MOVABLE SPOILER DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240109609 titled 'MOVABLE SPOILER DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a movable spoiler device for vehicles, which includes a fixed part, a movable part, an actuator, and a cover member. The movable part can move between a storage position and a deployed position, protruding from the fixed part towards the rear of the vehicle. The actuator drives the movable part in a front-rear direction, while the cover member moves to cover the gap between the movable part and the fixed part when the movable part is deployed.
- Fixed part fixed on the body of a vehicle
- Movable part moves between storage and deployed positions
- Actuator drives the movable part in a front-rear direction
- Cover member moves to cover the gap between movable and fixed parts
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in sports cars, high-performance vehicles, and racing cars to enhance aerodynamics and improve stability at high speeds.
Problems Solved
The movable spoiler device helps reduce drag, increase downforce, and improve overall vehicle performance by adjusting the airflow around the vehicle according to driving conditions.
Benefits
- Improved aerodynamics - Enhanced stability - Increased performance - Customizable spoiler positions
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing Vehicle Performance with Movable Spoiler Devices"
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include similar spoiler devices used in the automotive industry, such as adjustable rear wings on race cars or active aerodynamic systems on high-end sports cars.

Original Abstract Submitted
a movable spoiler device is provided in the disclosure. the movable spoiler device includes: a fixed part, fixed on a body of a vehicle; a movable part, configured to be movable between a storage position connected to the fixed part and a deployed position protruding from the fixed part toward rear of the vehicle; an actuator, disposed on the fixed part and drives the movable part to move in a front-rear direction of the vehicle; and a cover member, disposed on the fixed part and connected to the movable part so as to be linked with the movable part, in which there is a gap between the movable part and the fixed part due to the movement of the movable part, when the movable part moves from the storage position to the deployed position, the cover member is driven by the movable part to move and cover the gap.
