20120074732 | VEHICLE FRAMEWORK MEMBER - When front side members are bent by a front-rear-directional collision of a vehicle, the front side members come in surface, not point, contact with an adjacent member in the vehicle by a contact surface formed at a contact portion. Accordingly, the front-rear-directional collision load is stably transmitted to a member, such as an adjacent engine, such that it is possible to efficiently improve the effect of distributing and reducing the load in a collision. Further, since the bent front side members stably come in surface, not point, contact with the adjacent member, such as the engine in the vehicle, it is possible to decrease the possibility of unexpected fracturing of the front side members. | 03-29-2012 |
20120074734 | VEHICLE FRONT STRUCTURE - When a load caused by a collision is transmitted from the front side of a vehicle, tire cutout portions of front side members are deformed by the load transmitted from the front side of the vehicle.

The tire cutout portion is formed between two engine mounts. Accordingly, a starting point from which the front side member begins to be deformed is set between the engine mounts that are two supported portions of the power unit, so that the stable bending and deformation of the front side member are controlled. Further, a transmission path of a load toward the power unit is newly formed. Accordingly, a load, which is caused by a collision or the like and transmitted from the front side of the vehicle, is dispersed on the power unit that is hard and has large mass. As a result, it is possible to increase efficiency of absorbing impact at the time of a collision. | 03-29-2012 |
20120104804 | VEHICLE BODY STRUCTURE - Disclosed is a vehicle body structure that can improve the absorption performance of a load applied to a vehicle is provided. When a load is applied, the sub-side member retreats as a link member turns. Additionally, the retreat of the sub-side member is suppressed when the link member reaches a termination position of the turning. As the link member turns, the sub-side member can reliably retreat to a target position. The link member can turn to retreat the sub-side member, and simultaneously apply a reaction force against the load. Additionally, the sub-side member can generate a large reaction force against the load after having retreated to the target position. Through the above, the sub-side member can move reliably while generating a reaction force to attenuate the load until the member retreats to the target position, and can generate a large reaction force after the member has retreated to the target position. | 05-03-2012 |
