Description

The invention relates to mounting points on a vehicle body series for holding detachable connection parts according to the upper Concept of claim 1.

On well-known vehicle bodies are connection and Pick-up points in the manner of recesses, connecting pins or tabs available to connect detachable to serve closing parts. In particular, these are hanger recordings points for vehicle assembly, lashing points for attachment closure of transport brackets, jack lifting points to Positioning a jack and straightening bench mounting points for Fixing the body on a straightening bench.

In conventional vehicle bodies, all of these are connection points te executed differently and are due to different geometric locations. Usually there are four ent speaking and assigned recording and connection points of a Art needed distributed on the body, and the manufac This multitude of such points can be seen dig.

It has therefore already been proposed (DE-OS 30 40 989) an opening with a circular cross-section as a suspension mount in a multiple function also for attaching a jack to use. To do this, a jack with a special support arm construction, especially with a specially trained  ten spigot proposed. Adapting to the before available, circular suspension for the additional ver application for a jack is therefore here in the special, complex construction of the jack leads.

It is also known (DE-PS 36 30 735), with bodies sleeve-shaped receptacles for attaching a corresponding ge shaped the pin of a jack, these shots also for Fasten a transport harness to use. Such one Transport crockery consists of side members and side branches inserting mandrels for insertion into the sleeve-shaped Body pivots. One is evident Transport dishes designed much more complex than that Usually used lashing ropes and lashing chains, the hook-shaped ends of which are not suitable are only attached to jack-shaped jacks men to be connected.

A known version of a lashing point for connection of lashing chains for the transport of a vehicle Trucks or railroad cars (EP 00 86 027 A2) be stands from a double-walled sheet metal tab with an additional thorn in an area below the rear bumper gers. This prior art is intended to demonstrate that only elaborate devices for transport be prak for the continued operation of the vehicle table no longer have a function and are no longer needed the.

It is also known (DE-PS 35 32 375), on the underside the holes in the side rails and there dimensionally stable, hat-shaped spacers made of elastic mate rial to be used to attach a lift arm nen. This is the direct contact of a lift arm avoided with the painted sheet material of the side member, so that the risk of damage from improperly indicated set lift arms is reduced. Such spacers  apparently should already be used in vehicle assembly and always remain on the vehicle. This measure is required thus in addition to the connection point mentioned above ten further recesses on the side member. A multiple benefit such recesses or spacers for additional Purpose is not provided.

In summary, it should be noted that with conventional vehicles bodies a variety of different connection points and recordings in the area of the underside of the body, esp in particular on the side members. In addition to the high Effort in the production of all of these connection options There is also a risk of confusion. For example se it is known that confusion occurs when lashing ten and lashing ropes are not in themselves intended for this seen recordings are hung, causing damage to the Longitudinal beams can lead. With unfavorable geometric opposites There is also the danger that improper hand Damage to chassis or exhaust parts.

The object of the invention is to pick up points on a driving to propose a body that is simple suitable for connecting different, detachable connecting parts are not.

This object is achieved with the features of claim 1.

According to claim 1, less, preferably only four, recording points provided as multi-function points that for connection of all usually required connecting parts le, especially as lashing, jack jack, hanger reception and straightening bench reception points are suitable. The preferably four pickup points are in pairs offset against each other in the longitudinal direction on one vehicle each outer side member arranged.

The connection points are assigned as recesses in the Side members made with a circular one  Form deviating form, especially with a larger Er Extension of the recess in one length and a smaller one Extension in a width.

Such an arrangement and shape of the connection points enables both simple, fast connections such. B. the start a jack or hooking up for lashing chains or hanger shots, as well as precise, stable connection as required when connecting to a straightening bench are.

This can reduce the total number of recording points be, resulting in a cheaper manufacture of the checks series leads. In addition, the number of recesses in Longitudinal beams and thus the number of weak points Lich strength and corrosion reduced.

Easy to manufacture and well suited for multifunction is the slot shape proposed with claim 2 from Take with straight long sides and arched broad egg In principle, however, other, irregular For men that deviate from the circular shape, usable, such as oval, horseshoe-shaped, dovetail-shaped or similar recess forms of expression.

With claim 3 is a conical at the edge of the recess Proposed reinforcing collar inside. The This reinforcing collar serves to stiffen and increase the Strength of the pick-up points, especially with one Transport lashing or great strength on a straightening bench that cannot cause deformation or damage things are allowed.

