  • Publication number: 20240227588
    Abstract: A charging connector apparatus for an electrically driven motor vehicle. The apparatus has a charging socket designed in a country-specific manner and an adapter element for fastening the charging socket designed in a country-specific manner on a vehicle body which includes a charging port. In order to simplify the manufacture and assembly of the charging connector apparatus, the adapter element for fastening charging socket designed in a country-specific manner is attached to a combined drive-and-guide device for a cover which, with the aid of the combined drive-and-guide device, can be moved between a closed position in which the charging port is closed by the cover and an open position in which, with the aid of the combined drive-and-guide device, the charging port is exposed by the cover.

  • Publication number: 20240235093
    Abstract: An apparatus for exposing and covering a charging port having a cover, which is movable between a closed position, in which the charging port is covered by the cover, and an open position, in which the charging port is exposed by the cover, using a combined drive-and-guide device, which is moved inwardly from its closed position in relation to an outer skin comprising the charging port. In order to simplify the apparatus for exposing and covering a charging port having a cover, the combined drive-and-guide device includes a gearwheel/rack combination operatively connected to the cover and having two racks arranged in parallel and meshing with a respective gearwheel. The two gearwheels are electromotively driven about a common axis of rotation.

  • Publication number: 20240227713
    Abstract: A bumper with a charging port which is closable by a cover that is, by way of a combined drive-and-guide device arranged in the bumper, movable between a closed position in which the charging port is covered by the cover and an open position in which the charging port is exposed by the cover. In order to simplify the manufacture of bumpers, the combined drive-and-guide device is fastened on the bumper to a unit fastening point of an individually customized adapter frame facing the combined drive-and-guide device.

  • Patent number: 8297685
    Abstract: The air guiding device has one or more air guiding bodies. Each air guiding body has an elongate attachment that extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle that bulges in a convex manner, is composed of a flexible or soft-elastic material and is embodied in the form of a half shell having a lateral elongate opening and can be adjusted automatically in the driving condition from a rest position into an operative position, in which it can be lowered in the direction of the roadway. In the rest position, the air guiding body is arranged close to the undersurface and, in the operative position, the air guiding body is held in a lowered position relative to the undersurface.
