Central floor part of a vehicle body
View Patent ↗A central floor part of a floor assembly of a vehicle body is formed as a unipartite cast part which is delimited at the outer side of the body by in each case one sill profile. Alternatively the unipartite cast part can be two cast parts connected to each other by a vehicle tunnel disposed between the inner sides of the two cast parts.
1. A floor assembly of a vehicle body, comprising:
transversely spaced sill profiles running in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body; and
a unitary cast part extending between the sill profiles and having outer flanges joined respectively in substantially face to face relationship with said sill profiles, said cast part being formed from magnesium and having a central tunnel, left and right central floor parts extending respectively from the outer flanges to the central tunnel, transverse seat supports projecting up from the central floor parts and extending transverse to the longitudinal direction across the respective central floor parts between said central tunnel and the respective outer flanges at the corresponding sill profiles, outer reinforcement ribs projecting up from the central floor parts and extending between the respective central floor parts and the outer flanges and inner reinforcement ribs spaced from the outer reinforcement ribs and projecting up from the central floor parts, the inner reinforcement ribs extending between the central floor parts and said central tunnel.
2. The floor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein each of the transverse seat supports of said cast part contains at least one screw-on point for attaching a seat.
3. The floor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said cast part has the reinforcement ribs at least in regions forward and rearward of the transverse seat supports.
4. The floor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said cast part is at least partially powder-coated.
5. The floor assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising adhesive securing the outer flanges to the sill profiles.
6. The floor assembly according to claim 5 , further comprising at least one screw connection between the cast parts and the sill profiles.
7. The floor assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the transverse seat supports comprise front and rear transverse seat supports on each of the central floor parts.
8. The floor assembly of claim 7 , wherein the outer reinforcement ribs comprise at least one outer reinforcement rib between the front and rear transverse seat supports and the inner reinforcement ribs comprise at least one inner reinforcement rib between the front and rear transverse seat supports.
9. A floor assembly of a vehicle body, comprising:
left and right sill profiles running in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body;
a tunnel extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body at a location intermediate the sill profiles; and
left and right unitary cast parts extending respectively between the tunnel and said left and right sill profiles, said cast parts being formed from magnesium and each having a central floor part, an outer flange in face to face relationship to the respective sill profile, and inner flange in face-to-face relationship to the tunnel, at least one transverse seat support running across the respective central floor part from the inner flange to the outer flange and transverse to the sill profiles, outer reinforcement ribs projecting up from the central floor part and extending from the central floor part to the outer flange and inner reinforcement ribs spaced from the outer reinforcement ribs and projecting up from the central floor part, the inner reinforcement ribs extending from the central floor part to the inner flange.
10. The floor assembly according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one transverse seat support comprises two transverse seat supports on each of the cast parts, each of the transverse seat supports of each of said cast parts contains a screw-on point for attaching a seat.
11. The floor assembly according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one transverse seat support comprises two transverse seat supports on each of the cast parts, each of said cast parts has the reinforcement ribs at least in regions forward and rearward of the transverse seat supports.
12. The floor assembly according to claim 9 , wherein said cast parts are at least partially powder-coated.
13. The floor assembly according to claim 9 , further comprising adhesive securing the outer flanges to the sill profiles.
14. The floor assembly according to claim 13 , further comprising at least one screw connection between the cast parts and the sill profiles.
15. The floor assembly according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one transverse seat supports comprises front and rear transverse seat supports on each of the central floor parts.
16. The floor assembly of claim 15 , wherein the outer reinforcement ribs comprise at least one outer reinforcement rib between the front and rear transverse seat supports and the inner reinforcement ribs comprise at least one inner reinforcement rib between the front and rear transverse seat supports.
