Abstract: A rail assembly which is especially advantageous for use in constructing the frame and underbody of a motor vehicle comprises an upper channel member, a lower channel member and an intermediate member or web in the form of a corrugated sheet secured between the channel members and whose margins abuttingly engage the peripheral walls of the channels. Each furrow and ridge preferably comprises a planar panel portion. Each planar panel portion is interconnected by a web panel portion which is preferably angled at an acute angle with respect to the transverse axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rail. Preferably, each planar panel portion has a trapezoidal shape to maximize resistance to bending moments along the longitudinal axis of the rail. The rail design can also be incorporated into other structural elements in a vehicle, i.e. in a pillar arch or a vehicle body, to provide additional rigidity to the vehicle structure. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a pair of assembled frame rails are sandwiched between upper and lower flooring panels configured to form hollow transverse and longitudinal beams. In addition, the hollow beams formed by the flooring panels support a pillar arch and a cowl structure which are interconnected by a cross bar.

Abstract: A vehicle air deflector of the disclosure includes an air scoop mounted by an adjustable connection on a support portion of a support member that also has a mounting portion which is positioned between an associated vehicle side door and a detachable exterior rear view mirror support of the door. The adjustable connection for mounting the air scoop is preferably of the ball and socket type so as to permit adjustment of the horizontal and vertical directions of air deflection independently of each other. As disclosed, the rear view mirror and air deflector are located adjacent a front inclined edge of the side door window. The air scoop of the deflector has a curved shape and is positionable in a streamlined position so as to be concave in a downwardly and inwardly facing direction. In this streamlined position, a curved forward and upper edge and a curved rear edge cooperate to give the air scoop a swept-back shape. A straight lower edge of the air scoop is supported by an integral elongated bracket of a first ball socket portion that is cooperable with a second ball socket portion to receive a ball on the support portion of the support member. The mounting portion of the support member has a plate-like construction and defines an opening that receives rear view mirror remote controls upon being positioned between the door and the rear view mirror support. At least one hole in the mounting portion on one side of the opening and an elongated slot on the other side thereof receive securement screws of the rear view mirror support during mounting of the air deflector. The opening for the mirror controls opens in a downward direction below an upwardly extending projection that also defines a hole for receiving an additional securement screw.

Abstract: An independent suspension system for a vehicle driving axle is disclosed which includes a leading lower control arm which pivots about an axis which is nearly perpendicular to the upper control arm pivot axis and which is nearly perpendicular to the vehicle center line. By providing this perpendicular relationship between the pivot axes of the upper and lower control arms, an imaginary steering point results. This new imaginary steering point allows for improved vertical wheel travel, while minimizing the distance of half shaft plunge. By improving the vertical wheel travel and minimizing the distance of half shaft plunge, the ride of the vehicle is improved.

Abstract: An automobile includes a plastic body and a steel frame bonded to the plastic body. The front suspension system of the automobile includes a "v"-shaped control arm coupled to a front wheel. An arm shaft extends between the "v" of the control arm and is engaged with a rubber cartridge press-fit into a cartridge housing that is affixed to the frame. Thereby, motion of the control arm is attenuated. A horizontally-mounted transversely-oriented shock absorber further interconnects the control arm and frame. This shock absorber orientation avoids transferring suspension system loads to the plastic body.

Abstract: A vehicle body roof construction of the disclosure includes an improved edge structure adjacent closure members thereof such as a side door or rear tailgate and also includes an improved pillar structure for supporting a roof panel whose edge portions are stamped to define integrally connected flanges that constitute components of the improved roof edge structure. At the side and rear edge portions of the roof panel, roof inner members have extreme outer edges secured to extreme outer edges of the roof panel so as to cooperate therewith in providing a side roof rail and a tailgate header that define the upper extremities of side door and tailgate openings, respectively. An associated side door and a tailgate are mounted for movement between open and closed positions and include upper window frames that overlie the adjacent roof panel edge portion in their closed position. Pillars support the side edge portion of the roof panel at its juncture with the rear and front edge portions of the roof panel. Each pillar includes inner and outer members that define an enclosed chamber and include first and second portions that project along the adjacent front or rear edge portion and the side edge portion, respectively. The pillar outer member includes depressions in its projecting portions at a spaced location from the juncture of the roof panel edge portions.
