A rear floor arrangement structure for a vehicle is provided. The rear floor arrangement structure includes a bottom part and a cross part that extends in a width direction of a vehicle body from one side of the bottom part. Additionally, a collision dispersion member is disposed at the bottom part and the cross part and the collision dispersion member extends along a collision direction of the vehicle body.

Load bearing panel member

A load bearing panel member having a first portion, a second portion, and an appearance surface portion is formed by injection molding such that the first portion includes a plurality of ribs forming a grid pattern on the first portion and another plurality of ribs extending toward the periphery of the first portion which may be non-orthogonal to each other and to the ribs forming the grid pattern. An internal channel may be formed within each of the non-orthogonal ribs by injecting a gas into the rib during the molding process forming the panel. An appearance surface portion attached to the first portion and second portion of the panel member forms an integral hinge between the first and second portions of the panel member. The panel member may be configured as a floor panel of a vehicle.

Floor structure of a motor vehicle body with a lightweight construction

A floor structure of a motor vehicle body is disclosed which respect includes a side skirt profile extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle (x) and a tunnel edge profile extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, The tunnel profile is spaced apart from the side skirt profile in the transverse direction of the vehicle (y). Two side skirt profiles run essentially parallel along the outsides of the floor structure. The tunnel edge profile extends in approximately a concentric manner to the side skirt profiles. A transmission hump is provided in the middle of the floor structure and typically extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is situated, fastened and/or reinforced thereon.

A fastening resin structure includes a preformed resin member, a fastener-receiving part of metal configured to be fastened to another structure, the fastener-receiving part having a portion joined to the preformed resin member, a foam portion provided on and formed integrally with the portion of the fastener-receiving part which is joined to the preformed resin member, and a joining resin interposed between the preformed resin member and the foam portion and impregnated with the foam portion to thereby join the preformed resin member and the fastener-receiving part via the resin-impregnated foam portion.

Truck body assembly and methods of making and using same

An assembly for utility truck bodies having metal and/or composite reinforcement(s) and/or foam reinforcements and/or honeycomb reinforcement/ and/or wood reinforcements encapsulated within a thermoformed thermoplastic, or thermoset or fiber-reinforced thermoset walking surface floor structure of the truck bed assembly or other composite floor structure with attachable components and junctions, e.g., sidepack(s), and methods of making the same are provided.

VEHICLE ENERGY ABSORPTION STRUCTURE AND ENERGY ABSORPTION MEMBER

A vehicle energy absorption structure includes an energy absorption member made of fiber reinforced resin. At least part, in a thickness direction, of that wall extending in a load input direction of the energy absorption member is provided with a plurality of discontinuous portions discontinued from each other in the load input direction, the plurality of discontinuous portions being arranged along the load input direction.

Body rail for a motor vehicle

A vehicle body rail for a motor vehicle, which is constructed of fiber-reinforced plastic and is designed as a vehicle body rail which absorbs energy in the event of a collision of the motor vehicle, includes a wall. The wall is provided with indentations and/or elevations such that, in the event of an application of a predetermined collision threshold load in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body rail, a failure of the wall by fragmentation takes place in the area of the indentations and/or elevations.

Chassis for an autonomous mobile robot

A chassis for an autonomous mobile robot comprises a moulded frame having a stable support for any payload or additional machinery loaded on top of the mobile robot, while ensuring a rigidity of the chassis which again ensures that the supporting elements for the sensors are kept in a stable position relative to each other. The chassis has several separated compartments for EEE placement. These EEE compartments are accessible from the sides and ends of the mobile robot by removing detachable cover parts. A removable top cover is mounted on top of the moulded frame providing a top covering for central inside compartment and outside side compartments. Side covers and end covers are provided for outside compartments and are removable.

Truck body assembly and methods of making and using same
