  • Patent number: 9956861
    Abstract: A framework structure of a body-on-frame vehicle, the framework structure comprises a first framework, a second framework, and a battery. The first framework includes: a pair of left and right side rails extending in a vehicle body front-and-rear direction, a first cross-member and a second cross-member, both extending in a vehicle body left-and-right direction and linking the side rails. The second framework is structured in a rectangular shape in plan view and includes: a front cross portion and a rear cross portion that are formed in chamber shapes and extend in the vehicle body left-and-right direction, and a left side cross portion and a right side cross portion that are formed in chamber shapes and extend in the vehicle body front-and-rear direction. The battery is disposed in a cavity surrounded by the first framework and the second framework.

  • Patent number: 9586546
    Abstract: A front structure of a vehicle includes two side members extending in a front-rear direction of the vehicle and a bumper beam located in front of the side members and extending in a lateral direction of the vehicle. The bumper beam is fixed to the side members and includes outer sections located outward in the lateral direction from the corresponding side members. A transfer portion extends generally rearward in the front-rear direction from at least one of the outer sections. An insertion portion is inserted into the at least one of the outer sections.

  • Publication number: 20150042124
    Abstract: In a vehicle front structure, a spacer protruding outwardly in a vehicle width direction from a front end of a side rail portion of a suspension member is extended toward a vehicle-width outer side relative to a front side member. Accordingly, when a vehicle has a short overlap collision with a barrier, it is possible to disperse a collision load from the barrier to the suspension member via the spacer. Besides, since the side rail portion of the suspension member is placed on the vehicle-width outer side relative to the power unit, it is possible to disperse the collision load to a power-unit side via the suspension member.

  • Publication number: 20130313259
    Abstract: A hole cover mountable in a hole in a panel without exceeding the specified value for the insertion load, and which is capable of remaining secure after mounting. The relative movement between locking claws and a panel from the start of the hole cover insertion until mounting is complete is indicated by the movement strokes upward from a reference line R on the panel. The magnitude of the insertion load with respect to each stroke is determined by the shapes of the respective inclined surfaces. The peak load-generating stroke position (dash-dot-dot line) at the time of panel insertion is controlled by giving the inclined surfaces on the locking claws of the hole cover different shapes, thereby keeping the insertion load peak value for the hole cover product as a whole within the specified value for the insertion load.
