SHUTTER DEVICE FOR A FRONT GRILLE OF A VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A shutter device for a front grille of a vehicle, the shutter device comprising:
- a frame including a first final stop and a second final stop spaced apart from the first final stop;
a driving flap pivotally coupled to the frame and configured to pivot between an airflow blocking position and an airflow opening position;
a rotary shaft having an axis of rotation and being coupled to the driving flap, the rotary shaft including a first stop and a second stop, the second stop being axially and angularly displaced with respect to the first stop; and
a rotary actuator coupled to the rotary shaft and configured to produce torque to cause the driving flap to pivot between the airflow blocking position and the airflow opening position;
when the driving flap is in the airflow blocking position the first stop is supported on the first final stop of the frame, and the second stop is supported on the second final stop of the frame.

Abstract
Shutter device for a front grille of a vehicle that according to one embodiment includes a frame, a driving flap pivotally coupled to the frame and suitable for pivoting between an airflow blocking position and an opening position. The driving flap is coupled to a rotary actuator by a rotary shaft for moving the driving flap. The shaft includes a first stop configured for being supported on a first final stop of the frame when the driving flap is arranged in the blocking position. The shaft also includes a second stop arranged on the shaft, the second stop being axially and angularly displaced with respect to the first stop, and is also configured for being supported on a second final stop of the frame when the driving flap is arranged in the blocking position.
