A reinforcement panel for the floor of a pick-up truck bed. The reinforcement panel is assembled between the floor of the pick-up truck and a fifth wheel cross member. The reinforcement panel includes transversely extending reinforcing or stiffening ribs. The stiffening ribs resist deflection in the area of the gooseneck ball receptacle.

A pickup is adapted to facilitate installation of a gooseneck hitch by installation of a hitch frame between the frame rails under the pickup bed box and provision of a hole in the pickup bed floor over the hitch frame. The bead pattern is designed to add rigidity in the vicinity of the hole. The beads on the left and the right of the hole are not interrupted in the vicinity of the hole. Instead, they are narrowed such that the separation between the beads is greater than the hole diameter in the vicinity of the hole while it is less than the diameter of the hole in other locations.

A vehicle body structure in which load or stress can be sufficiently transferred also to a wall surface of a member that includes a rear side member and has a polygonal cross-section is provided. A fastening portion of a member such as a towing hitch member is attached below a first surface of a member such as rear side members, for example, by interposing a rear floor pan side. A stiffening bracket is attached from above a second surface opposite to a first surface of the rear side members, and these are fastened by a nut and a bolt. In addition, the bracket is fastened to lateral surfaces of the rear side members by bolts and nuts.

A tow device is mounted between two structural members of a vehicle which share in absorbing a moment of force transmitted through the device when the vehicle is towed. One of the structural members is substantially normal to the axis about which the moment of force acts to provide resistance to structural deformation, while permitting the device to project below the vehicle body proper to prevent accidental impacting of the vehicle underbody on the road.

A trailer coupling for a motor vehicle comprises a coupling arm, on the free end region of which a ball neck is formed, on which a coupling ball is arranged. The coupling ball is spherical on the side facing away from the ball neck and has a spherical segment plane on the side facing the ball neck. Between the spherical segment plane and a portion of the ball neck has a smaller outer circumference than the spherical segment plane there is arranged a throat portion having a transition contour extending in a concave manner between the ball neck and the spherical segment. The transition contour transitions with a coupling ball transition region into an external contour of the coupling ball and transitions with a ball neck transition region into an outer surface of the ball neck. The transition contour has a curved configuration having a non-constant radius.

A flat plate nose frame design for a tractor in which a thick, flat structural plate is connected to and forwardly extends from the conventional frame rails of the tractor. The flat plate nose frame design increases vertical clearance under the hood without raising the hood height or reducing ground clearance. The nose plate is contoured to match the exterior contours of the tractor grill and hood eliminating the need for a separate aesthetic component covering the nose plate. The nose plate features a pair of vertically aligned short-height frame plates extending forwardly along the axis from the deep-section frame rails to increase strength in the flat nose plate without significantly increasing vertical height of the nose plate assembly. The flat plate nose frame is capable of withstanding operational loads as well as supporting a weight package or front-mounted implements. Additionally, a releasable connector for a tow cable common on large tractors may also be connected to and supported by the flat plate nose frame without adverse impact to its primary advantages.

A vehicle rear structure is provided that can efficiently transmit input loads, and ensure sufficient durability against any input load that may be repeatedly applied in normal usage during the life cycle of a vehicle. A representative configuration of a vehicle rear structure according to the present invention is a vehicle rear structure for supporting, at the rear of a vehicle, an opening and closing body that can be opened and closed, including: a back panel disposed in an area extending from a lower end of the opening and closing body to the bottom of the vehicle; and a striker bracket provided substantially at the center in the width direction of the vehicle on a vehicle front-side of the back panel and extending from the vicinity of an upper end of the back panel to the vicinity of a lower end thereof.
摘要:
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. 2).
摘要:
A bumper system having a bumper running transverse to the longitudinal direction of a vehicle and at least one connecting element mounted thereon for the purpose of attaching the bumper to a vehicle, in particular to a longitudinal beam of a passenger car. The connecting element is a multi-chamber extruded section of metal with longitudinal axis running in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The connecting element is in the form of a safety element which, under impact, absorbs impact energy by compressive deformation. For the purpose of connecting a towing device, an attachment member is provided that is situated in one of the hollow chambers of the connecting element.
摘要:
An assembly (10) for mounting an accessory to a vehicle includes a central frame member (12), a pair of vehicle mounting brackets (30), a first accessory receiver (40) and a first accessory receiver mounting bracket (40) secured to both the first accessory receiver (40) and the central frame member (12). The mounting bracket may assume the form of a single plate or a pair of cooperating plates.
