Structural element comprising a vertical member securing nut and the corresponding motor vehicle

摘要

The motor vehicle structural element ( 3 ) comprises a cross-member ( 4 ) and, at at least one end ( 5 ) of the cross-member, a first nut ( 10 ) presenting a tapped bore ( 14 ) for receiving a screw ( 11 ) for fastening the cross-member to an upright ( 2 ) of the vehicle, the axis of the tapped bore being substantially parallel to the director line (L) of the cross-member. The element further comprises a first cage ( 20 ) for preventing the nut ( 10 ) from turning about the axis of its tapped bore, the first cage ( 20 ) being mounted at said end ( 5 ) of the cross-member, and the nut ( 10 ) being capable of moving in the first cage in translation substantially perpendicularly to the axis of its tapped bore.
