Endseitiger Abschluß eines Fahrzeuglängsträgers

摘要

An end part for a vehicle longitudinal beam consisting of a longitudinal bearer member designed as a hollow section longitudinal beam (1) and an end part (3) which is partially inserted within and secured to one end of the hollow section longitudinal beam. The end part is formed as an extruded hollow section which includes a ring-shaped closed outer wall (5) having at least one integrally formed fastening element for fastening other parts thereto. The outer contour or profile (6) of the end part (3) corresponds to the inner contour or profile (2) of the hollow section longitudinal beam (1) in order to provide a tight interlocking fit between the mutually contacting surfaces of the two parts. The longitudinal axis of the end part (3) and the longitudinal axis (4) of the hollow section longitudinal beam (1) are coaligned with one another so that the end part (3) is capable of ensuring a form-fitted stable union with the hollow section longitudinal beam (1) even when the cross section of the hollow section longitudinal beam (1) has a complex shape. In addition, the male and female fastening elements which are shaped during the extrusion process lie in the longitudinal direction of the hollow section longitudinal beam and are thus appropriately oriented for a large number of applications.
