Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une glace pour un dispositif d'éclairage ou de signalisation de véhicule.The present invention relates to a window for a vehicle lighting or signaling device.
Elle concerne également un dispositif ainsi équipé.It also relates to a device thus equipped.
Il est courant d'équiper les dispositifs de signalisation arrière de véhicules d'une glace comportant des zones de couleurs différentes. Ainsi, une même glace peut recouvrir les boîtiers des feux stop, de recul et de changement de direction et comporte à cet effet des sous-ensembles de couleurs respectives rouge, incolore et ambrée.It is common to equip the rear signaling devices of vehicles with a window having zones of different colors. Thus, the same lens can cover the brake, reversing and change of direction boxes and for this purpose includes subsets of respective red, colorless and amber colors.
Une technique de fabrication de ce type de glace consiste à utiliser une machine de moulage par injection permettant de mouler simultanément des pièces de couleurs différentes.One technique for making this type of ice cream is to use an injection molding machine that allows parts of different colors to be molded simultaneously.
Une autre technique consiste à mouler dans un premier temps un sous-ensemble de la glace, puis à disposer celui-ci dans le moule du second sous-ensemble.Another technique consists in first molding a sub-assembly of the ice, then placing it in the mold of the second sub-assembly.
Pour ce faire, il est nécessaire de prévoir sur les chants ou bords des différentes parties de la glace des moyens d'accrochage mutuel.To do this, it is necessary to provide on the edges or edges of the different parts of the glass mutual fastening means.
Ces moyens d'accrochage mutuel comprennent généralement une partie mâle sur le bord de l'un des sous-ensembles et une partie femelle sur le bord adjacent de l'autre sous-ensemble.These mutual attachment means generally comprise a male part on the edge of one of the sub-assemblies and a female part on the adjacent edge of the other sub-assembly.
Une telle glace connue présente toutefois un certain nombre d'inconvénients.Such known ice, however, has a number of drawbacks.
Tout d'abord, la conception des moules pour réaliser la glace, du fait de la présence des parties mâles et femelles d'accrochage dans des régions d'angles des sous-ensembles, est extrêmement longue et fastidieuse. Notamment, lors du recours aux techniques de numérisation pour élaborer les moules, les temps de calcul sont excessivement longs et l'usinage des moules est complexe.First of all, the design of the molds for making the ice, due to the presence of the male and female attachment parts in the angle regions of the sub-assemblies, is extremely long and tedious. In particular, when using digitization techniques to develop the molds, the calculation times are excessively long and the machining of the molds is complex.
De plus, on a observé que la présence de ces parties mâles et femelles dans ces régions d'angles provoque des défauts d'aspect de la glace, notamment lorsque le sous-ensemble comportant la partie d'accrochage femelle est plus clair que le sous-ensemble adjacent, ou d'une teinte différente.In addition, it has been observed that the presence of these male and female parts in these corner regions causes defects in the appearance of the ice, in particular when the subassembly comprising the female attachment part is lighter than the sub -adjacent set, or of a different shade.
On a observé enfin que des problèmes d'étanchéité de la glace étaient rencontrés dans ces régions d'angle, du fait de plans de contact défectueux.Finally, it was observed that problems of sealing the glass were encountered in these corner regions, due to defective contact planes.
La présente invention vise à pallier ces inconvénients de l'état de la technique.The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks of the state of the art.
Elle propose à cet effet une glace pour un dispositif d'éclairage ou de signalisation de véhicule, qui consiste en au moins deux sous-ensembles surmoulés l'un sur l'autre et comportant, sur leurs bords adjacents, des moyens d'accrochage mutuel qui s'étendent sensiblement selon le plan de la glace, ces moyens d'accrochage comprenant une partie mâle sur l'un des sous-ensembles et une partie femelle complémentaire sur l'autre sous-ensemble, caractérisée en ce que les moyens d'accrochage sont prévus dans des zones généralement rectilignes desdits bords adjacents et en ce que des zones de forte courbure desdits bords sont dépourvus de tels moyens d'accrochage.To this end, it offers a window for a vehicle lighting or signaling device, which consists of at least two molded sub-assemblies, one on the other and comprising, on their adjacent edges, mutual attachment means which extend substantially along the plane of the glass, these attachment means comprising a male part on one of the subassemblies and a part complementary female on the other sub-assembly, characterized in that the attachment means are provided in generally rectilinear zones of said adjacent edges and in that zones of strong curvature of said edges are devoid of such attachment means.
Des aspects préférés, mais non limitatifs, de la glace telle que définie ci-dessus sont les suivants :
- des zones d'angles desdits bords sont dépourvus de moyens d'accrochage ;
- la partie mâle des moyens d'accrochage présente, en coupe transversale, une face essentiellement droite et parallèle au plan de la glace et une face curviligne qui s'étend à partir dudit bord selon une direction sensiblement parallèle au plan de la glace pour rejoindre ladite face essentiellement droite selon une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire ;
- ladite face curviligne présente un profil en forme générale d'arc de cercle.
- corner zones of said edges are devoid of attachment means;
- the male part of the hooking means has, in cross section, a face that is essentially straight and parallel to the plane of the glass and a curvilinear face which extends from said edge in a direction substantially parallel to the plane of ice to reach said essentially straight face in a substantially perpendicular direction;
- said curvilinear face has a profile in the general shape of an arc of a circle.
L'invention propose également un dispositif d'éclairage ou de signalisation pour véhicule, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend une glace telle que définie ci-dessus.The invention also provides a lighting or signaling device for a vehicle, characterized in that it comprises a window as defined above.

