  • Patent number: 10012257
    Abstract: A component arrangement comprising a first component, a second component, at least one screw means and at least one blind rivet nut for insertion into a wall of the first component and for coupling to at least one second component is provided. The blind rivet nut has a rivet head, and the sum of a diameter of the rivet head and twice a spacing between the second component and rivet head corresponds to 0.7 to 1.2 times a diameter of a bead-like protuberance of the blind rivet nut, the second component, in the coupling region, being in contact with the first component only in sections, the second component having a spacing from a rivet head of the blind rivet nut within a plane which is parallel to a contact surface between rivet head and first component. The spacing is greater than a wall thickness of the first component.

  • Patent number: 8414041
    Abstract: An automobile bumper arrangement includes a crossbeam coupled to side rails of an automobile via crash boxes, wherein the crossbeam has extensions disposed at end sections which are laterally supported on a corresponding crash box. A modular bumper system has a crossbeam, an extension and a crash box coupled to a side rail of an automobile, wherein the crossbeam has a standardized length and a vehicle-specific width of a bumper can be attained by varying the length of the extension.
