Abstract

See full text

An integrated assembly includes a vehicle bumper system, and upper and lower air shutter sections with subassembled shutter vanes movable between closed and open positions, an actuator mechanism for moving the shutter members between positions. When in the fully open position, the shutter vanes are aerodynamically designed to minimize air drag, both as air flows past the vanes and also during after-vane airflow (and during after-bumper-beam airflow). When in the fully closed vane position, the vanes seal against each other to provide a highly efficient and leak-resistant air-blocking assembly.
