Abstract

The lamp holder, esp for a motor vehicle side light with a cut and pressed sheet metal reflector, consists of a moulded plastic body (1) with wings (2) for clipping it to the reflector. The wings are semi-elliptical in shape, are moulded in one piece with the plastics body and extend sideways from it in opposite directions. The lamp holder is also preferably equipped with a bent wire spring (3) fitted between its wings and body.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un support de lampe pour l'industrie automobile, en particulier pour la réalisation de feux de ville avec réflecteur en tôle.The present invention relates to a lamp holder for industry automotive, in particular for the production of city lights with sheet metal reflector.

Le but de l'invention est de permettre d'obtenir une fonction feu de ville avec un réflecteur en tôle découpée et emboutie.The object of the invention is to provide a city fire function with a stamped and stamped sheet metal reflector.

Conformément à l'invention, ce résultat est obtenu par un support de lampe pour l'industrie automobile, en particulier pour la réalisation de feux de ville avec un réflecteur en tôle découpée et emboutie comportant un logement pour ledit support, caractérisé en ce que ledit support de lampe comporte des moyens de clippage et de positionnement sur le réflecteur en tôle.According to the invention, this result is obtained by a lamp holder for the automotive industry, in particular for the production of town lights with a reflector made of cut and stamped sheet metal comprising a housing for said support, characterized in that said lamp support includes means for clipping and positioning on the sheet metal reflector.

De manière préférentielle, les moyens de clippage et de positionnement sont des ailettes plastiques moulées avec le corps principal du support de lampe.Preferably, the clipping and positioning means are plastic fins molded with the main body of the lamp holder.

En outre, lesdites ailettes sont au nombre de deux et chaque ailette s'étend latéralement par rapport au corps pnncipal du support de lampe et en sens inverse l'une par rapport à l'autre.In addition, said fins are two in number and each fin extends laterally with respect to the main body of the lamp holder and in the opposite direction one in relation to the other.

Avantageusement, chaque ailette a une forme sensiblement semi-elliptique.Advantageously, each fin has a substantially semi-elliptical shape.

Avantageusement, entre les ailettes et le corps du support est placé un ressort en fil plié qui va assurer le maintien et l'élasticité des ailettes lors du fonctionnement du feu de ville ; en effet en fonctionnement, la lampe dégage de l'énergie calorifique et l'augmentation de la température engendrée par la lampe modifie les caractéristiques élastiques du plastique des ailettes et, dans le temps, l'ailette ne joue plus son rôle de positionnement et clippage.Advantageously, between the fins and the body of the support is placed a folded wire spring which will ensure the retention and elasticity of the fins during city fire operation; indeed in operation, the lamp releases the heat energy and the temperature increase generated by the lamp changes the elastic characteristics of the plastic of the fins and, over time, the fin no longer plays its role of positioning and clipping.

L'invention a également pour objet le procédé de réalisation dudit support de lampe.The subject of the invention is also the method for producing said support for lamp.

On comprendra mieux l'invention à l'aide de la description faite ci-après d'un mode de mise en oeuvre donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif en référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un support de lampe suivant l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective à l'échelle réelle d'un support de lampe suivant l'invention.
The invention will be better understood using the description given below of an embodiment given by way of nonlimiting example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a lamp holder according to the invention,
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view at full scale of a lamp holder according to the invention.

Suivant l'invention, le support de lampe se compose essentiellement d'un corps pnncipal (1) et des ailettes plastiques (2a,2b) qui viennent se positionner dans un logement dans le réflecteur en tôle non représenté.According to the invention, the lamp holder essentially consists of a main body (1) and plastic fins (2a, 2b) which are positioned in a housing in the sheet metal reflector, not shown.

De manière préférentielle, chacune des deux ailettes en plastique (2a,2b) s'étend latéralement par rapport au corps principal (1) et les deux ailettes (2a,2b) s'étendent en sens inverse l'une par rapport à l'autre.Preferably, each of the two plastic fins (2a, 2b) extends laterally with respect to the main body (1) and the two fins (2a, 2b) extend in opposite directions to each other.

De manière avantageuse, ces deux ailettes (2a,2b) ont une forme générale sensiblement semi-elliptique.Advantageously, these two fins (2a, 2b) have a general shape substantially semi-elliptical.

Avantageusement, le support de lampe comporte un ressort en fil plié (3) entre le corps du support (1) et les ailettes en plastique (2a,2b) comme cela est représenté par la flèche sur la figure 1.Advantageously, the lamp holder comprises a folded wire spring (3) between the body of the support (1) and the plastic fins (2a, 2b) as is represented by the arrow in figure 1.

Le procédé de réalisation d'un tel support de lampe consiste en ce que des ailettes plastiques (2) sont moulées avec le corps principal (1) du support de lampe.The method of producing such a lamp holder consists in that plastic fins (2) are molded with the main body (1) of the lamp holder.

En outre, on place un ressort en fil plié (3) entre les ailettes plastiques moulées et le corps pnncipal du support de lampe.In addition, a folded wire spring (3) is placed between the plastic fins. molded and the main body of the lamp holder.

Le principal avantage de l'invention et de simplifier la fabrication des réflecteurs en tôle et ainsi d'obtenir un gain de productivité pour la fabncation de ce type de réflecteur.The main advantage of the invention and to simplify the manufacture of sheet metal reflectors and thus obtain a productivity gain for the fabrication of this type of reflector.
