Abstract: A car access assembly includes: a support blade extending according to a basis plane; a main strain gauge mounted on the support blade and configured to measure, within the basis plane, an elongation or a contraction of the main strain gauge according to a main direction; an additional strain gauge mounted on the support blade in such a way to extend, at least partially, in an inclined manner with respect to the basis plane; a handle cover presenting a main actuating area configured to be manually actuated according to or parallel to the main direction for triggering the main strain gauge and an additional actuating area configured to be manually actuated according to or parallel to an additional direction, which is transverse to the main direction, for triggering the additional strain gauge.

Abstract: A vehicle door handle assembly includes: a housing providing a recess with an opening; an elastic lever arranged in the recess, having a first end embedded in the housing and a second free end extending in front of the opening; a sensor for detecting a deformation of the elastic lever or a displacement of the second free end of the elastic lever; and a fixing structure arranged around the housing to be fastened to an inner side of a vehicle door panel. The second end of the elastic lever can be in contact with a pin attached to the inner side of the vehicle door panel in front of an outer side location associated with an opening actuation area so that a pressure applied on the opening actuation area leads to a displacement of the second end of the elastic lever which can be detected by the sensor.

Abstract: A vehicle door handle assembly includes a movable lever arranged on an inner side of a vehicle door for rotating from a rest position to an active position, an electrical latch for opening the door, and a converter for converting a displacement of the movable lever toward the active position into an electrical opening signal sent to the electrical latch. The converter includes a housing forming a recess, a switch arranged in the recess and connected to the electrical latch, a movable part arranged in the recess for moving from a rest position associated with a first state of the switch wherein no signal is sent to an active position associated with a second state of the switch wherein an electrical opening signal is sent to the electrical latch, an elastic element, and a mechanical link arranged between the movable lever and the movable part.

Abstract: A cooling fan module (10) for a vehicle is provided, including a frame (12) and a fan (18). The frame (12) includes an edge (16) which defines an opening (14) of a substantially circular shape through the frame (12) which allows the passage of a flow of air along the direction of an axis central (z) of the opening (14). The fan (18) includes a plurality of blades (20), the fan (18) being arranged to rotate around the central axis (z) to convey the flow of air through the opening (14). The edge (16) includes at least a first cylindrical wall (22) and a second cylindrical wall (24) coaxial with the central axis (z) of the opening (14). The second cylindrical wall (24) protrudes beyond the first cylindrical wall (22) in the direction of the central axis (z). The first cylindrical wall (22) is arranged at a first radial distance from the central axis (z), and the second cylindrical wall (24) is arranged at a second radial distance from the central axis (z), greater than the first radial distance.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a positioning apparatus (30) for positioning an automotive equipment intended to be inserted in an opening defined in an automotive vehicle panel (10), the positioning apparatus (30) comprising: a central body (31) comprising a recess (32) intended to receive said automotive equipment (22), a peripheral rim (33) projecting from the central body (31), configured to cooperate with an edge (12E) of the opening (12) and to centre, within the opening, the automotive equipment that is inserted in the recess (32), and at least two flexible retaining members (34) arranged on the peripheral rim (33), each retaining member (34) being configured to cooperate with an edge (12E) of the opening (12) so that the positioning apparatus (30) can be removably attached to the automotive vehicle panel.

Abstract: A vehicle rear door handle includes: a handle frame having an elongated bowl; a handle lever which is pivotably received in the bowl and supported by the handle frame, the handle lever being movable in rotation around a handle lever axis between a rest position and an opening position; and a kinematic lever coupled to the handle lever and rotatively mobile around a kinematic lever axis between a rest position and an active position. The kinematic lever has an attachment section for a Bowden cable and is configured to interact via the Bowden cable with a latch mechanism to unlatch the door. The kinematic lever axis is disposed between a free end of the handle frame and the elongated bowl and the attachment section for the Bowden cable is protruding such that the Bowden cable can be fixed beside the elongated bowl.
