Abstract

The invention relates to a dashboard support for holding an attachment by means of a connecting element, which has a fastening leg, in a motor vehicle, having: at least one tubular crossmember having a tube wall, in which a plateau-shaped bulge is formed, wherein the plateau-shaped bulge comprises a mounting section for mounting the connecting element, wherein an aperture for receiving the fastening leg is formed in the tube wall adjacent to the mounting section.

Claims (20)

1. A dashboard support comprising:

a connecting element that includes a first fastening leg, in a motor vehicle; and

at least one tubular cross-member having a tube wall, in which a plateau-shaped bulge is formed, wherein the plateau-shaped bulge comprises a mounting section configured to receive the connecting element, wherein the tube wall adjacent to the mounting section includes an aperture that is configured to receive the first fastening leg.

2. The dashboard support as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mounting section is flattened or forms a mounting plane.

3. The dashboard support as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the aperture is formed in a side wall of the plateau-shaped bulge.

4. The dashboard support as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tube wall includes a transverse slot having a transverse slot edge away from the mounting section and a transverse slot edge toward the mounting section,

wherein the transverse slot pierces the tube wall between the mounting section and a section of the tube wall,

wherein the transverse slot edge away from the mounting section is lower than the transverse slot edge toward the mounting section, and

wherein the aperture is formed between the transverse slot edge toward the mounting section and the transverse slot edge away from the mounting section.

5. The dashboard support as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tube wall includes a section that (a) is pressed in at the transverse slot edge away from the mounting section or (b) has a depression.

6. The dashboard support as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the transverse slot edge toward the mounting section is configured to be gripped by the connecting element.

7. The dashboard support as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the transverse slot is delimited by opposite openings.

8. The dashboard support as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mounting section further includes an aperture.

9. The dashboard support as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connecting element is one of a snap nut and a clip nut.

10. The dashboard support as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connecting element comprises a second fastening leg configured to rest on the mounting section and to positively lock the first fastening leg in the aperture.

11. The dashboard support as claimed in claim 1 , comprising one of an attachment and an attachment holder, wherein the one of the attachment and the attachment holder is configured to connect to the connecting element.

12. The dashboard support as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cross-member is arranged between opposite A-pillars of a motor vehicle.

13. The dashboard support as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the aperture is a slotted hole.

14. The dashboard support as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the aperture is configured to receive a fastening bolt.

15. The dashboard support as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first fastening leg is configured to passes through the aperture.
