Abstract
Closing plug for closing holes in objects, in particular for closing holes in vehicle bodies, wherein the closing plug has at least one first circumferential wall which encloses a cavity, wherein a transverse wall is present in the cavity between the circumferential side wall, which transverse wall has an outer shape which corresponds to the shape of the cavity and is attached to the side wall in a circumferential manner, wherein, for the purpose of reinforcing the circumferential wall against yielding outward or inward, at least one reinforcement rib extends transversely through the cavity and so as to connect opposite regions of the circumferential side wall.
Claims8
A closing plug for closing holes in vehicle bodies, wherein the closing plug has at least one circumferential wall which encloses a cavity, wherein a transverse wall is present in the cavity between the circumferential wall, which transverse wall has an outer shape which corresponds to the shape of the cavity and is attached to the side circumferential wall in a circumferential manner;
- wherein the closing plug is formed as a 1-component structural part composed of a heat-activatable adhesive material having adhesive properties at temperatures of between 110° C. to 175° C., without having adhesive properties below 110° C.;
- wherein, for the purpose of reinforcing the circumferential wall against yielding outward or inward, at least one reinforcement rib extends transversely through the cavity and so as to connect opposite regions of the circumferential wall.
A closing plug for closing holes in vehicle bodies, wherein the closing plug has at least one circumferential wall which encloses a cavity, wherein a transverse wall is present in the cavity between the circumferential wall, which transverse wall has an outer shape which corresponds to the shape of the cavity and is attached to the circumferential wall in a circumferential manner;
- wherein the closing plug is formed as a 1-component structural part composed of a heat-activatable adhesive material having adhesive properties at temperatures of between 110° C. to 175° C., without having adhesive properties below 110° C.;
- wherein a central, axial extension is formed in a region of a longitudinal center of the cavity, and reinforcement ribs are formed between said axial extension and an inner surface of the circumferential wall.
A closing plug for closing holes in vehicle bodies, wherein the closing plug has at least one circumferential wall which encloses a cavity, wherein a transverse wall is present in the cavity between the circumferential wall, which transverse wall has an outer shape which corresponds to the shape of the cavity and is attached to the circumferential wall in a circumferential manner;
- wherein the closing plug is formed as a 1-component structural part composed of a heat-activatable adhesive material having adhesive properties at temperatures of between 110° C. to 185° C., without having adhesive properties below 110° C.;
- wherein, for the purpose of reinforcing the circumferential wall against yielding outward or inward, at least one reinforcement rib extends transversely through the cavity and so as to connect opposite regions of the circumferential wall.
