摘要

The structural component (1), for the reinforcement of motor vehicle safety components, is of metal sheet rolled into a closed tubular cross section (2) by hot or cold shaping. It has a projecting flange (3) in two layers (4,5) from the edges of the metal sheet. The flange lies on a radial plane (7) through the center axis (6). A central strap (8) can be inserted between the flange layers through the interior of the tube.
