Abstract

L'INVENTION CONCERNE UN PHARE POUR VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE, NOTAMMENT POUR UNE VOITURE DE TOURISME, QUI COMPORTE UNE GLACE DE DISPERSION 2 OU ANALOGUE, DONT LA ZONE SUPERIEURE PEUT ETRE RECOUVERTE PAR UN VOLET PIVOTANT 4. ON OBTIENT UN AGENCEMENT PARTICULIEREMENT AVANTAGEUX DU POINT DE VUE AERODYNAMIQUE LORSQUE LE VOLET 4 EST ARTICULE SUR LE VEHICULE DE MANIERE QUE, LORS DE SES MOUVEMENTS DE SORTIE ET DE RENTREE, IL SE DEPLACE AU MOINS A PEU PRES PARALLELEMENT AU CONTOUR DU VEHICULE.THE INVENTION CONCERNS A LIGHTHOUSE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE, IN PARTICULAR FOR A PASSENGER CAR, WHICH INCLUDES A DISPERSAL GLASS 2 OR THE SAME, THE UPPER ZONE OF WHICH CAN BE COVERED BY A PIVOTING SHUTTER 4. A PARTICULARLY ADVANTAGEOUS ARRANGEMENT OF THE POINT IS OBTAINED. AERODYNAMICS WHEN FLAP 4 IS ARTICULATED ON THE VEHICLE SO THAT, DURING ITS EXIT AND RETURN MOVEMENTS, IT MOVES AT LEAST NOT CLOSE PARALLEL TO THE SURROUND OF THE VEHICLE.
