Patent number: 8769872Abstract: A device is provided for sealing an opening made in a structure, including a fixed panel in which an opening is defined, and at least one sliding panel, including: two shuttles respectively guided in two guiding rails mounted and/or formed on the surface of the fixed panel facing the inside of the vehicle and a frame supporting at least two guiding pins respectively engaging with each one of the shuttles. The shuttles include guides for guiding the pins, enabling a transverse movement of the frame relative to the shuttles. An actuator acts directly or indirectly on the shuttles in order to move the latter in the rails, causing the sliding panel to move in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the fixed panel. The device also synchronizes the actuator so as to synchronize the movement of the shuttles.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2010Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Advanced Comfort Systems France SAS-ACS FranceInventors: Guy Maltaverne, Serge Gerbeau, Frederic Giret, Mickael Desbois

Publication number: 20140159434Abstract: A glass roof of a motor vehicle includes a fixed part and a panel that is mobile with respect to the fixed part. The panel is able to close an opening formed in or next to the fixed part in a closed position. Movement of the mobile panel is implemented with the aid of two shuttles guided in translation respectively in two rails, each of the shuttles engaging with a peg secured to the mobile panel. The mobile panel carries two bearing elements that bear against bearing surfaces formed respectively on a longitudinal portion of the rails, defining a third movement zone in which the mobile panel is slid with respect to the fixed part, parallel to the rails. The bearing surface is interrupted in an end portion of each of the rails so as to allow the bearing elements to move in a direction perpendicular to the rails.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2012Publication date: June 12, 2014Applicant: ADVANCED COMFORT SYSTEMS FRANCE SAS - ACS FRANCEInventor: Mickael Desbois

Patent number: 8485595Abstract: A device is provided for blocking an opening formed in an automobile roof, including a fixed glass portion to be rigidly connected to the vehicle and at least one glass panel. The glass panel is mobile relative to the fixed portion between a blocking position, in which it blocks an opening in the fixed portion, and at least one open position, in which the opening is at least partially open. Each of the mobile panels is slidingly guided along two rails rigidly connected to the surface of the fixed portion. The device also includes at least one passage for collecting and draining at least a portion of the water received on the outer surface of the mobile panel toward the outside of the vehicle. The passage is rigidly connected to the mobile panel to enable the water to flow from the mobile panel toward one of the rails.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2010Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: Advanced Comfort Systems France SAS-ACS FranceInventors: Guy Maltaverne, Jean-Claude Neaux, Régis Leboeuf

Publication number: 20130126696Abstract: The present invention provides a support device. The support device includes a strap, the active length of which is variable, the strap supporting the accessory against the bearing element. The device includes a rail extending between two ends along the strap, the rail is secured to the wall, and a sliding element which slides along the rail, the sliding element includes a passage into which the strap is to be inserted. The device includes an adjustment device for adjusting the active length of the strap. The strap can be extended, relative to the adjustment device, between a retracted configuration, in which the active length is at a minimum, and an extended configuration, in which the active length is at a maximum. The adjustment device includes an element for returning the strap to the retracted configuration thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2011Publication date: May 23, 2013Applicants: ADVANCED COMFORT SYSTEMS FRANCE SAS - ACS FRANCE, FAURECIA AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRIEInventors: Jacques Decorme, David Billy, Alexis Crabeil
