Abstract
An aerodynamically effective attachment part or spoiler extension is disclosed. The spoiler extension includes a guide arrangement having a first guide element formed between the spoiler extension and a base body of the spoiler arrangement. Transfer of the spoiler extension is guided from a release position, in which the spoiler extension is detachable from the base body, along at transfer direction into a locking position, in which the spoiler extension is secured on the base body. The spoiler extension includes a securing element able to secure the spoiler extension automatically on the base body of the spoiler arrangement in the locking position.
Claims16
An aerodynamically effective spoiler extension for a spoiler arrangement having a base body, the spoiler extension comprising:
- an extension body having at least one surface for changing the flow behavior of air flowing over the extension body;
- a guide arrangement including:
- a first guide element extending from the extension body, wherein a transfer of the spoiler extension along at least one transfer direction guides the first guide element from a release position in which the spoiler extension is removable from the base body into a locking position in which the spoiler extension is securable to the base body;
- and
- a securing element extending from the extension body and configured to automatically secure the spoiler extension on the base body in the locking position,
- wherein the guide arrangement further comprises an adjusting element for adjusting an angle of inclination of the extension body with respect to the base body.
A rear spoiler arrangement for a motor vehicle comprising:
- a base body configured to be arranged on a motor vehicle;
- at least one aerodynamically effective spoiler extension including:
- an extension body having at least one surface for changing the flow behavior of air flowing over the extension body;
- a guide arrangement including a first guide element extending from the extension body, and a transfer of the spoiler extension along at least one transfer direction guides the first guide element from a release position in which the spoiler extension is removable from the base body into a locking position in which the spoiler extension is securable to the base body;
- a securing element extending from the extension body and configured to automatically secure the spoiler extension on the base body in the locking position;
- and
- at least one adjusting element for adjusting an angle of inclination of the extension body with respect to the base body, the adjusting element including a surface shaping having an inclined section with respect to the transfer direction.
