Patent number: 9333868Abstract: A charging connector accommodation apparatus for use in a truck-type or pickup-type electric vehicle includes a box body having an opening facing an outside of a vehicle body and an opening facing an inside of the vehicle body, and a lid member. The box body includes a frame body, and a center panel disposed inside the frame body. A bent edge folded toward the outside and joined to the frame body is provided at the center panel. A highly rigid frame section enhanced in rigidity by the bent edge is disposed is provided more outward to the outside than the center panel, and a hollow frame section having rigidity lower than that of the highly rigid frame section is disposed is provided more inward to the inside than the center panel of the box body.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2013Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignees: MITSUBISHI JIDOSHA KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA, MITSUBISHI JIDOSHA ENGINEERING KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Takanobu Uchida, Takashi Yakata, Isahiro Imamura, Masanori Kobayashi, Tatsuaki Kawahara, Kenshiro Miyashita

Patent number: 6854767Abstract: A vehicle has a shoulder anchor mounting structure. In the shoulder anchor mounting structure, a side roof rail extending in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle at a roof side of the vehicle is constructed such that an inner member and an outer member thereof form a closed section. A first reinforcement that partitions the closed section is interposed between the inner member and the outer member, and a second reinforcement that has a peripheral edge thereof joined to the first reinforcement is interposed between the first reinforcement and the inner member. The second reinforcement has a bottom wall joined to an inner surface wall of the inner member, and a shoulder anchor member of a seat belt is mounted on an abutment part where the bottom wall and the inner member abut on each other.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2002Date of Patent: February 15, 2005Assignee: Mitsubishi Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takashi Yakata, Hideki Honjo

Patent number: 6648404Abstract: There is provided a vehicle body side structure that is capable of effectively reinforcing door hinge mounting parts of a pillar. In a vehicle skeleton member forming a closed section by an outer side structure and an inner side structure, a side sill reinforcement is disposed inside the closed section. The side sill reinforcement is provided to extend from a front pillar up to a side sill. The door hinge mounting parts are provided on an external surface of the front pillar. The side sill reinforcement is constructed such that a part disposed along the front pillar has a greater plate thickness than a part extending along the side sill. A support part intended for supporting the reverse side of the door hinge mounting part from the inner side of the outer side structure is provided in the part of the side sill reinforcement, which is disposed along the front pillar.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2002Date of Patent: November 18, 2003Assignees: Mitsubishi Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha, Mitsubishi Jidosha Engineering Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takashi Yakata, Hideki Honjo
