Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
There is provided a structure capable of ensuring a bearing surface pressure on an inner diameter side and an outer diameter side of a washer even if a thickness of the washer is suppressed. In a washer used at a fastening portion of a vehicle, a configuration in which a bearing surface is sectionalized into two faces, an inner abutting face and an outer abutting face, by an annular groove is adopted.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A washer used at a fastening portion of a vehicle, comprising a bearing surface sectionalized into two faces, an inner abutting face and an outer abutting face, by an annular groove that is provided on only one side of the washer, a depth of the groove is configured to be shorter than a radial length of the groove and a ratio of the depth of the groove and the radial length of the groove is set to be in a range of 2:5 to 1:4. 2. A vehicle structure in which the washer according to claim 1 is interposed between a vehicle component and a head of a bolt, the vehicle structure comprising: an annular space defined by the annular groove and the vehicle component.
