Description

La présente invention concerne d'une façon générale le montage des lampes dans des miroirs de dispositifs d'éclairage ou de signalisation de véhicules automobiles, et plus particulièrement un nouveau porte-lampe pour lampe de ville intégrée à un projecteur.The present invention relates generally to the mounting lamps in device mirrors lighting or signaling of motor vehicles, and more particularly a new lamp holder for lamp built into a projector.

Classiquement, et en référence à la figure 1, un miroir 1 d'un projecteur de véhicule automobile comporte, dans une région défocalisée, un orifice 1a dans lequel est engagée une pièce intermédiaire souple 2 à la périphérie de laquelle est formée une gorge 2a pour le calage du bord de l'orifice 1a. Cette pièce 2 est traversée par un passage dans laquelle est engagé un porte-lampe 3.Conventionally, and with reference to FIG. 1, a mirror 1 of a motor vehicle headlight comprises, in a defocused region, an orifice 1a in which is engaged a flexible intermediate piece 2 at the periphery of which is formed a groove 2a for wedging the edge of orifice 1a. This part 2 is crossed by a passage in which a lamp holder is engaged 3.

Une telle solution connue présente toutefois un certain nombre d'inconvénients. Tout d'abord, la pose de la pièce intermédiaire est fastidieuse et allonge les temps d'assemblage des projecteurs. En outre, cette pose est nécessairement manuelle, toute automatisation étant exclue. Enfin la pièce intermédiaire induit un surcoût et un accroissement du nombre de pièces à gérer dans la fabrication des projecteurs.However, such a known solution has a a number of drawbacks. First, the laying of the intermediate piece is tedious and lengthens time projector assembly. In addition, this pose is necessarily manual, all automation being excluded. Finally the intermediate piece induces an additional cost and a increase in the number of rooms to be managed in the manufacturing of projectors.

On connaít par FR-A-2 191 068 un porte-lampe pour feu de signalisation. Ce porte-lampe est monté dans le fond d'un miroir, c'est-à-dire sans inclinaison, et rien de suggère son application à un porte-lampe de ville monté dans une paroi inclinée. En outre, ce porte-lampe ne comporte aucun moyen spécifique pour permettre son démontage aisé en vue notamment du remplacement de la lampe.We know by FR-A-2 191 068 a lamp holder for fire signaling. This lamp holder is mounted in the bottom of a mirror, that is to say without tilting, and nothing suggests its application to a mounted city lamp holder in an inclined wall. In addition, this lamp holder does not has no specific means to allow its easy disassembly with a view in particular to replacing the lamp.

La présente invention vise à pallier ces limitations de l'art antérieur et à proposer un dispositif de montage d'une lampe de ville dans une paroi inclinée d'un corps réfléchissant de dispositif d'éclairage ou de signalisation qui soit simple à poser, avec une possibilité d'automatisation, plus économique par réduction du nombre de pièces, et facile à démonter. The present invention aims to overcome these limitations of the prior art and to propose a mounting device of a city lamp in an inclined wall of a body reflective lighting or signaling device which is simple to install, with a possibility automation, more economical by reducing the number of parts, and easy to disassemble.

Ainsi la présente invention concerne un dispositif de montage d'un porte-lampe tel que défini dans la revendication 1.Thus, the present invention relates to a device for fitting a lamp holder as defined in the claim 1.

Des aspects préférés, mais non limitatifs, du dispositif selon l'invention sont définis dans les revendications dépendantes 2 à 8. Preferred, but not limiting, aspects of device according to the invention are defined in the dependent claims 2 to 8.

L'invention propose également un porte-lampe notamment pour lampe de ville, tel que défini dans la revendication 9.The invention also provides a lamp holder in particular for a city lamp, as defined in claim 9.

D'autres aspects, buts et avantages de la présente invention apparaítront mieux à la lecture de la description détaillée suivante d'une forme de réalisation préférée de celle-ci, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif et faite en référence au dessin annexé, sur lequel :

  • la figure 1, déjà décrite, est une vue en coupe horizontale d'un dispositif de montage de lampe de ville de l'art antérieur,
  • la figure 2 est une vue en coupe horizontale d'un dispositif de montage selon l'invention,
  • la figure 3 est une vue en coupe verticale du dispositif de montage de la figure 2, et
  • la figure 4 est une vue en élévation de l'arrière du dispositif de montage des figures 2 et 3.
    • Other aspects, aims and advantages of the present invention will appear better on reading the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof, given by way of nonlimiting example and made with reference to the appended drawing, on which :
  • FIG. 1, already described, is a view in horizontal section of a prior art city lamp mounting device,
  • FIG. 2 is a view in horizontal section of a mounting device according to the invention,
  • FIG. 3 is a view in vertical section of the mounting device in FIG. 2, and
  • FIG. 4 is an elevation view of the rear of the mounting device in FIGS. 2 and 3.

