Abstract

The sill cover of the vehicle is constructed as a folding component part and in its folded down state has the function of a running board. Devices are provided to lock the sill cover in its folded up and/or folded down state. The movement of the sill cover is effected by a mechanism inside the vehicle or by hand.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kraftfahrzeug gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.

Es ist bereits bekannt, daß bei Personenkraftwagen eine Schwellerverkleidung im Einstiegsbereich ausgebildet ist. Ferner gibt es geländegängige Kraftfahrzeuge, die vor dem Einstiegsbereich ein Trittbrett oder dergleichen aufweisen. Oberhalb des Trittbrettes befindet sich ein Türschweller. Während der Fahrt im Gelände kann es zu einer Verschmutzung eines solchen Trittbrettes kommen, so daß der Schmutz des Trittbrettes in den Fahrzeuginnenraum getragen werden kann.It is already known that in passenger cars a sill trim in Entry area is trained. There are also off-road vehicles that have a running board or the like in front of the boarding area. Above the Running boards there is a door sill. While driving off-road it can such a running board become dirty, so that the dirt of the running board can be carried into the vehicle interior.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Kraftfahrzeug zu schaffen, bei dem ein am Kraftfahrzeug befindliches Trittbrett vor Verschmutzung schützbar ist.The object of the invention is to provide a motor vehicle in which a Motor vehicle footboard can be protected from contamination.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung einer klappbaren Schwellerverkleidung ist die Schwellerverkleidung im eingeklappten Zustand die Außenhaut der Karosserie und im ausgeklappten Zustand als ein Trittbrett ausgebildet. Die Klappbewegung der Schwellerverkleidung kann vorteilhafterweise in dem im Kraftfahrzeug vorhandenen Schließsystem so integriert sein, daß bei einer Betätigung des Schließsystems über einen Fahrzeugschlüssel oder eine Fernbedienung die Schwellerverkleidung in den gewünschten Zustand geklappt werden kann. Zusätzlich oder alternativ dazu kann die Klappbewegung der Schwellerverkleidung auch manuell erfolgen.Due to the inventive design of a foldable sill panel the sill panel, when folded, the outer skin of the body and designed as a footboard when unfolded. The folding movement of the Sill paneling can advantageously be provided in the vehicle Locking system be integrated so that when the locking system is actuated  a car key or a remote control the rocker panel in the desired state can be folded. Additionally or alternatively, can the folding movement of the rocker panel can also be done manually.

Die klappbare Ausführung einer Schwellerverkleidung hat den Vorteil, daß während der Fahrt durch eine eingeklappte Schwellerverkleidung der Luftwiderstand geringer ist als bei einem ausgeklappten oder feststehenden Trittbrett. Ferner ermöglicht die erfindungsgemäße Schwellerverkleidung eine Bauraumeinsparung, so daß der erfindungsgemäße Schweller weiter außen liegen kann.The foldable design of a rocker panel has the advantage that during when driving through a folded sill panel, the air resistance is lower is like a folded or fixed footboard. Furthermore, the sill panel according to the invention a space saving, so that the sill according to the invention may be further outside.

In der Regel ist ein Klappmechanismus vorgesehen, der im ausgeklappten Zustand der Schwellerverkleidung die möglichen Gewichtsbelastungen einer auf dem Trittbrett stehenden Person aufnimmt. Ferner sind Mittel vorgesehen, die eine Arretierung der Schwellerverkleidung im ausgeklappten und im eingeklappten Zustand herstellen.As a rule, a folding mechanism is provided, which in the unfolded state the sill paneling the possible weight loads on the Person is standing on the running board. Means are also provided which Locking the rocker panel in the unfolded and in the folded Establish condition.
