  • Patent number: 11851109
    Abstract: A dashboard carrier for a motor vehicle with a first hollow carrier profile and a second hollow carrier profile. The two carrier profiles are aligned in the longitudinal extension of the dashboard carrier, arranged at a distance from one another, and connected to one another by a carrier connector spanning the distance between the two carrier profiles. The carrier connector connects the two carrier profiles to one another eccentrically and asymmetrically in relation to the longitudinal axis of the carrier profiles. The carrier connector has an attachment portion on each end side thereof and a carrier portion which connects the attachment portions. The carrier connector is connected, with its attachment portions, to a respective circumferential portion of the lateral surface of the two carrier profiles.

  • Patent number: 11505146
    Abstract: A bumper cross member designed as a hollow chamber profile for a motor vehicle having an upper component and a lower component joined to the upper component. Both components are each designed as a half shell having two legs spaced apart from one another and a web connecting the legs. An insert plate is joined to the legs of the half shells. The insert plate is arranged between the joints of the legs of the half shells facing toward one another and bridges the joint spacing between the legs of the two half shells.
