  • Patent number: 11858336
    Abstract: The invention relates to a housing (3) for a front face module (2) of a motor vehicle (1), defining an air duct (4) for the flow of an air stream, said housing comprising: —an openwork structure (30) having a plurality of openings (32) defined by ribs (34); —a lining (36) which is securely attached to the openwork structure (30) and covers the openings (32) so as to form a wall which is airtight to the air stream. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing such a housing and to a front face module (2) comprising such a housing.

  • Patent number: 11827090
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (I) for regulating an air stream for an air inlet of a motor vehicle, comprising a housing (2) defining a flow duct (4), in which an air stream flows, in which a cooling unit (6) is at least partially arranged, comprising at least one heat exchanger (8, IO) and a motorized fan unit (12). According to the invention, the housing (2) comprises a sealing means (64, 64a, 64b, 64c) for preventing any air leakage outside the flow duct (4). The invention also relates to a motor vehicle comprising such a regulating device (I).
