Patent number: 11535176Abstract: A module trim element having a body defining an upper bearing surface, at least one first covering element defining a first upper bearing surface, mounted rotating about a first axis of rotation between a retracted position and at least one deployed position, and at least one second covering element defining a second upper bearing surface and mounted rotating about a second axis of rotation between a retracted position and at least one deployed position. The first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation are substantially parallel and extend at different heights relative to the body, with at least one of the upper bearing surfaces being a flexible surface and at least another one of the upper bearing surfaces being a rigid surface.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2020Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: FAURECIA INTERIEUR INDUSTRIEInventors: Benjamin Quesnel, Ludovic Bouldron, Cedric Habert, Stephane Snoeck, Edouard Da Silva, Stevenn Bideau

Patent number: 11299016Abstract: An outlet device is provided. In operation, the outlet device generates an outlet flow and includes: a housing with an inner surface forming a channel which extends between an air inlet orifice and an air outlet orifice, a first air-directing surface which together with a first inner surface section forms a first air channel, a second air-directing surface which lies contrary to the first air-directing surface and which together with a second inner surface section forms a second air channel, a first flap which is pivotable around a first adjustment axis which runs transversely the housing centerline and a second flap which is pivotable around a second adjustment axis which runs transversely the housing centerline, an adjustment device which comprises a control device and a coupling device, wherein the coupling device is actuatable by the control device and couples the pivoting motions of the first flap and the second flap.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2018Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: FAURECIA INTERIEUR INDUSTRIEInventors: Bruno Dinant, Ludovic Bouldron

Patent number: 10549606Abstract: An aerator having a duct and a deflector member to deflect the flow of air leaving the duct, the deflector member being mounted movably relative to the duct by means of an articulation. The deflector member extends around the articulation. The articulation includes a male part having a head and a female part having a housing, the head being received in the housing to allow the adjustment of the deflector member relative to the duct. The female part further includes at least one pressing element biased to bear against the head by an elastic biasing element.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2015Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: FAURECIA INTERIEUR INDUSTRIEInventors: Ludovic Bouldron, Jean-Baptiste Vuattoux

Patent number: 8789869Abstract: A storage device, including a storage body and a cover that is movable between an open position and a closed position. The device includes a locking mechanism that is movable between a locking position and an unlocking position, an elastic return member being arranged so as to move the locking mechanism back into the locking position. The device includes at least one pusher part that is movable between a refracted position and an extracted position in which the pusher part keeps the cover in a partially open position. The elastic return member is arranged so as to push the pusher part into the extracted position thereof when the locking mechanism is in the unlocking position.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2011Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: Faurecia Interieur IndustrieInventor: Ludovic Bouldron
