Abstract: The invention relates to a jack bracket (12) for a motor vehicle, which is fixed to a sill of the motor vehicle with flanges and an opening (16) for a receiving element in which the jack is placed. The invention also relates to a method for the production of said bracket (12). In order to simplify the production and configuration of the bracket (12) without comprising its stability, the bracket (12) is comprised of a tubular hollow profile (6) and a lid (13), which is fixed on the end (10) opposite the sill of the hollow profile (6) covering said end (10) and which has the opening (16) for the receiving element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a hollow profiled section (7) with bulges (37) which is provided with an end-side closure cover (7), and to a jack bracket (32) produced by means of this process. To allow simple production of an expanded hollow profiled section (6) provided with a closure cover (7) and to demonstrate a jack bracket (32) produced by this process which entails only a low level of manufacturing outlay yet nevertheless ensures a high ability to withstand mechanical stresses, it is proposed that a cup-like cover (7) be pushed into the hollow profiled section (6), with the hollow profiled section (6) being placed into a hydroforming die (1). After the latter has then been closed, an axial ram (8) is introduced into the cover (7) and into the end of the hollow profiled section, in such a manner that the rim side of the cover (7) is radially pressed to the surrounding hollow profiled section (6). The hollow profiled section (6) is then widened by means of hydroforming pressure.
