Abstract:
Kraftfahrzeug mit einer eine Bodenstruktur (100) aufweisenden Karosserie, und wenigstens einem Versteifungselement (110) zum Versteifen der Bodenstruktur (100) , dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Versteifungselement (100) wellenförmig ausgebildet ist, wobei die Wellen (111, 111') quer zur Fahrzeuglangsachse verlaufen.
Abstract:
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Tragrahmenstruktur für eine selbsttragende Rohbaukarosserie eines Kraftfahrzeugs, insbesondere eines Personenkraftwagens, mit wenigstens einem als dünnwandiges Stahlgussteil ausgebildeten Karosseriebauteil. Um die Vorteile einer derartigen Bauweise besser ausnutzen zu können, wird vorgeschlagen, dass das wenigstens eine Karosseriebauteil eine Komponente (2; 4) einer Bodenbaugruppe (1) der Tragrahmenstruktur ist.
Abstract:
A motor vehicle comprises - a pre-assembled front module (1) including a support structure (2); a propulsion unit (14); a steerable front wheel assembly (17); - an intermediate support structure (20) for housing and supporting a windscreen; - a planar load-bearing floor structure (30); - a pre-assembled intermediate module (40) including a firewall (41), instrument panel (42), steering column (43, 44) and a control pedal assembly (45); - a rear pre-assembled module (50) including a support frame (51), at least one pair of rear wheels (55); - an annular rear structure (60); and - two side structures (70).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a welded joint between an aluminium bearer (1) and a component (2) connected to it, especially between two largely mutually perpendicular extruded aluminium sections on a vehicle. According to the invention, the aluminium bearer (1) is placed on the component (2) without a surrounding weld seam transversely to the section outline. In addition, a connecting member (7) is used which is supported on one side on the component (2) and is joined thereto by at least one weld seam (8) and on the other side by the aluminium bearer (1) and joined there by at least one second weld seam (9, 10), the second weld seam (9, 10) lying longitudinally to the outline of the section of the aluminium bearer (1). This ensures that there are no surrounding weak points with a great drop in strength on the aluminium bearer (1) caused by the welding process, so that the welded joints of the invention withstand heavy loads. A preferred application concerns the joint between the B post and the sill in motor vehicle bodywork.
Abstract:
Device preferably superficially situated hollow beams (11), e.g. sill beams, contained in a car body (10). The beams are in transverse direction stiffened by means of cross frames (14). The cross frame (14) is constituted by a tubular member (24) arranged transversely to the length axis, which at one end is provided with to this at least partially formed side flanges (30), which are firmly attached to the beam. The length of the tubular member (24) is at least slightly shorter than the distance between the opposite longitudinal sides forming a free space between the other end of the tubular member and one of the longitudinal sides of the beam.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a system composed of a sill panel and a fastening clip for fastening the sill panel to a body part of a vehicle, wherein the sill panel has a latching hook, and wherein the fastening clip has a latching receptacle for receiving the latching hook and holding means for retention on the body part, wherein the latching receptacle also has an elastic holding arm (48) which, with the latching hook of the sill panel received in the latching receptacle, exerts, on account of its spring preloading, a holding force on the latching hook which counteracts a release of the sill panel from the fastening clip, wherein, for demounting purposes, the sill panel can be released from the fastening clip by exerting a tensile force which counteracts the holding force of the elastic holding arm.
Abstract:
A vehicle frame construction and method includes an elongated hollow frame member having a plurality of interior sides and a reinforcement member. The reinforcement member is formed from a thermoplastic polymer and is installed so as to be arranged within the elongated hollow frame member to reinforce each interior side of the elongated hollow frame member in a plane orthogonally oriented relative to a longitudinal axis of the elongated hollow frame member.
