Abstract

The invention relates to additional signalling lights with which certain motor vehicles can be equipped, including a top and at least one window (6) extending as far as the vicinity of the top. This arrangement is characterised in that a housing (14) is provided, emerging outside the vehicle, situated in a region adjacent to the said window and to the said top and in which the signalling light is arranged.

Description

La présente invention concerne l'agencement d'un feu de signalisation dans un véhicule automobile. The present invention relates to the arrangement of a signaling light in a motor vehicle.

Il est souhaitable, dans un souci de sécurité, d'équiper les véhicules automobiles de feux de signalisation supplémentaires qui sont situés à un niveau plus élevé que les feux habituels disposés sur la carrosserie. Ces feux qui peuvent par exemple être des feux indicateurs de freinage sont en effet mieux visibles, notamment lors d'une circulation en file relativement serrée. It is desirable, for safety reasons, to equip motor vehicles with additional signaling lights which are located at a higher level than the usual lights arranged on the bodywork. These lights, which may for example be brake indicator lights, are in fact better visible, in particular during relatively tight queuing.

Les documents FR-A-2 563 787 et EP-A-0046 717 décrivent de tels agencements. Dans le premier cas, le feu est placé sur a plage arrière d'un véhicule, contre la lunette arrière. Cet agencement présente plusieurs inconvénients : la plage arrière est encombrée en permanence et la visibilité du conducteur à travers la lunette arrière peut en être affectée de même que l'esthétique générale du véhicule. De plus le feu supplémentaire est susceptible de recevoir des chocs. Documents FR-A-2,563,787 and EP-A-0046,717 describe such arrangements. In the first case, the light is placed on the rear shelf of a vehicle, against the rear window. This arrangement has several drawbacks: the rear shelf is permanently congested and the visibility of the driver through the rear window can be affected as well as the general aesthetics of the vehicle. In addition, the additional light is liable to receive shocks.

Dans le second cas, le feu de signalisation est intégré à la feuille de verre constituant par exemple la lunette arrière du véhicule et l'on retrouve alors le deuxième inconvénient mentionné cidessus auquel s'ajoute une difficulté de fabrication. In the second case, the signaling light is integrated into the glass sheet constituting for example the rear window of the vehicle and there is then the second drawback mentioned above, to which is added a manufacturing difficulty.

Le but de l'invention est de remédier à ces divers inconvénients et de proposer un agencement de feu de signalisation, qui n' encombre ni la plage arrière ni une vitre du véhicule, tout en étant très visible. The object of the invention is to remedy these various drawbacks and to propose an arrangement of signaling lights, which does not obstruct either the rear shelf or a window of the vehicle, while being very visible.

A cet effet l'invention a pour objet un agencement d'un feu de signalisation dans un véhicule automobile comportant un pavillon et au moins une vitre s'étendant jusqu'au voisinage du pavillon, caractérisé en ce que le véhicule comporte un logement débouchant à l'extérieur du véhicule, situé dans une zone adjacente audit pavillon et à ladite vitre, et dans lequel est disposé le feu de signalisation. To this end the invention relates to an arrangement of a signaling light in a motor vehicle comprising a roof and at least one window extending to the vicinity of the roof, characterized in that the vehicle comprises a housing opening out to the exterior of the vehicle, located in an area adjacent to said roof and to said window, and in which the signaling light is arranged.

Suivant d'autres caractéristiques
- le logement est situé dans une zone adjacente au pavillon et à la vitre de la lunette arrière;
- le logement est délimité en partie par la doublure du pavillon, en partie par la garniture du pavillon et en partie par un joint de fixation de la vitre et de la lunette arrière, et il débouche à l'extérieur du véhicule par une ouverture ménagée dans ledit joint de fixation;
- le feu de signalisation est encastré dans ladite ouverture;
- le joint comporte une gorge et le feu de signalisation comporte à sa périphérie un bossage complémentaire.According to other characteristics
- the accommodation is located in an area adjacent to the roof and the rear window glass;
the housing is delimited in part by the lining of the roof, in part by the lining of the roof and in part by a fixing joint for the window and the rear window, and it opens to the outside of the vehicle through a opening in said fixing joint;
- the signaling light is embedded in said opening;
- The seal has a groove and the signal light has at its periphery an additional boss.

L'invention va être décrite plus en détail ci-dessous en se référant aux dessins annexés, donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple et sur lesquels
La Fig. i est une vue partielle en perspective de l'arrière d'un véhicule équipé d'un feu de signalisation supplémentaire selon l'invention.The invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, given solely by way of example and in which
Fig. i is a partial perspective view of the rear of a vehicle equipped with an additional signaling light according to the invention.

