20130015012 | CHASSIS FOR AN ELECTRIC VEHICLEAANM WU; DONALD P.H.AACI Hsinchu CountyAACO TWAAGP WU; DONALD P.H. Hsinchu County TW - A chassis for an electric vehicle comprises: a base frame, a front frame, a rear frame, two side frames, four suspension devices and four wheels. The front frame and the rear frame have the front arc-shaped tube and the arc-shaped rear tube fixed to the base frame, the arc-shaped tubes can not only reduce the number of tubes required but also increase the area of thrust force as compared to the straight tubes. Besides, the arc of the arc-shaped tubes avoids a connection point of an acute angle, thus preventing stress concentration while improving the structural strength of the chassis. Further, the arc-shaped front tube, the arc-shaped rear tube, the front connecting tube and the rear connecting tube are hollow, which contributes to light weight of the chassis. | 01-17-2013 |

20160046336 | Kit for Building a Vehicle - Current systems of distributing vehicles are inefficient, particularly in developing nations. To resolve this, we provide a kit for constructing a commercial vehicle supplied ex-works as a flat-pack package using the vehicle chassis as a pallet. Thus, the kit may include a chassis, an engine attachable to the chassis, located within and supported by the chassis, and a plurality of upright chassis members attachable to the chassis thereby to define at least a cabin, placed flat over the chassis. The elements making up the kit can be restrained in place, such as by wrapping or tying with suitable film, bands or cords. Body panels attachable to the chassis uprights can be supplied, placed flat over the chassis. Brake line, a wiring loom and major drivetrain items such as the engine, differential and propshaft may be pre-attached to the chassis in their final locations before shipping the kit. In this way, the complete kit can be prepared at a suitable factory and shipped as a “flat-pack” item. Very little packaging will be needed as the chassis itself can act as a pallet for the remaining items, providing the necessary rigid support to allow handling of the kit. The resulting item will have a footprint similar to that of the final vehicle, but a height which may be one third or one quarter. Together with suitable spacers, several such kits could be packed for transport in a single vehicle or container. | 02-18-2016 |
