Hybrid-structure assembly support

An assembly support for a front end of passenger vehicles and light trucks, whereby this assembly support is made in hybrid construction using plastic and components of stiff material such as steel injected with plastic, and an upper cross member (1), lateral members (2) attached to them and below them with a flange plate (3) for connection with the face ends of vehicle longitudinal members and lower cross member (4) connecting the lower sections (2.1) of the lateral members (2),

• said assembly support characterized in that
• the lower cross member (4) consists of a shell body (5) with a flange (5.1) extending along its edge and projecting outward, and of a sealing part (6) overlapping its edge area (6.1) placed upon and in contact with the shell body flange (5.1), whereby the shell body (5) and the sealing part (6) consist of a stiff material, and whereby the flange (5.1) of the shell body (5) and the edge area (6.1) of the sealing part (6) are connected together and with the lateral members (2) by means of the injected plastic used for the hybrid design;
• and wherein the lateral member lower sections (2.1) also each consist of a shell body (7) with a flange (7.1) running along the edge and projecting outward and a sealing part (8) with its edge (8.1) overlapping placed on top of it, whereby the shell body (7) and the sealing parts (8) are made of a stiff material and the flange (7.1) of the shell body (7) and the edge areas (8.1) of the sealing parts (8) are connected together and with the other areas of the lateral member (2) and the lower cross member (4) by means of the injected plastic used for the hybrid design;
• and
• further wherein the lower cross member (4) and the lower sections (2.1) of the lateral member (2) each include separate shell bodies (5, 7) and the sealing parts (6, 8) connected with these shell bodies (5, 7) by means of the plastic are formed as one piece.
