Abstract

A mounting bolt for a sub-frame is disclosed. A mounting bolt for a sub-frame that is used to engage a sub-frame to a front side member of a vehicle according to one or a plurality of exemplary embodiments of the present invention may include a bolt body that is inserted into a penetration hole of a mounting bracket fixed on the front side member and is joined to the mounting bracket through a first flange that is formed at an upper end circumference thereof, a support body at which a second flange is formed at a lower end circumference to have a hollow space and is disposed on the bolt body, and a joining plate that is interposed between the first flange and the second flange and is welded with a first join protrusion that is formed on an upper surface of the first flange and a second join protrusion that is formed on a lower surface of the second flange by electrical resistance.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mounting bolt for a sub-frame that is used to engage a sub-frame to a front side member of a vehicle, comprising:
a bolt body that is inserted into a penetration hole of a mounting bracket fixed on the front side member and is joined to the mounting bracket through a first flange that is formed at an upper end circumference thereof;
a support body at which a second flange is formed at a lower end circumference to have a hollow space and is disposed on the bolt body; and
a joining plate that is interposed between the first flange and the second flange and is welded with a first join protrusion that is formed on an upper surface of the first flange and a second join protrusion that is formed on a lower surface of the second flange by electrical resistance.

2. The mounting bolt for a sub-frame of claim 1 , wherein
the bolt body is joined to the mounting bracket by electrical resistance welding through a welding protrusion that protrudes along a lower surface circumference of the first flange.

3. The mounting bolt for a sub-frame of claim 1 , wherein
an insert element that protrudes on an upper surface center of the bolt body is inserted into a lower end portion of the support body.

4. The mounting bolt for a sub-frame of claim 1 , wherein
the joining plate has a disk shape in which a penetration hole is formed at a center portion thereof.

5. The mounting bolt for a sub-frame of claim 1 , wherein
the joining plate has a contact element of which the thickness is thicker than another part and that is formed along a circumference such that the first join protrusion of the first flange and the second join protrusion of the second flange are seated to be supported by the contact element.

6. The mounting bolt for a sub-frame of claim 1 , wherein
the bolt body and the support body are welded by single resistance welding in a condition that the joining plate is interposed between the first flange and the second flange and the bolt body is inserted into the penetration hole of a mounting bracket.

7. The mounting bolt for a sub-frame of claim 6 , wherein
the resistance welding is performed by projection welding.