    • En référence aux figures 2 à 4, on a représenté un dispositif de montage d'une lampe de ville qui est en fait constitué par un porte-lampe comportant des aménagements permettant sa fixation directement dans un orifice prévu dans un miroir de projecteur de véhicule automobile.Referring to Figures 2 to 4, there is shown a device for mounting a city lamp which is actually consisting of a lamp holder with fittings allowing it to be fixed directly in a hole provided in a motor vehicle headlamp mirror.

    La paroi du miroir, oblique et incurvée par rapport à l'axe de la lampe, est indiquée en 10. Dans cette paroi est formée un orifice 12 pour le montage du porte-lampe.The wall of the mirror, oblique and curved in relation to the axis of the lamp, is indicated at 10. In this wall is formed an orifice 12 for mounting the lamp holder.

    Ce dernier est désigné par la référence 20, et réalisé en matière plastique souple. Il comporte un corps généralement cylindrique de révolution 22 comportant, de façon classique en soi, des aménagements pour le montage et la connexion électrique du culot (à baïonette ou à vis) d'une lampe non représentée.The latter is designated by the reference 20, and produced made of flexible plastic. It has a body generally cylindrical of revolution 22 comprising, of in a conventional manner in itself, arrangements for mounting and the electrical connection of the base (bayonet or screw) of a lamp not shown.

    A partir du corps 22 s'étendent, en l'espèce latéralement, deux oreilles flexibles opposées 24a et 24b, de contours généralement arrondis et dont l'épaisseur diminue progressivement du corps 22 vers leurs extrémités libres. Ces oreilles présentent par ailleurs à une distance radiale intermédiaire un léger coude faisant que les parties terminales des oreilles présentent une certaine obliquité par rapport aux parois avoisinantes du miroir.From the body 22 extend, in this case laterally, two opposite flexible ears 24a and 24b, of generally rounded contours and whose thickness gradually decreases from body 22 towards their ends free. These ears also present at a distance radial intermediate a slight bend causing the end parts of the ears show some obliquity to the neighboring walls of the mirror.

    La position des oreilles 24a, 24b le long du corps, ainsi que leur inclinaison au repos, sont déterminées en fonction de l'inclinaison moyenne du miroir autour de son orifice 12.The position of the ears 24a, 24b along the body, as well as their inclination at rest, are determined in function of the average tilt of the mirror around its orifice 12.

    A partir du corps 22 du porte-lampe s'étendent également, de façon angulairement décalée par rapport aux oreilles, et en l'espèce au-dessus et au-dessous du corps, deux pattes flexibles 25a, 25b. Ces pattes sont reliées à l'extrémité avant du corps 22 par des parties de raccordement essentiellement radiales 251a, 251b, et s'étendent le long du corps vers l'arrière par des parties principales 252a, 252b qui divergent légèrement en direction de l'arrière.From the body 22 of the lamp holder extend also, angularly offset from the ears, and in this case above and below the body, two flexible legs 25a, 25b. These legs are connected to the front end of the body 22 by parts of essentially radial connection 251a, 251b, and extend backwards along parts of the body main 252a, 252b which diverge slightly in rear direction.

    La figure 4 montre que le profil des pattes 25a, 25b est circulaire et généralement concentrique avec le corps 22 du porte-lampe. Cette courbure des pattes est conçue pour correspondre approximativement à celle des bords de l'orifice 12 du miroir 10.Figure 4 shows that the profile of the legs 25a, 25b is circular and generally concentric with the body 22 of the lamp holder. This curvature of the legs is designed to roughly match that of the edges of the orifice 12 of the mirror 10.

    Chacune des pattes 25a, 25b porte sur sa surface extérieure une dent de verrouillage, respectivement 253a, 253b, qui est apte à coopérer avec le bord adjacent de l'orifice du miroir. Chaque dent présente une section de forme générale triangulaire, de manière à définir, du côté antérieure, une rampe inclinée.Each of the legs 25a, 25b carries on its surface outside a locking tooth, respectively 253a, 253b, which is able to cooperate with the adjacent edge of the mirror hole. Each tooth has a section of general triangular shape, so as to define, on the side anterior, an inclined ramp.

