Abstract
A vehicle includes a transformable body having at least two configurations. The first body configuration resembles a fastback-style vehicle. The second body configuration resembles a wagon-style vehicle that includes a fully enclosed passenger space and cargo area. The third body configuration resembles a pickup truck that includes a fully enclosed passenger space and an open cargo area. The aerodynamic fastback body configuration reduces vehicle wind resistance, thus increasing fuel efficiency. In wagon configuration, the rear section assembly can be elevated to increase both passenger and cargo space. For hauling oversized cargo, the rear section assembly can be transformed to resembles an open cargo area of a truck.
Description
An aerodynamic fastback vehicle reduces wind
resistance, thus increasing fuel efficiency. But, a vehicle with better
aerodynamic also comes with less rear passenger space. This invention address
the problem by having a transformable rear section, which can be adjusted by
the user to either increase the rear passenger head room and cargo space, or to
haul oversized cargo that require an open cargo area.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a vehicle
according to a preferred embodiment of the invention in wagon
configuration;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the the vehicle
shown in FIG. 1, in transitional state between wagon and fastback
configurations;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the the vehicle
shown in FIG. 1, in fastback configuration;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the the vehicle
shown in FIG. 1, in transitional state between fastback and truck
configurations;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the the vehicle
shown in FIG. 1, in truck configuration;
FIG. 6 is a side view of a vehicle in accordance
with the present invention ;
FIG. 7 is a back view of the vehicle in fastback
configuration with two different positions of the C-pillars;
FIG. 8 is a back view of the vehicle in wagon
configuration with vertical C-pillars as shown in FIG. 7;
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the vehicle
shown in FIG. 8.
FIG. 6 shows a vehicle (18) having a
flexible passenger vehicle body (16) in accordance with the present
invention. The vehicle body (16) includes a fastback style body shell
(12).
The body shell (12) has a rear opening
(98)(FIG. 5) in front of a tailgate (50), and a set of
door panels (90) closing door openings (92). The body shell
(12) shown in FIG. 6, represents one of many different body
shells that can be used with the present invention. For example, the location
and number of pillars , the number of doors and other structures may be
different for different body shells.
The vehicle body (16) is capable of three
different body configurations. The basic fastback configuration is shown in
FIG. 6 and FIG. 3. From this body configuration the vehicle can
be transformed into a wagon configuration as shown in FIG. 1, and a
pickup truck configuration as shown in FIG. 5.
when the vehicle is in fastback body configuration as
shown in FIG. 3, a generally rectangular rear center window assembly
(22) connected to a fixed roof (99) with hinges (10) is
positioned in contact with the top of a tailgate (50), and a pair of
opposing triangular panels (30) also positioned at a similar angle,
collectively enclosing the body shell's rear opening (98), thus forming
a smooth sloping fastback.
FIG. 2 shows the vehicle body in transition
between a wagon configuration and a fastback configuration. The rear center
window assembly (22) pivoted up to near horizontal position, becomes the
rear extension of the wagon's roof .
The tailgate window (51) raised up to be in
contact with the rear center window assembly (22), along with the
tailgate (50) defining the rear end of the wagon.
A pair of opposing retractable rear side windows
(40) raised up fully, and the triangular panels (30) supported by
a strut (70) positioned at an angle similar to the rear side windows
(40), collectively forming portion of smooth rear side surfaces of the
wagon.
FIG. 4 shows the transition between a fastback
configuration and a truck configuration (FIG. 5). To begin the
transition, the tailgate (50) will open up just enough for the pair of
triangular panels (30) to be folded down to the inside of the rear
opening.
The rear center window assembly (22) is
comprised of a forward part (20) and a rearward part (21).
The rear center window assembly (22) is pivoted
down, while the rearward part (21) is detached from the forward part
(20), until both parts reach a near vertical position, and form the
center portion of the partition, which separates an enclosed passenger space
from an open cargo area. The two parts (20, 21) that compose the
rear center window assembly (22) can be either fully separated, or still
connected with linkages.
FIG. 5 shows a pair of opposing side partition
panels comprised of main panels (60) and sub panels (61), hinged
from inside of the body shell, opened up to meet the sides of the rear center
window assembly (22), collectively they form a fully water-tight
partition. The hinges (62) in this example represents one of many
different locations that can be used with the present invention. For example,
the location can be on the the truck bed, or on the rear center window assembly
(22), and the sub panels (61) can be retractable or fixed.
FIG. 1~FIG. 5 show a preferred
embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is characterized by a
trapezoid-shaped rear opening in front of the tailgate (50). FIG.
7 shows the differences in back view, between two types of rear openings,
when the vehicle is in fastback configuration.
On the left, is a body shell with a trapezoid-shaped
rear opening as described above, which has the triangular panel (30) in
between the rear center window assembly (22) and an angled C-pillar
(88a).
While on the right, is a body shell with a generally
rectangular rear opening, that has only the rear center window assembly
(22) and a near vertical C-pillar (88b).
FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 show the back view and
perspective view of a vehicle in wagon configuration in accordance with the
present invention, with another type of C-pillars (88b) as shown on the
right side of FIG. 7. The lower portions have to be moved outward, to
form a more natural looking tapered side surfaces, otherwise these surfaces
will be flat and vertical.
In the real world, a product has to be compromised
between functionality and simplicity. With this present invention, a vehicle
can be transformed between three configurations, or only two configurations,
i.e. from a fastback configuration into a wagon configuration, or from a
fastback configuration into a truck configuration. While considering a
fastback/truck design, the rectangular rear opening is preferred, because it
will need less parts than the vehicle shown in FIG. 5. The pair of
triangular panels (30) will not be needed, and the side partition panels
(60) and (61) can be made in one piece, and hinged at the rear
center window assembly (22). Also the retractable tailgate window
(51) (FIG. 2), and the retractable rear side windows (40)
(FIG. 2) can be eliminated, too.
For the same reason, a fastback/wagon transformable
design can have one piece rear center window assembly (22), instead of
the two-piece parts (20, 21) as shown in FIG. 2.
Although the present invention has been described in
connection with particular embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that
various modifications, alterations, and adaptations may be made by those
skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention
set forth in the following claims.
