  • Patent number: 10833716
    Abstract: A docking station having a base, a first maintaining element and a second maintaining element arranged to bear on two opposite edges of a contour of a nomad electronic device received between the first maintaining element and the second maintaining element. The first maintaining element is movable relative to the base to adjust the separation between the first maintaining element and the second maintaining element based on the distance separating the two opposite edges of the nomad electronic device. A visible outer surface of the first maintaining element includes at least one control element and/or at least one device displaying a function of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10814901
    Abstract: A driver station of a vehicle including a support structure and a module that has a central part, a steering wheel and an electronic communication interface element. The central part is connected to the support structure. The steering wheel and the electronic communication interface element are arranged on either side of the central part along a main direction. The module is able to be moved relative to the support structure between a first position, in which the steering wheel is provided to be across from a driver, and a second position, in which the electronic communication interface element is provided to be across from the driver.

  • Patent number: 10501108
    Abstract: A steering wheel having a body rotatable around a steering axis (D), a first gripping element and a second gripping element, the first gripping element being movable between a deployed position, in which the first and second gripping elements extend on either side of the body, and a retracted position, in which the first gripping element is folded down against the second gripping element. The second gripping element is translatable relative to the body at least in a first direction substantially parallel to the steering axis (D) between the deployed position and the retracted position so as to free a space for the first gripping element in the retracted position.

  • Patent number: 10493925
    Abstract: A vehicle seat having a seat bottom, a seat back, and at least one display device. The seat bottom defines at least one bearing surface for an occupant of the seat, and the display device includes a display area. The display device is movable relative to the seat bottom between a retracted position, in which the surface of the display area visible from outside the seat bottom is small or nonexistent, and at least one extended position, in which the surface of the display area visible from outside the seat bottom protrudes from the bearing surface and has a surface larger than the surface of the display area visible in the retracted position.

  • Patent number: 10351001
    Abstract: A vehicle trim assembly that includes a trim and a display device having a display screen with a first display zone and a second display zone. The display device is movable relative to the trim between a first stable position, in which the first display zone is visible and the second display zone is hidden by the trim, and a second stable position, in which the first display zone and the second display zone are both visible. The second stable position is offset relative to the first stable position along a first direction perpendicular to the display screen in the first position, in the direction toward which the display screen is facing.

  • Patent number: 10086771
    Abstract: A support for a mobile device has a front face bearing a stationary jaw. The support includes a moving jaw facing the stationary jaw, mounted in translation on the front face of the support. The moving jaw is able to receive a side edge of the mobile device, and the support further includes at least one guide ramp secured to the support, on which the moving jaw is slidingly mounted between a separated position, in which the mobile device is placed against the moving jaw, and a maintaining position, in which the mobile device is kept pressed against the stationary jaw. The support includes at least one return element, secured to the support, cooperating with the moving jaw over the entire length of the guide ramp and able to grip the mobile device against the stationary jaw.
