Title:

MODULAR PROCESS TO MANUFACTURE AND ASSEMBLE AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLE STRUCTURE, FOR PASSENGER AND LOAD TRANSPORTATION, AND RESULTING BODY AND CHASSIS

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2006076784

Kind Code:

A8

Abstract:

The present invention relates to the development of a modular process to manufacture and assemble an automotive vehicle structure, for passenger and load transportation, and resulting vehicle. The new conception for bodies construction, comprising a modular structure on an automotive vehicle chassis, with an assembly process allowing automatic manufacturing of bodies, by means of a panel-joining procedure, using the fewest number of components possible. The novel manufacturing and assembly process for automotive vehicle structure is able to allow a dynamic manufacturing process, not requiring welding, with the whole structure being modular. The resulting body has a modular structure comprising a front module (1), sides (2) and (21), ceiling (4), rear module (3), chassis (5), lower skirt (22), floor (27) and windows (28), joint by means of screws, rivets or a gluing process, as well as by metallic profiles (26), provided with rim (9), side rim (32), rail (23) and lower rim (36), by curve profile (19), which is provided with fitting areas (12), structural components (20) and curve structural elements (21) and structural components (35) and (34). The present descriptive report relates to a peculiar and original productive process for manufacturing and modular assembly of automotive vehicle structure, for passenger and load transportation, establishing a new conception for constructing bodies, using the least number of components possible.
