Device for fixing door sill on base plate of vehicle has angled tensile band bridging joining gap between welding flange on sill and edge of base plate to absorb and transfer crash forces

摘要

A welded connection is provided between a welding flange (22) on a long side of the sill (10) and an edge (23) of the base plate and the joining gap between the flange and edge is bridged at the back by a transverse tensile band (26) which is fixed by one end on the sill and by the other end on the adjoining area of the base plate. the tensile band can be a separate angular part whose arms form an obtuse angle with each other.
