Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to a beam having at least one hollow chamber for receiving a bolt element in a bush of the beam. The beam is distinguished by the fact that the bush is of multipart design and at least one of these plurality of parts of the bush is cold-joined to the beam.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A beam, comprising at least one hollow chamber for receiving a bolt element in a bush of the beam, wherein the bush is of multipart design and at least one of these plurality of parts of the bush is cold-joined to the beam, and wherein the beam takes the form of a longitudinal beam for a motor vehicle to which an engine or engine frame of the motor vehicle can be fastened via at least one bolt element. 2. The beam as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one part of the bush has an internal thread which corresponds to an external thread of the bolt element. 3. The beam as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least two parts of the bush are captively arranged in the beam before the bolt element is connected to the bush. 4. The beam as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the at least one cold-joined part of the bush has elements which interact with elements of the at least one hollow chamber in such a way that, in the region of these elements, the part of the bush forms a form fit with the at least one hollow chamber. 5. The beam as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the form fit is formed by undercuts between the elements of the cold-joined part of the bush and the elements of the at least one hollow chamber. 6. The beam as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the form fit is formed by stamped formations between the elements of the cold-joined part of the bush and the elements of the at least one hollow chamber. 7. The beam as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one part of the bush is arranged in the at least one hollow chamber in a form-fitting manner. 8. The beam as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least two of the parts of the bush are cold-joined to one another, in particular cold-pressed with one another. 9. The beam as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bush is of three-part design. 10. The beam as claimed in claim 2 , wherein at least two parts of the bush are captively arranged in the beam before the bolt element is connected to the bush. 11. The beam as claimed in claim 2 , wherein at least one part of the bush is arranged in the at least one hollow chamber in a form-fitting manner. 12. The beam as claimed in claim 3 , wherein at least one part of the bush is arranged in the at least one hollow chamber in a form-fitting manner. 13. The beam as claimed in claim 4 , wherein at least one part of the bush is arranged in the at least one hollow chamber in a form-fitting manner. 14. The beam as claimed in claim 5 , wherein at least one part of the bush is arranged in the at least one hollow chamber in a form-fitting manner. 15. The beam as claimed in claim 6 , wherein at least one part of the bush is arranged in the at least one hollow chamber in a form-fitting manner. 16. The beam as claimed in claim 2 , wherein at least two of the parts of the bush are cold-joined to one another, in particular cold-pressed with one another. 17. The beam as claimed in claim 3 , wherein at least two of the parts of the bush are cold-joined to one another, in particular cold-pressed with one another. 18. The beam as claimed in claim 4 , wherein at least two of the parts of the bush are cold-joined to one another, in particular cold-pressed with one another. 19. The beam as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the bush is of three-part design. 20. The beam as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the bush is of three-part design.
