Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to a cross member assembly, in particular a floor cross member assembly and/or a footwell cross member assembly, on a vehicle body, having a cross member ( 4 ) which extends in the vehicle transverse direction and on which at least one longitudinal member ( 6 ), to which force may be applied, in particular in a crash situation, and which essentially extends in the vehicle longitudinal direction, is supported by force in a defined longitudinal member supporting area ( 13 ), the cross member assembly having at least one member component ( 9, 10, 11 ) which extends away from the cross member ( 4 ) diametrically opposed to the longitudinal member ( 6 ) to which force may be applied and/or which is connected in a member component connecting area. According to the invention, a defined, force-conducting load path profile ( 12 ), which is designed to be elevated and/or recessed in relation to an adjacent surface area of the cross member ( 4 ), is provided on the cross member ( 4 ) and extends from the longitudinal member supporting area ( 13 ) in the direction of or up to at least one member component ( 9, 10, 11 ) and forms a defined load path area on the cross member side.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A cross member assembly, in particular a floor cross member assembly and/or a footwell cross member assembly on a vehicle body, said cross member assembly comprising: a cross member which extends in a vehicle transverse direction and on which at least one longitudinal member, to which force may be applied and which extends in a vehicle longitudinal direction, is supported by force in a defined longitudinal member supporting area; and at least one member co…