    La position et l'inclinaison des dents 253a, 253b le long des pattes 25a, 25b est déterminée en fonction de l'épaisseur et de l'inclinaison moyenne du miroir 10 au voisinage de l'orifice 12.The position and inclination of the teeth 253a, 253b the along the legs 25a, 25b is determined according to the thickness and the average tilt of the mirror 10 at orifice 12.

    Le porte-lampe 20 tel que décrit ci-dessus est mis en place dans l'orifice 12 par simple mouvement de translation selon son axe. Préalablement à ce mouvement, les pattes 25a, 25b peuvent être éventuellement resserrées vers le corps 22 du porte-lampe de manière à faciliter la pénétration du porte-lampe dans l'orifice. Les bords de l'orifice 12 sollicitent les pattes 25a, 25b élastiquement vers l'intérieur, jusqu'à ce que les dents franchissent, à l'aide de leurs rampes, lesdits bords. Simultanément, les oreilles 24a, 24b viennent s'appliquer contre la face arrière du miroir 10, et fléchissement progressivement à mesure que la translation du porte-lampe se poursuit.The lamp holder 20 as described above is placed place in hole 12 by simple translational movement along its axis. Before this movement, the legs 25a, 25b can possibly be tightened towards the body 22 of the lamp holder so as to facilitate the penetration of the lamp holder into the hole. The edges of the orifice 12 urges the legs 25a, 25b elastically inward, until the teeth cross, at using their ramps, said edges. Simultaneously, the ears 24a, 24b are applied against the face rear of mirror 10, and gradually sagging at as the translation of the lamp holder continues.

    Après que le verrouillage par les dents 253a, 253b a été effectué, la force de rappel élastique exercée par les oreilles sur l'arrière du miroir permet d'assurer un maintien tout à fait stable du porte-lampe dans sa position verrouillée, cette stabilité étant renforcée par le décalage angulaire, en l'espèce de 90°, qui existe entre la paire d'oreilles 24a, 24b et la paire de dents 253a, 253b.After the locking by the teeth 253a, 253b has the elastic restoring force exerted by the ears on the back of the mirror ensures a completely stable maintenance of the lamp holder in its position locked, this stability being reinforced by the angular offset, in this case 90 °, which exists between the pair of ears 24a, 24b and pair of teeth 253a, 253b.

    On comprend ici que le montage du porte-lampe dans le miroir peut aisément être automatisé, dans la mesure où il suffit d'une translation du porte-lampe, convenablement saisi, avec le cas échéant un resserrement temporaire des deux bras 25a, 25b.It is understood here that the mounting of the lamp holder in the mirror can easily be automated, as long as it just a translation of the lamp holder, suitably entered, with a temporary tightening of the two arms 25a, 25b.

    Le démontage du porte-lampe, notamment lorsque l'on souhaite remplacer une lampe défectueuse, s'effectue en resserrant manuellement les deux pattes 25a, 25b de manière à supprimer l'accrochage entre leurs dents 253a, 253b et la paroi du miroir, puis en tirant le porte-lampe vers l'arrière.Disassembly of the lamp holder, especially when wishes to replace a defective lamp, is done in manually tightening the two tabs 25a, 25b so to remove the attachment between their teeth 253a, 253b and the wall of the mirror and then pulling the bulb holder toward the back.

    Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est nullement limitée aux formes de réalisation décrites et représentées, mais l'homme de l'art saura y apporter toute variante ou modification conforme à son esprit.Of course, the present invention is by no means limited to the embodiments described and shown, but the person skilled in the art will be able to bring there any variant or modification according to his spirit.

    En particulier, les deux oreilles opposées 24a, 24b peuvent être remplacées par une lèvre flexible faisant tout le tour du corps 22 du porte lampe, ou par une pluralité de pattes flexibles régulièrement espacées.In particular, the two opposite ears 24a, 24b can be replaced with a flexible lip that does everything around the body 22 of the lamp holder, or by a plurality of regularly spaced flexible legs.

    En outre, les dents des pattes de verrouillage peuvent être remplacées par des gorges dans lesquelles les régions de bords homologues de l'orifice 12 peuvent venir s'engager lorsque lesdites pattes s'écartent élastiquement vers l'extérieur.In addition, the teeth of the locking tabs can be replaced by gorges in which the regions homologous edges of the orifice 12 can come to engage when said legs move elastically towards outside.
