Abstract
Abstract A longitudinal bearer support for a forward longitudinal bearer supported under angular bending at the end wall of a self-supporting motor vehicle body, whereby the end wall is locally bulged out in the direction of the vehicle end within the connecting area of each forward longitudinal bearer in such a manner that a form-rigid body results; each forward longitudinal bearer is forked in its approach at the form-rigid body and the resulting arms at least partially surround the form-rigid body; two arms are created by the forking which, extending either parallelly to one another or at an angle to one another, lead to the subfloor.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
73 words
A motor vehicle body including a longitudinal bearer and comprising end wall means defining a wall of a passenger compartment and locally bulged out in the direction of the respective vehicle end in a manner forming a rigid body, said longitudinal bearer having an end supported against said end wall and being forked so as to create a pair of arms partially surrounding said rigid body and extending to a subfloor forming means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
73 words
A motor vehicle body including a longitudinal bearer and comprising end wall means defining a wall of a passenger compartment and locally bulged out in the direction of the respective vehicle end in a manner forming a rigid body, said longitudinal bearer having an end supported against said end wall and being forked so as to create a pair of arms partially surrounding said rigid body and extending to a subfloor forming means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
A motor vehicle body according to claim 1, wherein one said longitudinal bearer and rigid body are formed on each side of a center vehicle longitudinal axis.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A vehicle body according to claim 1, characterized in that said arms extend to the subfloor means substantially parallel to one another.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
A longitudinal bearer support according to claim 1, characterized in that said arms extend to the subfloor means at an angle to one another.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
A vehicle body according to claim 1 or 2, or 3, characterized in that the ends of the arms are connected by at least one bearer means extending in the vehicle transverse direction.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
A longitudinal bearer support according to claim 5, characterized in that said transversely extending bearer means is mounted on the subfloor means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
23 words
A longitudinal bearer support according to claim 5, characterized in that said transversely extending bearer means is formed out of the subfloor means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
31 words
A vehicle body according to claim 5, characterized in that the arms are formed by indentations or embossments in the rigid body means and are closed off by a cover means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
58 words
A vehicle body according to claim 8, characterized in that a second forked longitudinal bearer is provided, each longitudinal bearer being associated with a respective rigid body means, and in that the arms, together with the transversely extending bearer means connecting the free ends thereof, form a preassembled bearer connection to which an associated longitudinal bearer is connected.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
35 words
A longitudinal bearer support according to claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that the arms are formed by indentations or embossments in the rigid body means and are closed off by a cover means.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
60 words
A motor vehicle body according to claim 5, characterized in that a second forked longitudinal bearer is provided, each longitudinal bearer being associated with a respective rigid body means, and in that the arms, together with the transversely extending bearer means connecting the free ends thereof form a preassembled bearer connection to which the associated longitudinal bearer means is connected.
