Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0170558A1] The invention aims at reducing space requirement caused by the presence, in a common site, structural means for air distribution and optionally electric cable bundles, for example beneath the floor on board a vehicle, without incurring heat losses. In order to achieve this, the invention provides a structural crossbeam (1) having a hollow internal space capable of transporting filtered air and functional cutouts, wherein at least a transverse duct is formed by an extruded plastic profile locally overmoulded around the cutouts provided for various functions. The duct and the over-mouldings can advantageously, at least partly, be made of a pultruded composite material comprising fibres embedded in a binder resin. The over-mouldings (3, 20, 21, 25) of the duct (8) preferably have rigidifying ribs (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d).
