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.

A cup holder () for receiving a vessel () includes a drawer () capable of sliding inside a body () so as to move identically between a closed position and an open position. The drawer () locally includes an outer outline () in the shape of an open arc of a circle that engages a partial perimeter (C) of the vessel (). The cup holder further includes a stowable front () that is flush with a side of the drawer () when the drawer () is in the closed position, and that is in an inclined position relative to the drawer () when the drawer () is in the open position in order to hold the base of the vessel ().

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.

A door inside panel includes a panel body () having a first fixing device () and an upper pelmet () arranged proximate the upper edge of the panel body () and housed in a cavity () which opens on the visible side of the inside panel, the pelmet () including a second fixing device (). The fixing devices () have co-operating positions wherein they cause the pelmet () to be fixed to the panel body (), a first position wherein the entire edge of the pelmet () is in contact with the panel body, and a second position wherein the edge of the pelmet () is spaced apart from the panel body () proximate the upper edge and forms a slot (). The invention is suitable for an automotive door.

The invention concerns a device for masking clearances between an instrument panel () and a covering element () linked to an adjustable steering column along a longitudinal direction () and a transverse direction (). The device comprises a relatively rigid intermediate element () mobile solely along the longitudinal direction relative to the instrument panel, to remain in contact with said instrument panel, while the covering element moves along the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction, such that it slides along the longitudinal direction relative to the covering element.
