Cowl cross bar for vehicle
View Patent ↗A cowl cross bar for a vehicle comprising a main cross bar disposed in front of a driver's seat in a transverse direction of the vehicle, a sub-cross bar disposed in front of a passenger seat in the transverse direction of the vehicle, and a center supporter configured to couple the main cross bar and the sub-cross bar to each other such that diametric centers thereof are disposed eccentrically relative to each other, the center supporter may include a main center support bracket provided with a connector to which a longitudinal end of the sub-cross bar is fixed, and a sub-center support bracket fixed to the main center support bracket, and having an insert hole through which a longitudinal end of the main cross bar is fixed to the sub-center support bracket.
1. A cowl cross bar for a vehicle comprising a main cross bar disposed in front of a driver's seat in a transverse direction of the vehicle, a sub-cross bar disposed in front of a passenger seat in the transverse direction of the vehicle, and a center supporter configured to couple the main cross bar and the sub-cross bar to each other such that diametric centers of the main cross bar and the sub-cross bar are disposed eccentrically relative to each other, the center supporter comprising:
a main center support bracket provided with a connector to which a longitudinal end of the sub-cross bar is fixed; and
a sub-center support bracket fixed to the main center support bracket, and having an insert hole through which a longitudinal end of the main cross bar is fixed to the sub-center support bracket,
wherein the main cross bar and the sub-cross bar are disposed such that a sum of a radius of the main cross bar and a radius of the sub-cross bar is greater than a distance between the diametric center of the main cross bar and the diametric center of the sub-cross bar, and
wherein the connector protrudes in a shape in which a diameter of the connector is gradually reduced in a protruding direction of the connector from the main center support bracket, the longitudinal end of the sub-cross bar has a shape in which a diameter of the longitudinal end is gradually increased toward a distal end of the sub-cross bar in a longitudinal direction of the sub-cross bar, and the connector is inserted into and fixed to the longitudinal end of the sub-cross bar.
2. The cowl cross bar for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the connector protrudes in a conical shape from the main center support bracket, and the longitudinal end of the sub-cross bar has an expanded pipe shape.
3. The cowl cross bar for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein a bonding flange is provided around the insert hole, and the longitudinal end of the main cross bar that is inserted into the insert hole is enclosed by and fixed to the bonding flange.
4. The cowl cross bar for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein an edge of the main center support bracket is fixed to a sub flange of the sub-center support bracket, and the connector and the insert hole are disposed to be stepped from each other.
