Abstract
A chassis for vehicles, notably for motor vehicles, is characterized in that it includes a rigid base frame 2 and two absorption zones 4, 6 at the front and the rear associated with the frame 2 and in that said frame 2 and the absorption zones 4, 6 have a cell-like unitary structure.
Claims13
A chassis for a motor vehicle, said chassis consisting of a monolithic structure comprising a rigid base frame with front and rear impact energy absorption zones at the front and the rear of the base frame, respectively, the impact energy absorption zones extending parallel to a rolling axis of the chassis, said monolithic structure comprising an open framework of cells bounded only by walls extending parallel to a yaw axis of the chassis.
A chassis for a motor vehicle, said chassis comprising a rigid base frame and front and rear absorption zones extending along a rolling axis of the chassis at the front and the rear of said frame, said frame and said absorption zones having as a whole a unitary structure in the form of a plurality of cells having walls parallel to a yaw axis of said chassis, the front and rear absorption zones each comprising two side members connected to the base frame and extending parallel to the rolling axis of said chassis, said side members including connecting zones connecting said side members with the base frame, each connecting zone comprising at least two cells having a common wall and diverging walls, said common wall extending substantially parallel to the rolling axis of the chassis and the diverging walls opening out towards the base frame.
A chassis for a motor vehicle, said chassis comprising a rigid base frame and two impact energy absorption zones at the front and rear of said base frame and extending parallel to a rolling axis of the chassis, said base frame and said absorption zones consisting of a plurality of cells bounded only by walls extending parallel to a yaw axis of said chassis, said absorption zones comprising first portions having a plurality of pairs of cells having sections in the form of right-angle triangles, each pair of cells having a common wall comprising the hypotenuse to a pair of right-angle triangles and each cell of each pair of cells having a side wall extending parallel to a rolling axis of the chassis.
