Abstract:
A method for the production of a connecting structure for a motor vehicle involves inserting two profile elements, connected to one another by a plastic joint element, into a tool and hardening in the tool. A fiber semi-finished product with respective receivers for corresponding connecting regions of the profile elements is produced. The connecting regions of the profile elements are connected to the respective receivers of the fiber semi-finished product. The plastic joint element is produced by injecting plastic in a transfer molding process into a forming region of the tool provided for this purpose.
Abstract:
A diagonal strut device (1) for reinforcing arrangement on an undercarriage of a motor vehicle. A plurality of struts (2) made from a fibre-reinforced plastic composite material extend away from a central joint element (3). Each strut (2) can be connected to the undercarriage via this from the end facing away from the central joint element (3). For this, a connecting joint element (4) is arranged on the end of each strut (2) facing away from the central joint element (3), wherein the central joint element (3) and the connecting joint elements (4) are formed from a light metal material. The central joint element (3) and the connecting joint elements (4) are then connected to the struts (2) by an at least positive connection. The central joint element (3) and the connecting joint elements (4) are each formed from several individual elements joined together.
Abstract:
A door pillar for a supporting frame structure of a vehicle body has an upper section which extends from a vehicle roof as far as a vehicle side edge, and a lower section which extends from the vehicle side edge in the direction of a vehicle floor. In order to improve the door pillar with regard to loading and weight, it has a pillar body which extends at least in the upper section and is made of iron or iron alloy, and a pillar base which is connected fixedly thereto, extends at least in the lower section, and is made of light metal or light metal alloy.

Abstract:
A container that can be locked and fastened to a vehicle with lockable fastening devices in a detachable manner, made of material impenetrable toward gaining unauthorized access to the contents, is designed in such a way that it can be carried as a bag in the detached state and stored on the vehicle side in the empty state in a space-saving and aesthetically appealing manner. For this purpose, the container is made of a collapsible material and designed like a bag.
Abstract:
A detachable closure includes separable burr-type elements which, at surfaces to be joined, have interlocking elements which mutually interlock during joining of the burr-type elements and hold the burr-type elements together. The interlocking elements are made of a material which carries out a deformation under the influence of heat, electromagnetic radiation, and/or a magnetic field.
Abstract:
A self-supporting structure for a motor vehicle with at least one transverse connection is provided. At least one transverse connection for stiffening the body structure is provided which is made in one piece from a dimensionally stable light weight metal or plastic foam and extends over the entire width of the body structure.
Abstract:
A method for producing a body-in-white of a passenger car is provided. A support structure assigned to the body-in-white of the motor vehicle and which includes at least one support part is produced. The support part of the support structure is, depending on a variant of the motor vehicle, at least in some regions provided with at least one reinforcing part.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a body for a motor vehicle, which comprises a support structure (10) having a roof module (42) which is placed onto a basic module (12), a roof column (50) extending between the roof (43) of the roof module (42) and the basic module (12), which roof column is to be fixed at its lower end (64) on the basic module (12) during assembly of the partial modules (12, 26, 42, 50, 52). In order to achieve a different modularization of the support structure (10) with an improved crash stability of the body, the roof column (50) is designed as a separate component which is to be fastened at its upper end (60) in an overlapping manner to a support part (62) protruding from the roof (43).
Abstract:
The support structure of a body for a motor, vehicle is assembled from large-size partial modules. Two partial modules connected to each other comprise support sections and wall and/or floor sections connected thereto. Support sections of one partial module are connected to associated support sections of the other partial module at abutment points. In order to design a highly stressed connection between partial modules of the support structure in a very stable and simple manner, the support sections of the two partial modules, which support sections are assigned in each case to one another, are assembled to form a continuous support. Abutting surfaces of the assembled support sections run obliquely with respect to the direction of extent of the support. This oblique profile of the abutting surfaces creates a connection over a very large area in relation to the cross section of the support, which ensures an extremely stable connection of the two parts to each other.
