    Abstract: A closure arrangement for closing a fuel inlet compartment of a motor vehicle body, including a guide device fixed to the vehicle, a cover element displaceably guided on the guide device between a closed position in which the fuel inlet compartment is closed and an open position in which the fuel inlet compartment is open. The guided displacement of the cover element between the closed and open positions includes reciprocating movement and longitudinal movements. The closure arrangement has a drive device operatively connected to the cover element and drives same between the closed and open positions. The drive device has a drive rod element acting axially indirectly on the cover element so as to transmit pulling and pushing forces. The cover element is displaceable between the closed and the open positions by an axial drive movement of the drive rod element with reciprocating and longitudinal movement.

    Abstract: An assembly for providing stabilising guidance to a semi-plug aircraft door equipped with an opening/closing mechanism. The door frame (3) is provided with stops (7) at the front and at the rear of the door with its stops (8) bears when it is closed. A door arm (4) links the door (2) to the door frame (3). A guiding connecting rod (6), referred to as a stabilising guiding connecting rod and located on a door edge (2h) extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, is mobile, being able to move in translation at one of its ends in relation to the door in the longitudinal direction of the aircraft during the phases of disengaging and re-engaging the stops (7, 8). During the swivelling and swivelling return phases, the stabilising rod (6) is locked to the door by a lever locking mechanism (9) being actuated by a return device.
