The invention relates to a connecting element () for producing a connection between a hollow profiled element () and a further component (), wherein the connecting element () is designed for at least interlockingly engaging with the hollow profiled element () and for connecting to the further component (). According to the invention, at least two contact surfaces (), which are arranged at an offset to each other in height, are provided on the connecting element () for contact with at least two sections () of the hollow profiled element () that correspond to said contact surface.

Connecting element for producing a connection between a hollow profiled element and a further component

The invention relates to a structural component for a motor vehicle, comprising an at least partially hollow profiled segment, which can be connected to a motor vehicle body by means of at least two fastening elements arranged in a fastening section. The problem addressed by the invention is that of increasing the crash safety of the structural component. This problem is solved in that a reinforcing element () is arranged in the fastening section between a lateral impact surface () and the fastening elements (), which reinforcing element extends in the longitudinal direction of the profiled segment and, in the event of an impact from the impact surface, laterally comes into contact with the fastening means at least partially by means of displacement of the fastening elements, the impact energy thus being absorbed.

Structural component for a motor vehicle having a reinforcing element

The invention relates to a connecting element () to connect a battery cell () of an electric vehicle () to a battery box (), wherein the connecting element () has at least one connecting section () for connection to the battery cell and is joined to the battery box (). The problem addressed by the invention is that of being able at least largely to dispense with the need to use filler material when joining the connecting element to the baseplate of the battery box so as to improve its quality and make it more cost-effective. The problem is solved by a connecting element () that has at least one joining section () for securely connecting the connecting element to the battery box ().
