The lower structure is configured so that when a load F is applied from the vehicle rear to a vehicle body rear part, the side frame is deformed so as to be bent in an upward convex shape at a division position of the frame front part and the frame rear part, and also the rear floor and the hook reinforcing member are deformed so as to be bent in a downward convex shape at a division position of the reinforcing member front part and the reinforcing member rear part. | 05-26-2011 |
20110133504 | ON-BOARD TOOL STORAGE STRUCTURE - An object of the present invention is to provide a convenient on-board tool storage structure, the storage structure allowing a storage location of an on-board tool to be seen easily, and allowing the on-board tool to be taken out without detaching a spare tire. The on-board tool storage structure of the present invention is formed in a supporting member | 06-09-2011 |
20110156431 | LOWER STRUCTURE OF VEHICLE BODY REAR PORTION - A lower structure of a vehicle body rear portion, includes: a spare tire housing formed in a rear floor; a cross member joining paired side frames, and being provided at a location frontward of the housing; a reinforcement for a hook, being arranged at a center of the housing; and a bumper member provided at a rear end of the vehicle body, in which a front side of the reinforcement is attached to the cross member, the reinforcement forms a closed cross section so that the closed cross section is larger at a rear side than at a front side, the reinforcement includes front and rear portions obtained by dividing the reinforcement at a location corresponding to a center of a spare tire, and an upper side of a rear end of the rear portion is arranged below the bumper member and overlaps with the bumper member (FIG. | 06-30-2011 |
20110266823 | VEHICLE PROVIDED WITH SPARE WHEEL - An embodiment of a vehicle having: a boot compartment; a spare wheel, which is housed within the boot compartment; and a thrust device, which is set within the boot compartment, rests against the spare wheel, and pushes the spare wheel in an eccentric way in order to bring about a rotation of the spare wheel about a horizontal axis of rotation and towards a vertical position following upon a progressive reduction of the size of the boot compartment during impact. | 11-03-2011 |
20120175907 | APPARATUS FOR STOWING A SPARE TIRE - An apparatus for storing a spare tire is disclosed herein. The apparatus includes a hoisting device mountable to the underside of a vehicle. A tether is provided having a first portion and a second portion coupled to the hoisting device so that the first and second portions of the tether depend from the hosting device when it is mounted to the underside of a vehicle. A coupling member attached to the first portion of the tether permits an operator to attach the tether to the tire. A removable guard lays over at least part of the hub-facing wheel portion to cover one or more of the plurality of lug apertures such that the second portion of the tether cannot enter the plurality of lug apertures when the hosting device raises the spare tire. | 07-12-2012 |
20130049394 | AUTOMOTIVE REAR BODY STRUCTURE - A tire carrier member stands on a front inclined surface of a luggage storage well formed in a floor panel. Tire supporting flanges having upper surfaces on which a spare tire is placed are provided at the lower part of the tire carrier member. A tire fixing portion to which the spare tire in a vertical position is detachably fixed is provided above the tire supporting flanges. | 02-28-2013 |
20130119695 | SEAT MOUNTING - A seat mounting for mounting at least one motor vehicle seat on a motor vehicle body is provided. The seat mounting includes a supporting structure for accommodating the at least one seat. The supporting structure is mounted on the motor vehicle body in a pivoted fashion by means of at least one hinge and can be transferred between a normal position and a lifted loading position. | 05-16-2013 |
20140265407 | SECURING ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR VEHICLE COMPONENTS - A securing arrangement and method for securing a first vehicle component having a generally nonmetallic body to a second metallic vehicle component includes the first vehicle component having at least one magnet fixably secured thereto. An adhesive is applied and one or both of the first and second vehicle components are positioned relative the other of the first and second vehicle components for connecting the first and second vehicle components with the adhesive. The at least one magnet prevents relative movement between the first and second vehicle components while the adhesive cures. | 09-18-2014 |
20150336516 | TOOL STORAGE DEVICE USED IN A VEHICLE - A tool storage device includes a tool storage portion fitted to a spare tire and having an opening and a tool storage bottom surface and shaped such that an opening size of the opening is greater than an area of the tool storage bottom surface, and the tool storage portion includes a middle storage portion and first and second side storage portions. The middle storage portion has a middle storage bottom surface and side walls and receives an elongated tool, and one of the side walls has a holder to hold the elongated tool. The first side storage portion has a first side storage bottom surface that is above a second side storage bottom surface of the second side storage portion. The middle storage bottom surface is below the second side storage bottom surface, and the first and second side storage bottom surfaces are above the holder. | 11-26-2015 |
20160046335 | VEHICLE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT STRUCTURE - A vehicle luggage compartment structure includes a storage recess that is provided in a vehicle luggage compartment so as to store a spare tire, a lid that closes the storage recess, a rear panel that is provided so as to form a rear part of the storage recess, and a separate component that is detachably mounted substantially in the center of the rear panel on the side of the luggage compartment. | 02-18-2016 |
20160090046 | VEHICLE STORAGE TRAY ASSEMBLY - A first member of a storage tray assembly has first and second planar surfaces parallel to one another.
