Abstract

The sill panel is of multi-part design and consists of a lower sill panel part facing the carriageway and composed of nonwoven fabric (LWRT) and of an upper adjoining sill panel part composed of plastic (PTT). The two sill panel parts are connected to each other by means of an edge-side overlap which is adhesively bonded or welded.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A side sill for a motor vehicle, with a sill panel of profiled cross section, the sill panel being of multi-part design and comprising: a first lower sill panel part that faces a roadway and is composed of an acoustically active nonwoven material (LWRT) that is connected to an upper, adjoining second sill panel part composed of plastic (PTT) by a flat overlap.

2 . The side sill of claim 1 , wherein the mutually facing free side edges of the two panel parts have planar extensions that overlap one another and are connected to each other.

3 . The side sill of claim 2 , wherein the connection of the planar extensions of the two panels takes place via a retrospective welding or adhesive bonding.

4 . The side sill of claim 1 characterized in that the overlapping extension of the first panel part, which is composed of nonwoven fabric, is arranged lying on the inside of the extension of the second panel part and has an offset in such a manner that the outer surfaces of the two panel parts are oriented in a manner running flush with respect to each other.

5 . The side sill of claim 1 , characterized in that the second panel part, which is composed of plastic, has a plurality of transversely running sprues for the first panel part.

6 . The side sill of claim 1 , wherein the first panel part or the second panel part is insert molded on the second panel part or on the first panel part.
