Patent number: 10336270Abstract: A vehicle and a manufacturing method thereof is provided in which separation of positively charged airflow from a positively charged surface of a vehicle body can be prevented. A vehicle body is insulated from a road surface, and positive static charges accumulate on the vehicle body during propulsion. The vehicle comprises a self-discharge device that is adapted to decrease a positive potential of at least any one of specific points at which positively charged airflow flowing along a vehicle surface deviates therefrom, during propulsion of the vehicle, by discharging static electricity to produce negative ions according to the positive potential of the specific point.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2014Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Koshi Yamada, Toshio Tanahashi, Hisashi Yabuki, Kazuhiko Omasa, Yoji Kanehara, Nagataka Sassa, Naohiko Saito, Narito Fujii, Tsuyoshi Ohkita, Masaaki Morimoto, Kazuhiro Maeda, Taro Yamashita, Fumiatsu Suzuki

Patent number: 9381956Abstract: In a vehicle to which a vehicle body front structure is applied, an opening portion is formed behind a rear end portion of an arch portion. The opening portion is held in communication with an air flow passage, and is opened backward with respect to the vehicle. Then, the air caused to flow into the air flow passage during traveling of the vehicle flows from a front side toward a rear side with respect to the vehicle, and is discharged from the opening portion backward with respect to the vehicle. Thus, the air current blown out from the air flow passage to an outside of the wheel house in a vehicle width direction via the wheel house is restrained from being produced. Therefore, the traveling wind flowing outside the wheel house in the vehicle width direction is restrained from hitting the air current.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2013Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Fumihiko Kishima, Kazuhiro Maeda, Kazuya Koizumi, Taro Yamashita
