The disclosure concerns an air vent for a vehicle, comprising a housing, configured to guide an air flow from an air inlet opening to an air outlet opening substantially along an axial direction, an air guiding element arranged at least partly within the housing such that a first air guiding surface of the air guiding element and the housing define a first air channel for guiding a first partial air flow, a second air guiding surface of the air guiding element and the housing define a second air channel for guiding a second partial air flow. The air guiding element also comprises a manipulator which is configured to pivot the first air guiding surface and the second air guiding surface independently of each other for regulating a ratio between the first partial air flow and the second partial airflow.

Air vent

A vehicle includes a compartment mounted to a frame of the vehicle. The compartment includes a box coupled to the frame in a fixed position relative to the frame and a latch system coupled to the box to allow a user to access the box. The latch system includes a shape-memory alloy wire guided by a pulley during actuation of the latch system.

Actuator for a vehicle compartment

An outlet device is provided. In operation, the outlet device generates an outlet flow and includes: a housing with an inner surface forming a channel which extends between an air inlet orifice and an air outlet orifice, a first air-directing surface which together with a first inner surface section forms a first air channel, a second air-directing surface which lies contrary to the first air-directing surface and which together with a second inner surface section forms a second air channel, a first flap which is pivotable around a first adjustment axis which runs transversely the housing centerline and a second flap which is pivotable around a second adjustment axis which runs transversely the housing centerline, an adjustment device which comprises a control device and a coupling device, wherein the coupling device is actuatable by the control device and couples the pivoting motions of the first flap and the second flap.

Outlet device

An outlet device for ventilating a vehicle interior by generating an outlet flow, the outlet device including: a housing with an inner housing surface, a central body which is rotatably mounted on the housing, wherein the central body has a first air-guide surface for generating a first partial volume flow and a second air-guide surface for generating a second partial volume flow, wherein the second air-guide surface lies contrary to the first air-guide surface, and a first arrangement of fins and a second arrangement of fins, wherein the fins of the first and second arrangement of fins are rotatably mounted on the central body and wherein the vertical fins of the first arrangement extend from the first air-guide surface and the fins of the second arrangement extend from the second air-guide surface.

A vehicle trim element having a body defining the outer surface of the trim element. At least part of the body is deformable so as to cause a modification of the shape of the outer surface. The body includes a deformable guide surface extending in a first direction (Y). The trim element further includes at least one actuating element cooperating with the guide surface in an actuating zone, the guide surface adopting the shape of the actuating element in the actuating zone. The actuating element is movable relative to the body in the first direction (Y) such that the body deforms when the actuating element is moved. The actuating element is formed by a part of an information display device.

Trim element comprising a deformable outer surface with an information display device

A trim element includes a body defining an outer surface of the trim element, at least part of the body being deformable and having a deformable guide surface extending in a first direction. The trim element further includes at least one actuating element having an actuating segment extending non-rectilinearly in the first direction. The actuating segment cooperates with the guide surface in an actuating area, the guide surface adopting the shape of the actuating segment in the actuating area. The actuating segment is movable relative to the body in the first direction such that the actuating area is movable and the body deforms when the actuating element is moved in the first direction.

Trim element comprising a deformable outer surface

An interior system has a support and movable member mounted to be movable relative to the support for adjusting the height of the movable member, with a locking mechanism configured to allow unidirectional movement of the movable member relative to the support from a lowest adjustment position to a highest adjustment position. The interior system includes a deactivation mechanism for deactivating the locking mechanism and allowing the return of the movable member to the lowest adjustment position. The deactivation mechanism includes a track and a sliding member sliding along the track, with the sliding member and the track interacting to allow the locking mechanism to engage upon movement of the movable member from the lowest adjustment position to the highest adjustment position, and to disengage when the movable member exceeds the highest adjustment position and until it returns to the lowest adjustment position.

Interior system for a vehicle, namely armrest system for a vehicle

A support for a portable electronic apparatus. The support includes a first edge and a second edge, a locking device movable between a locking position, in which it prevents the translation of the first edge relative to the second edge, and an unlocking position, and an actuating device for actuating the locking device movable between an inactive position and an active position in which the actuating device keeps the locking device in its unlocking position. Movement of the second edge from an idle position to a maintaining position drives the actuating device from its active position to its inactive position. The support includes a control device that, when moved from a released position to a disengagement position, causes the actuating device to go from its inactive position to its active position while keeping the second edge in its maintaining position.

Support for a portable electronic apparatus, particularly in a vehicle, set comprising such a support and an electronic apparatus, associated retention process

A support for a mobile device has a front face bearing a stationary jaw. The support includes a moving jaw facing the stationary jaw, mounted in translation on the front face of the support. The moving jaw is able to receive a side edge of the mobile device, and the support further includes at least one guide ramp secured to the support, on which the moving jaw is slidingly mounted between a separated position, in which the mobile device is placed against the moving jaw, and a maintaining position, in which the mobile device is kept pressed against the stationary jaw. The support includes at least one return element, secured to the support, cooperating with the moving jaw over the entire length of the guide ramp and able to grip the mobile device against the stationary jaw.

Height-adjustable support for a mobile device

A holder device for a portable electronic apparatus for a motor vehicle. The device includes a stationary frame, secured to a structural element of the vehicle, and a drawer connected to the frame. The connection of the drawer to the frame is arranged such that the drawer is movable relative to the frame between a storage position and a usage position of the electronic apparatus. The connection provides a sliding movement between the storage and usage positions. In the usage position, a usage volume is at least partially delimited by the frame and the drawer. The portable electronic apparatus cam be maintained in the usage volume by a first and a second stop member coming into contact with the apparatus in at least two opposite points thereof and biased toward one another by at least one elastic member.
