  • Publication number: 20240138079
    Abstract: An electronic control device case prevents a gap provided therein. The electronic control device case includes: a body case including a bottom plate and a pair of side walls bent at and extended from both ends of the bottom plate and having a front opening; and a cover including a front plate closing the front opening of the body case. The body case includes a first flange bent at a front end of the bottom plate, and second flanges bent at respective front ends of the pair of side walls. The first flange is positioned on a first plane. The second flanges are positioned on a second plane different from the first plane. The first flange pushes a back surface at a lower edge of the front plate of the cover. The second flanges push front surfaces at both side ends of the front plate of the cover. In this configuration, the edge of the front plate of the cover is sandwiched and held between the first flange and each second flange.

  • Patent number: 7810878
    Abstract: A vehicle body structure, includes: a pair of front side members, front ends of which are joined to both ends of a front bumper via impact absorbing portions, respectively; front-side-member upper members, which are arranged above the front side members, and front ends of which are connected to the front side members, respectively; front-side-member lower members, which are arranged below the front side members, and front ends of which are connected to the front side members, respectively; and a dash cross member, which extends in a widthwise direction of a vehicle body, and to which rear ends of the front-side-member lower members are joined. The dash cross member includes wall portions with which parts of the rear ends of the front-side-member lower members can be brought in contact, on a rear side of the vehicle body.

  • Patent number: 7677643
    Abstract: A body framework construction, includes: a rear seat cross member, extending in a transverse direction of a vehicle, in a rear part of a body in a lower part of a passenger compartment; a dash cross member upper, extending in the transverse direction, in a front part of the passenger compartment; and a backbone, configured into a thin, long shape having a closed cross section, and extending in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. A front end portion of the backbone is connected to the dash cross member upper via a gusset, and a rear end portion of the backbone is joined to the rear seat cross member. The gusset is deformed more easily than the backbone relative to a force from a front.

  • Patent number: 7614687
    Abstract: An upper member of a pillar has a substantially U-shaped cross section, and includes first side walls extending substantially in a transverse direction of the vehicle at least at a lower portion, and a connecting plate at a lower end while keeping the U-shaped cross section. A lower member includes a mounting plate opposed to the connecting plate at a lower portion being lower than an upper end, and second side walls extending substantially in the transverse direction at both end portions of the mounting plate in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The connecting plate and the mounting plate are welded to each other in a state that they are in abutment with each other, and the first side walls and the second side walls are joined to each other, and the upper member and the lower member are integrally fixed to each other.
