  • Patent number: 10864870
    Abstract: A bumper cross beam connects to a body of a motor vehicle, in particular connects directly or indirectly to a left longitudinal beam and a right longitudinal beam. The bumper cross beam has a hollow profile base carrier which is reinforced on the front exterior in the travel direction by a front U-profile carrier element. A non-free limb of the front U-profile carrier element is spaced apart from a front side of the hollow profile base carrier.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 27, 2019
    Date of Patent: December 15, 2020
    Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft

  • Patent number: 10286956
    Abstract: An impact protection element for a vehicle is disclosed. The impact protection element includes a side sill composed of fiber-reinforced plastic, where the side sill is formed as a hollow profiled element and includes an outer wall element, which forms an impact surface, and an inner wall element, which lies opposite the outer wall element and can be connected to a vehicle structure. A reinforcing element composed of fiber-reinforced plastic is disposed in the side sill and includes at least one flat connecting surface which connects the outer wall element to the inner wall element and is oriented substantially parallel to the XY plane of the vehicle.
