  • Patent number: 11834106
    Abstract: An air conduction device for a motor vehicle including an air conduction element and a movement device with adjustment kinematics. The air conduction element is movable relative to the remaining body as at least part of a tail side part of the vehicle body. The air conduction element moves between an inoperative position and at least one final operating position. The tail side part has a flow guiding area along which air flows which is designed to face an area surrounding the motor vehicle. The air conduction element has a surface which is at least part of the flow guiding area. The air conduction element is configured in its final operating position to lengthen the flow guiding area in the direction of a longitudinal body axis (X) of the body. The adjustment kinematics are configured in the form of multipoint joint kinematics.

  • Patent number: 11827284
    Abstract: A motor vehicle side spoiler arrangement with a spoiler blade which can be moved in a motorized manner between a retracted rest position and a laterally extended spoiler position. A spoiler shell is fixed on the vehicle and provided with a shell rear wall, a guide mechanism which guides the spoiler blade in the longitudinal direction, and an actuating motor. A sliding seal lip is provided between the spoiler blade and the shell rear wall, which sliding seal lip closes a front-side gap (S) between the spoiler blade and the shell rear wall in the spoiler position of the spoiler blade.

  • Publication number: 20230057190
    Abstract: An air guide device for a motor vehicle having an air guide element and a movement mechanism. The air guide element forming a rear side part of a body of the motor vehicle so as to be movable relative to the remaining body. The air guide element is movable between an inoperative position and at least one operating end position. The air guide element, in its inoperative position, is flush with the remaining body. The rear side part has a flow guide surface which faces an environment of the motor vehicle and along which air flows. The air guide element has a surface which is at least part of the flow guide surface. The air guide element, in its operating end position, is configured to extend the flow guide surface along a body longitudinal axis (X) of the body.

  • Publication number: 20230016708
    Abstract: An air conduction device for a motor vehicle includes an air conduction element and a movement device. The air conduction element is movably configured relative to the remaining body as at least part of a tail side part of a body of the vehicle. The air conduction element can be brought into an inoperative position and at least one final operating position. The tail side part has a flow guiding area along which air flows which is designed to face an area surrounding the motor vehicle. The air conduction element has a surface which is at least part of the flow guiding area. The air conduction element is configured in its final operating position to lengthen the flow guiding area in the direction of a longitudinal body axis (X) of the body. The air conduction element can be brought into its positions with the help of the movement device.
