  • Patent number: 11034396
    Abstract: An air deflecting device for use on an underside of a motor vehicle in front of a vehicle wheel includes at least one air deflection member. The air deflection member includes at least two air deflection member parts which allow the width of the air deflection member in the transverse vehicle direction to be modified.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10882353
    Abstract: A vehicle wheel has spokes, on which cover elements are provided for a space between the spokes. The cover elements deform according to the temperature in such a way that, at higher temperatures, a passage of air through a region of the space between the spokes is possible, which is covered by the cover element at lower temperatures. In this way, the cover elements do not entirely cover the respective spaces between the spokes, and a rigid cap element is provided per intermediate space in addition to a cover element deforming according to the temperature. Alternatively, two cover elements are provided in each space between the spokes, next to one another in the circumferential direction of the wheel, wherein in the deformed state, one of the cover elements is curved outwards and the other cover element is curved inwards towards the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9950755
    Abstract: A vehicle has an air-guiding device arranged on a lower side of the vehicle in front of a vehicle wheel. The air-guiding device includes an air-guiding body which has a side region running substantially in the vertical direction of the vehicle and facing a vehicle center, and a bottom region which faces an underlying surface and is connected to the side region and is spaced apart from the lower side. In an outer region of the air-guiding body, which faces away from the vehicle center and is connected to the bottom region and is formed with a convex curvature with respect to the outer side of the vehicle, an air flow can be directed in the direction of an outer flank of the vehicle wheel, while an air flow can be oriented in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle via the side region guiding surface.

  • Patent number: 9855984
    Abstract: An underbody panelling part of a wheel axle near the wheel arch of a motor vehicle has a main part, the covering surface of which is variable, and a fastening structure for fixed connection to the body and/or a fastening structure for fixed connection to a transverse link of the motor vehicle. In the mounted state the covering surface can be varied with the steering angle.

  • Patent number: 9643664
    Abstract: An underbody panelling part of a wheel axle near the wheelhouse of a motor vehicle includes a substantially flat main part, a first mounting point provided on the main part, which first mounting point can be rotatably connected to a transverse link of the motor vehicle, and a second mounting point provided on the main part, which second mounting point can be coupled to a wheel carrier or a steering rod. The underbody panelling part can be pivoted about the first mounting point when the wheel carrier is pivoted. A subassembly having the underbody panelling part is also provided.
