Abstract:
An active front deflector assembly having a deflector panel, actuator, and linkage assemblies each with a predetermined geometry and ratio of links to each other for movement of the active front deflector assembly between at least a deployed position and a retracted position. The deflector panel is positionable at multiple heights. The assembly deploys and retracts based on vehicle requirements, and, when deployed, redirects the air flow in the front of the vehicle to improve the vehicle aerodynamics for either fuel economy or performance characteristics. Additionally, it allows for the deflector panel to retract so the vehicle meets ground clearances, etc. The deflector panel is also both rigid and semi-rigid to absorb impact energy. A drive shaft transmits the drive from one side to the other side. The deflector is both rigid and semi rigid to absorb impact energy.

Claim (Index 17):
The active front deflector assembly of  claim 16 , wherein the at least two linkage assemblies each further comprise:\n a coupler link, where the coupler link is attached to the upper spine of the deflector panel; a fixed base link, where the fixed base link is attached to the vehicle; a drive link pivotably connected to the coupler link and fixed base link; and a follower link pivotably connected to the coupler link and fixed base link; wherein, where the parallelogram geometry and ratio of the links to each other allow movement of the deflector panel between at least the deployed and retracted position.
