Abstract
A vehicle component, comprising a first arm, a second arm, and a yoke portion that connects the first arm and the second arm, wherein at least one of the first arm, the second arm and the yoke portion comprises a tubular structure and an interior wall that divides the tubular structure into a first tubular chamber and a second tubular chamber.
Claims19
A vehicle component, comprising:
- a first arm;
- a second arm;
- and
- a yoke portion that connects said first arm and said second arm;
- said first arm comprising:
- an inner wall that faces said second arm;
- and
- a bulging region comprising a tubular structure;
- said bulging region protruding further in a direction of said second arm than an intermediate region of said inner wall intermediate said bulging region and said yoke portion;
- said tubular structure comprising an interior wall that divides said tubular structure into a first tubular chamber and a second tubular chamber.

A vehicle component comprising:
- a first arm comprising a tubular structure having an interior wall that divides said tubular structure into a first tubular chamber and a second tubular chamber, and a first receptacle formed to receive a first end of an axle of a wheel;
- a second arm comprising a second receptacle formed to receive a second end of said axle;
- and
- a yoke portion that connects said first arm and said second arm, said yoke portion comprising a cylindrical receptacle having a longitudinal axis centered in a cross-section of the cylindrical receptacle and parallel to a plane orthogonal to an axis of the axle through said first receptacle and said second receptacle and midway between said first receptacle and said second receptacle, wherein said longitudinal axis is offset from said orthogonal plane by at least 5 mm.

- an outer wall surrounding the cylindrical inner wall;
- a first interior wall, a second interior wall, a third interior wall, and a fourth interior wall, each substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the receptacle and extending radially from the cylindrical inner wall to the outer wall to create a first chamber, a second chamber, a third chamber, and a fourth chamber;
- wherein the first interior wall is substantially orthogonal to both the second interior wall and the fourth interior wall, and the third interior wall is substantially orthogonal to the second interior wall;
- the first chamber and the second chamber are separated by the first interior wall;
- and
- the third chamber and the fourth chamber are separated by the third interior wall.
