Abstract

In the case of a mounting plate (1) which features at least one mounting aperture (2) for screwing in a screw (5), the thickness of the mounting plate (1) determines the strength of the connection between the screw (5) screwed into the mounting aperture (2) and the mounting plate (1). To increase the strength of such a screw connection, in the area of at least one mounting aperture (2), the material thickness of the mounting plate (1) is increased by pressing in at least one recess (3) which is placed preferably in a ring-shape around the mounting aperture (2).
