20080272616 | Air Guidance Device for the Rear Section of a Motor Vehicle - An air guidance device for the rear section of a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle has at least one first tail light and at least one second tail light. The tail lights are disposed at the respective sides of the vehicle and they are spaced apart by a spacing distance in the transverse direction of the vehicle. The air guidance device is movable between a rest position, in which the air guidance device lies substantially within the vehicle contour, and an operating position, in which the air guidance device extends beyond the vehicle contour. In the rest position, the air guidance device covers at least partially the area between the first tail light and the second tail light. The maximum width of the air guidance device is greater than the spacing device between the first tail light and the second tail light. | 11-06-2008 |
20120012411 | COOLING AIR GUIDE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - An outlet air guide is formed between a front skirt and a body shell undersurface of a vehicle. The guide has at least one outlet opening having an outlet gap configured so that an outlet air flow can be guided out parallel to the undersurface from a radiator. | 01-19-2012 |
20120013146 | AIR GUIDING DEVICE - The air guiding device has one or more air guiding bodies. Each air guiding body has an elongate attachment that extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle that bulges in a convex manner, is composed of a flexible or soft-elastic material and is embodied in the form of a half shell having a lateral elongate opening and can be adjusted automatically in the driving condition from a rest position into an operative position, in which it can be lowered in the direction of the roadway. In the rest position, the air guiding body is arranged close to the undersurface and, in the operative position, the air guiding body is held in a lowered position relative to the undersurface. | 01-19-2012 |
20120068498 | AIR GUIDING DEVICE - An air guiding device is arranged in a front end part of a motor vehicle and has an air guiding duct containing a radiator unit through which fresh air flows. A wheel house grille is arranged in the guiding duct downstream of the radiator unit. The wheel house grille has differently positioned air guiding slats for the passage of radiator outlet air. The air guiding slats are positioned so that part of the radiator outlet air is guided to the vehicle outside and a further part of the radiator outlet air can be supplied to the vehicle inside and via a deflecting blade to a wheel brake for cooling. The air guiding slats may also be closed over subregions by means of a facing such that no outlet air can flow through the slats in the subregions. | 03-22-2012 |
20120071075 | AIR GUIDING DEVICE FOR GUIDING RADIATOR OUTLET AIR FOR A RADIATOR UNIT - Air guiding devices are provided in the front end of a vehicle in proximity to the front wheels. Each air guiding device has a laterally arranged air guiding duct with an air inlet opening for guiding radiator fresh air to a radiator and an outlet opening downstream behind the radiator unit for supplying the radiator outlet air to a wheel house. A closure element is arranged in the air outlet opening of the air guiding duct. The closure element is arranged transversely in the vehicle and has adjustable flaps. A separate flow duct is oriented in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The separate flow duct has an air entry opening arranged in the transverse plane of the closure element and an air exit opening directed toward a brake disk of a braking system in the front wheel of the vehicle. | 03-22-2012 |
20120206827 | EXTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRROR FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - To avoid wind noises and to reduce soiling of mirror glass during travel in the rain, the exterior rear view mirror for a motor vehicle has a droplet channel in a first circumferential region of the mirror housing that includes the housing top and a separation edge in a second circumferential region on the housing bottom. The droplet channel and the separation edge overlap in a lateral region. Rain droplets that strike the mirror housing during travel flow both on the bottom housing side and on the top housing side toward the rear edge of the housing. Water droplets flowing on the bottom are collected by the separation edge and are blown away by the air flow which is directed down at the separation edge. On the housing top side, the droplets are collected by the droplet channel and conducted away laterally toward the housing bottom. | 08-16-2012 |
20130062132 | COOLING DEVICE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - A cooling device for a motor vehicle has an internal combustion engine in a rear region of a vehicle body and has a charge air cooler arranged below an extendable rear spoiler. The charge air cooler is arranged in an oblique plane in an air deflection duct of the vehicle body and has inflow air flowing through it. Downstream of the charge air cooler, the air deflection duct is configured as an outflow air nozzle that narrows toward the end and is arranged to achieve a horizontal discharge of the outflow air. | 03-14-2013 |
20130068547 | REAR SPOILER WITH A COOLING DEVICE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - A rear spoiler of a motor vehicle is coupled to a charge air cooler that is arranged vertically in the transverse direction of the vehicle. The rear spoiler together with the charge air cooler is adjustable into an inoperative and an operative position. The charge air cooler has an active position when the rear spoiler is in the operative position so that cooling air can flow through the charge air cooler. | 03-21-2013 |
20130248265 | MOTOR VEHICLE WITH A DEVICE FOR SUPPLYING COOLING AIR - A motor vehicle has at least one adjustable air-guiding device on the underbody. The air-guiding device has a cross-sectionally U-shaped duct and is adjustable between a closed position and an open position. The motor vehicle also has a radiator device with a radiator and a radiator shutter with adjustable flaps for controlling the air flow through the radiator. A control device actuates the air-guiding device depending on the position of the radiator shutter so that, irrespective of the position of the flaps of the radiator shutter, an at least approximately identical pitching moment is obtained at the motor vehicle and at the same time the aerodynamic drag is reduced. | 09-26-2013 |
