Abstract: A vehicle body bottom structure includes a dash lower for separating a vehicle compartment from a power mounted room as well as separating the vehicle compartment from a wheel house, a front pillar which is erected at a vehicle-widthwise end portion of the dash lower, and a gusset which is bridged between the dash lower and the front pillar. The gusset is joined to the dash lower at one end thereof, and is spaced apart from the dash lower as the gusset approaches the front pillar, to be joined to the front pillar at the other end thereof, and a crushing space of a substantially triangular shape in a plan view is formed in a portion surrounded by the dash lower, the front pillar, and the gusset.

Abstract: In a vehicle body framework structure, a closed cross-section frame portion is formed by welding a first outer panel and a second outer panel, and an inner panel is arranged in a closed cross section of the closed cross-section frame portion. An upper joint piece of the inner panel is joined to a first wall portion of the first outer panel by spot welding, and a foaming adhesive material is temporarily fixed to a second wall portion of the second outer panel. When the foaming adhesive material is foamed, a foaming adhesive portion of the foamed foaming adhesive material adheres a lower joint piece of the inner panel and the second wall portion of the second outer panel.

Abstract: An engagement fixture of a shoulder belt is connected to and supported by an engagement buckle disposed in a vehicle interior. When a platform is positioned in a getting in/out position in a vehicle exterior, the engagement fixture of the shoulder belt can be temporarily connected to a temporary fastening fixture provided to the platform. To the contrary, when the platform is positioned in a loading position in a vehicle interior, a connection condition of the engagement fixture of the shoulder belt can be changed from a temporary connection of the fastening fixture to a securely supportable connection of an engagement buckle in the vehicle interior. Thus, it is possible to simplify a belt attaching operation after a wheelchair is loaded in a vehicle while a columnar support member used in the conventional platform is abolished.

Abstract: A design verification apparatus for verifying the suitability of a design to the objectives of a design for an industrial product is disclosed. New design data specification is input. Old design data closest to the new design data is fetched from a design example database and is revised according to the new design specifications. Specification items and tolerance ranges for the specification items are generated based on the input specifications. Verification items based on the old design data and tolerance ranges for the verification items are fetched from a knowledge database. Verify values for the specification items and for the verification items are calculated. The verify values obtained according to the specification items are compared with the tolerance ranges for the specification items, and the verify values obtained according to the verification items are compared with the tolerance ranges for the verification items.
