  • Patent number: 6594955
    Abstract: Door (1) for a vehicle, in the interior face of which there is a lateral opening (4) comprising a door module (5) fitted with equipment including a lock (30) and a window lifter (6) with at least one rail (7, 8) for guiding cables (9, 11), this module comprising an interior trim panel (20) on which the said equipment items are mounted, characterized in that in the upper part of the panel (20) there is an opening (31), against the periphery of which there may be removably fitted an additional insert (32) which forms a constituent part of the said panel and to which a support (24) for the lock (30) is fixed. This arrangement allows the lock (30) to be removed, if necessary, from the door (1) after the module (5) has been assembled therewith, without having first of all to remove the entire trim panel (20); this extraction of the lock (30) can be achieved simply by removing the insert (32) to which it is secured.

  • Patent number: 6484448
    Abstract: A vehicle door module includes a lock attached to a constituent support panel of the module, which is shaped to press against the periphery of an opening formed in an interior panel of a door frame. The support panel being identical for a vehicle with two doors and for a vehicle with four doors. The lock assembly includes lugs for fastening the lock to the panel with lugs that differ for the type of vehicle. A first lug of a length suited to a two-door vehicle, and a second lug that is suited to a four-door vehicle. This arrangement makes it possible to use the same standard module for vehicles of different types and therefore to cut down on the corresponding investment needed for producing the module.

  • Patent number: 5883451
    Abstract: The invention concerns a device for supporting an electric motor driving a turbine. The device having a cage delimiting a housing for receiving the motor casing, this housing including a peripheral wall connected to a front wall, the peripheral wall being interrupted in order to define at least one channel for cooling the motor, the peripheral wall having at least two U-shaped folded lugs directed towards the inside of the housing and able to come into abutment against the casing of the motor.

  • Patent number: 5878990
    Abstract: A device for supporting an electric motor driving a turbine, which is particularly applicable for heating and/or air conditioning equipment for a motor vehicle. The device comprises a casing which defines a housing for receiving an enclosure of the motor. The housing comprises a peripheral wall connected to a front wall. The peripheral wall is interrupted so as to define at least one channel for cooling the motor. The cooling channel is defined by two lateral walls, at least one of which is connected to the font wall by an inclined deflecting wall to facilitate the guidance of the flow of air for cooling the motor.
