Abstract:
Switch assembly for the lift-and-slide roof of a vehicle, comprising: - a housing, - an actuating element, - a first pair of movable electrical switching contacts, - a second pair of movable electrical switching contacts,
characterized in that each longitudinal wall of the housing comprises a cross-shaped groove including a cross-shaped guiding track, said cross shaped groove receiving a projecting member of the actuating element and said guiding track receiving a pressure piece carried by the actuating element, and in that said cross shaped groove has end surfaces which form abutment surfaces for the corresponding surfaces of the projecting member.
Abstract:
An electronic visual display arrangement for a vehicle dashboard comprises: a electronic visual display (24) having a display surface (26); a main frame (12) for mounting the display (24) in a dashboard (14), the display being moveably connected to the main frame; a drive mechanism adapted to selectively move the display (24) between a first position and a second position relative to an inner dashboard compartment (30) in such a way that: when in the first position, the display (24) is positioned, with its display surface (26) apparent, to hide and block access to the inner dashboard compartment (30); and in the second position of the display (24), the inner compartment (30) is accessible from the passenger compartment.
Abstract:
An overhead console for a vehicle interior, comprising a storage module provided with a housing having an aperture, a cover pivotally mounted on the housing, a receptacle is pivotally mounted to the cover between a folded position and an unfolded position. The storage module can be set in a storage configuration, cover closed and receptacle folded inside the housing, or in a deployed configuration, cover open and receptacle unfolded allowing the user to easily grab an object stored in the receptacle. The storage configuration requires minimal height in the overhead module and the deployed configuration provides maximum accessibility.
Abstract:
Control device (10) comprising: - a carrier (12), - a control knob (18) which is movably mounted onto the carrier (12), - actuating levers (26) to be controlled by the displacement of the control knob (18) relative to said carrier (12) in order to cause switching contacts (34) to be actuated, said control knob (18) being displaceable along a first transverse direction (T1) towards an actuated position, and said control knob (18) being able to be turned on a main axis (X1) towards a first pivoted position, characterized in that the control knob (18) is connected to an actuating arm (36) which pivots, relative to the carrier (12), only when the control knob (18) is turned on the main axis (X1) towards its pivoted position, said actuating arm (36), when pivoted, causing additional switching contacts (43) to be actuated.
Abstract:
A rotary actuator assembly comprises a knob and an electric motor for providing a haptic effect at the knob and/or for driving the knob. The electric motor comprises a shaft, a gear assembly rotationally coupling the knob to the shaft of the electric motor, the gear assembly including a rotary oil damper damping the rotation of the knob. The rotary actuator assembly further comprises an optical rotation detection device for detecting direction, speed and/or angle of rotation of the knob and/or of the electric motor, wherein the optical rotation detection device is detecting the rotation of an element on the shaft.
Abstract:
A switch including a member adapted to be movable from a first to a second position, and a touch sensitive pad, said pad adapted to receive an input gesture, and including means to recognise said input gesture, the switch being further configured to move to an "on" or "off' state if both the input gesture is recognised and the movable member is moved from said first to said second position.
Abstract:
A switch assembly comprises a housing, an actuating member mounted on the housing and a plurality of electrical switching members. The actuating member is able to translate frontward and backward and to pivot upward and downward, thus cooperating with the electrical switching members to control the roof displacements. The switch assembly further comprises two sliders solely able to translate along the longitudinal axis. The sliders are driven by the actuating member and are cooperating with the switching members in order to generate a switching function controlling the roof displacements. The switching function is derived from the positions of the switching members actuated by both sliders.
