Abstract

A bearing structure of a motor vehicle has at least two opposite node elements. Each of the node elements has at least one longitudinal beam segment and one transverse beam connection. A transverse beam joins the transverse beam connections to each other. A profiled transverse beam segment emerges from each transverse beam connection. The transverse beam segments are joined together by a glue connection in an overlap segment, and at least one open beam profile is set thereon to form the transverse beam.

Claims (9)

1. A bearing structure of a motor vehicle, the bearing structure comprising:

at least two opposite node elements each having at least one longitudinal beam segment and one transverse beam connection;

profiled transverse beam segments each emerging from one of said profiled transverse beam connections, said profiled transverse beam segments being joined together by a glue connection in an overlap segment of said profiled transverse beam segments, said profiled transverse beam segments having rib structures emerging from said profiled transverse beam segments in said overlap segment and mesh together like a comb; and

at least one open beam profile disposed on said profiled transverse beam segments and together forming a transverse beam, said transverse beam joining said transverse beam connections to each other.

2. The bearing structure according to claim 1 , wherein said profiled transverse beam segments have reinforcement structures in said overlap segment, said reinforcement structures including said rib structures.

3. The bearing structure according to claim 2 , wherein said reinforcement structures are each configured as one of a solid profile and as embossed beads.

4. The bearing structure according to claim 1 , wherein said rib structures are each configured as one of a solid profile and as embossed beads.

5. The bearing structure according to claim 2 , wherein said reinforcement structures are glued together.

6. The bearing structure according to claim 1 , wherein said rib structures are glued together.
