Abstract:
An aeration diffuser (9) for introducing and directing an airflow into the passenger compartment of a vehicle, comprises a nozzle mounted in the outflow section of an air supply duct, in the center of which is an actuator movable with respect to a longitudinal axis, a plurality of tabs (18), each having a first edge hinged to the nozzle along a respective axis of oscillation, a slide (20), coaxial with respect to the longitudinal axis of the actuator and slidably coupled to the latter, such that the movement of the actuator involves an axial translation of the slide (20) between two positions, and a plurality of connecting rods (22), each having a first end movable integrally to the slide (20), and a second end hinged to a second edge (18b) of a respective tab (18), such that the sliding of the slide (20) causes alternatively the distancing or approach of the second edges (18b) with respect to this longitudinal axis of the slide (20).
Abstract:
The mechanism (10) for adjusting the angular position of a pedal (PI; P2) of a vehicle comprises: a motor (12) for generating a rotary motion and transmitting it to at least one rotating member (20a; 32a); a first pedal assembly (14) comprising a first support frame (18) with a first slotted hole (24), rotatably supported on a first fulcrum (Fl) and adapted to support a first pedal (PI); a first motion conversion mechanism (20), comprising a first rotating member (20a) rotatable about a first axis of rotation (zl) and a first translating member (20b), configured to receive a rotational motion and to convert it into a translational motion; and a first pin (22), arranged for joint translation with said first translating member (20b) and arranged to slide inside said first slotted hole (24), whereby the sliding of the first pin (22) within said first slotted hole (24) draws the first support frame (18) in rotation about the first fulcrum (Fl) between a first angular position and a second angular position; and a second pedal assembly (28) similar to the first, wherein the first rotating member (20a) of the first motion conversion mechanism (20) is connected to the motor (12) to receive its rotary motion and the second rotating member (32a) of the second motion conversion mechanism (32) is connected in rotation to the first rotating member (20a) through a flexible transmission (40).
Abstract:
A composite material for the realization of a component or a structural part, in particular for installation on-board a vehicle, adapted to integrate electrical devices and connections, comprises a non-conductive polymeric matrix; a dispersed phase comprising at least one promoter of carbonization adapted to form carbonaceous conductive structures; and a reinforcing-fibre filler adapted to direct the distribution and orientation of the dispersed phase in the polymeric matrix.
Abstract:
The pedal (10) comprises a pedal arm (12) of plastic material having a tubular structure, with a first arm part (18) having an open cross-section and a second arm part (20) having an open cross-section, which arm parts are produced by moulding separately from each other and are joined to each other by welded joint so as to define the closed cross-section of the pedal arm (12). The pedal (10) further comprises a foot pad (14) that is wholly formed by the first arm part (18).
Abstract:
What is described is a control device for an electrical circuit integrated on a substrate (12) made of polymeric material, incorporating carbonaceous conductive structures which define at least one track (10) having improved electrical conductivity properties with respect to the substrate, which control device includes an operating area (14) able to be acted on by a user and having a pressure-deformable structure able to disturb the electrical properties of the track (10) by a piezo-resistive effect, characterized in that the conductive track (10) includes at least one linear segment (10'; 10") which has a winding progression at the operating area (14).
