Patent number: 11628893Abstract: A rear spoiler device for a motor vehicle contains an upper shell which has an air-guiding outer wall. The upper shell extends longitudinally from a leading edge to a trailing edge and has a central main part and two side parts. The side parts are oriented so as to be inclined relative to the main part and are integrally connected to the main part on a longitudinally extending folded edge. A carrier element is provided which is fastenable to the motor vehicle and which has at least one retaining tab for fastening the upper shell. It is provided that a fastening tab which protrudes in the direction of the retaining tab of the carrier element and which extends along the folded edge is arranged on the inner face of the upper shell remote from the air-guiding outer wall.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: Volkswagen AktiengesellschaftInventors: Thorben Boesche, Christian Baer

Patent number: 9555835Abstract: The invention relates to a body structure, in particular a floor structure, for a motor vehicle, comprising support components that form defined load paths for crash situations. According to the invention, at least some of the support components located in the region of at least one defined load path, in particular a head-on collision load path and/or a side collision load path and/or a rear collision load path, are formed by high-strength support components, preferably by fully through-hardened or at least partially through-hardened high-strength support components which are made of a hot-formed or shape-hardened sheet steel and which are directly or indirectly, preferably directly, connected to each other, in particular connected to one another non-positively and/or positively and/or by bonding.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2015Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: VOLKSWAGEN AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Bernard Lohmann, Werner Krauth, Thorben Bösche, Gwendolin Schifferli, Martin Steinrücken, Stefan Thiele, Jürgen Hillmann
