Embodiment Construction

[0029] Figures 1 and 2 show a hybrid beam for a car, which is placed between the A-pillars of the car and is used to connect various functional parts, such as instrument panels or airbags. The beam 1 has a body 2 formed from a bent sheet metal. The profile of the body 2 is substantially u-shaped, and the ends of its two legs are bent outwards so as to give the body profile a slightly open shape. The main body 2 is widened in its central part 4, that is to say, when installed in the vehicle, the main body 2 is divided into two branches 6 at the position of the center console, each branch 6 also having substantially the same profile. U-shaped, and also slightly open. Optionally, the outline of the body 2 can also be a hollow outline with any cross section. In order to connect various functional parts, such as airbags, knee protection panels and / or instrument panel fixing parts, several connecting parts 7 are provided on the body 2 . The connectors 7 are made into curved plate...

Abstract

The foundation body (2) of the cross-member has a U-section groove detouring round a plastics housing (11,12) for a centrally mounted heater or air conditioner. An air duct (14) may fit in the groove in the foundation body. There are straight groove sections (2a,c) on either side of the heater or air conditioner housing and there are air outlets (16) at the ends of the cross-member. The heater or air conditioner has centrally arranged outlets (13,15).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cross member of the hybrid type, in particular arranged between the A-pillars of a motor vehicle, which has a body with a reinforcement, in which at least one air duct is arranged, and whose At least one portion is widened while it forms part of the housing of the heating and / or air-conditioning system. Background technique [0002] Such hybrid beams are known, for example, from DE 100 14 606 A1. In this patent, at least a part of the cross member, in particular its central region, is widened on at least one side in order to assume other functions and becomes part of the housing of the heating and / or air-conditioning system. Thus, besides taking up a lot of space, the crossbeam, especially the crossbeam with integrated air duct, is also geometrically complex. Due to the widening, the profile of the beam is curved, such a shape usually requires the addition of a cover plate and a separate duct. In addition, heating and / or a...
