Reinforcement member for a draw beam, and a draw beam with such a reinforcement member

摘要

A reinforcement member (10) for a draw beam (1) of the kind having a first and a second substantially parallel longitudinal walls (3, 4) and a web (2) extending between the walls, said web (2) having at least one opening (7) for receiving a neck portion (31) of a coupling device (30), having a first part (11) and a second (12) which parts (11, 12) are formed so that, when they are attached to the draw beam (1), each part (11, 12) extends around at least a portion of a perimeter of said opening (7), and said parts (11, 12) are separated from each other in a transverse direction of the web (2). The invention is based on the surprising insight that dividing the reinforcement member into two parts will eliminate much of the stress created when attaching a U-shaped member to a draw beam, without causing any significant weakening of the function of the reinforcement element.
