Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A sub frame structure of a vehicle comprises a pair of right-and-left side members extending in a vehicle longitudinal direction, to which a pair of right-and-left upper-side lower arm supporting rear wheels are pivotally connected, a rear cross member holding the vicinity of rear ends of the side members, and a front cross member interconnecting the side members in a vehicle width direction and being positioned in front of the rear cross member, being spaced apart from the rear cross member. The side member includes a front support bracket and a rear member holding member to which a front connection portion and a rear connection portion of the upper-side lower arm are connected, and a displacement portion to cause the rear member holding member to be displaced forward is provided between the front support bracket and the rear member holding member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A sub frame structure of a vehicle which is rigidly connected to a vehicle body, comprising: a pair of right-and-left side members extending in a vehicle longitudinal direction, to which a pair of right-and-left arm members supporting right-and-left rear wheels are pivotally connected; and a rear cross member holding the vicinity of respective rear ends of the pair of right-and-left side members; and a front cross member interconnecting the pair of right-and-left side members in a vehicle width direction and being positioned in front of the rear cross member, being spaced apart from the rear cross member, wherein each of said side members includes plural arm connection portions which are arranged along the vehicle longitudinal direction such that a rear side thereof is positioned at a lower level than a front side thereof and to which plural end portions of each of said arm members are connected, said plural arm connection portions comprises a front arm connection portion which is located foremost and a rear arm connection portion which is located rearmost, and a displacement portion to cause the rear arm connection portion to be displaced forward is provided between the front arm connection portion and the rear arm connection portion. 2 . The sub frame structure of the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein said displacement portion is a weak portion which is provided at a position of the side member which is located near said rear arm connection portion and configured to be weaker than a portion of said side member which is located near said front arm connection portion. 3 . The sub frame structure of the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein said displacement portion is a bending portion which is provided at a position of the side member which is located in back of said front arm connection portion and configured to bend downward and then rearward. 4 . The sub frame structure of the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein said displacement portion comprises a weak portion which is provided at a position of the side member which is located near said rear arm connection portion and configured to be weaker than a portion of said side member which is located near said front arm connection portion and a bending portion which is provided at a position of the side member which is located in back of said front arm connection portion and configured to bend downward and then rearward.
