Abstract
An insulating element for insulating a structural element in a vehicle including a carrier element having an edge region and an expandable material which is provided at least on the edge region on the carrier element. The expandable material projects beyond the edge region of the carrier element in at least one direction so that the expandable material forms a flexible projection in this at least one direction.
Claims11
A system having a vehicle structural element and an insulating element for insulating the structural element, said insulating element comprising:
- a carrier element having a peripheral region;
- and
- an expandable material which is disposed at least on the peripheral region on the carrier element, wherein, prior to expansion of the expandable material:
- (i) the expandable material in at least one direction protrudes beyond the peripheral region of the carrier element such that the expandable material in said at least one direction forms a flexible projection, and
- (ii) the flexible projection has at least one protrusion, and the projection is supported on the structural element by way of said protrusion and any contact between the protrusion and the structural element is substantially tangential and/or punctiform.
