  • the retaining element which is at least partially in the bonding groove is easily concealed.
  • the invention makes it possible in particular to avoid having to design a specific body to conceal this retaining element.
  • the bonding groove is formed between an inner rim and an outer rim and the outer rim at least partially surrounds the inner rim.
  • the outer rim of the bonding groove extends substantially over an entire periphery of the housing.
  • the inner rim has at least one opening facing the retaining element.
  • This opening makes it possible in particular to mold the case in a relatively simple manner, as will be explained in detail below.
  • the retaining element may be formed on the outer rim, facing the opening of the inner rim.

  • the aforementioned fixing member may optionally include a latching tab.
  • the housing is produced entirely in one piece, in particular by molding, for example by injection molding of a plastic material.
  • This solution offers the advantage of making the production of such a casing relatively simple, for example by producing by molding in a single mold the two edges, interior and exterior, the retaining element, if necessary the fixing member. , and the rest of the case.
  • the intermediate piece may include an orifice capable of cooperating with the fixing member of the housing.
  • the intermediate piece forms a mask of the lighting and / or signaling device.
  • This mask is in particular designed to conceal certain components of the device, for example an actuator or an electric circuit, to improve the aesthetics of the device.
  • the mask can thus include at least one opaque or reflecting region, for example aluminized.

  • the partition of the intermediate piece is flush with the opening of the interior rim.
  • the partition comprises a style bar.
  • the intermediate part may optionally include a flange, which extends in particular over an entire periphery of the intermediate part.
  • This collar comes, for example, at least partially, in contact with the upper edge of the inner rim of the case.
  • the crystal may advantageously include a complementary holding means, arranged to cooperate, in particular by snap-fastening, with the holding element of the housing.
  • This complementary retaining means may, for example, comprise a latching tab, arranged to cooperate with the latching tab of the retaining element.
  • the crystal has a smooth main face, and in particular devoid of optical patterns.
  • the housing holding element is invisible from outside the device.

  • the housing 1 also comprises stiffening ribs 6, arranged to reinforce the housing, in particular to resist mechanical stresses, due for example to impacts on the housing.
  • the housing 1 also comprises guide ribs 7, to cooperate with the intermediate part 10 during the assembly of this part 10 with the housing 1.
  • the two flanges, interior 21 and exterior 22, the fixing member 4, the retaining element 3, the ribs 6 and 7 are made in a single holding with the rest of the case 1.
  • the housing 1 is made by injection molding of a plastic material.
  • the injection of plastic material is made into a mold suitable for forming the housing 1, this mold comprising at least one movable drawer arranged to form the holding element 3 of the housing 1.
  • This drawer is arranged to move through the opening 23 of the inner rim 21 of the housing 1, in the direction of arrow 5, to allow the housing 1 to be released from the mold.
  • the intermediate piece 10 which is arranged to cooperate with the housing 1, so as to close the opening 23 of the inner rim 21 of the adhesive groove 2.
