Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the signaling lights of vehicles, in particular of motor vehicles, and in particular a light in which part of the light flux generated by the light source is emitted by the light in the direction of the lateral region of the vehicle, so that it takes the place simultaneously, with the same light source, of axial signaling light (position light) and lateral marker.
  • a lateral marking function which is compulsory in certain countries, is to indicate the presence of the vehicle when, at night, it is observed from the side.
  • French Patent No. 77 01895 published in the name of the Applicant proposes a traffic light in which a single mono-filament lamp is associated with a first reflector, for generating an axial light beam to a light function position, and a second reflector arranged on the interior side of the lamp and intended to return towards the opposite side, that is to say towards the lateral region of the vehicle, part of the light rays emitted by the lamp, in order to fill a side marker function.
  • a catadioptric element which is provided in the lateral region of this light and which would normally obstruct this lateral beam, is modified to let it pass, by diffusing it.
  • the arrangement of the constituent elements is such that the light necessarily occupies a great depth, and that it can in no case be adapted to light blocks of shallow depth (flat profile) as currently desired on the market.
  • this type of light it is necessary to provide two separate reflective elements, which results in a complicated and expensive structure.
  • the present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks of the prior art and to propose a signaling light for a vehicle which, while being of limited depth, can ensure with great efficiency both the function of axial position light and the function side marker.
  • the invention relates to an axial and lateral vehicle signaling light comprising a luminous filament, a reflector, and a closing glass (or closing globe) comprising a front part and a side part separated by a corner region.
  • the reflector comprises a first reflecting part, intended to return the light rays emitted by the filament substantially in the axial direction of the vehicle, and a second reflecting part intended to return the light rays emitted by the filament towards the region of corner of the closing glass, in a substantially transverse direction, said corner region comprising on its inner surface diffracting elements so as to distribute the light flux reflected by the second part of the reflector over the lateral region of the vehicle.
  • the fire further comprises diffracting elements (18) provided on the part front (16a) of the closing glass to ensure diffusion of the light rays extending in the axial direction of the vehicle.
  • FIG. 1 there is partially shown a block of left rear signal lights of a motor vehicle.
  • This block conventionally comprises a horizontal succession of signaling lights such as position lights, flashing lights, stop lights, reversing lights, etc.
  • the position light is located at the far left of the block.
  • the invention applies very particularly to lights or blocks of lights called “back flap", that is to say that the closing glass is curved so as to substantially match the shape of the associated corner of the vehicle.
  • the position light is arranged to carry out signaling in the axis of the vehicle (position light function) and lateral signaling of the vehicle. More specifically, the light shown comprises a lamp 10 comprising a single filament 12, a reflector 14 intended to return, along specific paths explained below, the light emitted by the filament 12, and a closing glass (or globe) 16, for example colored.
  • the closing glass 16 comprises a first part 16a extending at the rear of the vehicle, and a second part 16b extending on the side of the vehicle, a curved part 16c forming a corner connecting the two parts 16a and 16b.
  • the block of lights comprises a lateral retro-reflecting element schematically indicated in 19. It may be noted here that, due to the generally flat design of the envisaged block of lights, the retro-reflecting element 19 extends substantially at the height of the lamp 10 fire, and it is impossible to carry it further forward of the vehicle (upwards in Figure 1).
  • the reflector 14 is constituted by a first part 14a of parabolic shape, the axis of which is substantially aligned with the axis of the vehicle, and the focal point of which is located approximately at the location of the filament 12.
  • This reflecting part 14a is arranged to create a beam of parallel rays, as indicated in 20 and 22, extending towards the rear of the vehicle and intended to fulfill the position light function.
  • closing glass 16 is provided, in a manner known per se, diffracting elements 18, in the present example substantially hemispherical balls, intended to give the rays of the axial beam of position light a slight deviation. We can of course use any other type of surface irregularity to obtain this result.
  • the reflector 14 further comprises a second part 14b, in this case unitary and without discontinuity with the first part 14a, which is approximately focused on the filament 12.
  • the reflecting part 14b corresponds to the region of the lateral cheek interior of the reflector 14, and is intended to return the rays which are emitted laterally by the filament 12 towards the region of the corner of the light, that is to say substantially towards the free space between the free end edge 14c of the part 14a of the reflector and the region of the corner 16c of the closing glass 16.
  • FIG. 1 There is shown in Figure 1 two reflected rays 24 and 26 slightly convergent. It is understood that the reflecting zone 14b will be adapted as a function of each case, so that most of the reflected beam which it creates meets the zone of the corner 16c of the closing glass. Thus, part 14b can be given a parabolic, elliptical, etc. shape, focused approximately on the filament 12.
  • the reflecting part 14b thus creates a lateral beam whose light energy concentration is relatively high, and the rays arriving in the region 16c are deflected as indicated by the diffracting elements 18 so as to obtain, in the lateral region of the vehicle, a characteristic photometric according to the function of lateral marker.
  • the diffracting elements 18 will be arranged so that the minimum angle of visibility towards the opposite end of the vehicle, in this case towards the front, is respected.
  • such an angle can have a value of the order of 45 °, a value generally imposed by regulations.
  • a dual function light namely an axial position light and a side marker
  • a region of the reflector (part 14b) which is not particularly critical for the quality of the position light beam, for create a relatively concentrated auxiliary beam to a small free space left between the free edge 14c of said reflector and the closing glass.
  • Another advantage lies in the fact that the surface irregularities which are normally provided for the diffusion of the axial beam of the position light are directly used, without additional arrangement, to obtain a deflection of this auxiliary beam, for example so as to satisfy the photometry standards imposed for side markers.
  • the outer cheek of the reflecting part 14a and the retro-reflecting element 19 are in no way troublesome for the creation of the beam of the lateral marker function.
  • the parabola 14a can retain a relatively closed shape, to the benefit of the intensity of the axial beam of the position light, and it is not necessary to modify or move the retro-reflecting element 19.
  • these two organs of the fire are bypassed by the side beam.
  • the light function of lateral marker was ensured by forming in the parabola 14 and in the catadioptric element 19 windows for direct illumination by the filament 12 on the vehicle side, with the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • FIG. 2 is shown an alternative embodiment of the invention.
  • the elements identical to those of Figure 1 are designated by the same reference numbers.
  • the major difference between this embodiment and that of FIG. 1 resides in the shape of the lateral part of the reflector 14.
  • this part indicated in 14b ⁇ , as little lateral dimensions as possible, it is now constituted by a set of parts of homofocal dishes, stepped and concentric, having approximately for focus the filament 12 of the lamp. The result obtained remains essentially unchanged.
  • any additional arrangement can be provided, both at the level of the reflector 14 and of the diffracting elements of the closing glass, in order to obtain an appropriate lighting continuity between the position light beam and the side marker beam.
  • the invention applies generally to any type of vehicle signaling light, at the rear or at the front thereof, in which a corner region of the closing window is capable of diffusing towards the associated side of the vehicle an auxiliary light beam, obtained from the filament of the lamp concerned, the orientation of which is approximately transverse to the general axis of said lamp.
  • the invention can be implemented in position lights as in flashing lights.
