Patent number: 9481400Abstract: The floor of a vehicle has two planar extruded profiles, located one on top of the other and having opposing T-shaped ribs rotated through 90 degrees with respect to one another. T-shaped recesses are introduced into ribs of one profile, and crosspieces on T-shaped ribs of the opposite extruded profile engaging in an interlocking manner. The extruded profiles are pushed into one another for connection, and a foam is introduced beforehand into the cavities between the ribs. The foam is foamed up so that the two extruded profiles are connected in an adhesively bonded manner.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2015Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c. F.

Patent number: 8366185Abstract: A reinforcing element has a dual-chamber profile produced by a rolling method to define an outer profile part supported with respect to an inner profile part. The two profile parts have a common wall as a straight web to which legs, offset in the same vertical plane, of the outer and inner profile parts adjoin. Reinforcing tubes are provided transversely with respect to the profile parts of the reinforcing element and are connected firmly to the profile parts. The reinforcing tubes preferably are directed toward seat crossmembers of the vehicle floor to improve side crash behavior.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Dr. Ing.

Publication number: 20080267730Abstract: A screw connection fastens a first construction part to a second construction part. The first construction part has a first passage opening and the second construction part has a second passage opening set up in aligned fashion. A sleeve is attached to the second construction part, which has a sleeve opening disposed in an aligned fashion to the second passage opening, and which is supported axially with one end on the opening edge of the second construction. In addition, a screw going through both passage openings goes through the sleeve opening, and attaches the first construction part to the second construction part. A simplified construction results for the screw connection when the sleeve is attached screw tight to the second construction part, and the sleeve opening has a thread into which the screw is screwed to attach the first construction part to the second construction part.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2008Publication date: October 30, 2008Applicant: DR.
