DEVICE FOR HEIGHT SETTING OF AN AIR DEFLECTOR, AND AIR DEFLECTOR PROVIDED WITH SUCH DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a device for height setting of an air deflector (40) comprising a shield (42) adapted to being pivotable about a forward horizontal spindle (46) associated with a vehicle roof (62). According to the invention there are a spring (10) which endeavours to pivot the shield (42) about the spindle (46) in an upward direction from the roof (62), an elongate pull means (30) connected to the shield (42) for manual height setting of the shield against the action of the spring (10), and a locking mechanism (20), acting between the pull means (30) and the shield (42) and operable by pulling force applied to the pull means (30), to lock the shield (42) in a relevant height position upon removal force from the pull means (30), and to release the shield, enabling it to move to a different height position, upon application of pulling force to the pull means (30).
