Assembly having two roof frame elements, roof frame and a vehicle roof of a motor vehicle
An assembly for a roof of a motor vehicle having two roof frame elements. The two roof frame elements are arranged in such a way relative to one another that a region of overlap is formed, in which the two roof frame elements overlap one another, a plastic jacket, which covers the region of overlap and seals off the region of overlap, wherein the following are formed along the region of overlap in a manner offset with respect to one another: a joining location, at which the two roof frame elements are connected to one another and which is covered by the plastic jacket to seal off the joining location, an adhesive bonding location, which is formed on an outer side of the plastic jacket, for the application of an adhesive.
1. An assembly for two roof frame elements for a vehicle roof of a motor vehicle comprising:
the two roof frame elements are arranged relative to one another that a region of overlap is formed at offset end regions, in which the two roof frame elements overlap one another, and a plastic jacket, which covers the region of overlap and seals off the region of overlap,
wherein the following are formed along the region of overlap in a manner offset with respect to one another:
a joining location, at which the two roof frame elements are connected to one another and which is covered by the plastic jacket in order to seal off the joining location, an adhesive bonding location, which is formed on an inner side of the plastic jacket, for the application of an adhesive, and
in an adjoining region of the first roof frame element which immediately adjoins the region of overlap, a surface of the adjoining region is formed in the same plane as a surface of the adhesive bonding location in the Z direction.
2. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the following are formed along the region of overlap in a manner offset with respect to the joining location and the adhesive bonding location: a sealing location, which is formed on an inner side of the plastic jacket, for the application of a seal.
3. The assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the two roof frame elements each have a surface outside the region of overlap, wherein the inner side of the plastic jacket and the surfaces of the roof frame elements adjoin one another in a flush manner at the adhesive bonding location and the sealing location.
4. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the region of overlap is arranged transversely to the two main directions of extent (X, Z) of the region of overlap in a manner offset with respect to adjoining regions of the roof frame elements.
5. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the following are formed along the region of overlap in a manner offset with respect to the joining location and the adhesive bonding location: a further adhesive bonding location which is formed on an outer side of the plastic jacket, for the application of a further adhesive, wherein the outer inner side and the outer side are situated opposite one another.
6. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the roof frame elements are connected at least one of positively and materially to one another.
7. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the roof frame elements each comprise coated steel sheet.
8. The assembly according to claim 1 wherein the plastic jacket is formed from a cured polyurethane.
9. A roof frame for a vehicle roof of a motor vehicle, comprising: an assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the adhesive extends transversely to the region of overlap from one of the roof frame elements, along the adhesive bonding location, to the other of the roof frame elements.
10. The roof frame according to claim 9 , further comprising a cover, which is connected to the assembly by means of a further adhesive.
11. The roof frame according to claim 9 , further comprising a seal, wherein the seal extends transversely to the region of overlap from one of the roof frame elements, along the sealing location, to the other of the roof frame elements.
12. The roof frame according to claim 9 , wherein a further adhesive extends transversely to the region of overlap from one of the roof frame elements, along the further adhesive bonding location, to the other of the roof frame elements.
13. A roof for a motor vehicle, having a roof frame according to claim 9 , wherein the roof frame is connected to a body of the motor vehicle by a further adhesive.
