Insbesondere bei Kraftfahrzeugen mit einem an der Heckklappe befestigten Antrieb zur automatischen Betätigung der Heckklappe ist es erforderlich, daß die Scharniere höhere Belastungen aufnehmen müssen, als vergleichbare Standardscharniere für Heckklappen ohne einen derartigen Antrieb. Es ist daher bereits vorgeschlagen worden, die üblichen Standardscharniere durch geschmiedete Scharniere hoher Festigkeit oder durch Scharniere mit größeren Querschnitten zu ersetzen. Aus der US 1 363 370 ist zudem ein Scharnier bekannt, dass mit einer gattungsgemäßen Scharnierverstörkung versehen ist.In particular, in motor vehicles with an attached to the tailgate drive for automatic operation of the tailgate, it is necessary that the hinges must absorb higher loads, than comparable standard hinges for tailgates without such a drive. It has therefore already been proposed to replace the usual standard hinges with forged hinges of high strength or hinges with larger cross-sections. From the US 1 363 370 In addition, a hinge is known that is provided with a generic Scharnierverstörkung.

Nachteilig ist bei derartigen Lösungen unter anderem, daß sie relativ kostenaufwendige Maßnahmen erfordern. Außerdem müssen diese Scharniere aufgrund ihrer Baugröße und des möglichen unterschiedlichen Ausdrehverhaltens bereits bei der Entwicklung des Fahrzeuges berücksichtigt werden.A disadvantage of such solutions, inter alia, that they require relatively expensive measures. In addition, these hinges due to their size and the possible different Ausdrehverhaltens already be taken into account in the development of the vehicle.

Aus der JP 06344774 A und der JP 10203170 A ist es bereits bekannt, zur Aufnahme höherer Belastungen von Heckklappenscharnieren eine Versteifung im Bereich der Scharnierbefestigung mit der Karosserie vorzunehmen. Diese Maßnahmen müssen ebenfalls bereits beim Bau der Karosserie berücksichtigt werden.From the JP 06344774 A and the JP 10203170 A It is already known to make a stiffening in the hinge mounting to the body to accommodate higher loads of tailgate hinges. These measures must also be taken into account in the construction of the body.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Scharnierverstärkung zu offenbaren, die es ermöglicht, auch bei automatisch betätigbaren Fahrzeugtüren kostengünstige Standardscharniere zu verwenden, ohne daß hierzu aufwendige Maßnahmen an der Fahrzeugkarosserie vorgesehen werden müssen.The invention has for its object to disclose a hinge reinforcement, which makes it possible to use cost-effective standard hinges even with automatically operable vehicle doors, without the need for elaborate measures must be provided on the vehicle body.
