<p>A reinforcing member (34a) for reinforcing a hollow structural member of an automobile, aircraft, boat, etc. includes a carrier (38) which has first and second spaced apart walls (60,62), wherein the spaced apart walls (60,62) are connected by a connecting wall (58). Reinforcing elements (40,42) comprising thermally expansible material (39) are positioned in overlaying relationship to the first and second spaced apart walls (60,62). Said expansible material (39) is attached by fastening means (44,72) to said carrier (38) which preferably has an expansion temperature similar to the temperatures achieved in a specific stage of a particular manufacturing process. <IMAGE></p> |
