  • Patent number: 11084366
    Abstract: A mounting arrangement of an electrically drivable motor vehicle has at least one battery module housing that accommodates multiple battery cells to form a battery module. The battery module is oriented with its longitudinal extension transverse to a longitudinal extension of the motor vehicle. In addition, at least one separate load transfer element for transferring a crash load that occurs is present. The load transfer element is situated on each end-face side of the battery module housing, between a body part and an end-face side of the battery module housing. The arrangement is provided in such a way that when a crash load is introduced into the body part, a load path is formed that encompasses at least the body part facing the crash, the load transfer element facing the crash, the battery module housing, the load transfer element facing away from the crash, and the body part facing away from the crash.

  • Patent number: 10960738
    Abstract: An arrangement for the transfer of collision forces possibly resulting from a crash event from one body part to another body part of a motor vehicle, with a hollow profile acting as a crash profile, which hollow profile runs in the main direction of travel or transversely to the main direction of travel is loaded on pressure in the case of the crash event, and is frontally supported on each of the body parts. The hollow profile is frontally supported on the respective body part by means of interposition of in each case a load transfer element.

  • Publication number: 20130337207
    Abstract: A method for the manufacture of an integrally reinforced lightweight structure with a fiber-reinforced plastic by a molding tool, the structure having stiffening ribs crossing one another at node points and a skin attached to the stiffening ribs. The molding tool has channel-type depressions for creating the stiffening ribs. The steps include laying down into the depressions at least one intermediate layer and at least one reinforcement layer, repeating the laying down until the depressions are at least partially filled with intermediate layers and reinforcement layers to form the stiffening ribs with integral connecting feet, populating the molding tool with intermediate layers and reinforcement layers for manufacturing the skin, and curing and/or solidifying the intermediate layers and reinforcement layers. A resulting lightweight structure and a device for the manufacture of the lightweight structure are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8343410
    Abstract: A production method for producing molded articles from fiber composites, superparamagnetic particles are selected which become coupled to an external alternating magnetic field. These superparamagnetic particles are added to a resin portion of a strip-shaped starting material further comprising reinforcing fibers. The strip-shaped starting material is then continuously advanced, and, while being advanced, heated by coupling-in an external alternating magnetic field to which the superparamagnetic particles in the resin portion become coupled. Next, the heated starting material is continuously molded into a molded article; and the resin portion in the molded particle is cured.
