Abstract: The invention concerns a stress-bearing structure of a motor-vehicle body made with hollow section beams, having at least at one structural member junction point (1) at which a first hollow section beam (2) is joined with a second hollow section beam (3) and a third hollow section beam (4), which are opposite each other on either side of the first hollow section beam. The second and third hollow section beams (3, 4) are attached to the respective opposite sides of the first hollow section beam (2) by a butt joint. The junction point (1) is reinforced by a junction point reinforcement element in the form of a hollow section extrusion (6). In accordance with the invention, a hollow section extrusion (6) is positioned beneath the structural-member junction point (1) on the inside of the vehicle body and fixed in place. The longitudinal axis of the hollow section extrusion (6) runs in the same direction as the longitudinal axis of the first hollow section beam (2).

Abstract: A rear support structure for the coachwork of a passenger vehicle having closed loop interconnected frame members including a longitudinally extending bottom sill connected at its rearward portion to the forward portion of a rear wheel housing carrier member. The rearward portion of the rear wheel housing carrier member is connected to at least one roof support post which in turn is connected to the roof structure. The connection of the sill to the rear wheel housing carrier member is at a low angle, providing resistance to mechanical fatigue due to flexing and vibration, while at the same time providing a rear passenger door cutout of sufficient size to permit easy entry and egress of rear passengers. The rear wheel housing carrier member has at least two, approximately linear regions, one arcuately flowing into the other for connection of the vehicle's floor structure and two roof support posts of the vehicle bodywork.

Abstract: The invention relates to a reinforcement assembly for a sheet metal component in a vehicle bodywork by a second reinforcement piece formed as an extruded light metal section which is additionally secured thereto. The sheet metal component to be reinforced runs straight in a first spatial direction and is curved only in the other two spatial directions. According to the invention, the extruded light metal reinforcement piece is shaped to conformingly fit the curved surfaces of the sheet metal component. The sheet metal component and the reinforcement piece are preferably adhesively secured together. A preferred use of the invention is for reinforcing the sheet metal vehicle floor tub in the high peak stress region of the rear safety belt anchor points. The arrangement of the invention provides an effective reinforcement for heavy loads with good force transmission.
