PROFILED BEAM FOR A VEHICLE CHASSIS AND UTILITY VEHICLE CHASSIS HAVING A PROFILED BEAM OF SAID TYPE

摘要

The present invention relates to a profiled beam for a vehicle chassis, wherein a reinforcement plate (5, 6, 7) bears against at least one part (T1 - T3) of the profiled beam (1, 20), which reinforcement plate is connected fixedly and non-detachably to the associated part (T1 - T3) of the profiled beam (1, 20). The profiled beam (1, 20) according to the invention for a vehicle chassis, and a utility vehicle chassis constructed using a profiled beam of said type, can be produced inexpensively and have optimal usage characteristics while being of minimal weight. This is achieved in that the connection between the reinforcement plate (5, 6, 7, 22) and the associated part (T1, T2, T3) of the profiled beam (1, 20) is produced by means of at least one clinched connection (D1 - D4).
