Abstract
A device for reinforcing, sealing, or damping a structural element in a motor vehicle including a carrier, having a first lateral region and a second lateral region, and a first adhesive for connecting the carrier to the structural element. The first adhesive is arranged on the first lateral region of the carrier. The second lateral region of the carrier is designed in such a way that a second adhesive, which can be pumped or extruded onto the structural element or onto the second lateral region of the carrier, is supported by the second lateral region of the carrier during and/or after its activation.
Claims9
A system for reinforcing, sealing or damping a structural element in a motor vehicle, the system comprising:
- a structural element;
- a carrier in the structural element and having a first lateral region and a second lateral region;
- a first adhesive bonding the carrier to the structural element, wherein the first adhesive is on the first lateral region of the carrier;
- and
- a second adhesive pumped or extruded to be between the structural element and the second lateral region of the carrier, while the carrier is in the structural element, so that the second lateral region of the carrier is supported by the second adhesive, wherein
- the second adhesive is a different adhesive than, and independently applied from, the first adhesive.
