  • Body structure for motor vehicles, especially passenger motor vehicles
    Patent number: 4613184
    Abstract: A body structure for a passenger motor vehicle includes an end unit provided with a support system formed by transverse and longitudinal supports; the support system is retained at a boundary wall of a passenger cell by a mounting arrangement including detachable elements. In order to achieve a good force translation from the end unit to the passenger cell and in order to be able to carry out a rapid and cost-favorable repair of the end unit in case of an accidental impact, several mounting devices for an upper longitudinal support and a lower longitudinal support of the support system are provided at the boundary wall, whereby the longitudinal supports of the support system are received by further supports so as to generally form a continuation of the support structure of the passenger cell.
