Abstract
A vehicle door intrusion beam having a hollow cross-sectional configuration with less weight, greater flexibility and improved impact resistance. The beam body is formed of a single piece of material by roll forming a tubular blank to the desired cross-sectional configuration. End brackets secured to or integrally formed with the beam body mount the beam to the door assembly while also facilitating absorption of impacts. Corrugations may be added to the end brackets for additional impact absorption. Various hollow cross-sectional configurations are contemplated for the beam body including a single-piece with a closed I-beam configuration.
