Description

PANNEAU DE CARROSSERIE DE VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE
PORTEUR D'UN FEU DE SIGNALISATION
L'invention concerne un panneau ce carrosserie de véhicule automobile porteur d'un feu de signalisation constitué par un ensemble d'émetteurs de lumière formé par des diodes électroluminescentes.MOTOR VEHICLE BODY PANEL
SIGNALING LIGHT
The invention relates to a panel for this motor vehicle bodywork carrying a signaling light constituted by a set of light emitters formed by light-emitting diodes.

L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un tel panneau porteur d'un feu de signalisation dont l'ensemble des émetteurs est porté par un boîtier qui délimite une cavité de réception des diodes, munie d'un bord de fixation audit panneau.The invention relates more particularly to such a panel carrying a signaling light, the set of transmitters of which is carried by a housing which delimits a cavity for receiving the diodes, provided with an edge for fixing to said panel.

Les feux de signalisation installés sur un panneau arrière de la carrosserie sont plus particulièrement vulnérables si bien qu'il est nécessaire de les protéger contre les chocs reçus par le panneau.Signaling lights installed on a rear panel of the bodywork are more particularly vulnerable so that it is necessary to protect them against shocks received by the panel.

Lorsque les règlements d'installation des feux sur les véhicules autorisent le montage desdits feux sur un panneau articulé, il est particulièrement avantageux d'accoler lesdits feux aux bords latéraux dudit panneau et de les incorporer au panneau hors de la chaîne d'assemblage du véhicule.When the regulations for the installation of lights on vehicles authorize the mounting of said lights on an articulated panel, it is particularly advantageous to attach said lights to the lateral edges of said panel and to incorporate them into the panel outside the assembly line of the vehicle. .

L'invention a pour objet un panneau de carrosserie formant un hayon articulé en verre ou en matière plastique transparente porteur de feux de signalisation.The subject of the invention is a body panel forming a hinged tailgate made of glass or transparent plastic carrying signaling lights.

L'invention a également pour objet un tel hayon dans lequel le conducteur d'alimentation des feux est masqué par une bordure opaque dudit panneau, de manière à conférer à la face arrière de la carrosserie l'esthétique souhaitée.The invention also relates to such a tailgate in which the light supply conductor is masked by an opaque border of said panel, so as to give the rear face of the body the desired aesthetic.

Selon l'invention, le bord de fixation du boîtier porteur du feu de signalisation est solidaire de la face arrière du panneau transparent dont une bordure opaque masque le conducteur d'alimentation du feu.According to the invention, the fixing edge of the housing carrying the signaling light is integral with the rear face of the transparent panel, an opaque border of which hides the light supply conductor.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages du panneau apparaîtront à la lecture d'un exemple de réalisation de celui-ci en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel - la figure 1 est une représentation schématique d'une carrosserie de
véhicule équipée d'un hayon conforme à l'invention, - la figure 2 est une vue en coupe de la carrosserie selon la ligne ll - R de
la figure 1, - la figure 3 est une vue en coupe de la carrosserie selon la ligne m - in
de la figure 1, - la figure 4 est une vue en coupe de la carrosserie selon la ligne IV - IV
de la figure 1, - la figure 5 est une représentation perspective d'une diode
électroluminescente telle qu'elle équipe le feu de signalisation
représenté aux figures 3 ou 4.Other characteristics and advantages of the panel will appear on reading an embodiment thereof with reference to the appended drawing in which - Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a bodywork of
vehicle fitted with a tailgate according to the invention, - Figure 2 is a sectional view of the bodywork along line II - R of
Figure 1, - Figure 3 is a sectional view of the body along the line m - in
of Figure 1, - Figure 4 is a sectional view of the body along the line IV - IV
of Figure 1, - Figure 5 is a perspective representation of a diode
electroluminescent as it equips the traffic light
shown in Figures 3 or 4.

A la figure 1, le panneau de carrosserie désigne un hayon 1 en verre. Le hayon est articulé sur une carrosserie 2 par une charnière non représentée afin de pouvoir pivoter pour ouvrir ou fermer l'accès à un compartiment à bagages 3.In FIG. 1, the body panel designates a glass tailgate 1. The tailgate is articulated on a bodywork 2 by a hinge not shown in order to be able to pivot to open or close access to a luggage compartment 3.

