Abstract
In a structural component (1), a shielding component in particular, with individual adjacent component sections (21, 23) that can be brought at least partially by a functional unit (25) into a definable three-dimensional position to each other along an action line. The functional unit (25) is divided into component units (27, 29, 31) enabling definable positioning along at least one further action line (29) extending at a definable distance adjacent to one action line (27).
Claims12
A shielding component, comprising:
- at least first and second individual and adjacent metal component sections;
- a metal functional unit connecting said first and second component sections and allowing said first and second component sections to be located in a definable three-dimensional positions relative to each other, said functional unit including first and second bending beads extending at a distance to one another and directly connecting said functional unit to said first and second component sections, respectively, said bending beads defining ends of an intermediate space therebetween;
- and
- at least one stiffening element in said functional unit substantively bridging said intermediate space.
