  • Patent number: 11918522
    Abstract: The ramp assembly is integrated and flush in an area of the floor of the vehicle adjacent to a door and is capable of adopting two end positions, a resting position, wherein a platform is hidden inside the vehicle, and an operative ramp position, wherein the platform is arranged on an inclined plane from the floor of the vehicle to a surface located at a lower height level from which people gain access. The ramp assembly is provided with a lifting mechanism in order to minimise the height difference between the floor and the rear side of the platform in the operative ramp position and comprises at least one rocker piece arranged articulately between movement transmission means and the platform, and at least one wedge that is in contact with a lower bearing.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11560744
    Abstract: The hinge device performs the opening and closing of a door of a vehicle without the door changing orientation. The device has an L-shaped arm provided with two ends attached in a pivotable way, around parallel rotation axes, to respective mounting bodies, one being fixable to the door and the other to the frame of the vehicle. Each body has a concentric pulley body with the respective rotation axis and fixed to a respective mounting body. The device further has a linking mechanism that extends along the arm and has a path formed by a first segment and a second segment that cross at least once.

  • Patent number: 11359429
    Abstract: The system comprises a lever (2) that is rotatable about a point fixed to the vehicle and articulately joined to the upper edge (6) of the leaf (1); a horizontal guide (3) through which a carriage (4) slides; push-pull means (10,11) that articulately link the upper edge (6) to the carriage (4); and actuation means (12) simultaneously linked to the lever (2) and the carriage (4), which are adapted to distribute their action on the lever (2) and the carriage (4) depending on the force to overcome in order to open and close the leaf (1), such that their action is automatically distributed on the lever (2) when greater power is required to move the carriage (4), this is essentially during the initial opening operation from the end closing position, and during the closing and locking operation from an imminent closing position.
