  • Patent number: 6315347
    Abstract: A center console cross member in a vehicle is aligned in a forward structure at a level of an instrument panel in a transverse direction of the vehicle. The cross member is fastened by one end respectively on opposite vehicle body parts of the motor vehicle. The center console cross member includes a tube-shaped basic member, on which at least one holding element for mounting vehicle function elements, and lateral fastening consoles are mounted. For providing a center console cross member, which, while its construction is simple, can be used for several different vehicles of a vehicle family and by means of which large tolerances can be compensated, it is provided that, onto a basic member of a defined length, one or several holding elements and the two lateral fastening consoles can be slid and can be fixed in the intended position by clamping fastenings, the holding elements and the fastening consoles almost completely enclosing the basic member in areas.
