  • Patent number: 10300966
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a variable rear spoiler apparatus of a rear bumper for a vehicle. The variable rear spoiler apparatus includes a linkage mechanism configured to be installed on a bumper back beam and having a length varying in a vertical direction when the linkage mechanism undergoes a rotation. A spoiler is connected to the linkage mechanism and is able to move up and down by the rotation of the linkage mechanism. A first driving mechanism, installed at the bumper back beam, is provided with a first rotation shaft connected to the linkage mechanism to transfer a torque. The spoiler is moved up and down by the rotation of the linkage mechanism by a rotation of the first rotation shaft. A second driving mechanism is connected to the first rotation shaft. The spoiler is tilted by a length varying operation of the second driving mechanism.

  • Patent number: 10266214
    Abstract: Disclosed is a variable spoiler apparatus of the rear bumper for vehicles. The variable spoiler apparatus includes a linkage device, to be installed on a bumper back beam, which is able to vary in length in an up-down direction during a rotating operation. A spoiler is coupled to the linkage device and is able to move in the up-down direction by the rotation operation of the linkage device. A first drive device, to be installed on the bumper back beam, includes a first rotating shaft coupled to the linkage device to transmit a rotating force. When the first drive device is operated, the linkage device is rotated by a rotation of the first rotating shaft so that the spoiler is moved in the up-down direction. A second rotating shaft is rotatably coupled to the linkage device. The second rotating shaft is penetrated and connected to a second drive device.
