Abstract: A device for controlling an air flow in a motor vehicle compartment. The device includes: a frame defining an opening; a plurality of slats extending across the frame, arranged above one another; and an actuator connected to each of the slats by a respective fastener. Each slat extends in a respective air deflection plane, and is movable via the actuator, between: a closed position, in which the slats cooperate with one another to block the passage of the air through the opening, and an open position, in which the slats allow the air to flow through the opening, the deflection planes of the slats intersecting upstream from the frame. Each fastener is mounted rotatably only on the actuator, around a respective actuating axis.

Abstract: Vehicle body element including: a translucent body (20), a holder body (22) intended to sustain the translucent body (20) to the vehicle, forming an enclosure (32), and a light system (24) extending in the enclosure (32), adapted to diffuse light through the translucent body (20). The translucent body (20) has a constant thickness and is made of a partially opaque material being arranged to let the light emitted by the light system (24) pass through the translucent body (20) when the light system (24) is turned on, the partially opaque material having a light transmittance chosen so that the quantity of natural light passing through the translucent body (20), reflecting on the light system (24) and passing back through the translucent body (20) is sufficiently low to blank the light system (24) when the light system (24) is switched off.
