  • Patent number: 12109952
    Abstract: An acoustic shield for a motor vehicle engine (2), including a first portion made of a plastic material, the first portion having an element for attaching the shield to a motor vehicle engine, a second portion made at least partially of a sound-absorbent material. The second portion is intended for being placed in contact with the engine, wherein the first portion covers the second portion so as to at least partially conceal it and wherein the first portion has a central opening acting as a housing for a third portion. The third portion is configured to absorb the impacts transmitted by the motor vehicle bonnet during a pedestrian impact.

  • Publication number: 20200240656
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing an air-intake duct (30) with induction noise and radiated noise attenuation that is intended to be connected to an internal combustion engine. The method comprises the steps of: —(a): providing a mould (1) comprising two moulding cavities (2), each cavity (2) having at least one groove (4) adapted for moulding a rib (32) and having at least two half-bores (5) adapted for moulding end sleeves (34-36), —(b): providing a core (8) adapted to be positioned between the cavities (2), for moulding an air-intake duct (30), —(c): positioning a tubular layer (9) of air-porous material on the core (8), —(d): positioning the core (8) with the tubular layer (9) between the moulding cavities (2), —(e): injecting a thermoplastic material into the, or each, groove (4) and into each half-bore (5) of each cavity (2), in order to overmould ribs (32) and end sleeves (34-36) onto the tubular layer (9) so as to form a duct (30).
