Patent number: 9254872Abstract: A longitudinal member is configured to transmit a part of a collision load occurring in a vehicle head-on collision to a suspension cross member by way of a front portion, a bending portion, and a rear portion. A lower arm, a portion of which is co-fastened to a vehicle body together with a fastening portion, is configured to transmit another part of the collision load occurring in the vehicle head-on collision to the fastening portion from the front portion. Accordingly, the rear end of the sub frame can be properly detached from the vehicle body in the vehicle head-on collision even in a case in which any weak portion extending in a vehicle width direction may not be provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2014Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Takahiro Otani, Kohtaro Sasage, Nobuhiko Hibino, Yasushi Ishikawa, Shunsuke Kanemoto

Patent number: 8746718Abstract: An object of the present invention is to effectively ensure the rigidity of supporting a front suspension with a simple configuration, without increasing the weight of a vehicle body. In a suspension mounting structure for a vehicle in which a front suspension is supported by sub frames 3, the sub frames 3 have a pair of right and left side sub frames 9 that extend in a front-rear direction of a vehicle in lower parts of front side frames 2; and a rear sub cross member 11 that couples rear end parts of the right and left side frames 9 to each other.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2011Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Takahiro Otani, Masanobu Fukushima, Hiroaki Takeshita

Patent number: 8490988Abstract: A suspension cross member comprises a middle-portion attaching member which extends upwardly from a suspension cross member body, and a pipe-shaped attaching member which is supported at a support portion provided at an upper portion of the middle-portion attaching member. A side portion, in a vehicle width direction, a front portion and a rear portion, in a vehicle longitudinal direction, of a side face portion of the attaching member are supported at the support portion. A lower portion of the attaching member is supported at the support portion with a specified support rigidity, in the vehicle longitudinal direction, which is lower than that of the supporting of the side portion, the front portion or the rear portion of the side face portion of the attaching member.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2010Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Hiroaki Takeshita, Takahiro Otani, Masanobu Fukushima

Patent number: 8267429Abstract: A positioning pin and a bolt hole positioned near this pin are provided at a plate-shaped rear-portion attachment face portion of a suspension cross member. A positioning hole having the positioning pin inserted thereinto and a bolt hole positioned near this positioning hole are provided at a tunnel frame on the side of a vehicle. The rear-portion attachment face portion and the tunnel frame are fastened by a bolt inserting into the bolt holes together with a nut. Accordingly, the support rigidity of the suspension cross member during the normal vehicle traveling can be secured and the smooth retreat of the power unit to restrain the collision load from having bad influence on passengers in the vehicle frontal collision can be achieved.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2010Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Mazda Motor CompanyInventors: Hiroaki Takeshita, Takahiro Otani, Masanobu Fukushima, Ryuichi Kusama, Hiromasa Honji
