Embodiment Construction

[0046] Now refer to the attached picture ,in picture Illustrated for purposes of illustrating one or more exemplary embodiments and without limitation, FIG. 1A illustrates a vehicle frame structure 10 comprising a vehicle frame 12 comprised of a plurality of elongated hollow frame members. . One of the elongated hollow frame members is a vertical pillar member 14 extending upwardly from a side sill member 16 to a roof rail member 18, both of which are optionally formed as part of the vehicle frame 12. Additional elongated hollow frame members. Accordingly, the elongated hollow frame member 14 is shown in FIG. 1A as a vehicle pillar member (eg, a B-pillar member). Alternatively, the elongated hollow frame member 14 may be another frame member on the vehicle, such as an A-pillar member or any other pillar member, a roof rail, a front or rear frame assembly side member, an underside frame Components (for example, cross-members), etc.

Abstract

A vehicle frame construction and method includes an elongated hollow frame member having a plurality of interior sides and a reinforcement member. The reinforcement member is formed from a thermoplastic polymer and is installed so as to be arranged within the elongated hollow frame member to reinforce each interior side of the elongated hollow frame member in a plane orthogonally oriented relative to a longitudinal axis of the elongated hollow frame member.

Description

[0001] This application claims U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. S / N61 / 977182, filed April 9, 2014, U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. S / N61 / 977185, filed April 9, 2014, filed April 9, 2014 US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. S / N61 / 977178, each of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0002] Vehicle frames and their construction are becoming more complex as vehicle manufacturers seek new ways to improve the structural integrity of the vehicle frame while maintaining and / or reducing the overall weight of the vehicle frame. These are often competing issues. That is, increasing the structural integrity of a vehicle frame (eg, improving crash performance) typically involves increasing the weight of the vehicle frame. Conversely, reducing the weight of the vehicle frame must be done carefully in order to avoid detrimentally altering the structural integrity of the vehicle frame. Various techni...
