  • Patent number: 8814251
    Abstract: Under covers for a vehicle body are attached to a lower surface of the vehicle body in such a manner that, as seen in a direction of travel of a vehicle, the under covers are arranged at positions in front of rear wheels and in at least a rear half of a lower surface of the vehicle body. Recessed grooves are formed in pairs in a surface of an under cover body that faces a road surface, and are arranged so as face each other across a widthwise center of the vehicle, and gradually approach closer to each other as they extend rearward in the direction of travel of the vehicle. Rear ends of these grooves are located between the left and right rear wheels and are directed to the widthwise center of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 7147275
    Abstract: A vehicle body includes a front part having a dashboard. The dashboard has an upper end portion bulged in a rearward direction of the vehicle body. The bulged upper end portion covers an upper portion of a rear reinforcing member with a constant interval provided therebetween. The bulged upper end portion is joined to an upper member and a damper housing. The bulged upper end portion and the rear reinforcing member are combined together to form a closed cross-sectional member directed towards a front pillar and extending from a side frame to the upper member. The rear reinforcing member extends from a lower joining portion located forwardly of a lower part of the dashboard through inside of the bulged upper end portion to the upper member. The rear reinforcing member takes the form of a generally straight line, as viewed in all of front elevation, top plan and side elevation.
