  • Patent number: 7909391
    Abstract: This front-end panel (10) includes an upper transverse cross member (18) to be fixed to body elements (12) and a frame (20). The frame (20) is fixed beneath the cross member (18) and includes a lower transverse beam (50) and two side-struts (52) connecting the lower beam (50) to the cross member (18). Each strut (52) includes a lower portion (54) which is integral with the beam (50), and an upper portion (56) which is integral with the cross-member (18). The upper portion (56) and the lower portion (54) are mobile relative to one another between a disassembled configuration in which the upper portion (56) is arranged at a distance from the lower portion (54), and an assembled configuration in which the upper portion (56) and the lower portion (54) are fitted together.

  • Patent number: 7014257
    Abstract: The assembly includes a front face, a bumper skin, two flexible brackets, and two light units, each of which is rigidly secured to a corresponding bracket. The assembly further includes pre-positioning and guide elements adapted to provide pre-positioning that allows a first end of each of the brackets to move in a substantially axial direction relative to the front face, the elements including members for driving the first end in axial translation relative to the front face, the members operating by meshing, and elements for releasably receiving an adjustment tool in a meshing position. An adjustment tool, and a method of assembling and mounting such a front unit assembly are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6196624
    Abstract: This cross-beam has a central part (12) forming a support for a heat exchange and two lateral parts (14) forming supports for respective headlights. Each lateral part (14) is connected to the central part (12) by releasable fastening means (22, 26 to 32). The fastening means preferably include, associated with each lateral part (14), two complementary positioning dihedra (D1) respectively on the central part (12) and on the corresponding lateral part (14), and complementary means (22, 26 to 32) for immobilizing the dihedra relative to each other cooperating with each other by relative displacement of the dihedra substantially parallel to their edge (A1).
