Publication number: 20230097218Abstract: An assembly for a vehicle interior includes at least one armrest each presenting a receiving surface for the elbow and/or forearm of an occupant of the vehicle interior and a support for the armrest. Each armrest has a panel movable in translation relative to the support according to an elevation direction between a first position and a second position. For each armrest, the movable panel of that armrest includes an upper panel portion at least partially delimiting the receiving surface of that armrest extending in a first plane, and a side panel portion separate from the upper panel portion extending in a second plane, different from the first plane, the side panel portion having a heating element configured, when activated, to diffuse heat.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Cédric HABERT, Jérémy FLOC'H

Patent number: 11535176Abstract: A module trim element having a body defining an upper bearing surface, at least one first covering element defining a first upper bearing surface, mounted rotating about a first axis of rotation between a retracted position and at least one deployed position, and at least one second covering element defining a second upper bearing surface and mounted rotating about a second axis of rotation between a retracted position and at least one deployed position. The first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation are substantially parallel and extend at different heights relative to the body, with at least one of the upper bearing surfaces being a flexible surface and at least another one of the upper bearing surfaces being a rigid surface.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2020Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: FAURECIA INTERIEUR INDUSTRIEInventors: Benjamin Quesnel, Ludovic Bouldron, Cedric Habert, Stephane Snoeck, Edouard Da Silva, Stevenn Bideau

Patent number: 11420566Abstract: A trim element having a body and a covering element extending over part of the body. The covering element includes at least two substantially rigid panels connected to one another by a flexible branch forming a bending line of the panels relative to one another and fastened to the body by a fastening edge forming a hinge between the panels and the body, the covering element being deformable around the bending line. The covering element hinges between a retracted position, in which the panels of the covering element are pressed against the body, and a deployed position, in which the panels are moved away from the body, the covering element defining a storage volume with the body in the deployed position.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2019Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: FAURECIA INTERIEUR INDUSTRIEInventors: Cédric Habert, Alain Nguyen

Patent number: 8795459Abstract: A vehicle interior trim element has at least one substrate layer covered with a skin having an outer surface containing a plurality of asperities, regularly distributed on the outer surface. The outer surface of the skin defines an outer surface of the trim element that is visible within the vehicle interior. The trim element may be processed by applying a heat source on part of the outer surface forming a decorative area, the application of the heat source being arranged to at least reduce the height of the asperities in the decorative areas such that the decorative area has a different appearance from the rest of the outer surface.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2012Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Faurecia Interieur IndustrieInventors: Cédric Habert, Nicolas Pegorier, Jean Oeuvrard, Thierry Vourlat, Didier Ponthieu, Sébastien Diliberto

Patent number: 7997635Abstract: An opening/closing device includes a bistable device having a fixed member (24) delimiting one side of an opening providing access to a compartment, and a flexible mobile member (18), articulated on the fixed member proximate the ends of the access opening. The fixed and mobile members (24, 18) delimit jointly the entire access opening, and the mobile member (18) has two stable positions, one wherein it is adjacent to the fixed member (24), the other wherein only its ends are adjacent to the fixed member (24). The mobile member (18) is elongated and has naturally two stable positions with opposite convexities. The invention is applicable to vehicle passenger compartments.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2006Date of Patent: August 16, 2011Assignee: Faurecia Interieur IndustrieInventors: Tony Ercolano, Didier Ponthieu, Pascal Rumigny, Cédric Habert, Pierre Guerreiro, Guy Heriquet, Stéphane Dannenhoffer

Patent number: 6394002Abstract: A device for holding and articulating a removable rear shelf of a motor vehicle. The device has a support which is secured to the vehicle. The shelf is able to pivot relative to the support about an axis of rotation. The shelf is held relative to the support by a first portion arranged on the support and a second portion arranged on the shelf, which engage one another. The shelf can be detached by resilient deformation of the first and second portions.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2000Date of Patent: May 28, 2002Assignee: Sai Automotive Sommer IndustrieInventors: Christophe Blanchard, Cédric Habert
