Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the field of vehicle light projectors. It relates more particularly to such a projector with a decorative accessory.
  • Motor vehicle light projectors conventionally comprise a housing housing at least one lighting device comprising a lamp and a reflector of light rays.
  • the housing is also provided with an exit opening for the light rays which is covered by a transparent cover glass which is mounted on the periphery of this housing.
  • Patent application EP 0865965 discloses such a light projector comprising a decoration accessory comprising a hubcap which is pressed against the front facade of the mirror in order to improve the aesthetic rendering of this projector.
  • the decorative accessory also includes a double-sided adhesive tape interposed between the inner face of the hubcap and the front of the ice to ensure the attachment of the hubcap on the ice.
  • the present invention therefore aims to provide an alternative solution ensuring better holding of the hubcap and also providing an improved visual rendering.
  • a projector for a motor vehicle comprising a housing having a front opening covered by a transparent cover glass, at least one lighting device housed in the interior volume defined by said housing and said mirror, and a decorative accessory comprising a hubcap plated against the front facade of said ice;
  • said decorative accessory comprises at least one rod extending at the rear of said hubcap and passing right through said ice and said housing, at a compartment formed in said interior volume and sealed vis-à-vis the remaining portion of said interior volume housing said lighting device, and in that the free end of said rod is provided with retaining means cooperating with the rear face of said housing to ensure the locking in translation of said decoration accessory.
  • the projector according to the invention provides an improved visual rendering.
  • the stem of the decorative accessory passing through a sealed compartment vis-à-vis the remaining portion of the interior volume housing the lighting device, the water that could possibly infiltrate the The interior of this compartment, through the areas of the ice and the casing through which the stem passes, would be circumscribed.
  • the projector according to the invention therefore improves both the strength of the hubcap against the facade of the ice and the visual rendering without degrading the seal at the sensitive area hosting the lighting device.
  • said compartment is delimited by a portion of the front facade of said ice, by an internal lateral wall that comprises said ice, and by a portion of said casing, the rear edge of said internal lateral wall forming an internal foot of ice inserted into a internal gluing groove of said housing, a gluing and sealing joint being interposed and compressed between said inner foot of ice and the bottom of said internal gluing groove over its entire periphery;
  • said retaining means comprise a threading disposed at the free end of said rod and on which is screwed a nut, pressed against the rear face of said casing;
  • said retaining means comprise a transverse orifice situated at the free end of said rod and traversed by a pin disposed against the rear face of said casing;
  • said retaining means comprise elastically deformable tabs disposed at the free end of said rod and which are snapped through said casing, so that a portion of each of said tabs abuts against the rear face of said casing;
  • said decoration accessory comprises a plurality of said rods distributed along the length of the decorative element and passing through corresponding orifices formed respectively in the front facade of said mirror and in said casing;
  • said hubcap is partially housed in a recess of the front facade of said ice;
  • said hubcap is formed by a profiled rod whose front panel is covered with a decorative chrome
  • said ice also comprises a peripheral lateral wall extending rearwardly from the peripheral edge of its front facade, the rear edge of said peripheral lateral wall forming a peripheral ice base inserted in a peripheral gluing groove of the housing, a sealing joint and sealing being interposed and compressed between the peripheral ice base and the bottom of the peripheral bonding groove over its entire periphery; and or
  • said projector comprises two said lighting devices arranged one above the other.
  • the projector 1 comprises a housing 10 having a front opening covered by a transparent cover glass 20, sealingly mounted on the periphery of the housing 10 as will be seen in more detail below.
  • the projector 1 also comprises two lighting devices 2, 5 housed one above the other in the interior volume defined by the housing 10 and the ice 20.
  • the housing 10 is preferably integrally molded from a thermoplastic polymer such as for example an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).
  • ABS acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
  • peripheral bonding groove 11 extending along its periphery, as well as an internal bonding groove 12 having a rectangular contour.
  • the cover glass 20 is preferably integrally molded from a transparent thermoplastic polymer such as polycarbonate or polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA).
  • a transparent thermoplastic polymer such as polycarbonate or polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA).
