Patent number: 11731503Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2020Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Flex-N-Gate FranceInventors: Cyrille Guyon, Yann Clapié, Bertrand Thoulouze

Patent number: 11667185Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2020Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Flex-N-Gate FranceInventors: Cyrille Guyon, Joaquin Hung

Patent number: 11479110Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2020Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: Flex-N-Gate FranceInventor: Cyrille Guyon

Patent number: 11465492Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2020Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: FLEX-N-GATE FRANCEInventors: Cyrille Guyon, David Duquesnoy
