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 frame (10) comprises a seat tube (11) to the top end (lla) of which a saddle (12) is to be connected, and a front structure (14) and a rear structure (15) which are identical and have, in side view, a generally V-shaped configuration with the ends (14a, 14b; 15a, 15b) connected to the seat tube (11) and the respective vertices (14c, 15c) facing in opposite directions relative to the seat tube (11) .
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.
Abstract:
The monitoring of the footprints (Z) of the tyres (P), preferably by means of piezoresistive rubber sensors (1) incorporated in the tyres (P), enables the bearing forces to be distributed automatically amongst the various tyres (P) so as to optimise the behaviour of the motor vehicle, for example, in dependence on different driving styles or in dependence on different ambient conditions.
Abstract:
The platform (1) includes a pair of end structures (2) which protrudingly extend, on longitudinally opposite sides, from an intermediate portion or structure (3) which comprises a longitudinal inverted-channel formation (4) which extends between transversely intermediate portions of the end structures (2) and a pair of transverse inverted-channel formations (5) which extend on opposite sides from an intermediate portion of the longitudinal formation (4). Each transverse formation (5) is connected to the end structures (2) and to the longitudinal formation (4) by means of a platform portion (6), which joins at the bottom the transverse formation (5) to the longitudinal formation (4), and an inclined plate portion (7), which joins the platform portion (6) to the adjacent end structure (2).
