An assembly is provided consisting of a frame element of a motor vehicle and a connecting element used for connecting a part. The connecting element is secured to the frame element by way of a fiber winding.

Assembly comprising a frame element and a connecting element, and method for securing a connecting element to a frame element

A wheel for a motor vehicle, has a rim intended to receive a tire and a wheel disc made of fiber composite material joined to the rim, as well as an arrangement including screws or nuts for fastening the wheel disc to a wheel hub, for which purpose the wheel disc has axially directed openings for the passage of the screws or threaded bolts for screwing onto the nuts. The arrangement includes, for each opening of the wheel disc, an insulating body, a bush and a washer, each having a central opening, which surround the opening of the wheel disc in a U-shape, wherein the bush rests as a frame at an inner circumference of the opening, and the insulating body and the washer, resting against the frame and against the wheel disc in each case on one side of the wheel, at least partially cover the wheel disc in the radial direction. The insulating body is directed towards the wheel inside and the washer is directed towards the wheel outside. The insulating body can consist at least partially of ceramic material.

An axle support of a motor vehicle has two longitudinal supports and at least one cross-beam which is connected to connection points with the cross-beams having body connection points in the end areas thereof. The axle support can be installed with identical dimensions in different types of motor vehicle with respect to the weight and/or drive power thereof. When using the axle support in a type of motor vehicle with a heavy weight and/or high driving power, at least one connecting point is wound with a reinforcement element made from fiber-reinforced plastic, which, in another type of vehicle with a lower weight and/or lower driving power is either not provided or is provided in smaller dimensions.

Axle support of a motor vehicle

An axle support for a motor vehicle is provided. The axle support includes an at least approximately planar fiber composite reinforcing element which is secured to individual supports of the axle support. The reinforcing element is multi-layered, with a lower and an upper cover layer and at least one intermediate layer extending analogously to the cover layers over the entire surface. Continuous fiber strips having directionally oriented fibers which are narrow relative to the cover layers are introduced above and below the intermediate layer.

Axle support for a motor vehicle having a reinforcing element made of fibrous composite material

An axle support for a motor vehicle includes at least one first support and at least one second support fitted onto the first support. A cavity between the first and second supports that is defined by the surfaces of the supports and circumferential sealing rings is filled with adhesive to adhere the supports to one another. One of the supports is preferably made of metal, preferably cast aluminum, and the other support is preferably made of fiber-reinforced plastic.
