  • Patent number: 10518827
    Abstract: An aerodynamic system for a wheel housing of a vehicle that according to one embodiment includes a flap that can be displaced between a deployed position and a retracted position, a rotating actuator, and a transmission mechanism coupled to the actuator and configured for transmitting the movement of the actuator to the flap. The aerodynamic system also includes at least one air flow shutter device in the wheel housing, where the shutter device faces at least one air duct and where the shutter device can be displaced between a closed position and an open position. The transmission mechanism is also configured for transmitting the movement of the actuator to the shutter device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 24, 2018
    Date of Patent: December 31, 2019

  • Patent number: 10166858
    Abstract: A shutter device for a front grille of a vehicle including a structure and at least two flaps coupled in a pivoting manner to the structure. An actuator and a transmission mechanism coupled to the actuator are configured to transmit the movement of the actuator to the flaps to carry out a sequential opening of the at least two flaps. According to one embodiment the transmission mechanism includes one gear for each of the at least two flaps, each gear comprising a drive wheel coupled to the actuator and a driven wheel coupled to the respective at least two flaps. Each of the drive wheels and driven wheels includes a notched part and a blocking part that are distributed differently to cause a sequential opening and/or closing of the at least two flaps.
