A device for reinforcing, sealing, or damping a structural element in a motor vehicle including a support which has multiple cells, wherein each cell surrounds a cavity. Each cavity is at least partially delimited by walls in each direction, wherein each cell has an extension in length, height, and width between 5 mm and 100 mm. An outer surface of the support can be connected to the structural element by an adhesive.

Device for reinforcing, sealing or damping a structural element

A device for reinforcing a structural element in a motor vehicle including a reinforcing element, which has a longitudinal axis and which can be arranged in a cavity of the structural element. The reinforcing element includes walls which extend substantially in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The reinforcing element additionally includes at least one open side, which likewise extends in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The walls directly adjoining the open side are designed in a convergent manner in that extensions of said adjoining walls running in the direction of the open side and perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis intersect.

Device for reinforcing a structural element

A system of a sealed and reinforced structural element of a motor vehicle includes: a structural element, which has a cavity with a longitudinal axis; a carrier. A first material for reinforcing the structural element, wherein the first material has a modulus of elasticity of at least 100 MPa; and a second material for sealing the structural element, wherein the second material has a modulus of elasticity of at most 20 MPa.

System of a sealed and reinforced structural element

A device for reinforcing and sealing a structural element in a motor vehicle including a reinforcing element which has a longitudinal axis and which is disposable in a cavity of the structural element, wherein the reinforcing element includes walls which extend substantially in the direction of the longitudinal axis, wherein part-regions of the walls on an external circumference of the reinforcing element form at least one strip which encircles the reinforcing element and which runs transversely to the longitudinal axis of the reinforcing element.

Device for reinforcing and sealing a structural element

A device for reinforcing a structural element in a motor vehicle including: a reinforcing element which has a longitudinal axis and which is disposable in a cavity of the structural element, wherein the reinforcing element includes side walls which extend substantially in the direction of the longitudinal axis, wherein a fastening element for the preliminary fixing of the reinforcing element to the structural element is disposed on a first side wall, wherein a side wall that is opposite the first side wall at a location that is opposite the fastening element has a closed surface for connecting to the structural element.

A system of a reinforced structural element of a motor vehicle includes a structural element having two panel sheets, as well as a reinforcing element, and an adhesive. The reinforcing element herein in the region of joints of the panel sheets is adhesively bonded to the structural element.
