Abstract
The reinforcement bar for motor vehicle body components, in particular an anti-intrusion bar for doors, has in cross-section at least one omega-shape element (10) comprising two horizontal base sections (12) from which extend respective vertical sections (14) joined at the top by a further horizontal section (16), or at least one inverted U-shaped element (28) comprising two vertical sections (14) joined at the top by a further horizontal section (16). The bar has respective longitudinally extending slots (18) in the vertical sections (14) at at least one end in such a way that it allows the end of the bar to be shaped in conformity with the assembly requirements of the motor vehicle body components to re reinforced.

A reinforcement bar for motor vehicle body components, having in cross-section at least one omega-shape element (10) comprising two horizontal base sections (12) from which extend respective vertical sections (14) joined at the top by a further horizontal section (16), or at least one inverted U-shaped element (28) comprising two vertical sections (14) joined at the top by a further horizontal section (16), said bar having at least one end with vertical sections (14) having respective longitudinally extending slots (18) therein such that said end of the bar can be shaped to conform to assembly requirements for the motor vehicle body component to be reinforced.
A process for the production of a reinforcement bar having in section at least one omega-shape element (10) comprising two horizontal base sections (12) from which extend respective vertical sections (14) joined at the top by a further horizontal section (16), or at least one inverted U-shaped element (28) comprising two vertical sections (14) joined at the top by a further horizontal section (16), said process involving the formation of respective longitudinally extending slots (18) in said vertical sections (14) at at least one end of a bar, and shaping said end of the bar in conformity with assembly requirements for the motor vehicle body component to be reinforced.
