Abstract

The invention relates to a pivoting device for a motor vehicle headlamp of the type including a ball joint pivoting inside a bearing, the said ball joint forming the end of a screw for fixing and adjusting the said headlamp. The device according to the invention is characterised by the fact that the said bearing is made up of two half-shells 8, 9 which can be plugged into one another and which leave between them the housing for the ball joint 6 and the passage 12, 13 with clearance for the adjusting screw 2, the external face of the half-shells 8, 9 including means 14, 15 for holding the half-shells 8, 9 close to one another. Application to the motor industry.

Description

Dispositif de pivotement pour projecteur de véhicule automobile.Swivel device for motor vehicle headlamp.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de pivotement pour projecteur de véhicule automobile du type comportant une rotule pivotant à l'intérieur d'une portée, ladite rotule formant l'extrémité d'une vis de fixation et de réglage dudit projecteur.The invention relates to a pivoting device for a motor vehicle headlamp of the type comprising a ball joint pivoting within a bearing surface, said ball joint forming the end of a screw for fixing and adjusting said headlight.

La présente invention vise à donner à une telle structure une forme simple, solide, économique et sûre.The present invention aims to give such a structure a simple, solid, economical and safe form.

A cet effet, le dispositif selon l'invention est caractérisé par le fait que ladite portée est constituée de deux demi-coquilles enfichables l'une dans l'autre et ménageant entre elles le logement de la rotule et le passage avec jeu de la vis de réglage, la face externe des demi-coquilles comportant des moyens de maintien des demi-coquilles rapprochées l'une de l'autre. Ces moyens sont avantageusement constitués par un filetage formé sur la face externe d'une partie des demi-coquilles, avec lequel coopère un écrou.To this end, the device according to the invention is characterized in that said bearing consists of two half-shells pluggable into one another and providing between them the housing of the ball joint and the passage with clearance of the screw adjustment, the outer face of the half-shells comprising means for holding the half-shells close to each other. These means are advantageously constituted by a thread formed on the external face of a part of the half-shells, with which a nut cooperates.

Dans une forme de réalisation préférée, les demi-coquilles sont moulées en matière plastique et, avantageusement, elles sont d'une seule pièce et reliées par une languette souple.In a preferred embodiment, the half-shells are molded from plastic and, advantageously, they are in one piece and connected by a flexible tab.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description suivante faite en se référant au dessin annexé dans lequel: - la figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective éclatée d'un dispositif selon un exemple de réalisation de l'invention, avec une partie d'un projecteur; - la figure 2 est une vue en perspective des demi-coquilles du dispositif de la figure 1, avant l'assemblage; et - la figure 3 est une vue en coupe axiale, partiellement en élévation, de l'articulation de la figure 1.The invention will be clearly understood on reading the following description made with reference to the accompanying drawing in which: - Figure 1 is a schematic exploded perspective view of a device according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, with a part of a projector; - Figure 2 is a perspective view of the half-shells of the device of Figure 1, before assembly; and - Figure 3 is an axial sectional view, partially in elevation, of the joint of Figure 1.

Le dispositif est destiné à la fixation et au réglage d'un projecteur 1 pour véhicule automobile. Une vis 2 pivote dans un alésage fileté 3 ménagé dans une saillie 4 du projecteur 1. L'extrémité antérieure de la vis 2 comporte une fente 5 pour tournevis alors que l'extrémité postérieure forme une rotule 6 sensiblement sphérique. La rotule 6 p-i- vote dans une portée 7.The device is intended for fixing and adjusting a headlight 1 for a motor vehicle. A screw 2 pivots in a threaded bore 3 formed in a projection 4 of the headlamp 1. The front end of the screw 2 has a slot 5 for a screwdriver while the rear end forms a ball joint 6 substantially spherical. The ball 6 p-i- vote in a litter 7.

Conformément à l'invention, la portée 7 est constituée de deux demi-coquilles 8 et 9 comportant chacune une creusure sensiblement semi-sphérique 10,11, prolongée vers 'avant par une portion 12,13 ayant la forme d'un demi-tronc de cône. Les demi-coquilles 8 et 9 comportent une portion arrière 14,15 ayant la forme d'un demi-cylindre muni d'un filetage extérieur. Des tétons 16 coopérant avec des trous 17 dans les demi-coquilles 8,9 assurent leur positionnement relatif précis. Les demi-coquilles 8,9 sont moulées, dans l'exemple décrit, d'une seule pièce en matière plastique et reliées par une languette souple 18.According to the invention, the bearing surface 7 consists of two half-shells 8 and 9 each comprising a substantially semi-spherical recess 10, 11, extended towards the front by a portion 12, 13 having the shape of a half-trunk cone. The half-shells 8 and 9 comprise a rear portion 14, 15 having the shape of a half-cylinder provided with an external thread. Nipples 16 cooperating with holes 17 in the half-shells 8, 9 ensure their precise relative positioning. The half-shells 8, 9 are molded, in the example described, in a single piece of plastic material and connected by a flexible tongue 18.

La vis formée par les portions 14,15 est logée dans un trou 19 d'une partie fixe 20 du véhicule et un écrou 21 est vis sé sur cette vis pour assurer le serrage des demi-coquilles 8 et 9 l'une contre l'autre et le maintien de la rotule 6 entre elles. La vis 2 peut se débattre dans la portion tronconique 12,13 selon les réglages effectués en agissant sur la fente 5 de la vis 2 au moyen d'un tournevis. The screw formed by the portions 14,15 is housed in a hole 19 in a fixed part 20 of the vehicle and a nut 21 is screwed dry on this screw to ensure the tightening of the half-shells 8 and 9 one against the other and maintaining the ball 6 between them. The screw 2 can be struggled in the frustoconical portion 12,13 according to the adjustments made by acting on the slot 5 of the screw 2 by means of a screwdriver.
