A ventilating, heating, and air conditioning device for a motor vehicle passenger compartment which includes air intake orifices and an associated air intake conduit which supplies at least one fan which forces an intake air stream through two heat exchangers towards a distributor. Outlets are connected by discharge pipes to associated orifices distributed inside the passenger compartment. The fan, heat exchanger, and distributor are controlled to selectively diffuse air streams inside the passenger compartment with variable flow rate and temperature. The distributor is transversely arranged in a central position and longitudinally behind a row of seats, and the distributor outlets are at the vehicle floor level.

Ventilating, heating and air-conditioning device for motor vehicle passenger compartment

A main T-shaped lever 3 is articulated at the ends of its horizontal arm on two links 5, 6 mounted so as to pivot on a support plate 1 in such a way that the four axes of articulation A, B, C, D form a deformable isosceles trapezoid when the main lever is in the central position E of its travel which, moreover, is parallel to the front 2 of the plate. Secondary levers 9, 10 actuated by cams 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b act on the air-conditioning controls 13, 14. Particular application is to the case of multiple controls manipulated by a single lever with a large straight displacement with no deflection.

Manipulating arrangement with multiple functions, particularly for the

Device for ejecting and retaining the bonnet of a motor vehicle when opening said bonnet, which comprises an ejection spring and a hook adapted to retain the bonnet in its ejected position, said device consisting of a spring assembly comprising a portion adapted to be fastened and, adjacent thereto, a spring arm constituting the ejection member and another spring arm constituting the retaining hook, said other spring arm being provided with a control lug.

A lever operated control device has a control portion lying adjacent, and adapted to move parallel to a motor vehicle control panel. The control device has an elongated control lever having a first end and a second end, the control portion being located at the first end for movement of the control lever. A restraining lever has one end pivotally mounted on a movable axis of the control lever, and an opposite end pivotally mounted on a fixed axis. The control lever is designed to move pivotally about its second end along with simultaneous longitudinal movement.
