  • Patent number: 7413243
    Abstract: The subject of the invention is a hollow reinforcing beam (1) for the cockpit of a vehicle. This beam (1) constitutes a member through which air originating from a heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning system flows, and for this purpose comprises at least one air intake opening (21) and a plurality of outlet openings (23, 24, 26, 27, 29) for discharging the admitted air. This beam (1) is made up of an integral body stretching longitudinally in a constant direction which at its ends comprises windows (8, 9) for the longitudinal introduction of members for the selective distribution of the air admitted into the beam (1), and which is equipped at its ends with tips (12, 13) for reinforcing the beam (1) and fixing it to the cockpit of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20060063481
    Abstract: The invention relates to a structural element (1) of a vehicle passenger compartment, through which air, in particular from a heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning system (2) circulates. This structural element comprises an air inlet (3) and openings (4, 4?) for discharging the air that has entered, and is equipped with at least one selective air distribution module (7, 7?) fitted onto an external surface of the structural element (1). This module (7, 7?) comprises at least one air inlet (8) in communication with an opening (4) for discharging air from the structural element (1), and at least two openings (9, 9?; 14, 14?) for discharging air intended for the ventilation of corresponding zones in the passenger compartment.

  • Publication number: 20060009148
    Abstract: The subject of the invention is a module for conveying and distributing air originating from a thermal unit of a heating, ventilating and/or air conditioning system system for the cockpit of a vehicle. This module comprises a partitioned box structure (3) which delimits a number of ducts allocated respectively to the supply of air to zones of the cockpit. This box structure (3), installed inside a front transverse beam of the cockpit, delimits an overall intake duct (4) which is in communication with a duct (5) supplying air originating from the thermal unit. This overall duct (4) is equipped with at least one main splitter (6) for distributing the admitted air selectively towards main distribution ducts (7, 8) which are in communication via respective outlets with a said zone of the cockpit to which these outlets are assigned.
