Abstract
A component comprising a sheet-like reinforcing component having a first stiffness and a sheet-like attachment made of an attachment material having a second stiffness, wherein the first stiffness is higher than the second stiffness, wherein the planar reinforcing component has an upper and lower side and the attachment is connected at least to the upper or lower side of the planar reinforcing component in a first partial area of the planar reinforcing component.
Claims11
A component suitable for at least one of:
- a front end module support,
- a seat structure,
- a door system,
- a fuel tank housing,
- a vehicle underbody structure,
- an underride guard, or
- a structural component for battery systems or a battery housing,
- the component comprising a planar reinforcing component having a first stiffness and at least one planar attachment made of an attachment material having a second stiffness, the first stiffness being higher than the second stiffness, wherein the planar reinforcing component has an upper and lower side and the at least one planar attachment is connected at least to the upper or lower side of the planar reinforcing component in a first partial area of the planar reinforcing component,
- the planar reinforcing component having at least one aperture from the upper side to the lower side of the planar reinforcing component, the at least one planar attachment covering the at least one aperture, and
- a functional component, wherein the functional component or a portion of the functional component is provided in the aperture and is sealed from a wall of the at least one aperture by the attachment material of the planar attachment, wherein the functional component is a hose, feedthrough, or valve.
