ABSTRACT:
A vehicle door frame has at least three, preferably four frame members (2, 3, 4, 5, or 2', 3', 4', 5') made of hollow tubular stock having a uniform cross-section substantially along the entire length, either of each individual frame member or along the entire frame, that forms a closed frame if four frame members are provided. Thus, the individual frame members or an entire frame length can be cut from extruded or rolled tubular stock having a uniform closed cross-section along its entire length. Hinges, having sections connected to the door frame permit mounting the entire door through its frame to the vehicle body. The frame forms a carrier for a door outer skin (31) and a door inner cover (30) and other door components, e.g. hinges and a lock. The door frame also forms a guide cage for a window pane (29). At least one frame member has a uniform cross-section substantially along its entire length and at least that frame member is cut from closed rectangular hollow tubular stock having a cross-section.