Such a reinforcing collar is simple according to claim 4 and practically without additional effort in a casting Side rail part can be produced. Such an execution is thus in particular with a support structure known per se for a body can be used, made from light alloy extrusion professionals  len and cast node elements is built. Here you can too a further reinforcement additionally radially from the reinforcement Kungskragen protruding reinforcing ribs may be provided.

To increase the stability around the respective recess, see above that great forces can be absorbed and applied here NEN, is proposed with claim 5, at the recess a reinforcement plate by welding and / or screwing and / or glue to attach. This reinforcement plate has the same hole pattern as the recess. With a sheet metal con Structure is useful here with a reinforcement plate double the wall.

A similar reinforcement is used when running the longitudinal support part as a casting with claim 6 by a plate Proposed material thickening in the area of the receptacle gene, which also serves to improve the rigidity. The reinforcement plate or the material thickening can be on be attached to the inside or outside of the beam.

The reinforcing plate or material ver Thickening on the inside of the beam for optical reasons appropriate. According to claim 7 is an advantageous to sentence function possible, in which a support part or a nut the reinforcement plate or the mate on the inside of the beam rial thickening and thereby secured against twisting is.

The pickup point according to the invention is for connecting a Car jack suitable in such a way that according to claim 8 Plastic bracket can be clipped into the recess, that the plastic bracket the recess edge or the reinforcement kungskragenrand with a springy nose and otherwise the recess fills. The plastic frame contains a hole that expediently circular and sleeve-shaped leads, so that a conventional cylindrical connecting pin a jack can be inserted. Through art Stoffbock becomes a bracket and centering of the jack  pin reached in the larger opening. In addition, the direct contact of a jack with painted sheet metal parts avoided, so that the risk of loading damage caused by using a jack is reduced becomes.

To support the lifting force, it is necessary that the Plastic bracket with the recess from the outside overlaps a protruding edge area. When executing shape with conical reinforcement the lifting force can also be removed from the conical bevel are supported, so that the plastic trestle streamlined here can be flush with the outer skin.

Such plastic trestles can be delivered to the vehicle to the seller always remain on the vehicle only when needed, e.g. B. in a workshop at bench bench removed again.

The hole for inserting a jack pin can be in advantageously carried out automatically lockable be so that, for example, the longitudinal member inner area at unused jack is tightly closed. A such a closure can with a spring-loaded cover are produced, which are preferably attached to the plastic trestle is formed and when the jack pin is pushed in is pressed.

The connection point according to the invention is also according to claim 9 for quick and easy attachment with a strap suitable device, the corresponding connection is designed as a T-hook. The horizontal T-bar is its length is less than the longitudinal extent of the Recess, but larger than the width of the recess. This makes it possible to lengthen this T-beam insert the recess and after twisting from the back side of the recess forth on train. If the lashing tion, e.g. B. constantly kept on train by additional springs  the T-beam cannot turn back and cannot turn off fall out of the recess. Such an attachment is included means can be carried out quickly, easily and safely.

The pickup point according to the invention is in another radio tion is also good for transferring benchmark strengths to Vehicle body suitable. A connection must be stable and carried out precisely. For this purpose, according to claim 10 proposed a releasable fastening device, the one includes threaded bolts that can be inserted into the recess. At the insertable end of the threaded bolt is in the bolt a transverse support, in particular an elongated Support plate or support bar, attached. This is shorter than the length of the recess, but longer than the width the recess. So that the support in the recess be introduced and after twisting from behind on Edge area of the recess to be brought into contact. At the Threaded bolt is also a twistable nut seen that overlaps the recess from the outside and the screwed against the edge region of the recess is.

So that the threaded bolt is at the edge of the recess fixable, with the edge area between the back horizontal support and the screw screwed on from the front the mother is jammed. With a correspondingly strong Di dimensioning of the fastening device can be great dir bankers are transferred.

A precise location of the fastening device or of the bolt inside the recess is with the Features of claim 11 or claim 12 achieved by inside the recess or the reinforcing collar Intermediate part is inserted in the shape of the recess that just a hole in the diameter of the bolt contains.  

Exemplary embodiments of the invention are illustrated by a drawing with further features, details and advantages explained.
