  • Patent number: 6616522
    Abstract: A ventilating, heating, and air conditioning device for a motor vehicle passenger compartment which includes air intake orifices and an associated air intake conduit which supplies at least one fan which forces an intake air stream through two heat exchangers towards a distributor. Outlets are connected by discharge pipes to associated orifices distributed inside the passenger compartment. The fan, heat exchanger, and distributor are controlled to selectively diffuse air streams inside the passenger compartment with variable flow rate and temperature. The distributor is transversely arranged in a central position and longitudinally behind a row of seats, and the distributor outlets are at the vehicle floor level.

  • Patent number: 4249427
    Abstract: A main T-shaped lever 3 is articulated at the ends of its horizontal arm on two links 5, 6 mounted so as to pivot on a support plate 1 in such a way that the four axes of articulation A, B, C, D form a deformable isosceles trapezoid when the main lever is in the central position E of its travel which, moreover, is parallel to the front 2 of the plate. Secondary levers 9, 10 actuated by cams 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b act on the air-conditioning controls 13, 14.Particular application is to the case of multiple controls manipulated by a single lever with a large straight displacement with no deflection.

  • Patent number: 4030379
    Abstract: A lever operated control device has a control portion lying adjacent, and adapted to move parallel to a motor vehicle control panel. The control device has an elongated control lever having a first end and a second end, the control portion being located at the first end for movement of the control lever. A restraining lever has one end pivotally mounted on a movable axis of the control lever, and an opposite end pivotally mounted on a fixed axis. The control lever is designed to move pivotally about its second end along with simultaneous longitudinal movement.
