  • Patent number: 11007957
    Abstract: A bumper structural body (100) includes a bumper reinforcement (10), energy absorbing members (30a, 30b), and intermediate members (50a, 50b). The sloped sections (12a, 12b) of the bumper reinforcement (10) are connected to the energy absorbing members (30a, 30b) and the intermediate members (50a, 50b). The intermediate members (50a, 50b) are each formed in a quadrilateral by connecting a first portion (51) contacting the energy absorbing member (30a, 30b), a second portion (52) contacting the bumper reinforcement (10), and portions connecting the first portion (51) and the second portion (52).

  • Patent number: 10549787
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle body floor structure capable of effectively preventing deformation of a floor panel by increasing bending strength of the floor panel even when an upper reinforcing member of the floor panel is removed. A vehicle body floor structure of the present invention includes a dash cross member disposed along a kick-up portion on a lower surface side of a floor panel, a novel front side frame having an outer frame and an inner frame at a rear portion of a side frame body, and a floor panel on which beads are formed to form a closed cross-section in cooperation with the outer frame and the inner frame.

  • Patent number: 10023232
    Abstract: A vehicle body front structure includes: a bracket 21 that is placed on a lower portion of a front side frame 12; and a front subframe 16 that is attached to a lower portion of the bracket with a bolt 22. The bracket includes: a closed-end hollow bracket body 30 that is suspended from the front side frame; a bulkhead 40 that is located above a bottom plate 31 of the bracket body and vertically partitions the bracket body; and a collar 50 that extends from the bulkhead to the bottom plate of the bracket body. A thickness t2 of the bulkhead is smaller than a thickness t1 of the bracket body. The bulkhead joined to the bracket body has a bulkhead-side flange 44 joined to the front side frame.
