Door shell for a motor vehicle door, profile frame for a door shell and process for the production of a profile frame for a door shell
First Claim
1. A door shell for a motor vehicle door with a one-piece or multi-piece profile frame (12) of metal characterized in that the profile frame (12) has a profile cross-section changing over the length of the profile frame (12) at least in sections, in particular in the region of an edge of the door shell running essentially vertically.

Abstract
A door shell for a motor vehicle door with a one-piece or multi-piece profile frame of metal. The profile frame has a profile cross-section changing over the length of the profile frame at least in sections, in particular in the region of an edge of the door shell running essentially vertically. Preferably the profile frame has a hollow chamber and in particular this hollow chamber has a profile cross-section that changes over the length of the profile frame. Further preferably the profile frame is designed as an extruded profile of a light metal or light metal compound, in particular aluminium or an aluminium compound, as a tube of a light metal or light metal compound, in particular aluminium or an aluminium compound welded on a longitudinal seam, as a tube of steel welded on a longitudinal seam or as a tube of steel produced seamless. The profile cross-section of the profile frame is adapted to and follows the form of the inside door panel.

- 15. A profile frame for a door shell of a motor vehicle door with a hollow chamber (10) running over its length, wherein the profile frame (12) has a profile cross-section changing over the length of the profile frame (12) at least in sections, in particular in the region where the profile frame (12) when mounted in a door shell or a motor vehicle will follow an edge of the door shell running essentially vertically.
- 22. A process for the production of a door shell for a motor vehicle door, in which an inner door panel is first produced in an appropriate manner, in particular is pressed into its final shape from sheet metal, characterized in that the profile frame is produced as a one-piece or a multi-piece part from metal, the profile frame is formed with a profile cross-section changing over the length of the profile frame at least in sections, in particular in the region of an edge of the door shell running essentially vertically, which cross-section is largely matched to the shape of the inner door panel in the corresponding region, and the profile frame is finally assembled and jointed to the inner door panel.
