3 Claims.
The invention relates to a vehicle body and particularly to a combined body and chassis construction. More specifically the invention refers to a construction in which the underframe is coordinated with the body superstructure to provide box section side sills which may extend from end to end of the combined structure. This application is a division of application Serial No. 75,375, filed April 20, 1936, on which Patent 2,188,267, Combined body and chassis underframe was issued on January 23, 1940, to the same applicants.
It is an object of the invention to simplify the construction of such structures and to lighten their weight without materially affecting their strength.
A further object of the invention is to provide a construction which permits the use of light gauge stock and to so arrange the joints enterng into the structure as to facilitate their attachment by spot welding.
Other and further objects and advantages and the manner in which they are attained will become'apparent from the following detailed description when read in connection with the drawin gs forming a part hereof.
In the drawings,
Fig. 1 represents in side elevation a sedan type of combined body and chassis structure in'accordance with the invention.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged detailed sectional view through the threshold substantially on the line indicated by the line 2--2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view on an enlarged scale taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1 and looking in the direction of the arrows.
Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view through a cross member taken substantially on the line 44 of Fig. 2.
Figs. 5 and 6 are sections corresponding to Figs. 2 and 3 showing a modified fcrm of the invention.
Figs. 7 and 8 are sectional views corresponding to Figs. 2 and 3 showing a further modification of the invention.
In a body according to the invention the sheetmetal body floor panel constitutes a main element of the combined under'frame structure and may extend from the extreme rear of the combined structure to the extreme front and from side to side of the structure. This floor panel is designated generally by the numeral 29 in Figs. 2, 3 and 4. At the front it may be cut away in the central region to accommodate the motor and at each side of this central opening it may be suitably reinforced by a marginal reinforce extending around theopening. Alternatively the floor panel may end at the front in the region of the cowl and suitable separate forward extensions for supporting the motor and the front wheel suspension may be provided, such extensions being secured to the reinforced box section side sills of the underframe rearwardly thereof by a telescoping or other suitable joint. The present invention is concerned more particularly with utilization of this floor panel to form box section elements of the combined body and chassis frame, and the sheet metal body side panel indicated generally by the numeral 33 and extending from extreme front to extreme rear of the structure cooperates with the floor panel in forming these box section structures. In this way the combined structure may be built up with the minimum number of parts and the marginal portions of the parts entering into the structure are so shaped as to facilitate their joinder by spot welding.
In the construction shown in Fig. 2, the floor plate designated generally by numeral 29 is formed with a deep vertical web 30 which in turn is formed with a horizontally extending bottom flange 3| terminating in a downwardly extending edge flange 32. The body side panel 33 is joined at the bottom to the flange 32 and at the top the threshold portion 34 terminates in an upwardly extending flange 35 which is joined to the top of the floor plate 29 by a longitudinally extending bridging strip closing the box and designated 36, this bridging strip being formed with an upwardly extending flange 31 overlapping and spot welded to the flange 35 of the outer body panel, its inner margin overlapping the top of the floor plate 29 and being spot welded thereto. In the wheel housing region where the outer panel 33 extends upwardly to form the upper part of the wheel housing, the flange 31 seats in an offset provided in the outer panel and is spot welded thereto in the offset. To space the top and bottom walls of the box in this region the outer panel 33 is offset slightly between the top bridging plate 36 and the bottom outwardly extending flange 3| of the floor plate as clearly appears in Fig. 3.
At suitable points the floor panel which itself forms a cross connection between the side sills is further reinforced by transverse members of channel section, as indicated at 38 and 39 which are preferably formed of upwardly facing channel members secured to the floor panel to form a strong box section transverse reinforce between the sills.
In the region of the thresholds as shown in Figs. 2 and 4, the upwardly facing channel cross To further strengthen the connection between these cross members and the side sills, the laterally extending flanges 20"and 2| are welded not merely to the single sheet of the floor panel but are extended underneath the inwardly extending double thickness of metal formed by the joinder between the bridging strip 36 and the floor plate 29 and spot welded to this double thickness extension from the innerside of the box section sills. To still further strengthen the joinder between the cross members and the side sillsthe side walls of the cross member 38 are laterally flanged at their ends as indicated at 22 and 23, see Figs. 2 and 4, and these lateral flanges overlap the vertical web 30 of the floor panel forming the inner wall of the box section and are secured thereto by spot welding. Similarly, an extension of the bottom wall of the channel 38 is extended and spot welded to the lower wall 3| of this box section side sill.
In the region of the wheel housing the cross member 39 forms in similar manner a box section cross member with the floor plate 29 and is secured to the box section side sill extending through. this region in substantially the same manner as in the form shown in Figs. 2 and 4.
In the modification shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the floor plate 40 is extended straight out to the body side panel 42 except for a slight upward offset in the region of the side sills and is flanged upwardly at its margin at 4| and secured to the body side panel indicated in these figures by numeral 42 in identically the manner in which the bridging strip 36 is secured to the side panel, in the modification of Figs. 2 and 3. The outer panel 42 in this case forms the outer wall of the box section sill in the same manner as in the iormshown in Figs. 2 and 3, but the'inner wall of the box section and at least part of the bottom wall of the box section are in this case formed by a separate sill element 45 of outwardly facing' channel section, the top wall of the channel overlapping the floor plate 40 in the offset and being secured thereto by spot welding while the bottom wall of the channel is flanged downwardly at 46 and secured through this flange to the lower margin of the body side panel 42 in the same marmer as that indicated in Figs. 2 and 3. The cross members 41 and 48 are again secured to the floor plate and to the box section side sills in substantially the same manner as that shown in the earlier figures.
In the modification shown in Figs. 7 and 8 the construction is very similar to that shown in Figs. 5 and 6 except-that a Z member 49 has been substituted for the channel member 45 and the outer margin of the floor plate 50 is offset downwardly to'form a'shoulder against which the top of the Z member may seat, the top arm SI of the Z member being secured to the floor plate as shownand the bottom arm 52 being flanged in its margin at 53 and secured to the outer panel designated 54. in identical the manner shown in Figs. 5 and 6.
The cross members 55 and 56 shown respectively in Figs. 7 and 8 are secured to the side sills again in substantially the manner shown in Figs. 2 to 6. However, where the lateral flanges from the side walls as I! overlap the double thickness of th metal of the flange II and the floor plate 50, they'are downwardlyoiiset as at 58.
In both these latter forms shown in Figs. 5, 6, 7 and 8 the floor plate combines with the outer side wall panel just as it does in the form shown in Figs. 2' and 3 to form elements of the box section underframe structure. It will be noted that in all embodiments a third member cooperates with the floor plate and the side panel to form the complete box section framework.
All of the modifications described lend themselves very readily to manufacture out of light gauge metal, although in some cases the separate side sill elements 45 and heavier gauge than the floor plating and the side paneling if desired for greater strength, and in all of these constructions use is made of both the sidepaneling and the floor plating to form elements of the box section side sill and cross member structures respectively, and the parts are so formed as to facilitategtheir Joinder by simple spot welding operations. Other modifications of the invention may occur to those skilled in the art, and it is desired in the following claims to include such modifications withinthe purview thereof.
The specific construction of the side sills illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 forms the subject matter of applicants application Serial No. 519,422, Combined body and chassis structure, filed January 24, 1944, as a division of the present application.
