    Abstract: An exemplary reinforcing element (104) may be configured to be received within a longitudinally extending cavity (C) defined by a structure (102). The reinforcing element may include a base portion (106) having a bonding material (108, 160) applied thereon, and a member (110, 150) selectively secured to the base portion and configured to selectively extend away from the base portion when the reinforcing element is received within the cavity. Accordingly, the reinforcing element may define a first length (L1) when the member is in a first position with respect to the base portion, and a second length (L1+L2) when the member is in a second position extending away from the base portion, the second length being greater than the first length. The selectively extending arrangement of the reinforcing element may generally allow improved ease and accuracy of installing the reinforcing element within a generally closed structure.

    Abstract translation: 示例性的增强元件(104)可被配置为容纳在由结构(102)限定的纵向延伸空腔(C)内。 加强元件可以包括其上施加有接合材料(108,160)的基部(106)和选择性地固定到基部并且构造成当加强件(108,116)选择性地延伸离开基部时, 元件被容纳在腔内。 因此,当构件相对于基部处于第一位置时,加强元件可以限定第一长度(L1),并且当构件处于远离基部的第二位置时的第二长度(L1 + L2) 第二长度大于第一长度。 加强元件的选择性延伸布置通常可以使加强元件安装在通常封闭的结构内的改善的容易性和准确性。