  • Its front facade 21 has a flat main wall 22 oriented transversely to the direction of propagation of the light and extending from the peripheral edge of the ice 20 to a perpendicular recess 23 (that is to say oriented parallel to the direction of propagation of light).
  • the front facade 21 of the window 20 comprises a second flat wall 24 with a generally rectangular contour, set back from the wall 21 and oriented parallel to the latter.
  • the ice 20 also has a peripheral side wall 25 extending rearwardly from the peripheral edge of its front facade 21 and in an orientation substantially parallel to the direction of propagation of the light.
  • this peripheral side wall 25 forms a peripheral ice base 26 which is inserted into the peripheral gluing groove 11 of the housing 10.
  • a bonding and sealing gasket 30 is interposed and compressed between the peripheral ice base 26 and the bottom of the peripheral bonding groove 11 over its entire periphery.
  • This seal 30 makes it possible both to effectively secure the glass 20 on the housing 10, and to ensure excellent sealing over the entire periphery of the projector 1.
  • the ice 20 finally comprises an inner side wall 27 extending rearwardly in the extension of the recess 23 and in an orientation substantially parallel to the direction of propagation of the light.
  • This inner side wall 27 forms an inner ice base 28 which is inserted into the internal gluing groove 12 of the housing 10.
  • a second seal and seal 31 is interposed and compressed between the inner foot of ice 28 and the bottom of the internal gluing groove 12 over its entire rectangular periphery.
  • This second seal 31, of the same composition as the seal 30, makes it possible at the same time to reinforce the retention of the mirror 20 on the casing 10, and to ensure the sealed isolation of the compartment 35 vis-à-vis the remaining portion of the interior volume of the projector 1 housing the two lighting devices 2, 5.
  • the lower lighting device 2 intended to provide the far-infrared / road lighting comprises a reflector 3 with a parabolic profile and a light source 4 constituted by a halogen bulb of type H1, H4 or H7 mounted on the back of the reflector 3. by means of a not shown mounting sleeve inserted through an opening in the rear part of this reflector 3.
  • the upper lighting device 5 intended to provide the flashing function comprises a reflector 6 with an elliptical profile and a light source 7 constituted by a filament bulb of the P21W type mounted on the back of the reflector 6 via a not shown mounting sleeve inserted through an opening in the rear part of this reflector 6.
  • the projector 1 also comprises a decorative accessory 40 comprising a hubcap 41 and a rod 45.
  • the decorative accessory 40 is preferably integrally molded from a thermoplastic polymer such as for example an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).
  • ABS acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
  • the hubcap is formed by a profiled rod 41 whose front is covered with a decorative chrome plating.
  • This rod 41 is partially housed in the recess of the front facade of the ice 20 delimited by the two recesses 23 and the recessed wall 24, its rear edge 42 being pressed against the peripheral contour of this recessed wall 24.
  • the stem 45 takes root at the rear of the rod 41 and extends transversely thereto. It passes through the compartment 35 from one end to the other thanks to two circular orifices 29 and 13, formed respectively in the recessed wall 24 of the window 20 and in the portion 10A of the housing 10.
  • the free end of the rod 45 is provided with retaining means cooperating with the rear face of the casing 10 to ensure the translation locking of the decoration accessory 40, so as to maintain
  • the means are here formed by a threading 46 on which is screwed a nut 47 pressed against the rear face of the portion 10A of the housing 10.
  • the rod 45 of the decorative accessory 40 passes through the compartment 35, which is insulated against the remainder of the interior volume housing the lighting devices 2 and 5, the water which could possibly infiltrate within this compartment 35, via the openings 29 and 13 formed respectively on the recessed wall 24 of the glass 20 and the portion 10A of the housing 10, would be circumscribed and therefore could not penetrate into the part of the projector 1 housing these lighting devices 2 and 5.
  • the decoration accessory 40 that comprises the projector according to the invention can be very easily replaced by the user without it being necessary to proceed to complete disassembly of the projector.
  • the retaining means for locking in translation of the decoration accessory are different.
  • the free end of the rod may comprise, in place of the thread, a transverse orifice traversed by a pin disposed against the rear face of the housing, or else elastically deformable tabs snapped through the housing so that a portion of each of these tabs abuts against the rear face of the housing.
