Lower control arm

Abstract

A lower tripod includes a body, a ball joint reinforcing member connected to the body, two pivot assemblies, and an impact-resistant connecting bracket. The body includes a first member and a second member connected to each other. The first member has a first protrusion, and the ball joint reinforcing member has a second protrusion, wherein the second protrusion is adjacent to the first protrusion. The pivot assemblies and the impact-resistant connecting bracket are disposed on the body, wherein the impact-resistant connecting bracket is adjacent to a through-hole in the body.

Claims

1. A tripod, comprising: A body comprising a first member and a second member interconnected thereto, wherein the first member forms a first protrusion; a ball-head reinforcing member connected to the body and forming a second protrusion and a hole, wherein the second protrusion is adjacent to the first protrusion and the hole is configured to accommodate a movable ball head; two pivoting components disposed on the body; and a U-shaped impact-resistant connecting bracket disposed on the body and adjacent to a through hole in the body.

2. The tripod as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first member includes two first extensions, two second extensions and a connecting portion connecting the ball joint reinforcement member and the first extensions, and the second extensions connecting the first extensions and the pivoting components, wherein the first extensions are located on the opposite side of the perforation.

3. The tripod as described in claim 2, wherein the ball joint reinforcement extends in a horizontal direction, and a first angle is formed between the first extension and the horizontal direction, and the first angle is between 130 and 140 degrees.

4. As in claim 3, the tripod wherein a second angle is formed between the second extension and the horizontal direction, and the second angle is between 165 and 175 degrees.

5. As in request item 2, the tripod in which the widths of the first extensions are different.

6. The tripod as claimed in claim 2, wherein the shock-resistant connecting bracket connects the first and second components and includes a base plate and two side plates extending from the base plate, wherein an opening is formed between the side plates and the opening faces the perforation.

7. The tripod as described in claim 6, wherein the first member forms two grooves and each of the side plates forms a locking block, wherein the locking blocks are respectively embedded in the grooves.

8. As in claim 1, the tripod wherein the first protrusion of the first member partially obscures the second protrusion of the ball-end reinforcement member.

9. The tripod as claimed in claim 1, wherein the thickness of the second protrusion of the ball joint reinforcement member is greater than the thickness of the first member and the second member.

10. The tripod as requested in claim 1, wherein the ball joint reinforcement, the impact-resistant connecting bracket, and the first and second components are welded together.
