  • Door Assembly and HVAC System Having the Same
    Publication number: 20220194169
    Abstract: A door assembly for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system has a first door and a second door. The first door is fixed to a shaft. The second door is adjacent to the first door along a circumferential direction of the shaft and is fixed to a secondary shaft. The shaft and the secondary shaft are aligned coaxially and coupled with each other to be rotatable about a rotational axis independently of each other. The first door and the second door rotate about the rotational axis independently of each other in conjunction with the shaft and the secondary shaft. In an example, the HVAC system performs a driver-side concentration mode in which air flowing out of the HVAC system is concentrated to a driver seat of a vehicle.

  • Pass-through seal and system having pass-through seal for sealing vehicular component
    Patent number: 9644740
    Abstract: A pass-through seal may seal a component extending between a first member and a second member in a vehicle. The pass-through seal may define a core opening and have a varying outer profile. The core opening receives the component at a predefined angle relative to an aperture defined by the first member. The core opening supports the component at the predefined angle at one end and has a snug fit with the component at the other end. The varying outer profile is configured to create an interference fit with the aperture defined by the first member at one end and to be larger than the aperture at the other end.
