A charging apparatus () for a vehicle that can be driven electrically has a charging cradle () with an access opening () and an electrical charging socket () is arranged in the charging cradle (). A closure cover () is mounted pivotably in the charging cradle () and, in a closed position, covers the access opening () in the charging cradle () and, in an open position, opens said access opening. A sealing ring () which extends around the charging socket (), and the closure cover () has a ring attachment () that makes contact with the sealing ring () along a ring contour of the sealing ring when the closure cover () is closed. Thus, the charging socket is sealed off reliably to the outside.

Charging apparatus for a vehicle that can be driven electrically

A motor vehicle body has at least two sills running laterally in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. An auxiliary frame is provided in a region of a front axle and at least one strut is provided, the strut running between the auxiliary frame of the front axle and one of the two lateral sills. This makes it possible in particular to increase the natural frequency of a vehicle front end by structurally simple and also cost-effective measures.

Motor vehicle body

An inner gusset plate is connected, in each case in the region of the C pillar, to a roof frame cross-member, to a lateral roof frame member and to a rear sealing channel cheek of a motor vehicle or of a rear part of a motor vehicle. The inner gusset plate is arranged opposite a further, outer, connected gusset plate. The two gusset plates form a pillar profile and are connected to a wheel box of the body structure. The inner gusset plate is supported via adjoining inner brackets on a longitudinal member of the vehicle, which longitudinal member is adjoined by two cross-members in the vehicle floor, which cross-members are arranged in the region of the supporting base of the inner bracket on the longitudinal member.

Body structure for a motor vehicle

In a preassembly position, the hinge elements of the two hinges of the vehicle door are each connected fixedly to the vehicle door via a pivotable hinge element of the two hinges. The vehicle door is held in position with precise gap positioning in a side wall door cutout of the vehicle body. In a final assembly position, the positionally fixed hinge element of the two hinges is connected to outer and inner wall parts of a vehicle pillar of the vehicle body via fastening screws and via a torque strut.

A spring strut mounting for holding an upper end of a spring strut of a motor vehicle contains a spring strut dome with an articulation point for articulatedly connecting the upper end of the spring strut. The spring strut mounting further has a lower dome carrier which can be connected to a longitudinal member of the motor vehicle, and an upper dome carrier which can be connected to an A pillar of the motor vehicle, with the upper dome carrier engaging over the articulation point.

Spring strut mounting

In a seat console, weight sensors for measuring the weight of occupants are arranged, which are provided between a top frame and a bottom frame of the console. So that a floating bearing of the top frame in the bottom frame is ensured, the top frame and the bottom frame are held to be supported by the weight sensors. In order to avoid damage or a faulty measurement, the top frame dips into the bottom frame in an open manner.

Seat console for a vehicle seat

In a vehicle, a supporting member running lengthwise is located in the area of the lengthwise sill which is fastened to the pillars A, B, and C and which can support itself on an internal supporting block in the event of a side collision.
