Abstract

A bracket (2) is provided for fastening to a bodyshell structure (6) of a motor vehicle. The bracket (2) is a bar that is bent to define first and second end sections (10, 28), first and second arcuate sections (11, 19) and a central section (18). The first end section (10) merges into the first arcuate section (11), the first arcuate section (11) merges into the central section (18), the central section (18) merges into the second arcuate section (19), and the second arcuate section (19) merges into a second end section (28). The end sections (10, 28) are parallel, and the central section (18) is perpendicular to the end sections (10, 28). Each arcuate section (11, 19) has plural partially arcuate sections (12, 14, 16, 20, 22, 24, 26), including one that is parallel to the central section (18).