On a représenté à la figure 1 une glace 1 qui comprend deux parties ou sous-ensembles 2 et 3 surmoulées l'une sur l'autre.FIG. 1 shows a
La figure 2 est une vue en coupe verticale d'une région où ces deux sous-ensembles sont pourvus de moyens d'accrochage. Les références 20 et 30 désignent respectivement leurs faces externes (destinées à être tournées vers l'extérieur) tandis que les références 22 et 32 désignent leurs faces internes.Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view of a region where these two sub-assemblies are provided with attachment means. The
Sur leurs bords 21, respectivement 31, les deux parties de glace comportent, au niveau d'un épaulement périphérique 23, respectivement 33, un tenon 24 et une mortaise complémentaire 34, le tenon ayant une forme en queue d'aronde.On their
A la figure 3 sont représentées partiellement en coupe, les deux parties de moules 4 et 4' nécessaires à la fabrication de la périphérie du sous-ensemble 2.In FIG. 3 are shown partially in section, the two parts of
La référence P désigne le plan de joint, c'est-à-dire de jonction entre les deux parties 4 et 4' du moule.The reference P designates the joint plane, that is to say the junction between the two
En référence maintenant à la figure 4, les deux sous-ensembles 5 et 6 formant la glace de l'invention comportent des moyens d'accrochage mutuels 54 et 64. On a désigné par les références 50 et 60 leurs faces externes respectives, c'est-à-dire celles destinées à être tournées vers l'extérieur lorsque la glace est en place sur un dispositif d'éclairage ou de signalisation. Les références 52 et 62 correspondent à leurs faces internes.Referring now to FIG. 4, the two
Leur partie périphérique est formée d'un épaulement 53, respectivement 63, constituant une surépaisseur de matière dirigée du côté interne de la glace.Their peripheral part is formed by a
Les moyens d'accrochage mentionnés plus haut s'étendent sur les bords respectifs 51 et 61 des sous-ensembles, sensiblement dans le plan de la glace.The attachment means mentioned above extend over the
La partie mâle 54 comporte, vue selon la coupe de la figure 4, une face 540 sensiblement plane et parallèle au plan de la glace.The
Elle comporte également une face courbe 541 qui part du bord 51 selon une direction sensiblement parallèle au plan de la glace pour rejoindre la face 540 sensiblement perpendiculairement à celle-ci.It also has a
Dans le mode de réalisation présenté, la face 541 a une forme complémentaire de celle de la partie 64.In the embodiment presented, the
Dans un autre mode de réalisation, la face 540 pourrait être disposée du côté de la face externe des sous-ensembles de glace 5 et 6 de sorte que la partie mâle 54 serait renversée par rapport à la réalisation de la figure 4.In another embodiment, the
La figure 5 représente, partiellement et en coupe, un moule nécessaire à la réalisation du sous-ensemble 5, dont les deux parties ont été désignées 7 et 7'.FIG. 5 represents, partially and in section, a mold necessary for the production of the
On notera que le plan de jonction P des deux parties 7 et 7' coïncide avec celui de la face 540 de l'organe mâle. De ce fait, la partie 7 prend simplement appui sur la partie 7' et l'on ne rencontre pas de problème lié à la zone P1 d'accostage du plan de joint, puisqu'il n'est pas nécessaire de faire coïncider de manière très précise les deux parties de moule.It will be noted that the junction plane P of the two
La simplification de la géométrie des moyens d'accrochage dans cette deuxième réalisation permet de réduire les temps de conception, notamment le temps nécessaire à la numérisation de la pièce et permet de simplifier le moule. Cette simplification est encore plus importante si la glace est fortement cambrée et est moulée dans un moule qui utilise une ou plusieurs pièces mobiles, telle que, par exemple, une came.The simplification of the geometry of the attachment means in this second embodiment makes it possible to reduce the design times, in particular the time necessary for the digitization of the part and makes it possible to simplify the mold. This simplification is even more important if the glass is strongly arched and is molded in a mold which uses one or more moving parts, such as, for example, a cam.
Aux figures 6 et 7 est représentée une glace conforme à l'invention, comportant trois sous-ensembles 5, 6, 7. Le sous-ensemble 7 est par exemple moulé en premier. Le sous-ensemble 6 constitue le premier surmoulage, tandis que le sous-ensemble 5 constitue le second.In Figures 6 and 7 is shown a glass according to the invention, comprising three
Les couleurs de ces sous-ensembles 5, 6 et 7 sont, par exemple, respectivement cristal, ambrée et rouge, correspondant aux feux de recul, clignotant et feux stop.The colors of these
En référence à la figure 8, et selon un aspect essentiel de l'invention, quelle que soit la forme adoptée pour les parties mâles et femelles des sous-ensembles, ces derniers sont dépourvus de moyens d'accrochage dans certains angles, et de préférence dans la région de tous les angles vifs.With reference to FIG. 8, and according to an essential aspect of the invention, whatever the shape adopted for the male and female parts of the subassemblies, the latter are devoid of attachment means in certain angles, and preferably in the region of all sharp angles.
L'étanchéité de la glace est assurée dans ces régions d'angle par les faces de contact à profil droit des bords des sous-ensembles, et cette étanchéité s'avère satisfaisante.The glass is sealed in these corner regions by the straight profile contact faces of the edges of the subassemblies, and this sealing is satisfactory.
En outre, l'absence de moyens d'accrochage dans ces régions d'angle permet d'éviter des anomalies optiques, au profit de l'homogénéité de l'aspect général de la glace.In addition, the absence of attachment means in these corner regions makes it possible to avoid optical anomalies, in favor of the homogeneity of the general appearance of the ice.
Enfin et surtout, la conception et l'usinage des moules sont grandement facilités, du fait que ces régions d'angle n'ont pas été traitées.Last but not least, the design and machining of the molds is greatly facilitated, since these corner regions have not been treated.
