Appl. No.:

10/604480

Inventors:

Peyman Aghssa - Ann Arbor MI
John Jude Fusco - White Lake MI
William Moore Sherwood - Royal Oak MI
Martin Wedel - Leamington Spa, GB

Assignee:

Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI

International Classification:

B62D 2508

US Classification:

29618711, 296204, 296 30, 280784

Abstract:

The present invention provides a rear impact absorption system for a motor vehicle. The rear impact absorption system includes a rear body assembly including longitudinally extending rear rails including first and second portions having first and second respective heights relative to a generally horizontal plane, the first height being greater than the second height. The invention further provides a neutralizing member connectable to bridge the first and second heights of each rear rail so as to minimize the effect of a moment arm created by the first and second heights during a rear impact.

International Classification:

B62D 25/08

US Classification:

29620304, 296204, 29618711

Abstract:

The invention discloses a uni-body frame subassembly for a motor vehicle having a towing hitch member. The uni-body frame subassembly involves a configuration for neutralizing the effect of a rear impact involving the rear bumper and the towing hitch member. More specifically, the subassembly comprises reinforcements for supporting and controlling the frame rail segments in a crash event. Controlling the collapse of the uni-body frame subassembly helps to dissipate energy from the impact and as a result delivers less energy to a vehicle occupant compartment.

International Classification:

B62D 25/20

US Classification:

29618708, 29619307, 280794

Abstract:

A cross-brace structure for a police interceptor SUV includes a front member and a rear member, coupled through a connecting element. The front member has its two ends mounted over the rear floor of the vehicle, and the rear member has a first end and a second end, mounted on the left side rail and the right side rail of the vehicle, respectively. During an impact from the rear side, the crash load gets transferred to the non-impacted rear side through the rear bumper of the vehicle, and eventually, through the left and right rear side rails, towards the rear member of the cross-brace structure. The rear member transfers the crash load towards the front member, and further, towards the front portions of the vehicle, through the front sections of the left side rail and the right side rail.