Comme on peut le voir à la figure 2, lorsque le hayon 1 est fermé le panneau repose sur un joint d'étanchéité 4 qui encadre l'ouverture du compartiment à bagages 3 et qui est monté sur le bord d'assemblage 5 du panneau latéral 6 de la carrosserie avec une tôle de doublage 7.As can be seen in Figure 2, when the tailgate 1 is closed the panel rests on a seal 4 which frames the opening of the luggage compartment 3 and which is mounted on the assembly edge 5 of the side panel 6 of the body with a lining sheet 7.

Le hayon 1 porte un feu de signalisation 10 représenté plus en détail aux figures 3 à 5.The tailgate 1 carries a signaling light 10 shown in more detail in FIGS. 3 to 5.

D'une manière générale le feu de signalisation 10 est constitué par un ensemble d'émetteurs de lumière formé par des diodes électroluminescentes 20 schématisées aux figures 3 et 4 par des alignements portés par un boîtier 21 qui délimite une cavité de réception desdites diodes 20 et dans lequel la paroi du boîtier se prolonge par un bord de fixation 22 sur la bordure opaque 12 du hayon 1.In general, the signaling light 10 is constituted by a set of light emitters formed by light-emitting diodes 20 shown diagrammatically in FIGS. 3 and 4 by alignments carried by a housing 21 which delimits a cavity for receiving said diodes 20 and wherein the wall of the housing is extended by a fixing edge 22 on the opaque edge 12 of the tailgate 1.

Selon la figure 3, le bord de fixation 22 est constitué par un pli de la paroi du boîtier 21. According to FIG. 3, the fixing edge 22 is constituted by a fold of the wall of the housing 21.

Selon la figure 4, le bord de fixation 22 est formé sur un support 23 dont la paroi 24 est coiffée par celle du boîtier 21 et qui réalisent conjointement une liaison d'accrochage 25 du support 23. La liaison ainsi réalisée autorise un remplacement aisé du boîtier 21.According to FIG. 4, the fixing edge 22 is formed on a support 23, the wall 24 of which is capped by that of the housing 21 and which jointly produce a fastening connection 25 of the support 23. The connection thus produced allows easy replacement of the housing 21.

A la figure 5, on voit une diode électroluminescente 20 qui comporte l'élément émetteur de lumière proprement dit 30 fixé sur une base 31 et connecté à des bornes 32 et 33. L'élément 30 est entouré par un réflecteur 34 et est recouvert par un encapsulage tronconique 35 dont l'extrémité supérieure 36a constitue une lentille sphérique.In FIG. 5, we see a light-emitting diode 20 which comprises the light emitting element itself 30 fixed on a base 31 and connected to terminals 32 and 33. The element 30 is surrounded by a reflector 34 and is covered by a frustoconical encapsulation 35 whose upper end 36a constitutes a spherical lens.

Le feu 10 représenté aux figures 3 et 4 est constitué par un ensemble de telles diodes électroluminescentes 20 qui sont schématisées au dessin par leurs réflecteurs et fixées en rangées superposées dans le boîtier 21.The light 10 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 consists of a set of such light-emitting diodes 20 which are shown diagrammatically in the drawing by their reflectors and fixed in superimposed rows in the housing 21.

Les bornes 32, 33 des différentes diodes 20 sont rapportées sur une plaque 40 de circuit imprimé montée dans le boîtier 21.The terminals 32, 33 of the different diodes 20 are attached to a printed circuit plate 40 mounted in the housing 21.

Le boîtier 21 peut être par ailleurs fermé par un verre protecteur transparent 42.The housing 21 can also be closed by a transparent protective glass 42.

La plaque 40 est reliée à son tour à un conducteur d'alimentation 43 qui s'étend à partir d'un connecteur 44 le long d'une gouttière support 45 collée sur la bordure 12 du hayon 1. The plate 40 is in turn connected to a supply conductor 43 which extends from a connector 44 along a support gutter 45 bonded to the edge 12 of the tailgate 1.
