BEARER JOINT, ESPECIALLY LONGITUDINAL BEARER JOINT, IN COACHWORK FOR A PASSENGER CAR

摘要

The invention relates to a load-bearing link, in particular a link-carrying spar for the bodywork of a motor car, which comprises a load-bearing structure formed from support profiles (1) extruded from light metal, as well as connecting elements (7, 8 ). In order to connect supports or load-bearing parts (2, 3), a connecting element is formed by two shells (7, 8) which can be assembled which surround the ends (5, 6) of supports (7, 8) mutually adjacent to connect. The shells (7, 8) are molded parts made of light metals which, in the assembled state, are connected to one another and to the supports (2, 3), in particular by welding or by gluing.
