Abstract: A mounting system for mounting a rotary member to a stationary member. The mounting system includes a carrier adapted to engage the rotary member, wherein the carrier includes a mounting leg portion which terminates into a pair of resilient leg portions. The carrier may also further include a spring member adapted to engage a first surface of the stationary member. At least one of the legs in the pair of resilient leg portions includes a turned-out portion adapted to engage a second surface of said stationary member.

Abstract: A heating and ventilating apparatus for a motor vehicle includes a cold air admission duct supplying the admission and heating circuit in order to produce a stream of cold or heated air for introduction into the inlet of a distribution circuit having air outlet ducts which exhaust into different parts of the cabin of the vehicle.The apparatus includes a priority demisting duct which is separate from the distribution circuit, and which has an inlet communicating with the admission and heating circuit, together with an outlet which exhausts behind the windshield. A shut-off valve is displaced between a priority demisting position, in which it closes off the inlet of the distribution circuit, and a normal position in which it closes off the inlet of the priority demisting duct.

Abstract: A heating system for an automobile comprising a circulation circuit for the coolant fluid of the engine of the vehicle, including a primary heating circuit connected to the engine and a secondary heating circuit including a heat exchanger positioned to heat the air to be transmitted into the passenger area of the vehicle and a heat generator separated from the primary heating circuit to accelerate the increase of the temperature of the fluid in the heat exchanger.

Abstract: Combustion engine cooled by circulation of liquid in a main circuit which includes a pump and a radiator associated with an expansion-tank. Auxiliary piping connects the expansion-tank to a suitable point in the main circuit in order to inject into it a flow of cold liquid coming from the expansion-tank and delivered through an auxiliary pump.
