Construction component with a longitudinally changing cross-section shape

Abstract

The invention concerns a construction component ( 1 ) profiled using roller profiling, with a profile cross-section changing in the longitudinal extent, wherein the profiled construction component includes a flange ( 4 ). The construction component having this shape is rigid and particularly easy to integrate into the vehicle body shell.

1 . A construction component ( 1 ) profiled using roller profiling, with a profile cross-section changing in the longitudinal direction, wherein the profiled construction component ( 1 ) includes a flange ( 4 ).  
   
   
       2 . The construction component ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the flange ( 4 ) extends over the length of the construction component ( 1 ), in particular over the area of the change in the profile cross-section.  
   
   
       3 . A construction component ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the construction component ( 1 ) is made of higher strength steel and/or of deep drawn steel and/or of a titanium alloy and/or of a nickel alloy and/or a light construction steel and/or a metal-containing composite material.  
   
   
       4 . A construction component ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the flange ( 4 ) of the construction component ( 1 ) has a constant width in the direction of its longitudinal extent.  
   
   
       5 . A construction component ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the flange ( 4 ) of the construction component ( 1 ) exhibits a reduced width in the area of the widened profile cross-section.  
   
   
       6 . A construction component ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the flange ( 4 ) of the construction component ( 1 ) exhibits a greater width in the area of the widened profile cross-section.  
   
   
       7 . A construction component ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one opening is provided in the construction component ( 1 ), with a shape and size adapted to allow an electrode welding rod to be applied through the opening.  
   
   
       8 . A construction component ( 1 ) according to  claim 1 , wherein the construction component ( 1 ) is produced by cold forming.
