Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a safety device for a vehicle arranged facing an airbag and comprising: a chute channel defining a housing for receiving the airbag and delimiting a deployment opening; a flap covering the opening of the chute channel in the non-inflated state of the airbag; a flexible net retaining the flap relative to the chute channel during the deployment of said airbag, comprising metal wires, extending in a main direction, from a first portion embedded in a fastening member of the flap to the chute channel, to a second portion embedded in the flap and comprising an articulation portion located between said first and second portions; and wherein the articulation portion of the net has a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge devoid of an exposed free end of metal wire.
Abstract:
A trim assembly having a trim element and an air vent designed to be supplied with air. The trim element includes a first face designed to be oriented toward a user, a second face opposite the first face, and an edge extending between the first face and the second face. The air vent is positioned to generate a jet of air flowing along the second face toward the edge.
Abstract:
A lining element includes at least one decorative layer formed from at least one complex that includes both a ligneous material layer having a backside and a front side and a reinforcement layer extending over the backside of the ligneous material layer. The decorative layer further includes at least one additional layer made in a material different from the ligneous material. The front side of the additional layer substantially extends in the continuity of the front side of the complex. The additional layer and the complex are attached to each other through at least one seam.
Abstract:
A display device for a vehicle includes: a first transparent or translucent layer comprising a pictogram, a second transparent or translucent layer, covering the pictogram, a liquid crystal display, arranged in line with the pictogram, and a light source configured to emit light to illuminate the pictogram by passing through the liquid crystal display and the second layer. The liquid crystal display at least partially covers the second layer, and an assembly formed by the first layer and the second layer is rigid.
Abstract:
A control panel having: a trim element having a first outer face and a first inner face; a support element having a second outer face oriented towards the first inner face of the trim element and a second inner face opposite to said second outer face; and a group of force sensors configured for detecting a control force applied to the first outer face within a control area. The support element has, within a detection area extending around the group of control areas, a mechanical weakening formed by a recess in the second inner face.
Abstract:
A human-machine interface device includes a touch panel having a front surface intended to be visible to a user and a rear surface, the touch panel being configured to detect an interaction of the user with the touch panel and being resiliently deformable, and a plurality of actuators arranged behind the touch panel, each actuator being controllable between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration wherein the actuator deforms an area of the touch panel located opposite the actuator by forming a bump protruding from the front surface of the touch panel. The human-machine interface device has at least one configuration wherein several actuators in the extended position together define a single control element protruding from the front surface of the touch panel.
Abstract:
A human-machine interface device that includes a touch-sensitive device having a touch-sensitive surface, a rotatable control knob axially movable between a high position, an intermediate position, and a low position, the control knob being electrically connected with the touch-sensitive surface permanently via a first contact element. The control knob is electrically connected with the touch-sensitive surface via a second contact element in the high position and the intermediate position but not in the low position, and the control knob is electrically connected to the touch-sensitive surface via a third contact element in the upper position but not in the intermediate position and the low position.
Abstract:
A method for regulating comfort in a passenger compartment of a vehicle, the passenger compartment including a seat, a radiant panel, and a heating device for the seat; the method being implemented by a controller having a memory containing a pre-established map. The method includes the following steps: acquiring a data item that is characteristic of the state of the passenger compartment, the characteristic data item including the temperature of the passenger compartment; determining, from the map, an optimal comfort level as a function of the characteristic data item; reading, in the map, regulation values associated with the optimal comfort level, the regulation values including values representative of the operating power of the radiant panel and of the heating device for the seat; and transmitting the read regulation values to the radiant panel and to the heating device.
Abstract:
A manufacturing method for a trim element, which includes the following steps: supplying a mold in an open configuration which has a first mold part and a second mold part; positioning a first pre-formed decoration against the first mold part; positioning a wedge in contact with an edge of the first decoration; positioning a second flexible décor; closing the mold in a closed configuration, where the second decoration sits between the two mold parts; and back-injecting a substrate into the molding cavity, where the second decoration is pushed by the substrate against the first decoration. Also provided is an associated manufacturing device.
Abstract:
A visualization system that includes a support member, defining an outer surface and an inner surface, and a visualization device having at least one display device extending on the inner surface of the support member and at least one image acquisition device. The acquisition device includes an image sensor and a base and is movable in relation to the support member between a deployed position, in which the base extends mainly on the outer surface side of the support member, and a retracted position, wherein the base extends mainly on the inner surface side of the support member.
