  • Publication number: 20110254311
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a door structure module, preferably a door structure module for a motor vehicle, particularly preferably a motor vehicle door or a motor vehicle tailgate of metal-plastics-composite design (hybrid technology) and in which at least one panel profile is joined to at least two different plastics elements, where the two plastics elements are composed of different plastics materials which are simultaneously injection-moulded by the bi-injection-moulding process, and as a result of this when the melt fronts of these encounter one another they fuse with one another and simultaneously enter into a secure bond with the panel profile(s).

  • Publication number: 20080315626
    Abstract: A device for the reduction of injuries in the event of a motor-vehicle accident comprises an adapter inserted between the vehicle bodywork and adjacent internal vehicle components to reduce the free space distance between the bodywork and the components. The free space distance is the shortest direct distance between a vehicle component and the adjacent bodywork which is free from other parts. The adapter changes the energy transfer involved in a collision between a person and the vehicle, in order to reduce the risk of injury to the head.

  • Publication number: 20080296164
    Abstract: The present invention relates to one-piece reinforcement elements consisting of an elongate shell-shaped basic body, the inner space of which has reinforcement ribs which are fixedly connected to the basic body, the reinforcement ribs consisting of plastic injection-molded on and their connection to the basic body taking place at discrete connection points via perforations in the basic body through which the plastic passes and extends over the surfaces of the perforations, and of a rigid structure reinforcement which is appended from the same plastic, by means of the same injection-molded operation, at at least one end of the basic body and which corresponds essentially to the form of the cross section of the hollow profile to be reinforced at this point of a body, an expandable adhesive material being applied over a portion of the surface of the rigid structure reinforcement and of the elongate shell-shaped basic body, the form of the rigid structure reinforcement and of the elongate basic body and also the
