Definitions

  • the invention relates to lighting device for vehicles with a housing, with a stationary reflector, which is inserted from the front into the housing and bears against a stop facing the front of the housing, with a reflector supporting the stop of the housing holding device, with a lamp, the is inserted from the rear side of the housing into a receiving opening formed by housing and reflector and the reflector attached to the housing, and with a cover plate which is placed with a pointing in the direction of insertion of the reflector edge region on a front mounting edge of the housing and secured thereto ,
  • Such a lighting device for vehicles is known from DE-U-297 24 219.
  • the lighting device has an existing plastic cup-shaped housing, the front opening is closed by a translucent lens.
  • a reflector of a headlamp and the side of the headlamp, a reflector of a stationary light are arranged in the housing.
  • a lamp which is an incandescent lamp, is inserted into one from the outside of the housing into a receiving opening by means of a rotary shutter.
  • the receiving opening is formed by the housing and the reflector.
  • the receiving opening of the housing and reflector, the plug connection and the lamp form a fastening device for the reflector.
  • a lens is attached to the front of a cover frame adjacent.
  • the cover serves as a holding device. Because of the adjacent to the lens cover, the lens of the light can be damaged in an improper insertion of the cover or a vibrating cover. Furthermore, due to the cover, the light exit surface of the lamp decreases.
  • the object of the invention is to make the described in the preamble of claim 1 headlights for vehicles such that the reflector is also held stationary when changing the lamp when the light exit surface of the stationary reflector can be designed as large as possible and no lighting surfaces of the Reflectors belong to the holding device of the reflector.
  • the invention in conjunction with the preamble of claim 1, characterized in that the holding device with at least one contact surface of the cover plate holds the reflector between it and the stop of the housing, wherein the contact surface faces the attachment edge of the housing.
  • the particular advantage of the invention is that the contact surface of the cover plate delimits one side of a space which is formed by the outer edge region of the lens and the attachment edge of the housing and the contact surface of the cover plate at least on an outwardly projecting and projecting into the space approach of the reflector is applied.
  • the optically effective reflection surface of the reflector can reach very close to the inner side of the edge region of the lens in the insertion direction of the reflector.
  • the holding device of the reflector is not disturbing to see in an optic-free lens and the lens must have no inwardly projecting retaining lugs.
  • the reflector is held vibration-free at its outer edge even with larger dimensions, when the holding device has at least one pointing in the direction of insertion of the reflector projection which abuts with its free end portion on a surface of the stop of the housing, wherein the projection inserted into a socket of the housing is and the reason of the receiving opening is the stop of the housing.
  • the rigid and resilient approach of the holding device are integrally formed on the projection.
  • the lighting device has a pot-shaped housing 1 made of plastic, in which in the insertion direction 8, a headlight (not shown) and a lamp 17 is used.
  • the lamp 17 is a flashing light and has a cup-shaped reflector 2, which forms a receiving opening 6 for a lamp 5 together with the housing 1.
  • the lamp 5, whose longitudinal axis is parallel to the insertion direction 8, is inserted from the outer rear side of the housing 1 by means of a rotary closure 19.
  • the lamp 5 pushes the reflector 2 with a his Receiving opening 6 surrounding neck 18 against serving as a stop 3 annular surface of the housing 1 and aligns the reflector 2 exactly to a filament of the lamp 5.
  • a holding device of the reflector 2 has on opposite side edges of the reflector 2 integrally formed tongue-like projections 15 which point in the insertion direction 8 and each engage in a plug-in receptacle 16 of the housing 1.
  • the two tongue-like projections 15 bear with their end faces on surfaces of the stopper 3 of the housing 1, which are formed by the bottom of the plug-in receptacles 16.
  • To the broad side surfaces of the tongue-like projections 15 outwardly projecting lugs 13 and 14 are formed.
  • a rigid projection 13 and two resilient lugs 14 is attached. Between the two resilient lugs 14 of the rigid projection 13 is arranged.
  • the front of the housing 1 is covered by a cup-shaped cover plate 7, which is fastened with its peripheral edge region 9, which faces in the insertion direction 8, on the front fastening edge 10 of the housing 1.
  • the edge region 9 of the lens 7 dives with a free edge portion 20 in a introduced into a bed of the fastening edge sealant 21 a.
  • the sealant 21 may be an adhesive.
  • the cover plate 7 is held securely by a c-shaped spring which surrounds the edge region 9 of the cover plate 7 and the fastening edge 10 of the housing 1 to the housing 1 until the adhesive has cured. At least in the region of the holding devices 4, the edge portion 20 of the firing disk 7 swings outwards and forms a step on the inside of the cover disk.
  • the space 12 may be formed by a circumferential groove.
  • At least the resilient lugs 14 are present a contact surface 11 of the lens 7 at.
  • the contact surface 11 defines the space 12 opposite to the insertion direction 8 seen.
  • the reflector 2 is first inserted into the housing 1 until it rests against the stops 3 of the housing 1. Thereafter, the lamp 5 is inserted from the back of the housing 1 forth in the receptacle formed by housing 1 and reflector 6 by means of a rotary closure 19 and supports the reflector 2 on the housing 1. It is ensured that when screwing the lamp 5 into the receiving opening 6, the reflector 2 aligns exactly to the lamp 5. Subsequently, the cover plate 7 is placed on the housing 1 and secured thereto. Thereafter, the cover plate 7 presses with its two contact surfaces 11, the projections 15 of the reflector 2 against surfaces of the stopper 3 of the housing 1. As a result, the reflector 2 is largely free of play even with a change of the lamp 5 and kept vibration-free while driving. After inserting a new lamp 5, the reflector 2 is centered automatically to the lamp fifth
  • the existing between the reflector 2 and the mounting edge 10 gap may be covered by a cover.
