Abstract:
The invention relates to a run-flat support body for run-flat vehicle wheels. Said support body is typically embodied as a shell-shaped, metallic annular body (3) having an undulated supporting annular surface. The invention relates to a simple, effective method for producing one such annular body (3), according to which a rectangular blank (6) which is cut out of a strip of sheet metal is bent along the longitudinal side to form a ring and the open ends of the ring are interconnected by a material connection. The annular blank (7) thus produced is provided with the desired profile according to the pressure-rolling method, is provided with connecting elements (9), and cut open between the same.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a motor vehicle door hinge for the pivotal fitting of a vehicle door to a vehicle body, including a door member adapted to be fitted to the vehicle door and a pillar member adapted to be fitted to the vehicle body, these being pivotally interconnected. The invention further relates to a set of components for motor vehicle door hinges including a door member and a pillar member for the pivotal fitting of a vehicle door to a vehicle body. In order to provide a motor vehicle door hinge which can be manufactured particularly cost-effectively and furthermore to provide a set of components for the manufacture of a motor vehicle door hinge, the components of which permit the manufacture of at least two hinges which can be employed on a vehicle, provision is made in the case of the motor vehicle door hinge, that the pillar member and/or the door member are formed from at least two components, i.e. a base plate fittable on the vehicle side and a support arm fittable to the base plate. Regarding the set of components the arrangement provides that the set includes a base plate, fittable to the vehicle door and/or the vehicle body, and a support arm fittable to the base plate, the base plate and the support arm being adapted for the production of a door member and/or pillar member employable in at least two positions of a vehicle and the base plate and the support arm being pre-manufactured.
