Profiled frame

A method for manufacturing a profiled frame as a door window frame of a motor vehicle door or lid, the method comprising the steps of:

• manufacturing a hollow profile from flat strip material by roll-forming,
• manufacturing an additional profile featuring at least one contact surface or attachment formation from flat strip material by roll-forming,
• wherein the additional profile is manufactured with a length shorter than the length of the hollow profile, and
• permanently and rigidly connecting the additional profile with the hollow profile in such a way that the additional profile extends substantially over the full length of the hollow profile but the hollow profile features a considerable excess at at least one end for anchoring the profiled frame below the parapet line in a door box of the motor vehicle door or lid.

A method for manufacturing a profiled frame as a window frame or door frame of a motor vehicle door or lid,

• where the profiled frame features a hollow profile and at least one contact surface or attachment formation on the hollow profile,
• in which in a first procedure step the hollow profile is manufactured from flat strip material by roll forming,
• in which in a third procedure step an additional profile is manufactured featuring at least one contact surface or attachment formation,
• in which in a fourth procedure step the additional profile is permanently and rigidly connected with the hollow profile,
• characterized by the fact that in the initial procedure steps the profiled frame is formed by permanently and rigidly connecting the hollow profile, the additional profile(s) and, where applicable, the flange in their straight condition, and that only subsequently in a fifth procedure step the profiled frame is stretch-bent to its final form.

A motor vehicle door comprising:

• a profiled frame arranged as a door window frame and comprising a hollow profile and an additional profile which is separate from the hollow profile,
• wherein the hollow profile and the additional profile are each manufactured as a roll-formed profile from metal flat strip material,
• the additional profile being permanently and rigidly connected with the hollow profile and comprising at least one contact surface or one attachment formation,
• wherein the additional profile extends over part of the hollow profile, and
• wherein the length of the hollow profile and the length of the additional profile differ from each other in such a way that the hollow profile features a considerable excess at at least one end for anchoring the profiled frame below the parapet line in a door box of the motor vehicle door, and
• wherein the excess of the profiled frame is anchored in the door box of the motor vehicle door or lid.
