Abstract
A motor vehicle, especially a passenger car, is provided with an air-conducting device arranged in its rear area. The air conducting device can be moved by way of an adjusting mechanism from a rest position flush with the adjacent body of the rear area into a driven-out operating position. The adjusting mechanism includes two openers arranged in side areas of the air-conducting device for moving the air-conducting device. In order to be able to adjust an air-conducting element continuously from a lowered rest position and a raised operating position, each opener is connected via a swivel-joint on a bearing part that is fastened to the vehicle and aligned vertically.
Claims17
A motor vehicle having a rear area, the motor vehicle comprising:
- an air conducting device operatively arranged in the rear area;
- an adjusting mechanism operatively configured to move the air-conducting device from a rest position in which the air-conducting device is flush with an adjacent body of the rear area into a driven-out operating position;
- wherein the adjusting mechanism comprises two openers arranged in side areas of the air-conducting device for moving the air-conducting device;
- and
- a bearing part fastened to the vehicle in a substantially perpendicular alignment to the adjacent body, each opener being connected in a swivel-jointed manner on the bearing part.
A motor vehicle having a rear area, the motor vehicle comprising:
- a rear lid in the rear area of the motor vehicle;
- a cross-member arranged under the rear lid;
- a bearing part substantially perpendicularly aligned to an adjacent body of the rear area and fastened on a front surface of the cross-member;
- an air conducting device operatively arranged in the rear area of the motor vehicle and being movable from a rest position where the air-conducting device is flush with the adjacent body of the rear area of the motor vehicle and forward of the rear lid and a driven-out operating position where the air conducting device is spaced outwardly from the adjacent body of the rear area of the motor vehicle and rearward of the first position;
- and
- an adjusting mechanism operatively configured to move the air conducting device from the rest position to the driven-out operating position, the adjusting mechanism comprising two openers arranged at side areas of the air-conducting device, each of the openers comprising two control arms, each of the control arms having a first end pivotally connected to the bearing part at a first swivel joint and a second end remote from the first end, each of the openers further comprising a connecting element pivotally connected to the respective second ends of the control arms at second swivel joints and further being connected to the air conducting device, whereby driving forces applied to the control arms move the air conducting device upwardly and rearwardly from the rest position to the driven out position or inwardly and forwardly from the driven-out position to the rest position.
