  • Patent number: 11592049
    Abstract: A device for fastening a light strip to a motor vehicle includes a mounting support and an opening having a first region with a first diameter and a second region arranged so as to be offset in relation to the first region. The second region has a second diameter smaller than the first diameter. The light strip is configured to be mounted on the mounting support in a form-fitting manner. A form-fitting connection between the mounting support and the light strip is established by a T bolt configured to be inserted into the first region and then displaced from the first region into the second region.

  • Patent number: 10315712
    Abstract: A support device for an air guiding means of a vehicle includes a basic body and at least one adjustment device fastened to the basic body, the adjustment device configured to adjust the air guiding means in a Z direction. The at least one adjustment device has at least one adjustment element which is mounted displaceably in a guide device of the adjustment device. The at least one adjustment element has an adjuster for displacing the adjustment element from a first Z position into a second Z position. The at least one adjustment element has a fastening interface for fastening to a drive unit for moving the air guiding means.

  • Patent number: 10293871
    Abstract: An air guiding apparatus for a motor vehicle includes an air guiding element and a coupling device configured to positively couple movement of lateral air guiding element sections directed transversely with respect to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle to a movement of the air guiding element between a rest position and an operating position. The coupling device includes a piston configured to be guided in a cylinder in such a way that the piston carries out a rotational movement during a linear movement in the cylinder, and a rotary rocker configured to act on the piston via a cardan joint, configured to also carry out the rotational movement of the piston, and configured to convert the rotational movement of the piston into movement of the lateral air guiding element sections directed transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20120247034
    Abstract: The invention relates to an enclosure for a pleasure pool, which is completely or partially in the form of a rotunda and which comprises a plurality of rotary angular roof elements. The aforementioned rotary angular roof elements form an angular portion of the rotunda and rotate about the same vertical axis, each element comprising a frame framing at least one cylindrical filler panel. The frame includes a lower circular edge that rests on the ground and an upper edge from which at least two sections extend towards the rotation shaft, which sections join so as, together with the upper edge, to form a frame for an angular portion of the roof-forming filler panel. The roof elements are mounted to rotate about the same vertical axis in order to move between an open position and a closed position.

  • Publication number: 20110107509
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (D) for mounting and guiding roofing modules (M) of the type consisting of a framework (100) connecting beams (110) and cross members (120) supporting a cover, the edge cross members (121 and 122) forming rims and resting on the edges of a swimming pool (P), said modules (M) being able to undergo horizontal translational movement (arrow F1) above the swimming pool (P) in order that said swimming pool (P) is covered or opened, said device being noteworthy in that it consists of a wheel (200) having a substantially vertical axis, -said wheel being mounted on a removable rotary shaft (300) mounted at the edge of the swimming pool (P), -the rolling surface (210) of which wheel allows a relative rolling of the rim of the modules (M) when said rim comes into contact during the horizontal translational movement (arrow F1), -the lower face (220) of which wheel engages with a projection (400) on the rim (121, 122) which comes under the wheel (200) in order to restrain the module (M) i
