Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for assembling a searchlight mask, or fire mask, of a motor vehicle on a housing of said projector.
  • the two main pieces that have just been mentioned are completed by a mask that is placed between the outlet glass and the housing.
  • the essential function of such a mask is as follows: when the projector device is extinguished and observed from outside the vehicle, in particular with a plunging view, a space located between the edges of the mirror and the ice is visible; this gap creates an appearance discontinuity due to the fact that the edges of the mirror have a shiny appearance, while the neighboring parts of the projector are of darker shade and / or receive less light from the outside.
  • the function of the mask is then to form a transition between the edges of the mirror and the output ice.
  • the mask is treated, for example by an operation of metallization of its visible surface, to present a similar appearance to that of the edges of the mirror. It thus contributes largely to the definition of the style of fire considered.
  • An assembly system is known from the document US2005 / 0024888 .
  • fastening clip designates a clip-type fastening element which, placed on a first element, cooperates with a retaining element placed on a second element in order to keep the first and the second elements assembled by abutment a part of the fastening clip against a part of the retaining element, the fastening clip having been brought into the assembly position by elastic deformation.
  • the figure 1 schematically represents, in perspective and in rear view, a one-piece piece 100 of a headlight or motor vehicle light device, said part consisting in the joining of a mask-type element 101 and different reflector elements 102.
  • the piece 100 has, considering the rear view, a straight side with a straight edge 103, and a left side with a flange 104 curved to meet the style and mounting requirements of the motor vehicle manufacturer.
  • a plurality, four in this example, of fastening clips 105 are regularly spaced along the entire length of the flange 104.
  • a plurality, five in this example, of stresses 106 are offset relative to the fixing clips 105: a horizontal axis on the figure 1 can not simultaneously meet a fastening clip and a stressing tab. The mechanical forces are thus homogeneously distributed over all the edges of the part 100 once the mask assembled to the housing.
  • the fastening clips 105 and the stresses 106 are derived from the molding of the mask: they do not constitute here removable elements that would be added to the piece 100 after its manufacture.
  • the extension 205 is slid under the flange 104, the clip foot 201 being in direct contact with said flange.
  • the figure 4 schematically shows, in perspective and in front view, a housing 400 projector device to be assembled with the single piece 100.
  • the housing 400 has, considering the front view shown, a left side with a straight flange 401, and a right side with a curved flange 402.
  • each of them is intended to receive and to block one of the fixing clips 105; they are therefore arranged vis-à-vis the fixing clips defined in the mask.
  • each retaining element 403 is, in this example, constituted by a first wall 500 and a second wall 501, arranged parallel in a recess 502 of the housing, and having a gap between them substantially equal to a width l of the guiding element 208: the gap between the two walls is ideally slightly smaller, one or two millimeters, at the width 1.
  • the walls 500 and 501 each have an insertion face 503, at which is brought one of the clips of fixation at the beginning of a detailed assembly operation later, with a rounded top edge 504 in the shape of a quarter round. This rounded shape facilitates the introduction of the fastening clip 105.
  • the definition of the structure of the two-part retaining elements 403 makes it possible to limit the areas of friction with the fastening clip 105, and to limit the insertion force of said clip.
  • the retaining elements 403 are derived from the molding of the casing 401: they are here integral with the casing 401 from which they can not be removed.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate according to two different views the establishment of one of the fixing clips 105 in a retaining member 403 according to a clipping operation: the top of the chamfer 204 is brought into contact with the rounded edges 504 of the walls of the element of detention ; the clip foot, which has a certain flexibility and therefore of elasticity properties, then deforms slightly by bending to let the chamfer evolve on the guide walls 500 and 501 in a translational movement 600 corresponding to the direction of introduction fixing clip. The movement is further guided by the passage of the guide element 208 between the two walls, which also ensures a centering of the fastening clip.
  • the clip foot returns to its original shape, the locking face 206 of the chamfer being then brought into support, following a folding movement 602, against a face 601 retaining walls, said retaining face being located opposite the insertion faces 503.
  • a traction on the fastening clip in an opposite direction in the sense of introduction 600 does not allow to remove the clip out of the retainer.
  • the tab 106 is made during the molding of the mask. It consists of a generally rectangular shape, of thickness between 1 and 5 millimeters, which protrudes at the surface of the mask, having a free end 800 and a bonded end 801 integral with the surface of the mask.
  • the tab 106 of stressing is intended to be embedded in a housing 900, of suitable shape, and formed in the housing.
  • the housing 900 is defined between a chamfered volume 901, facilitating the introduction of the tab 106, and a centering tab 902, ensuring the centering of the mask 400 on the housing, while leaving a clearance J between said centering tab and the mask surface to facilitate mounting of the mask due to an inverted "V" shape observed between the stressing tab 106 and the surface of the mask 400.
  • a stud 903, visible at the Figure 9-B resulting from the molding of the housing allows the stressing tabs 106 of the mask.
  • FIGS. 10-A and 10-B illustrate a first step of assembling the mask on the housing. This assembly is made by buttresses. In this first step, a slight rotation 910 of the mask is carried out in order to allow the introduction of the tabs 106 for stressing in the housing 900 which is reserved for them. The tabs 106 are then pushed into the housing by a translation movement 911, to their final position shown in FIG. figure 12 .
  • a rotation movement 912 As illustrated in figure 11 , a rotation movement 912, then a translational movement 913, are also operated at the fastening clips 105 for clipping. As shown in figure 13-A , once the constraint legs are positioned in the housing, it is then possible to perform a slight rotational movement 914 of the mask, in a direction opposite to the rotational movement 912, during this rotation, the tabs 106 are stressed in a force 915, in the housing defined in the housing.
  • a mask assembly system on the housing which does not require the use of any fastener or additional material, glue or screw type, or welding operation nor the use of specific tools.
  • the clipping system is discrete, being arranged in such a way that it is not visible from outside the vehicle.
