Structural element for automobile vehicle constituting front face of vehicle to support equipment e.g. radiator, comprises hollow metallic body elongated with closed cross section, and plastic body continuously molded on metallic body

摘要

The structural element (2) for automobile vehicle constituting a front face of the vehicle, comprises a hollow metallic body (4) elongated with closed cross section, and a plastic body (6) continuously molded on the hollow metallic body. The plastic body comprises two rings (24), which surround on a portion of a circular cross section of the metal body in which the rings are spaced longitudinally. The plastic body with each cross section of the hollow metallic body is entirely located outside a contour of the hollow metallic body. The structural element (2) for automobile vehicle constituting a front face of the vehicle, comprises a hollow metallic body (4) elongated with closed cross section, and a plastic body (6) continuously molded on the hollow metallic body. The plastic body comprises two rings (24), which surround on a portion of a circular cross section of the metal body in which the rings are spaced longitudinally. The plastic body with each cross section of the hollow metallic body is entirely located outside a contour of the hollow metallic body. An axial length of each ring at a longitudinal distance between the rings are lower than 0.6. The hollow metallic body has a non-circular cross section apart from a section of the hollow metallic body on which the rings are surrounded. Independent claims are included for: (1) an automobile vehicle; and (2) a process of manufacturing a structural element.
