A device for controlling an air flow in a motor vehicle compartment. The device includes: a frame defining an opening; a plurality of slats extending across the frame, arranged above one another; and an actuator connected to each of the slats by a respective fastener. Each slat extends in a respective air deflection plane, and is movable via the actuator, between: a closed position, in which the slats cooperate with one another to block the passage of the air through the opening, and an open position, in which the slats allow the air to flow through the opening, the deflection planes of the slats intersecting upstream from the frame. Each fastener is mounted rotatably only on the actuator, around a respective actuating axis.

A multi-functional support for a motor vehicle, wherein the multi-functional support comprises a plurality of mounts for accommodating, in a supporting manner, motor vehicle front elements, wherein the motor vehicle front elements are visible in the installed state in an outside top view of the motor vehicle, wherein the multi-functional support together with the received motor vehicle front elements can be fixed so as to be mounted in a floating manner on a body of the motor vehicle, wherein the floating mounting is designed such that, by releasing the fixing and by displacing the multi-functional support relative to the body, a joint line, which is visible in an outside top view of the motor vehicle, between the motor vehicle front elements and outer motor vehicle trim parts directly adjacent to the motor vehicle front elements can be adjusted in a predefined manner.

Multi-functional support for a motor vehicle

A force deflecting component () for a motor vehicle for protecting an underside of the motor vehicle against an impact of a curb edge, wherein the force-deflecting component () is configured to be arranged on a motor vehicle longitudinal member () on the underside of the motor vehicle in the vertical direction of the motor vehicle and connected in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle by a support () connected to the body of the motor vehicle, wherein the force-deflecting component () comprises an impact surface () and is elastically deformable in the vertical direction of the motor vehicle to completely absorb forces acting on the impact surface () in the event of a sudden movement of the motor vehicle in the direction of the curb edge caused by a curb departure of the motor vehicle.
