Claims6
A transmission arrangement for a radiator grille of a motor vehicle, the radiator grille including a frame, a strut which separates air passage openings of the radiator grill from each other, and a controllable air inlet having at least one closing element mounted for pivoting movement about a pivot axis, the transmission arrangement comprising:
- a transmission element mounted to the strut for displaceable movement relative thereto in both a rectilinear and a curved direction which controls the pivoting movement of the at least one closing element, the transmission element comprising a single plastic component having at least one elongate transmission element body with a tapering web and a link member arranged at a connection region of the tapering web in a flexible elastic manner, the link member being connected to the at least one closing element via a pin member arranged outside the pivot axis of the at least one closing element in a manner permitting the pivoting movement of the at least one closing element during the displacement movement of the transmission element.
A transmission element for controlling movement of an air inlet of a motor vehicle, the air inlet including at least one closing element mounted for pivoting movement about a pivot axis, the transmission element comprising:
- a transmission element body comprising a single plastic component having at least one elongate transmission element body with a tapering web and a link member arranged at a connection region of the tapering web in a flexible elastic manner, the link member being connected to the at least one closing element via a pin member arranged outside the pivot axis of the at least one closing element in a manner permitting the pivoting movement of the at least one closing element during the displacement movement of the transmission element.
A transmission element for controlling movement of an air inlet of a motor vehicle, the air inlet including at least one closing element mounted for pivoting movement about a pivot axis, the transmission element comprising:
- a transmission element body comprising a single plastic component having at least one elongate transmission element body with a web member and a link member arranged at a connection region of the web member in a flexible elastic manner, the link member comprising a pin receptacle to receive a pin member arranged outside the pivot axis of the at least one closing element in a manner permitting the pivoting movement of the at least one closing element during the displacement movement of the transmission element, wherein the web member is tapered in a direction of the pin receptacle.
