ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle scuttle-dash instrument panel component of plastics material having an integrated ventilating and heating unit comprising (i) a first part extending between the inner walls of the motor vehicle bodywork and having integrally formed hollows and walls adapted to receive components of the ventilating and heating unit, (ii) a second part likewise extending between inner walls with correspondingly matching shaped hollows and walls. When the two parts are adjacent they form together a unit having spaces and channels of a specific shape. The first and second parts can be inserted in the bodywork as a pre-assembled structural member supplemented by the corresponding components of the ventilating and heating unit and additional covering elements and being connected to the bodywork by way of lateral flanges. Both the first part (2) and the second part (3) are constructed as fibre-reinforced rigid polyurethane foam-material moulded articles, being securely joined to one another by adhesive in their peripheral regions along a substantially horizontal junction plane (6) to form a box-like transverse support member which cooperates in force-transmitting manner with the bodywork structure by way of the aforesaid lateral flanges, e.g., bead or wedge-shaped edges ( 8 and 9) which are formed on the lateral edges of the support member lying in the approximately horizontal junction plane (6). The lateral flanges are received and secured by adhesive approximately horizontally in guide channels (10) which have an appropriate cross-section and are provided on the inner wall (11) of the bodywork.
