Title: Method and device for reinforcing a hollow section with a sealed periphery
Inventor: KOELLN JOERG
IPC: B21D26/035
Filed: 2004-11-10
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for reinforcing a hollow section (1, 24) with a sealed periphery. According to the invention, an opening (2) is created in the periphery of said section and a reinforcement component that has been introduced into the interior (8, 25) of the hollow section is joined to the opposite wall (11, 27) of the hollow section from the opening (2). The aim of the invention is to obtain a reinforcement of the hollow profile (1, 24) in the least complex manner. To achieve this, a wall section (7, 23) of the hollow profile (1, 24) that forms the reinforcement component is cut from the location of the opening (2) that is to be created up to a peripheral zone. The wall section (7, 23), which continues in one piece from the edge (9) of the opening is bent into the hollow section (1, 24), thus forming the opening (2). The length of the wall section (7, 23) is proportioned in relation to the width of the hollow section (1, 24) in such a way that the free end (10, 26) of the wall piece (7, 23) at least comes into contact with the opposite wall (11, 27) of the hollow section and said free end (10, 26) is subsequently joined to the wall (11, 27).
