Abstract:
The roof (2) includes an opaque front part (3) and a transparent rear part (4) and is pivotally supported by two rear lateral supports (6) about a transverse axis (A). The boot lid (8) has a central recess (8b) in which the roof (2) is housed when it is pivoted backwards into the open position.
Abstract:
The sunroof system (R) comprises a cover or roof element (3) which swivels about a horizontal axis (4-4) between two facing uprights (5) projecting upwards above the body line (BL) of the bodywork of the motor vehicle (1), and a stowage compartment (7) open at the top, made in the motor vehicle (1) between and beneath the said uprights (5) . The cover or roof element (3) swivelling between a closed position in which it extends at least approximately horizontally and an open intermediate position in which it extends basically vertically, and then being movable downwards, from the open intermediate position towards a final hidden position in which it extends substantially vertically into the stowage compartment (7) . Between the uprights (5) a rear window (6) is fixed and with them forms an assembly that swivels about a horizontal transverse axis (B-B) near the body line (BL) of the motor vehicle (1), between an extracted or raised position in which the rear window (6) can connect with the roof (3) in the closed position, and a retracted or lowered position in which the uprights (5) extend partly below the said body line (BL) and the window (6) lies at least approximately horizontally.
Abstract:
A system (10) for generating electric current comprises a carriageway with two electrically connected lanes: a lane (20) with piezoelectric element electric current generating panels (12) (14) and a dynamic induction charging lane (18) for electrically charging an electric vehicle transiting the carriageway. Panels (12) electric current generators may be applied to forward-facing, submerged surfaces (24) of the hull (26) of a vessel, or applied to the forward-facing, outer surfaces of an aircraft.
Abstract:
The automobile vehicle (1) having a bodywork (2) in which a member or panel (W) is mounted and is operationally cleaned without wipers, a frame (3) being associated with its perimeter or contour. The surface of the member or panel (W) which is external in operation is water-repellent. Ejector means (5, 6, A, B) associated with the member or panel (W) comprise: a first plurality of openings or nozzles (A) for the discharge of a liquid provided in the frame (3), oriented towards the external surface of the member or panel (W), a second plurality of openings or nozzles (B) for the discharge of a gaseous fluid also provided in the frame (3) and interspersed with the openings or nozzles (A) of the first plurality, a first manifold duct (5) provided in the frame (3) and communicating with at least part of the liquid discharge openings or nozzles (A), and a second manifold duct (6) provided in the frame (3) and communicating with at least part of the discharge openings or nozzles (B) of the gaseous fluid. The first and second manifold ducts (5, 6) are connected to respective supply devices (10, 14) adapted to supply them with a flow of liquid and a flow of gaseous fluid respectively. The preferably combined action of the jets of liquid and gaseous fluid emitted through the openings or nozzles (A, B) is adapted to cause a turbulent movement of the liquid on the external surface of the member or panel (W) and of the materials which may be incorporated in this liquid.
Abstract:
The two side doors (2a, 2b) and the rear door (2c) of a three-door motor vehicle are each symmetrical about a vertical axis (A), and can be opened in both directions and are the same as each other. The two rear windows may also be symmetrical and the same as each other.
Abstract:
The roof (2) includes an opaque front part (3) and a transparent rear part (4) and is pivotally supported by two rear lateral supports (6) about a transverse axis (A). The boot lid (8) has a central recess (8b) in which the roof (2) is housed when it is pivoted backwards into the open position.
Abstract:
The supporting structural element (1) comprises a shaped rigid body (2) in which are formed: two transversely adjacent cellular formations (3), intended to receive corresponding padding means (4, 5) to form seats; each of the said cellular formations (3) has a seat portion (3a) and a backrest portion (3b) ; an intermediate formation (6) shaped like an inverted channel, which interconnects the seat portions (3a) of the aforesaid cellular formations (3) , forming a tunnel (7) ; a horizontal or virtually horizontal upper planar formation (9) , which interconnects the upper backrest portions (3b) of the cellular formations (3) , and a rear formation (10) , essentially in the shape of a dihedral, with a first wing or skirt (10a) which is substantially horizontal and extends behind the seat portions (3a) of the cellular formations (3) , and with a second wing or skirt (10b) which extends between the upper planar formation (9) and the said first wing or skirt (10a) , behind and distant from the backrest portions (3b) of the cellular formations (3) such that a compartment or receptacle (11) is formed.
Abstract:
The fork (10) comprises a pair of legs (16) adapted to sup¬ port for rotation a wheel (18) and a hydraulic braking device including a pair of hydraulic braking actuators (26) , each of which is mounted on a respective leg (16) and is provided with a friction member (38) . Each braking actuator (26) is arranged to press the respective friction member (38) against a braking surface (20a) of the wheel (18) so as to exert a braking force. According to the invention, each leg (16) has, on the side facing the wheel (18) , a side abutment surface (24), a lower support surface (50) and a front stop surface (52), and each hydraulic actuator (26) has an outer side face (28) arranged against the side abutment surface (24), a lower face (32) resting on the lower support surface (50), a front face (34) retained longitudinally by the front stop surface (52) and an inner side face (30) on which the friction member (38) is mounted.
