Reinforced door assembly for a motor vehicle

摘要

A reinforced door assembly for a motor vehicle including a vehicle frame. The reinforced door assembly includes a door frame and two reinforcement brackets. The reinforcement brackets incorporate a tubular reinforcement beam which extends the length of the reinforced door assembly. The end of the reinforcement beam which incorporates the reinforcement bracket nearest a latch mechanism of the reinforced door is formed to include a reverse taper cut and extends substantially the entire length of the reinforcement bracket. By extending the entire length of the reinforcement bracket, the reinforcement beam overlaps the latch mechanism of the reinforced door.
