  • Patent number: 11731503
    Abstract: An active gate device, comprising first and second flaps, capable of pivoting between a closed position and an open position; first and second cam tracks; and first and second mechanisms connecting the flaps to the cam tracks. The device further comprises: a rotary actuating lever; and first and second shoes slidable in the first and second cam tracks, respectively. The actuating lever is pivotable between three configurations, such that: in the first configuration, each flap is in the closed position; in the second configuration, the first flap is in the open position and the second flap is in the closed position; and in the third configuration, each flap is in the open position.

  • Patent number: 11667185
    Abstract: A ventilating device for ventilating a vehicle includes a frame defining an opening and a closing device including at least one closing flap extending in a general direction in the opening. The closing device is movable between open and closed positions such that a passage surface for the air through the ventilating device is smaller than the passage surface for the air when the closing device is in the open position. The flap is movable between open and closed positions and is mounted pivotably on the frame in order to pivot between the open and closed positions. The closing device includes a guide system for guiding the flap, which is arranged between two ends of the flap and includes a guide slot and a pin moving in the guide slot between the open and closed positions.

  • Patent number: 11479110
    Abstract: A ventilation device for a motor vehicle includes a frame defining an opening for an air flow, and at least one flap mounted so as to rotate relative to the frame about a pivot axis between an open position, suitable for allowing the air flow to pass, and a closed position, suitable for reducing the intensity of the air flow or changing its direction. The flap extends along the pivot axis and has a first end and a second end that are opposite one another along this axis and mounted so as to rotate on the frame around the pivot axis. The ventilation device further includes an intermediate support located between the first end and the second end along the pivot axis. The flap is mounted so as to rotate on the intermediate support relative to the frame about the pivot axis, the intermediate support being attached on the frame.

  • Patent number: 11465492
    Abstract: A ventilation device for a vehicle includes a frame defining an opening and a closure device that includes at least one closure flap extending in the opening. The ventilation device includes a first section having a first external face and at least a second section having a second external face. The external face of the closure flap is formed by the first external face and by the second external face, the first section and the second section extending in continuity of one another. The first section is joined to the second section in a junction region, with a trimming piece that covers at least the junction region on the external face of the closure flap.

  • Patent number: 11427268
    Abstract: An air flow management device for a vehicle includes a support and at least one deflector wall supported by an actuating system mounted on the support and configured to move the deflector wall along a predefined trajectory relative to the support between a retracted position and a deployed position. The deflector wall is mounted to rotate relative to the support about an axis of rotation so as to be able to retract in case of contact of the deflector wall with an obstacle.

  • Patent number: 11376947
    Abstract: Disclosed is a ventilation device for a vehicle including a frame defining an opening and a closing device of the opening. The ventilation device has a first zone. The closing device includes at least one main closing flap able to close off the first zone and able to rotate about a first axis of rotation extending along a single first direction of rotation. The ventilation device has at least one second zone. The closing device includes at least one secondary closing flap able to close off the second zone and able to rotate about a second axis of rotation extending along a single second direction of rotation for the or each second zone, the second direction of rotation being separate from the first direction of rotation.
