Abstract

Claims (31)

1. A longitudinal member for a rear part of a motor vehicle, comprising:

an attachment region, in which a mounting for a damper device that dampens vibrations of a wheel of the motor vehicle is fastenable to the longitudinal member, wherein

the attachment region has a plurality of fastening points for connecting elements,

the fastening points have respective receiving openings, into which a respective section of one of the connecting elements is insertable to fix the mounting in the attachment region, wherein central axes of the receiving openings extend substantially in a transverse direction of the longitudinal member, and

a support element of the longitudinal member, wherein the support element is arranged above the fastening points in a vertical direction of the longitudinal member, and on which support element the damper device is supportable in a lifting direction.

2. The longitudinal member according to claim 1 , wherein

the support element is formed integrally with the longitudinal member.

3. The longitudinal member according to claim 2 , wherein

the support element is formed integrally with the longitudinal member as a cast component.

4. The longitudinal member according to claim 1 , wherein

the support element has a plate-shaped central region which, in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal member, is arranged between the fastening points.

5. The longitudinal member according to claim 4 , wherein

a passage opening, into which an extension at an end of the damper device is insertable, is formed in the central region.

6. The longitudinal member according to claim 1 , wherein

the receiving openings of the fastening points are formed in respective receiving bushes, which receiving bushes protrude from a side wall of the longitudinal member in the transverse direction of the longitudinal member.

7. The longitudinal member according to claim 6 , wherein

the receiving bushes are formed integrally with the longitudinal member.

8. The longitudinal member according to claim 7 , wherein

the receiving bushes each have a respective screw thread.

9. The longitudinal member according to claim 6 , wherein

the support element has plate-shaped edge regions, wherein a first edge region is supported on a first receiving bush, and a second edge region is supported on a second receiving bush.

10. The longitudinal member according to claim 9 , wherein

the first and second edge regions are formed integrally with the respective first and second receiving bushes.

11. The longitudinal member according to claim 9 , wherein

at least two of the receiving bushes connected to each other in a contact region are arranged one above another in the vertical direction of the longitudinal member, underneath the respective side edge region.

12. The longitudinal member according to claim 6 , wherein

at least one of the receiving bushes is supported via at least one rib on the side wall of the longitudinal member.

13. A rear part for a motor vehicle, comprising:

at least one longitudinal member according to claim 1 ; and

a wheel arch, which is fastened to the longitudinal member, wherein,

in a direction of a vehicle vertical axis, the support element of the longitudinal member is spaced further apart from an upper end region of the wheel arch than from a lower end region of the wheel arch.
