Abstract
An air-guide installation for motor vehicles, especially station wagons, which is constructed as profile bar that projects from the vehicle outer body panel within the transition area between roof and rear part, extends in the vehicle transverse direction and is effective as spoiler; the profile bar is thereby adapted to be extended away from the outer body panel so that an air-guide channel results between the outer body panel and the bottom side of the profile bar.
Claims21
An air-guide installation for motor vehicles, comprising profile bar means arranged at a vehicle outer body panel means within a transition area between a roof of the motor vehicle and rear portion thereof and extends in a vehicle transverse direction, characterized in that the profile bar means is effective as a spoiler for reducing air resistance in a first position wherein a bottom side of the profile bar means contacts the vehicle outer body panel means within the transition area and projects outwardly therefrom, and in that means are provided for selectively displacing the profile bar means from the first position to a second extended position away from the outer body panel means in the transition area so that an air-guide channel results between the outer body panel means and the bottom side of the profile bar means.
An air-guide installation for motor vehicles, comprising profile bar means which is effective as a spoiler, projects from the vehicle outer body panel means within the transition area between roof and rear portion and extends in the vehicle transverse direction, characterized in that automatic means are provided for operably extending the profile bar means away from the outer body panel means so that an air-guide channel results between the outer body panel means and the bottom side of the profile bar means, the automatic means includes a moisture sensor means for detecting the presence of moisture on the road.
