A vehicle crossmember is made from continuous fiber-reinforced polymeric material without the need for metallic structural reinforcements. The crossmember includes more than one fiber-reinforced material composition, including different amounts and/or types of fiber reinforcements along different lengthwise portions of a crossbar of the crossmember. Attachment points and stiffening ribs can be overmolded onto surfaces of the crossbar before assembling two halves of the crossbar together to form the crossmember.

A system for displaying vehicle information in the passenger compartment of the vehicle includes an information acquisition device, a display device, and a control unit. The information acquisition device acquires at least one piece of information related to the vehicle, and the display device is configured to display the piece(s) of information in the passenger compartment. The display device includes at least two light sources. The control unit is configured to receive the acquired piece(s) of information and to control the light sources according to a stored pattern corresponding to the received information. For each piece of information received by the control unit, the stored pattern includes sequential lighting of the light sources according to a lighting sequence depending on the received information.

The invention relates to a skin for a motor vehicle trim element, intended to delimit an outer surface of the trim element and comprising at least one region with a substantially constant thickness. The skin comprises at least one first zone in which the skin comprises an outer layer, formed by a first translucent polyurethane material, and an inner layer, covered by the outer layer and formed by a second polyurethane material, different from the first polyurethane material, and at least one second zone, in which the skin comprises only said outer layer.

The invention concerns a swivel joint ventilation flap comprising an air stream duct (), a profiled body () the major part of which is at least arranged in the duct chamber, and a ring () co-operating with the duct and with the profiled member so that it supports the profiled body () in the duct while enabling the profiled body to be moved relative to the duct. Part at least of the inner surface of the chamber forms a spherical segment, the ring () has an outer surface forming a sphere portion of practically the same radius as the spherical segment, the ring () is arranged in the chamber at the outer surface of the profiled body (). The profiled body () can slide relative to the ring (). The ventilation flap is suitable for motor vehicle instrument panels.

Ventilation means with orientation and flow rate adjustment obtained by rotating a profiled body

An aerator includes a duct () defining a chamber in which a portion of the inner surface defines a spherical segment, a profiled body () with a holding device (), and a ring () having an outer surface defining a portion of a sphere having the same radius as the spherical segment of the chamber and bearing the profiled body () in the duct () while allowing the rotational movement thereof relative to the duct () and the translation movement thereof relative to the find (), wherein the profiled body () can assume a closing position when in contact with the duct. The profiled body () is provided with a member () for limiting the translation stroke when the translation axis of the body () is very inclined. Application in automotive vehicles.

This panel () includes at least one zone () forming a pictogram (), the pictogram () being illuminated by a light source () placed beneath the lining panel (), the lining panel () having a translucent skin () forming the external surface () of the lining panel () and a support layer () placed against the skin () between the light source () and at least the zone () forming a pictogram (). The support layer () has at least a first thickness (e) around the zone () forming the pictogram () and at least a second thickness (e) facing the zone () forming the pictogram (), the second thickness (e) being smaller than the first thickness (e).

An opening/closing device includes a bistable device having a fixed member () delimiting one side of an opening providing access to a compartment, and a flexible mobile member (), articulated on the fixed member proximate the ends of the access opening. The fixed and mobile members () delimit jointly the entire access opening, and the mobile member () has two stable positions, one wherein it is adjacent to the fixed member (), the other wherein only its ends are adjacent to the fixed member (). The mobile member () is elongated and has naturally two stable positions with opposite convexities. The invention is applicable to vehicle passenger compartments.
