| 61 | Narrow body ultra efficient three wheeled electric vehicle with automotive class feel | US13204364 | 2011-08-05 | US08985255B2 | 2015-03-24 | Mark Douglas Frohnmayer; Thomas Hynes Mohler; Christopher George Angot; James K. Jordan; Landon Chappell; Ames Jacoby; Larry William Milligan |
| A three wheel electric vehicle platform with two wheels in front and one wheel at the rear, a full safety roll cage, a propulsion and steering system operating through the two front wheels, and operator's and passenger's seats mounted in-line along the vehicle centerline. The propulsion system is an electric motor powered by an energy storage device driving a speed reduction and differential with dual outputs suitable for two wheel front drive. The operator's seat is narrower in parts than a conventional automotive seat such that the rear seat passenger's knees can comfortably straddle the operator seat to allow the distance between the two occupants to be less than a typical automobile. The driver's and passenger's heels comfortably fit into recessed wells within the energy storage device, thus allowing the driver's and passenger's center of gravity to be lower, while still maintaining a comfortable sitting position. | ||||||

| A structural joint is formed between the upper frame rail, which bends downwardly to define a generally vertically extending portion, and a generally fore-and-aft extending lower frame rail that can be tuned to manage the flow of crash energy during an impact situation. The upper frame rail is formed as a conventional four-sided tube, but is reformed at the intersection with the lower frame rail into a multiple-sided configuration that defines a mating surface for connection to the lower frame rail. The size of the mating surface has a fore-and-aft width dimension of between 20 and 40 millimeters and can be tuned to selectively control the management of crash forces encountered during an impact. The welded connection between the upper and lower frame rails forming this structural joint provides adequate stiffness and rigidity for the function of an automotive frame, yet presents a reduced shear strength in the fore-and-aft direction. | ||||||

| A method for producing an elongate hollow member that includes a laterally protruding mounting component, the mounting component is formed from the hollow member. For this purpose the latter, at a point about a horizontal axis intersecting the central longitudinal axis of the hollow component at an angle of approximately 45°, is bent upwards or downwards at an angle of approximately 90°, such that the bent section projects transversely in relation to the longitudinal extent of the remainder of the component. The lateral projection of the bent section is then angled at an offset height in relation to the remainder of the component to form the mounting component. | ||||||

| There is provided a remotely constructible, three dimensional space frame for a motor vehicle which comprises a plurality of elongated, metal structural members with outer surfaces and having axially uniform cross sections and a plurality of thin walled, interconnecting metal castings of at least first and second types. These metal castings each have (a) a saddle portion with a contour matching a portion of the cross section for one of the structural members and are laterally engageable with that one structure for axial movement of the casting along the structure and (b) a receptacle with an elongated tubular portion having a cross section matching the cross section of another structural member and intersecting with the saddle portion of the casting at a given angle so that the thin walled metal casting can be moved axially along one of the structural members and will receive a second structural member by movement of that second member into the casting. The two structural members are held with respect to each other at a given angle. The saddle portion and tubular portion of the many castings each have outer peripheral edges lying along the outer surface of the two structural members. A welded bead is deposited along these peripheral edges of the two casting portions and between the edges and the two structural members. In this fashion, the thin walled metal casing provides a variable junction for use with the structural members at a given joint necessary to construct the three dimensional space frame of a motor vehicle. The metal castings used in this space frame have a uniform wall thickness and are formed by a unique metal casting process wherein molten metal is drawn into a cavity of a rigid, self supporting, gas permeable low temperature bonded, sand grain mold by a vacuum applied through the sand mold while the mold is partially submerged in a bath of the molten metal. | ||||||
