Abstract
A vehicle support structure including a vehicle floor, a vehicle frame and a restraining member. The vehicle floor includes a structural member rigidly attached to a lower surface of the vehicle floor. The vehicle frame is attached to the vehicle floor and includes a frame member that extends adjacent to and spaced apart from the structural member. The restraining member has a first end section attached to a first side of the structural member, a second end section attached to a second side of the structural member, and a restraining section extending from the first end section to the second end section. The restraining member at least partially encircles the frame member and is spaced apart from the frame member with a limited range of non-contacting movement between the restraining member and the frame member.
