Abstract

A roof structure corner connector is disclosed. A vehicle body includes a longitudinal roof spine and a plurality of roof rails extending transversely from the roof spine to a plurality of pillars extending upwardly from a lower body structure. The roof rail and the pillars are connected by corner connectors that include male ends that are received in openings defined at the outer ends of the roof rail. The opening is defined in the bottom wall of the outer end of the roof rail and is assembled on and supported by the insertion end. An opening in the bottom wall of the roof rail is defined between the two side walls.

Description

Technical field [0001] This disclosure relates to the roof beam (bow) connected to the body of the column (pillar) of the corner connector (cornerconnecter). Background [0002] Motor vehicles have a passenger compartment covered by a roof, the roof is supported on a plurality of columns, the plurality of columns are separated by windows and doors. Traditional vehicle designs typically include roof lintels that extend above windows and doors. The roof longitudinal girders on the right and left sides of the roof are connected by beams that extend between the right roof longitudinal and left roof longitudinal beams. Roof panels are supported by roof longitudinal and beams. [0003] One problem with traditional roof design is that it is difficult to place open windows or sunroofs in the roof to meet all crash testing and roof pressure requirements. In general, the degree of opening in the roof must be limited to meet the strength requirements of the roof longitudinal beams and roof...
