Abstract: A lightweight door for vehicles comprises a door box having a top portion delimited by inner and outer window gutter profiles. A lightweight window frame is coupled to the door box and is formed of light metal or light metal alloy. The window frame is formed from an extruded bent profile that has a closed hollow chamber and at least one mounting formation. The mounting formation may include a mounting groove or a clip-on strip. The mounting formation continuously follows a length of the profile and is for receiving at least one add-on component. A plastic molded panel module is coupled to the frame. The module has a support surface and outer panels formed as a single piece along the frame adjacent a roof rail and a B-pillar of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lightweight door for motor vehicles, comprising a door box (1) which towards the top towards the window area is delimited by inner and outer window gutter profiles (3; 4); and comprising a window frame (5) made from light metal/light metal alloys, in particular aluminium/aluminium alloys; with said window frame (5) encompassing the window area, being permanently connected, in particular welded, to the door box (1), in particular to the inner window gutter profile (3), wherein said window frame (5) is made from an extruded and bent light metal profile, in particular a light metal profile bent by stretching and rolling.

Abstract: A motor vehicle door having a door frame (2; 2') and a covering (3; 3'; 3"; 36) attached to the outer side of the door frame. To accomplish that the outer covering (3; 3'; 3"; 36) of the vehicle door can be mounted on the door frame (2, 2') easily, quickly and economically and that it can be replaced in a simple manner, the covering (3; 3'; 3"; 36) is positioned on the door frame via a horizontal sliding movement. For this purpose, the door frame (2, 2') is respectively provided with a respective horizontal guide rail (9, 13) on its side facing the top and bottom edge region (6, 11; 11') of the covering (3; 3'; 3"; 36) into which guide rail the bent-back portions (8, 12) of the corresponding U-shaped edge regions (6, 11) of the covering (3; 3'; 3"; 36) are engaged.

Abstract: A vehicle door, which can be attached with hinges to a motor vehicle, wherein the vehicle door (1; 33) has an inside wall (8), an outside wall and window channel profiles (2; 18; 28) and wherein a triangular mirror bracket (3; 13; 25; 34) is provided above the outside wall for mounting the outside mirror (4). In order that the triangular mirror bracket (3; 13; 25; 34) can be installed quickly and easily in the vehicle door (1) and can be replaced easily during subsequent repairs, the triangular mirror bracket (3; 13; 25; 34) is provided on its underside (5; 16) with a pin (6; 17; 26), which is inserted into a recess (7; 21; 27) of a bearing structural component (22; 28) of the door (1) to mount the triangular mirror bracket (3; 13; 25; 34) to the vehicle door (1; 33).

Abstract: A collision damping arrangement for absorbing energy in a possible head-on and/or rear end collision of a motor vehicle, having respectively a bumper-side cross member (1; 18) and longitudinal members (4, 5; 19) which are arranged on the cross member and which are also connected to the corresponding passenger compartment, with at least one collision damper (2, 3; 15, 16; 17) being arranged on a respective longitudinal member (4, 5; 19). In order to permit the collision damper (2, 3; 15, 16; 17) to be produced in a straightforward manner and at reasonable cost, and a precise matching of a predeterminable collision behavior of the vehicle in a simple manner, the collision damper (2, 3; 15, 16; 17) is comprised of an extruded section whose profile extends transversely to the longitudinal axis (6) of the longitudinal member (4, 5; 19) for the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A motor vehicle door of the type having a door hollow (4) disposed between an inside wall and an outside wall (2, 3), electrical lines (11; 13; 15; 17), linkages (21) and/or Bowden cables (22) (altogether identified as supply lines below) being arranged in and with the door hollow. To accomplish that a forcible opening of the door from the outside by inserting tools, etc. into the door hollow is almost impossible, the supply lines (11; 13; 15; 17; 21; 22) are arranged on or in a support element (6; 20; 23) such that they are at least partially covered toward the outside wall (3) of the vehicle door (1; 100).
