Abstract:
A control panel for a vehicle includes a flexible trim element, a rigid supporting member, a piezoelectric sensor arranged between the trim element and the supporting member, and a flexible element arranged between the piezoelectric sensor and the rigid supporting member.
Abstract:
A crosspiece for a vehicle dashboard extends in a longitudinal direction and has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is made of a first material and has a closed cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and a hollow joining end. The second portion has a main part extending in the longitudinal direction, and a joining part fitted into the joining end of the first portion. The main part has an open cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction that is adapted for demolding in a demolding direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction during manufacture of the second portion of the crosspiece. The joining part has a closed hollow cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction that is adapted for demolding in the longitudinal direction during manufacture of the second portion of the crosspiece.
Abstract:
A support for receiving and holding a device, such as a smart phone, in a vehicle. The support includes a first jaw, able to receive a first edge of the device, and a second jaw, able to receive a second edge of the device. The support also includes a sheath, an arm, and a first return means, the arm being able to translate relative to the sheath. The arm includes two segments, articulated to one another using a rotation axis, and the first return means tends to rotate the distal segment relative to the proximal segment, in the direction bringing the second jaw closer to the first jaw.
Abstract:
A trim part for an interior of a vehicle, the trim part having a substantially rigid carrier including a front side and a rear side and a covering arranged on the front side of the substrate. The substrate and the covering are connected to each other by a yarn seam. Also provided is a method for producing such a trim part and a sewing machine for making such a trim part.
Abstract:
A control panel and method of making a control panel for a dashboard of a passenger compartment of a vehicle. The control panel includes a trim element, a support element and a piezoelectric film. The trim element includes at least one control area. The piezoelectric film extends between the trim element and the support element. The support element has at least one recess facing the control area.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a vehicle dashboard crossmember (2) including a crossbar which extends lengthwise along a generatrix line (G) that is directed substantially along the width of the vehicle body and transversely relative to the direction of travel of said vehicle, as well as at least one connection flange (3, 4) designed to enable said crossbar (2) to be attached to said body, said crossbar (2) consisting, over at least a portion of the length thereof, of a load-bearing web (10) that has a side wall (11) rounded about said generatrix line (G) so as to have, in a cross-section perpendicular to the generatrix line, a first arm (12) and a second arm (13) that are connected to one another via a common connection portion (14) and which thus define a cavity (15), and of a reinforcing brace (20) made of a fibrous composite material.
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 method for injection molding of an airbag case comprising a chute channel and a flap, with the chute channel being adapted to receive an airbag. The injection molding is carried out in a mold and comprises the following steps: arranging in the mold a net, manufacturing the flap and the chute channel by injecting plastic matter into the mold, by overmolding plastic matter on the net by manufacturing a continuity of material between the chute channel and the flap, with a portion of the net being isolated from the injected plastic material, in a closed protective space delimited between a wedge mobile and a first matrix of the mold. An airbag case in particular manufactures with such a method and dashboard for a vehicle.
Abstract:
An aerator having a duct and a deflector member to deflect the flow of air leaving the duct, the deflector member being mounted movably relative to the duct by means of an articulation. The deflector member extends around the articulation. The articulation includes a male part having a head and a female part having a housing, the head being received in the housing to allow the adjustment of the deflector member relative to the duct. The female part further includes at least one pressing element biased to bear against the head by an elastic biasing element.
Abstract:
A vehicle trim element that includes at least one supporting layer having an internal face and an external face, and a skin having an internal face and an external face. The internal face of the skin covers the external face of the supporting layer in at least one detection area. The supporting layer has a through-orifice extending from the internal face to the external face of the supporting layer. At least one detection element is located in the through-orifice. The detection element is in constant contact with the portion of the internal face of the skin covering the through-orifice of the supporting layer.
