Patent number: 9487242Abstract: A vehicle body lower portion structure that may prevent or suppress an occurrence of cracks in a support plate even if a load from an obstacle on a road surface is inputted at an end portion of the support plate. Support portions are configured at a stack frame. Lower faces of flange portions of a metal plate member are fixed to the support portions via adhesive layers. Extended end portions are formed extending from the support portions at a front end portion and a rear end portion of the stack frame. At each extended end portion of the stack frame, an inclined portion is formed. The inclined portion is inflected toward a vehicle body upper side from a projected portion of the support portion, and is inclined to a side away from the flange portion of the metal plate member.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2014Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Shin Terada, Kentaro Nakamura, Koki Ikeda, Shinya Kamimura

Publication number: 20160318556Abstract: In a battery frame, an upper panel is made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic, and first reinforcements are made of sheet metal. Head portions of rivets are disposed at the upper panel side, and a diameter dimension of the head portions is set larger than that of caulking portions of the rivets. This enables a contact surface area between the rivets and the upper panel to be larger than in cases in which the caulking portions are disposed at the upper panel side. This enables peripheral edge portions of first joint holes in the upper panel to be supported by the head portions of the rivets over a large surface area. The peripheral edge portions of the first joint holes in the upper panel are thereby suppressed from breaking and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2014Publication date: November 3, 2016Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Koki IKEDA, Kiyoshi HOKAZONO, Shinya KAMIMURA, Kentaro NAKAMURA, Shin TERADA, Tomohiro SAKURAI
