Automobile e.g. private car, body, has vertical connecting plate placed at inner side of longitudinal lower and upper side rails, and fixed to side rails and connecting part by welding, where connecting part connects side rails

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The body has a longitudinal lower side rail (1) extending on both sides of a bulkhead (2) separating a cab interior and an engine compartment (3). A longitudinal upper side rail (5) is connected to the lower side rail by an inclined connecting part (6). A vertical connecting plate (10) is placed at an inner side of the lower and upper side rails, and is fixed to the rails and the connecting part by welding. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Body for an automobile e.g. private car. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The body is rigid and resists different mechanical stress such as brutal efforts applied at the front of the vehicle, so that efforts transit through different elements placed on the body, thus improving the stability of zones corresponding to junctions of the rails. The configuration of the body constitutes a unique effort path. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic representation of an automobile body. 1 : Longitudinal lower side rail 2 : Bulkhead 3 : Engine compartment 5 : Longitudinal upper side rail 6 : Inclined connecting part 10 : Vertical connecting plate.
