Definitions

  • the invention relates to lighting and / or signaling devices for a motor vehicle.
  • a traffic light for a motor vehicle, comprising a support, a lamp holder fixed to the support, a lamp attached to the lamp holder, and a reflector fixed to the support.
  • the configuration of the parts requires that the fire is assembled by mounting the reflector on the support, then the lamp holder on the support.
  • the parts arrive on the chain in an order not corresponding to the aforementioned assembly order.
  • the assembly is slowed down, which increases the costs.
  • the manufacture of the reflector is provided by the manufacturer, and that of the support and the lamp holder is provided by a subcontractor, it can not mount the lamp holder on the support before delivery to the manufacturer. It is therefore preferable to have a lighting device and / or signaling to assemble the parts in an order different from the aforementioned order.
  • FR-A-2 304 025 discloses a lighting device for a motor vehicle, comprising a support, a lamp holder fixed in a housing of the support, a lamp attached to the lamp holder and a reflector fixed to the support snap.
  • the reflector carries snap hooks adapted to penetrate into the openings of the support in the vicinity of the base of the lamp to fix the reflector to the support.
  • these hooks extend radially at a great distance from the lamp base.
  • the reflective surface of the reflector extends backwards remotely bulb of the lamp and radially away from the lamp holder.
  • the optical efficiency is therefore low.
  • the space between the base and the reflector is visible from outside the fire, which affects the aesthetics of the vehicle.
  • FR-2 280 026 discloses an iron assembly comprising a support receiving a lamp and on which is fixed a body by latching members. A reflector is attached to the body.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a lighting device and / or signaling for mounting the trim element after mounting the lamp on the device, while providing a good optical performance and giving a satisfactory aesthetic to the traffic light.
  • the trim member can be attached to the support with its surface extending very close to the bulb of the lamp so that most of the rays emitted by the lamp to the rear are stopped by the trim member.
  • no gap is more visible between the lamp and the trim element from outside the vehicle.
  • This device also allows the mounting of the lining element on the support after mounting the lamp thereon. In addition, it avoids having to give a significant length to the latching members of the lining element (which would complicate the manufacture and shape of the lining element and would be expensive).
  • the lighting and signaling device for a motor vehicle comprises a searchlight and a traffic light which is a flashing light here.
  • the device comprises a support or housing 2 having a flat wall having an opening 3 which constitutes a receiving housing for a lamp holder.
  • the device comprises a lamp holder 4 fixed to the support in the housing 3, for example by means of quarter-turn locking means.
  • the lamp comprises a lamp 6 in the form of a circular section bulb having an axis 8 defining the axis of the fire.
  • the lamp is fixed by its base to the lamp holder.
  • the device further comprises a lining element in the form of a reflector or optical surface 10 fixed to the support.
  • the reflector comprises a recess or aperture 12 of axis 8 adjacent the lamp holder and the lamp base, and extending opposite thereof.
  • the recess 12 of the reflector has dimensions transverse to the axis 8, of which one L is illustrated in FIG. 1, which are greater than the transverse dimensions of the lamp, that is to say in the upper case at the largest diameter D of the lamp.
  • the support comprises latching members in the form of rigid hooks 14 projecting from the flat wall of the support and each having a lug directed towards the axis 8 and the lamp holder.
  • the reflector comprises latching members in the form of tabs 16 parallel to the axis 8. These lugs 16 are flexible in a direction transverse to the axis in direction of it and the lamp holder, namely towards the inside of the reflector. They each have an orifice adapted to receive one of the lugs.
  • the hooks 14 and the lugs 16 cooperate mutually and respectively for snap-fastening of the reflector to the support, the mounting being carried out by bringing the reflector 10 of the support 2 in a movement along the axis 8.
  • Each lug has a convex curved face or inclined relative to the radial direction to the axis 8.
  • This face constitutes a ramp for the tab 16 associated during the mounting of the reflector 10 on the support 2, the ramp forcing the tab 16 to bend towards the lamp holder to passage of the pin, as shown in Figure 2.
  • This ramp effect causes the centering of the reflector during its mounting on the support. This assembly is thus facilitated.
  • the mounting of the reflector is made more difficult by the fact that the operator himself must properly position the reflector according to the holes of the support for receiving the lugs.
  • the lamp holder 4 has an area 18 extending opposite the hooks 14 of the support and the lugs 16 of the reflector. According to the radial direction of bending of the tabs, namely in a direction perpendicular to the axis 8, this zone has a dimension M sufficiently small to allow the bending of each tab 16 of the reflector to the passage of the hook 14 of the support.
  • the reflector 10 extends in a radial direction between the hooks 14 of the support and the lamp holder 4. It extends opposite the lamp holder 4 and the wall of the support 2 at a distance from it. this.
  • the assembly of the device comprises the following steps.
  • the lamp 6 is mounted on the lamp holder 4, then the lamp holder 4 on the support 2.
  • the reflector 10 is mounted on the support 2. the lamp 6 in the recess 12, which is made possible by the aforementioned dimensional condition.
  • the reflector 10 is snapped onto the hooks 14 of the support thanks to the flexibility of the tabs 16.
  • the tabs 16 of the reflector 10 are rigid and the hooks 14 of the support 2 are flexible in a direction radial to the axis 8 in the opposite direction to the lamp holder 4, namely to the outside of the reflector 10.
  • the face of the lugs forming a ramp thus causes the bending of the hooks 14 to the passage of the lugs 16 during mounting of the reflector 10 on the support 2.
  • the transverse dimension M of the zone 18 of the The lamp holder 4 extending opposite the tabs 16 may be larger than in FIG. 1. This dimension may be just smaller than the transverse dimensions of the recess.
  • the legs may be carried by the support 2 and the hooks by the reflector 10.
  • the device may comprise several signaling lamps 6 fixed to the lamp holder 2.
  • the recess may then have an elongated shape.
  • the device may comprise a trim element different from a reflector. This packing element will for example be a refractive optical plate.
