Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A rear spoiler for a motor vehicle has a spoiler body ( 14 ) for deflecting a stream of air to provide an aerodynamic effect. The spoiler body ( 14 ) has a main spoiler ( 16 ) with a main surface ( 21 ) and an auxiliary spoiler ( 18 ) with an auxiliary surface ( 62 ). A multi-jointed actuating kinematics ( 34 ) can move the main spoiler ( 16 ) and the auxiliary spoiler ( 18 ) between a storage position where the auxiliary surface ( 62 ) of the auxiliary spoiler ( 18 ) is at least partially below the main spoiler ( 16 ) and a use position where the auxiliary spoiler ( 18 ) is substantially in a common plane with the main surface ( 21 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A rear spoiler for a motor vehicle, comprising a spoiler body for deflecting a stream of air to provide an aerodynamic effect, the spoiler body having a main spoiler with opposite upper and lower main surfaces and, the spoiler body further having an auxiliary spoiler with an upper auxiliary surface; and multi-jointed actuating kinematics for shifting the spoiler body between a storage position where the upper auxiliary surface of the auxiliary spoiler is a…
