Abstract
A support structure in a framework construction is provided. The support structure includes a first and a second rod of an axle support of a motor vehicle, a positioning element, and a first and a second fiber winding. The positioning element fixes an alignment of the first rod relative to an alignment of the second rod. A first support section of the positioning element is drawn by the first fiber winding in the direction of a support section of the first rod, and a second support section of the positioning element is drawn by the second fiber winding in the direction of a support section of the second rod in order to hold the first and second rods in the fixed alignment relative to each other by a frictional connection.
Claims20
A support structure in a framework construction, comprising:
- a first and a second rod of an axle carrier of a motor vehicle,
- a positioning element, and
- a first and a second fiber winding, wherein
- the positioning element defines an orientation of the first rod relative to an orientation of the second rod, and
- a first supporting portion of the positioning element is drawn by the first fiber winding in a direction of a supporting portion of the first rod, and a second supporting portion of the positioning element is drawn by the second fiber winding in the direction of a supporting portion of the second rod, in order to secure the first and the second rod in the defined relative orientation to each other via frictional engagement.
A method for producing a support structure in a framework construction, the method comprising the acts of:
- arranging a first supporting portion of a positioning element on a supporting portion of a first rod of an axle carrier of a motor vehicle;
- arranging a second supporting portion of the positioning element on a supporting portion of a second rod of the axle carrier of a motor vehicle;
- connecting the first supporting portion of the positioning element to the supporting portion of the first rod by a fiber winding, which draws the first supporting portion of the positioning element in the direction of the supporting portion of the first rod, and connecting the second supporting portion of the positioning element to the supporting portion of the second rod by a second fiber winding, which draws the second supporting portion of the positioning element in the direction of the supporting portion of the second rod, in order to secure the first and the second rod in a defined relative alignment to each other via frictional engagement.
