Patent number: 7467821Abstract: A vehicle body structure for a passenger car equipped with a fastback has oppositely arranged lateral roof frames, rearward side parts and rearward spring strut receiving devices. The oppositely arranged lateral roof frames are each constructed as a hollow support and are being mutually locally connected by transversely extending members. In order to reduce the roof intrusion of the vehicle body structure in the event of a rollover and furthermore increase the torsional resistance, each lateral roof frame in the area of the rearward spring strut receiving devices is additionally connected by way of a hollow support structure which extends in the transverse direction of the vehicle to the adjacent spring strut receiving device situated underneath.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2006Date of Patent: December 23, 2008Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c.F. Porsche AktiengesellschaftInventor: Werner Wolkersdorfer

Patent number: 7422271Abstract: A passenger cell for a passenger vehicle has a B-pillar on each side of the vehicle body. To increase the transverse rigidity of the passenger cell in side impact loads behind the front seats, a device is provided which has a closed hollow beam extending approximately horizontally across the longitudinal direction of the vehicle with lateral ends of the device connected to the adjacent B-pillars. To create an effective device for increasing the transverse rigidity of the passenger cell for a two-door passenger vehicle having only front seats and a mid-engine placement, the device situated approximately at the shoulder height of a vehicle occupant includes a central hollow beam offset to the rear in relation to the B-pillars and connected in a force-transmitting manner to the B-pillars in front at its two laterally exterior ends via side parts that are seen as curved from above.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2005Date of Patent: September 9, 2008Assignee: Dr. Ing. H.C.F. Porsche AktiengesellschaftInventors: Werner Wolkersdorfer, Terence Tattersall, Fred Winter, Dietmar Krase

Patent number: 7249797Abstract: A rearward body structure of a motor vehicle has a vehicle body shell cutout for a tailgate attached to the body structure. The body structure has a roof junction assembly in which a lateral roof side member, a transversely extending roof frame with a hinge connection for the tailgate and a rear column converge, the roof side member the roof frame and the column respectively in a sheet metal shell construction having at least an exterior wall and an interior wall. The roof junction assembly also has an interior side part with a roof side member extension, a roof frame extension as well as a column extension, which roof side member extension and column extension each form the respective interior wall, on which roof frame extension a hinge reinforcement of the hinge connection is fastened.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2005Date of Patent: July 31, 2007Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c.F.

Patent number: 5071094Abstract: For the lead-through of lines to be led through a supporting wall, a closing body is provided which has receiving sections and which can be inserted into a wall opening by means of lateral guiding elements and can be fixed in it by means of a holding member. So that a lead-through arrangement of this type can also be used for wall openings which are closed on the circumference side, it is provided that at least the legs of the lateral guiding elements of the closing body which--viewed in the inserting direction--face the supporting wall, and the corresponding edge portions of the wall opening are provided with one profile respectively formed by projecting areas and recesses situated between them.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 1991Date of Patent: December 10, 1991Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c.F. Porsche AGInventors: Werner Wolkersdorfer, Ulrich Messner
