Abstract: A bracket configured to be attached to the frame of an automobile that includes a shell defining a housing, and a reinforcement attached to the shell within the housing, for reinforcing the stiffness of the shell. The reinforcement includes at least one reinforcing member of the same material as the shell and connected to the shell by a film-type hinge enabling pivoting thereof between an extended position outside the shell for forming the entire integral bracket, and a reinforcing position in which the same is stowed inside the housing for stiffening the shell.
