  • Patent number: 10029735
    Abstract: A vehicle body structure includes a first panel, a second panel, a pulse detection sensor and a gap reduction member. The first panel has a first main section and a sensor installation location that is spaced apart from the first main section. The second panel has a second main section that is spaced apart from the first main section of the first panel and defines a gap therebetween. The pulse detection sensor is attached to the first panel at the sensor installation location. The gap reduction member is installed to the first main section of the first panel. The gap reduction member extends from the first main section toward the second main section within the gap.

  • Patent number: 9376142
    Abstract: A vehicle support structure including a vehicle floor, a vehicle frame and a restraining member. The vehicle floor includes a structural member rigidly attached to a lower surface of the vehicle floor. The vehicle frame is attached to the vehicle floor and includes a frame member that extends adjacent to and spaced apart from the structural member. The restraining member has a first end section attached to a first side of the structural member, a second end section attached to a second side of the structural member, and a restraining section extending from the first end section to the second end section. The restraining member at least partially encircles the frame member and is spaced apart from the frame member with a limited range of non-contacting movement between the restraining member and the frame member.
