Abstract: A shutter for a ventilation duct for a motor vehicle is disclosed. The shutter extends longitudinally along an axis of rotation, and includes an upstream part and a downstream part which are connected by a rib at which the axis of rotation is located. The upstream and downstream parts have ends situated on both sides of a plane P which passes via said axis of rotation, such as to allow one of the ends of the shutter to be overlapped by the other end of a similar shutter disposed in an adjacent manner. A longitudinal cavity extends along the axis of rotation and passes through the upstream and/or the downstream part. The upstream and/or downstream part(s) are provided with a cavity situated in the projecting front surface of the rib and of the end of the other part.

Abstract: The invention relates to a facia panel for allowing an inflated airbag to pass through. In accordance with the invention, a composite finished part includes a support element made of plastic and having a reduced thickness in comparison to its other dimensions, and a connecting sheet joined to the support element and not extending over the whole surface of the support element. The part presents a special zone which forms a door for an airbag and is designed to make it possible to create a passageway for the airbag. The zone is delimited by a periphery constituted by an embrittled portion presenting two extremities and by an articulating portion which defines, between the two extremities, a articulation axis overlapped by the connecting sheet. The connecting sheet is present over the greater part of the special zone present, along at least the major part of the embrittled portion end on either side of the embrittled portion, and encompassed in the support element.
