20080272618 | Vehicle hood structure - A vehicle hood structure of the present invention has: a hood outer panel structuring a vehicle body outer side surface of a hood; a hood inner panel disposed along an entire region of a reverse surface of the hood outer panel, a cross-sectional configuration of the hood inner panel as seen from a vehicle longitudinal direction being a wavy configuration; and shelf portions formed along the vehicle longitudinal direction at side wall portions of the wavy cross-sectional configuration, wherein the cross-sectional configuration of a wavy configuration, of the hood inner panel, is formed along the vehicle longitudinal direction. | 11-06-2008 |
20110169303 | VEHICULAR HOOD STRUCTURE - A hood lock reinforcement is configured as a result of a thick sheet and a thin sheet whose sheet thicknesses are mutually different being joined, and in this hood lock reinforcement, a bottom portion including a site to which a striker is fixed is configured by the thick sheet and is disposed on a bottom wall portion of a hood inner panel. Further, an extension portion disposed extending from a hood front-rear direction rear end of the bottom portion of the hood lock reinforcement toward a hood outer panel side has a site on the hood outer panel side whose sheet thickness is set thin as compared to the sheet thickness of the bottom portion of the hood lock reinforcement as a result of that site being configured by the thin sheet. | 07-14-2011 |
20120285759 | VEHICLE HOOD STRUCTURE - A vehicle hood structure capable of both raising the energy absorbing ability when an impacting body has impacted a hood and enhancing deformation properties of the hood during a frontal collision. A framework formation section configuring a central region in a hood inner panel is provided with beads and indented portions formed to extend along the hood front-rear direction. Plural through holes are formed at a hood front-rear direction substantially central portion of the framework formation section in a row along the hood width direction. The through holes are formed in bottom portions of the indented portions. Beads are also formed in the two hood width direction edge portions in positions aligned with the hood front-rear direction positions of the through holes. | 11-15-2012 |
20130015682 | VEHICLE HOOD STRUCTUREAANM Ikeda; KokiAACI Toyota-shiAACO JPAAGP Ikeda; Koki Toyota-shi JPAANM Yonezawa; SeihoAACI Toyota-shiAACO JPAAGP Yonezawa; Seiho Toyota-shi JP - A hood structure that is for a vehicle and that can cause an increase in energy absorption performance when colliding with a collided object. An undulating section wherein beads and concavities are provided in alternation along the widthwise direction of the hood and that has a wavy shape in a cross sectional view is formed at nearly the entire central region of a hood inner panel. In the cross section of the wavy shape of the undulating section, the widthwise measurement between the peaks of the beads that are formed on both adjacent sides of any given bead side from the two on the ends among the plurality of beads is set in a manner so as to be smaller than 165 mm, which is the outer diameter of a head impactor that simulates the head of a pedestrian. | 01-17-2013 |
20130154308 | VEHICLE BODY LOWER PORTION STRUCTURE - To obtain a vehicle body lower portion structure that can efficiently absorb and disperse load of a front or rear collision including an offset collision or an oblique collision, and transmit the load to an underbody. A vehicle body lower portion structure has an underbody at which a dash lower portion and a lower back portion are provided to stand from both ends in a vehicle front-rear direction at a floor portion, a suspension member the length direction thereof is along a vehicle transverse direction and is joined to the underbody in a state of planarly-contacting a front surface of the dash lower portion, and a front EA member a length direction thereof is along the vehicle transverse direction and is joined to a front wall of the suspension member. | 06-20-2013 |
20130320713 | VEHICLE LOWER SECTION STRUCTURE - A vehicle lower section structure is obtained that has a simple structure and is capable of increasing the rigidity and strength of a framework structure that is long in the vehicle front-rear direction. A vehicle lower section structure includes: an upper panel including a pair of respectively vehicle-downwards facing joining faces that are separated from each other in the vehicle width direction; a lower panel that with the upper panel configures a framework structure that is long in the vehicle front-rear direction and has a closed cross-section by the joining faces of the upper panel being joined to vehicle-upwards facing joining faces of the lower panel; and a seat rail that is long in the vehicle front-rear direction and is fixed to a portion of the upper panel that configures an upper wall of the closed cross-section of the framework structure. | 12-05-2013 |
20140062142 | VEHICLE HOOD STRUCTURE - A hood inner panel that is provided with plural wave-shaped portions that extend in a vehicle longitudinal direction is provided at a vehicle lower side of a hood outer panel. A lock reinforcement is disposed at a lower side of a vehicle front of the hood inner panel. Front end portions of the plural wave-shaped portions of the hood inner panel are positioned further toward a vehicle front side than a rear end portion of the lock reinforcement. | 03-06-2014 |
20140300141 | RESIN FLOOR STRUCTURE OF VEHICLE - Rocker portions and a tunnel portion that serve as frame portions extend along a vehicle longitudinal direction respectively at vehicle transverse direction both end portions of an upper floor and a vehicle transverse direction central portion of an upper floor. On the other hand, a dash panel or a back panel is provided erect respectively at a front end portion of a lower floor ( | 10-09-2014 |
20150048652 | VEHICLE BODY STRUCTURE - This provides a vehicle body structure including: a lower panel made of resin, which has a lower wall that forms a lower portion of a floor portion, an outer front wall that is placed to extend from a vehicle body front end of the lower wall to an upper direction of a vehicle body, and an outer back wall that is placed to extend from a vehicle body backside end of the lower wall to the upper direction of the vehicle body; and an upper panel made of resin, which has upper walls that form an upper portion of the floor portion opposite to the lower wall, an inner front wall that is placed to extend from the vehicle body front ends of the upper walls to the upper direction of the vehicle body and joined to the outer front wall and consequently forms a closed cross-section shape that extends in a vehicle width direction while including both of left and right ends at an upper portion of the outer front wall, and an inner back wall that is placed to extend from the vehicle body backside ends of the upper walls to the upper direction of the vehicle body and joined to the outer back wall and consequently forms a closed cross-section shape that extends in the vehicle width direction while including both of left and right ends at an upper portion of the outer back wall. | 02-19-2015 |