La Fig. 2 est une vue en coupe longitudinale partielle du pavillon du véhicule de la Fig. 1. Fig. 2 is a view in partial longitudinal section of the roof of the vehicle of FIG. 1.

On voit sur la Fig. 1, la partie arrière d'un véhicule comportant notamment un pavillon 1, une vitre 2 de lunette arrière, un joint de fixation 3 de la vitre 2 sur la carrosserie et des feux indicateurs de freinage 4. We see in Fig. 1, the rear part of a vehicle comprising in particular a roof 1, a window 2 of the rear window, a fixing joint 3 for the window 2 on the bodywork and brake indicator lights 4.

Selon l'invention un feu de signalisation supplémentaire 5 est agencé dans la zone adjacente au pavillon 1 et à la vitre 2. According to the invention, an additional signaling light 5 is arranged in the area adjacent to the pavilion 1 and to the window 2.

L'agencement d'un tel feu est représenté plus en détail à la Fig. 2. The arrangement of such a light is shown in more detail in FIG. 2.

Le pavillon est formé d'une'tôle extérieure 10 et d'une doublure intérieure i1 jointives à leurs extrémités 12 et 13 situées à l'arrière du pavillon. The pavilion is formed of an outer sheet 10 and an inner lining i1 contiguous at their ends 12 and 13 located at the rear of the pavilion.

Ces extrémités sont encastrées dans le joint de fixation 3 qui maintient la vitre 2. Le joint de fixation 3 et la doublure intérieure il délimitent un logement 14 obturé à sa partie inférieure par le garnissage 15 du pavillon.These ends are embedded in the fixing gasket 3 which holds the window 2. The fixing gasket 3 and the inner lining define a housing 14 closed at its lower part by the lining 15 of the roof.

Le joint de fixation 3 est muni à sa partie supérieure d'une ouverture 16 dans laquelle est encastré un boîtier de feu de signalisation 17 dont la paroi translucide 18 est orientée vers l'extérieur du véhicule et vient obturer l'ouverture 16 en continuité avec la face extérieure du joint. The fixing joint 3 is provided at its upper part with an opening 16 in which is embedded a signaling light housing 17 whose translucent wall 18 is oriented towards the outside of the vehicle and closes the opening 16 in continuity with the outer face of the seal.

Le boîtier 17 est muni à sa périphérie d'un bossage 19 qui vient s'encastrer dans une gorge 19a prévue dans l'ouverture du joint de fixation. L'encastrement du bossage dans la gorge assure à la fois la fixation du boîtier de signalisation et l'étanchéité de l'ensemble. The housing 17 is provided at its periphery with a boss 19 which fits into a groove 19a provided in the opening of the fixing joint. The embedding of the boss in the groove ensures both the fixing of the signaling box and the tightness of the assembly.

Le boîtier 17 est équipé d'une ampoule 20 reliée par des conducteurs disposés dans le logement 14, à un dispositif d'alimentation et de commande connus en soi et non représentés au dessin. The housing 17 is equipped with a bulb 20 connected by conductors arranged in the housing 14, to a supply and control device known per se and not shown in the drawing.

Dans l'exemple représenté, le dispositif de commande est actionné à partir de la pédale de frein du véhicule, le feu de signalisation selon l'invention constituant alors un feu supplémentaire indicateur de freinage. In the example shown, the control device is actuated from the vehicle brake pedal, the signaling light according to the invention then constituting an additional brake indicator light.

L'agencement que l'on vient de décrire ré pond entièrement aux objectifs recherchés. Le feu supplémentaire est situé dans la partie supérieure du véhicule, il n'occupe aucun volume ni sur la plage arrière ni sur la vitre arrière. Le feu est bien protégé et l'esthétique du véhicule est tout-à-fait respectée. The arrangement that we have just described fully meets the desired objectives. The additional light is located in the upper part of the vehicle, it occupies no volume either on the rear shelf or on the rear window. The fire is well protected and the aesthetics of the vehicle are fully respected.

Les moyens mis en jeu sont par ailleurs très simples et peu coûteux. The means involved are also very simple and inexpensive.

D'autres modes de réalisation peuvent être envisagés, par exemple en prévoyant le logement dans le pavillon de telle sorte que le logement débouche à l'extérieur du véhicule à travers la tôle du pavillon. Other embodiments can be envisaged, for example by providing the housing in the roof so that the housing opens to the outside of the vehicle through the sheet of the roof.

On peut également implanter cet agencement dans un élément articulé de carrosserie comportant une vitre, par exemple un hayon arrière.  This arrangement can also be installed in an articulated body element comprising a window, for example a tailgate.
