Abstract:
An active front deflector assembly having a deflector panel, actuator, and linkage assemblies each with a predetermined ratio of the links to each other for motion of the deflector panel. 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. The drive shaft transmits the drive from the actuator coupled to one linkage assembly to the other linkage assembly for moving the deflector panel between the deployed/retracted positions. The actuator is clutched to prevent damage to the system.

Claim (Index 18):
The active front deflector assembly of  claim 17 , wherein the actuator has object detection and declutches upon impact at a predetermined force the deflector panel to rotate freely out of the way to prevent damage, wherein this motion is achieved with the geometry of the linkage systems and the ratio of the links to each other.
