Abstract:

In one embodiment, a reinforcement insert for a door of a vehicle is provided. The insert includes a door beam for attachment to a door assembly such that the door beam spans a width of the door assembly. The insert also includes a transverse support beam coupled to the door beam that extends substantially parallel to the door beam. The insert further includes a plurality of front support beams coupled to the door beam and transverse support beam that are configured to transfer a frontal impact force into the door beam and transverse support beam. The insert also includes a plurality of rear support beams coupled to the door beam and transverse support beam that are configured to transfer the frontal impact force away from the door beam and transverse support beam.
