Abstract

The invention relates to a convertible with a rear seat (4), which is bounded laterally by a body side part (10). According to the invention, the body side parts (10) are each designed as cast components and each form a structural node (10A), to which a safety belt (7) is attached.

Description

The invention relates to a convertible according to the preamble of claim 1.

Cabriolets with two-seat rear bench seats, which are bounded laterally from body side panels, are known in numerous variations. Due to the two-seater rear seat such cabriolets are only suitable for family and have considerable disadvantages compared to sedans in terms of practicality compared to sedans.

The invention is based on the object to provide a convertible, which has an improved family or everyday practicality.

This object is achieved by a convertible having the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments with expedient developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

In order to provide a cabriolet with improved suitability for family or everyday use, the body side parts which laterally delimit a rear bench seat are each designed as cast components and each form a structural node to which a safety belt is fastened. Due to the design as a cast component and as a structural node, the body side parts can take on several functions, which are each carried out in known convertibles by a separate component. As a result, space can be gained in the vehicle interior, which can be used with at least the same torsional stiffness to widen the rear seat.

With the simultaneous attachment of the outer seat belts on the bodywork side parts, it is advantageously possible to install a three-seat rear seat with the same external dimensions instead of a two-seater rear seat and to improve the family or everyday suitability.

The body side panels are fabricated from a light metal such as aluminum, magnesium, etc., or other suitable material to implement the lightweight design.

In an advantageous embodiment of the convertible, the body side parts may each have a receptacle for a belt attachment.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the convertible, the body side parts may each have a wall portion and a bottom portion formed perpendicular to the wall portion. By this construction, the body side parts have a high rigidity, which can be improved by the formation of vertically and / or horizontally extending reinforcing ribs.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the convertible, the body side parts may each have a first connection to a receiving shaft of a rollover protection system at a first end region of the wall region. For example, the first end region can be screwed or welded to the receiving shaft. To improve the connection, the first end region can for example have an L-shaped cross section, which can at least partially surround the receiving shaft.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the convertible, the receptacle for the Gurtbefestigung can be performed as a threaded bore in the first end of the wall portion, in which a designed as a bolt Gurtbefestigung can be screwed. This allows a simple and inexpensive attachment of the seat belt to the corresponding body side part.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the convertible, the body side parts may each have a second connection to a B pillar at a second end region of the wall region. For example, the second end region can be screwed or welded to the B-pillar. In order to improve the connection, the two end regions may, for example, have an L-shaped cross-section which can at least partially surround the B-pillar.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the convertible, the body side parts may each have a third connection to a wheel arch at the bottom area. For example, the floor area can be bolted or welded to the wheel arch.

The features and feature combinations mentioned above in the description as well as the features and feature combinations mentioned below in the description of the figures and / or shown alone in the figures can be used not only in the respectively specified combination but also in other combinations or in isolation, without the scope of To leave invention. Thus, embodiments are also included and disclosed by the invention, which are not explicitly shown or explained in the figures, however, emerge and can be produced by separated combinations of features from the embodiments explained.

An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawing and will be explained in more detail in the following description. In the drawing, like reference numerals designate components that perform the same or analog functions. Hereby show:

• 1 a schematic and perspective view of a body side member for a cabriolet according to the invention;
• 2 a schematic and perspective view of a rear portion of a convertible according to the invention with two body side parts 1 without trim parts;
• 3 a schematic and perspective detail of components according to the invention of the lateral rear portion of a convertible according to the invention from 2 ; and
• 4 a schematic and perspective plan view of the side rear portion of a convertible according to the invention from 3 without rear seat and trim parts.

How out 1 to 4 it can be seen, the illustrated embodiment of a convertible comprises a rear seat 4 , which each side by a body side part 10 is limited, a back wall 3 , a folding top 8th and a tailgate 9 ,

According to the invention, the body side parts 10 each designed as cast components and each form a structural node 10A out, on which a safety belt 7 is attached.

How out 1 to 4 can be further seen, have the body side panels 10 one recording each 16 for a belt attachment 7.1 on. In the illustrated embodiment, the recording 16 for the belt attachment 7.1 designed as a threaded bore, in which a designed as a bolt Gurtbefestigung 7.1 is screwed.

As in particular from 1 it can be seen has the body side part shown 10 a wall area 10.1 and one perpendicular to the wall area 10.1 trained floor area 10.2 on. To reinforce the body side part are in the illustrated embodiment of the body side part 10 vertical and horizontal reinforcing ribs 12 . 14 educated. In alternative embodiments, not shown, the body side parts only vertically extending reinforcing ribs 12 or only horizontally extending reinforcing ribs 14 exhibit. How out 1 and 4 It can be seen further, the running as a threaded hole recording 16 for the belt attachment 7.1 at the first end area in the wall area 10.1 brought in.

How out 1 to 4 can be further seen, have the body side panels 10 at a first end portion of the wall portion 10.1 each a first connection 11 to a receiving shaft 5 a rollover protection system. Here, the first end portion of the wall portion 10.1 executed in the illustrated embodiment with an L-shaped cross-section, which the receiving shaft 5 embraces on two sides. How out 1 to 4 can be further seen, have the body side panels 10 at a second end portion of the wall portion 10.1 each a second connection 11 to a B-pillar 22 on. The second end of the wall area 10.1 has an L-shaped cross-section, which is the B-pillar 22 at least partially encompasses.

As in particular from 3 and 4 it can be seen, have the body side panels 10 at the bottom area 10.2 in each case a third connection 18 to a wheelhouse 20 on. How out 4 is further apparent, is between the illustrated body side part 10 and an outer skin 24 an outer side part 6 arranged, which is substantially parallel to the wall area 10.1 of the bodywork part 10 runs.
