Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An assembly of a dash panel and a brake master cylinder unit of a vehicle disclosed herein may include: a panel-side support plate arranged between the brake master cylinder unit and the dash panel, the panel-side support plate being parallelly fixed to the dash panel; a unit-side support plate arranged between the dash panel and the panel-side support plate, the unit-side support plate being fixed to the brake master cylinder unit; a first anti-vibration plate interposed between the dash panel and the unit-side support plate; a second anti-vibration plate interposed between the unit-side support plate and the panel-side support plate; and a third anti-vibration plate interposed between the panel-side support plate and the brake master cylinder unit. A rigidity of the second anti-vibration plate in a plate thickness direction may be greater than any of rigidities of the first and the third anti-vibration plates in plate thickness directions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An assembly of a dash panel and a brake master cylinder unit of a vehicle, wherein the brake master cylinder unit comprises an electric motor configured to increase an oil pressure depending on a pressing force on a brake pedal, and the brake master cylinder unit is arranged in front of the dash panel and connected to the brake pedal with a push rod, the assembly comprising: a panel-side support plate arranged between the brake master cylinder unit and the dash panel, the panel-side support plate being parallelly fixed to the dash panel; a unit-side support plate arranged between the dash panel and the panel-side support plate, the unit-side support plate being fixed to the brake master cylinder unit; a first anti-vibration plate interposed between the dash panel and the unit-side support plate; a second anti-vibration plate interposed between the unit-side support plate and the panel-side support plate; and a third anti-vibration plate interposed between the panel-side support plate and the brake master cylinder unit, wherein a rigidity of the second anti-vibration plate in a plate thickness direction is greater than any of rigidities of the first and the third anti-vibration plates in plate thickness directions. 2. The assembly of claim 1 wherein the first anti-vibration plate, a unit-side support plate, a second anti-vibration plate, a panel-side support plate, and a third anti-vibration plate are stacked between the dash panel and the brake master cylinder unit in this order from a rear side to a front side of the vehicle. 3. An assembly of a dash panel and a brake master cylinder unit of a vehicle, wherein the brake master cylinder unit comprises an electric motor configured to increase an oil pressure depending on a pressing force on a brake pedal, and the brake master cylinder unit is arranged in front of the dash panel and connected to the brake pedal with a push rod, the assembly comprising: a panel-side support plate arranged behind the brake master cylinder unit and the dash panel, the panel-side support plate being parallelly fixed to the dash panel; a unit-side support plate arranged between the dash panel and the panel-side support plate, the unit-side support plate being fixed to the brake master cylinder unit; a first anti-vibration plate interposed between the panel-side support plate and the unit-side support plate; a second anti-vibration plate interposed between the unit-side support plate and the dash panel; and a third anti-vibration plate interposed between the dash panel and the brake master cylinder unit; wherein a rigidity of the second anti-vibration plate in a plate thickness direction is greater than any of rigidities of the first and the third anti-vibration plates in plate thickness directions. 4. The assembly of claim 3 wherein the panel-side support plate, the first anti-vibration plate, the unit-side support plate, the second anti-vibration plate, the dash panel, the third anti-vibration plate, and the brake master cylinder unit are stacked in this order from a rear side to a front side of the vehicle.
