Abstract:
The present invention relates to an interior trim component for a motor vehicle, in particular a dashboard, adapted for covering an airbag. The trim component is adapted to break along a main weakening line during deployment of the airbag, said trim component comprising an inside area relative to the main weakening line which defines a flap intended to extend over the airbag. The trim component comprises a notched element comprising a plurality of disjoint notches following one another along the main weakening line and having a generally concave shape relative to the inside area.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an instrument panel crossmember for vehicles that have different configurations, said crossmember (4) being intended to extend between two front pillars (28, 30) of a vehicle.According to the invention, the crossmember (4) comprises a first portion (22) extending opposite the vehicle driving seat, one end of said first portion (22) being intended to connect to a front pillar (28) of the vehicle, the other end being connected to a fixing device (26), said fixing device (26) being designed selectively to support one end of a second portion (24) extending facing the vehicle passenger seat and/or a strut (20) designed to connect said crossmember (4) to the floor (16) of the vehicle, depending on the configuration of the vehicle.
Abstract:
A trim element that includes a support element having an inner face and an outer face. The support element has at least one central area covered on the outer face thereof by a layer of foam. The support element includes at least one tab protruding from the inner face thereof near the central area, the tab forming a positioning element for positioning the support element in a production tool of the trim element.
Abstract:
Storage device (2) includes a receptacle (12), a concealing wall (10) and articulation element (18). The receptacle (12) has a cavity (14) delimited by a cylindrical shell of substantially circular cross-section extending along a substantially vertical axis (20), the shell having a radial opening (16) for access to the cavity. The concealing wall (10) has the shape of a portion of a cylinder extending substantially along the axis. The articulation element (18) moves the concealing wall (10) and the receptacle (12) relative to one another by rotation about the axis between a closed position in which the radial opening is concealed by the concealing wall and an open position in which the radial opening is substantially remote from the wall.
Abstract:
A trim panel intended to be arranged within the interior of a vehicle cabin, the trim panel having an appearance face intended to be visible to an occupant of the cabin, a reverse face provided with an interface for attachment of the trim panel to a support member, and at least one attachment bracket forming part of the attachment interface. The appearance face defines a tactile interaction area intended to serve as a control input for the occupant, and at least one sensor assembly is arranged on an attachment bracket, each sensor assembly being adapted to, when the trim panel is arranged inside a cabin, detect a deformation of its attachment bracket upon pressure exerted by an occupant on the trim panel on the tactile interaction area.
Abstract:
A detection device that includes: a substrate having a first and a second side; a force sensor, attached to the first side of the substrate so as to cover a first area; and a conductive track extending on the first side from the force sensor. The detection device further includes: a layer of a first rigid adhesive, attached to the second side of the substrate, so as to cover a second area; the first and second areas being arranged opposite one another; and two through slots in the substrate, surrounding the second area, with the conductive track arranged between the two slots.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an assembly part for connecting a dashboard to a body part of a vehicle, the assembly part comprising:
a male first portion able to engage with the dashboard, and a female second portion able to engage with the body part of the vehicle via a unidirectional and adjustable approaching movement, the male portion being substantially flat and extending in a longitudinal direction from a first end in contact with the female portion to a hook-shaped free second end, the male portion and/or the female portion being configured to prevent translational movement between the dashboard and the body part when the male portion is engaged with the dashboard and the female portion is engaged with the body part.
Abstract:
A locking device that includes: a locking element, movable between a locked position and an unlocked position and being forced to its locked position, a pin, and an actuator of the pin, the pin being configured to move the locking element from the locked position to the unlocked position when the actuator is actuated by changing the shape of a shape memory element. The pin is movable between: an extended position, in which it moves the locking element from its locked position to its unlocked position, and a retracted position, in which it releases the movement of the locking element to its locked position.
Abstract:
A dashboard crossbeam assembly for a vehicle includes a dashboard crossbeam with a first longitudinal portion, preferably made of plastic-containing material, the first longitudinal portion forming a plurality of fastening interfaces. Each fastening interface has a recess for receiving a lug. The dashboard crossbeam assembly further includes at least one fastening tab having at least one lug received in one of the recesses forming a fastening interface.
Abstract:
A sewing assembly to make a seam along a determined path on a surface of a part. The sewing assembly includes a mask adapted to be fixed to the part and a sewing machine, the mask having a guide groove adapted to be superimposed on the path. The sewing machine includes a base and a head. The head has at least one needle, a part support foot and a guide, the guide including a front guide and a rear guide arranged to interact with the mask and spaced apart from each other along the guide groove. The at least one needle and the support foot are engaged in the groove between the front guide and the rear guide.
