A system of a reinforced structural element of motor vehicle include: structural element includes a first and second sheet, wherein the sheets are connected to one another at first and second joining points, wherein the sheets form elongate cavity in region between the joining points, and wherein second sheet has, in region between first and second joining points, a bulge with first leg arranged at first joining point and with second leg arranged at second joining point; a reinforcing element includes a first and second side walls connecting the wall arranged in cavity of structural element; and adhesive bonding reinforcing element to structural element; wherein first side wall of reinforcing element arranging the first joining point and second side wall of reinforcing element arranging the second leg of second sheet so larger portions of force acting on first joining point of reinforcing element transferring, to second leg of second sheet.

Motor vehicle reinforced structural element system

In the case of an element for sealing or reinforcing a cavity of a structural element, in particular of a vehicle, the element comprises a base element a foamable part, and an opening for receiving a penetrating element. A wing is arranged on the base element, the opening is open at the side and an actuator which moves the wing when the penetrating element is introduced is arranged on the wing.
