  • Air flap apparatus having asynchronously movable air flap arrays
    Patent number: 11813937
    Abstract: An air flap apparatus for a motor vehicle, encompassing: a frame having an air passthrough opening; a first and a second air flap arrangement each encompassing at least one first air flap and at least one second air flap; a common motion drive system for displacing the first and the second air flap arrangement; a motion coupling for coupling both the first and the second air flap arrangement to the motion drive system, the first air flap arrangement and the second air flap arrangement being displaceable between a blocking position having a greater degree of coverage of the air passthrough opening and a passthrough position having a lesser degree of coverage of the air passthrough opening; the motion coupling coupling the first and the second air flap arrangement to the motion drive system in such a way that the first and the second air flap arrangement are drivable by the motion drive system asynchronously for a displacement motion, a coupling component of the motion coupling comprises a common motion cou
