Abstract:
A radiator grill (10) for a motor vehicle comprises: a frame (12) for securing the radiator grill (10) to the vehicle, wherein a condition in which the radiator grill (10) is mounted on the vehicle will be designated in the following as the reference condition of the radiator grill (10), and wherein the frame (12) in the reference condition of the radiator grill (10) relative to the motor vehicle is mounted substantially immovably thereon, at least one air-conducting element (20) which extends along an air-conducting element longitudinal axis (L) and at least in sections forms at least one part of an outer side (21) of the radiator grill (10), at least one air-passage opening (30) which is designed to allow cooling air to flow into a motor vehicle interior region (24), which in the reference condition of the radiator grill (10) and during travel operation of the motor vehicle flows on to the outer side (21) of the radiator grill (10) counter to a travel direction (F), as well as at least one air flap (16) with a flap outer surface (27) and a flap axis (28), wherein the air flap (16) can move, at least between a closed position and an open end position, relative to the air-conducting element (20) in an adjusting movement comprising a pivoting movement about the flap axis (28) so as to vary an opening cross-section of the air-passage opening (30), wherein the air-conducting element (20) completely obscures over more than half of its axial extension, preferably over its entire axial extension, the air flap (16) in its open end position, viewed counter to the travel direction (F).
