  • Publication number: 20230347985
    Abstract: A vehicle structure comprising a portion extending in a longitudinal direction, wherein the portion comprises a first member extending in the longitudinal direction and a second member extending in the longitudinal direction. The first member is con-figured to face an inside of a vehicle, and the second member is configured to face an outside of the vehicle. The first and second members are attached to one another to form a substantially closed space between them. The portion comprises a wave-shaped reinforcement member locat-ed in a substantially closed space. The substantially closed space is formed when the first and second members are attached to one another.

  • Publication number: 20220363318
    Abstract: A vehicle side structure (102; 202) comprising a side portion (104; 204) extending in a longitudinal direction (106; 206), wherein the side portion (104; 204) comprises a first member (108; 208) extending in the longitudinal direction (106; 206) and a second member (110; 210) extending in the longitudinal direction (106; 206). The first member (108; 208) is configured to face an inside (112; 212) of a vehicle, and the second member (110; 210) is configured to face an outside (114; 214) of the vehicle. The first and second members (108, 110; 208; 210) are attached to one another to form a substantially closed space (116; 216) between them. The side portion (104; 204) comprises two wave-shaped reinforcement members (118, 120; 218, 220) located in the substantially closed space (116; 216). The reinforcement members (118, 120; 218, 220) are attached to one another.

  • Patent number: 11046367
    Abstract: A vehicle side structure (100; 101) comprising a side portion (102; 103) extending in a longitudinal direction (104), wherein the side portion comprises a first and a second member (106, 108) extending in the longitudinal direction. The first and second members (106, 108) form a closed space (114). The side portion (102) comprises a reinforcing member (124) located in closed space (114), the reinforcement member (124) extending in the longitudinal direction. The reinforcement member (124) has a first leg (126) and a second leg (128) extending in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction. Each leg has a foot (130, 132) extending in the longitudinal direction. The first and second legs (126, 129) are joined in a head section (134). Each leg (126, 128) is corrugated, wherein the corrugations of the first and second legs (126, 128) comprise ridges (136, 144) and grooves (138, 142) which extend from the head section (134) to the respective foot (130, 132).

  • Patent number: 9205726
    Abstract: A door beam has a double hat profile between its mounting ends (12, 13). The height of the outer sidewalls (14, 15) of the double hat profile decreases from a central part (25) of the beam towards the mounting ends (12, 13). Thus the height ratio between the outer (14, 15) and the inner (18, 19) sidewalls is decreased towards the mounting ends.

  • Patent number: 8061762
    Abstract: A vehicle door has an impact protection beam (12) which bears a sensor (20) for releasing one or more impact cushions. The beam (12) is a hat beam with its concave side facing towards the interior of the vehicle, and a fitting hole (18) in the central flange (12) for fitting the sensor (20) within the beam. One of the hat beam's webs (13) has clip holes for fitting the sensor's cabling along the beam.
