Abstract: A method for testing the spray jet of an assembly for spray applicators, includes the following method steps: The assembly to be tested is positioned in a receiving unit of a testing device and connected to a liquid reservoir. The assembly to be tested is tensioned and sucks in a specific volume of the test fluid from the liquid reservoir. The assembly to be tested is actuated, so that a spray jet is produced. The spray jet darkens a strip of light or a light beam of a light barrier. The darkening of the strip of light or the light beam is measured by means of a sensor unit and the measured values are registered as a function of time and evaluated. Based on the measured values determined, the start of the spray jet and/or the end of the spray jet and/or the duration of the spray jet is calculated.

Abstract: A device for molding a free end of a tube section has a supply unit, a transport unit, and a processing station. The processing station has a tool core, over which the free end of the tube section can be pushed. A molding tool can be positioned around the free end of the tube section, so that the outer contour of the free end can be deformed by the molding tool. The free end and/or the molding tool can be heated by a heating system. In a method, the free end of the tube section is initially introduced into a processing station. The free end is guided over a tool core. Subsequently, the free end and/or the molding tool of the processing station is heated and inserted via a linear movement further into the molding tool, thereby shaping am outer contour of the free end.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a reinforcing structure for reinforcing a side wall structure for a motor vehicle in the region of a door cutout, wherein the reinforcing structure is designed ring-shaped in order to surround a door cutout of a side wall structure. It is provided that the reinforcing structure is produced material-uniformly. The present disclosure furthermore relates to a semi-finished product for producing such a reinforcing structure and to a method for producing the reinforcing structure. The present disclosure also relates to a side wall structure and to a side wall for a motor vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle body and a cap are provided for closing off a hollow space formed by one or more structural components of a motor vehicle body with a carrier plate configured to the geometry of the hollow space, whose outer edge is provided with a thermally activatable sealant and/or adhesive and at least one function part is embedded in the carrier plate.

Abstract: An anchorage device for anchoring a portable seat is disclosed. The anchorage device includes a shackle with two legs and a mounting plate equipped with two sockets receiving end of the legs. The shackle and mounting plate are laser welded in such a manner that the legs of the shackle are directly connected to the mounting plate and lie at the most surface-flush with the bottom side of the mounting plate.

Abstract: A body component, in particular a B-pillar, of a motor vehicle and method for producing same is disclosed. The body component includes a basic element and a multi-layered reinforcement element with at least two reinforcement element layers. The method includes positioning a first reinforcement element layer on the basic element, positioning a further reinforcement element layer on a side of the first reinforcement element layer facing away from the basic element, and materially joined connecting of the first reinforcement element layer to the basic element and the further reinforcement element layer.

Abstract: A sill arrangement of a motor vehicle body is provided that has a sill outer plate, a sill inner plate, and a side wall outer plate, the sill inner plate and the sill outer plate being connected to one another with at least one flange extending essentially in the sill longitudinal direction, and the side wall outer plate fastened at least regionally on a lower side of the sill outer plate at a distance from the connecting flange.

Abstract: A sillboard arrangement of a motor vehicle body is provided with a sillboard outside panel, a sillboard inside panel and a lateral wall outside panel. The sillboard inside panel and sillboard outside panel are joined together by at least one connecting flange hat extends in the longitudinal direction of the sillboard, and the lateral wall outside panel is attached to a bottom side of the sillboard outside panel in an area spaced apart from the connecting flange. The lateral wall outside panel can have secured to it an end cap, which at an end lying in the longitudinal direction of the sillboard profile exhibits a floor section that is essentially indentation free in relation to the transverse direction of the vehicle and spaced apart in the vertical direction of the vehicle from a bottom side of the lateral wall outside panel.
