  • Structural component for a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 10926808
    Abstract: A structural component for a motor vehicle is provided. The structural component includes a closed hollow profile including fiber composite material, with a profile outer casing surrounding a profile volume. The structural component also includes at least one reinforcing bulkhead which is arranged in the profile volume on at least one section of an inner casing surface of the profile outer casing. The height of the at least one reinforcing bulkhead, perpendicularly from the inner casing surface, in at least one position in which the at least one reinforcing bulkhead is arranged on the inner casing surface, is lower than a passage height of the profile volume in this position.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for the production of a longitudinal connection for wooden components and corresponding wooden component
    Patent number: 9181701
    Abstract: A longitudinal connection is formed for wooden components and a corresponding wooden component. A fitting piece is glued in a recess to the outer or bottom sides of the at least two glued laminated girders to be connected in such a way that a scarf joint is created at least in a partial length of the fitting piece between the fitting piece and the respective glued laminated girder originating from the tapered and transition regions of the fitting piece in the direction of the end of the associated glued laminated girder.
