Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne l'agencement d'un feu de signalisation dans un véhicule automobile. Plus particulièrement, elle concerne les feux de signalisation supplémentaires implantés au niveau du pavillon dudit véhicule. The invention relates to the arrangement of a signaling light in a motor vehicle. More particularly, it relates to the additional signaling lights installed at the level of the roof of said vehicle.
Dans un souci de sécurité, les véhicules automobiles sont maintenant équipés d'un feu de signalisation supplémentaire situé à un niveau plus élevé que les feux habituels disposés sur la carrosserie et qui sert, en particulier, de rappel d'indication de freinage. For the sake of safety, motor vehicles are now fitted with an additional signaling light located at a higher level than the usual lights arranged on the bodywork and which serves, in particular, as a brake indication reminder.
Le document FR 2 663 274 décrit, par exemple, un tel agencement. Celui-ci prévoit que le feu est installé dans un logement disposé dans le pavillon du véhicule et adjacent à la vitre qui s'étend jusqu'au voisinage de ce pavillon. Document FR 2 663 274 describes, for example, such an arrangement. This provides that the light is installed in a housing arranged in the roof of the vehicle and adjacent to the window which extends to the vicinity of this roof.
Cette disposition est particulièrement bien adaptée pour rendre l'indication d'un feu de ce type, placé derrière la vitre arrière d'un véhicule, nettement visible dans une circulation en file relativement serrée. This arrangement is particularly well suited for making the indication of a fire of this type, placed behind the rear window of a vehicle, clearly visible in relatively tight lane traffic.
Toutefois, le style actuel des véhicules exige des vitrages inclinés par rapport à la carrosserie et pourvus d'un galbe prononcé. En fabrication, il n'est pas possible d'obtenir les courbures nécessaires sans admettre des dispersions sur les cotes de ces vitrages. II est donc difficile de garantir au montage un jointage parfait entre le bord du logement du feu et le vitrage adjacent. II en résulte une fuite de lumière à l'intérieur de l'habitacle, préjudiciable à la bonne visibilité du dispositif. However, the current style of vehicles requires glazing that is inclined relative to the bodywork and provided with a pronounced curve. In manufacturing, it is not possible to obtain the necessary curvatures without admitting dispersions on the dimensions of these glazings. It is therefore difficult to guarantee a perfect joint during assembly between the edge of the light housing and the adjacent glazing. This results in a light leak inside the passenger compartment, detrimental to the good visibility of the device.
L'invention se propose donc de remédier à cet inconvénient et, à cet effet, elle à pour objet un agencement d'un feu de signalisation pour véhicule automobile implanté au niveau du pavillon dudit véhicule, entre une traverse et un vitrage, ledit feu comprenant un module de lumière dont le faisceau lumineux est dirigé à travers le vitrage vers l'extérieur du véhicule, un support dudit module, et un cache dont le pourtour est placé en appui contre la face interne du vitrage. Ledit cache comporte au moins une articulation apte à basculer autour d'un axe transversal de façon à toujours appliquer son pourtour précité sur le vitrage, sous l'action d'une force de rappel exercée sur la partie du cache située du côté opposé audit pourtour, par rapport à l'articulation. The invention therefore proposes to remedy this drawback and, for this purpose, it relates to an arrangement of a signaling light for a motor vehicle located at the roof of said vehicle, between a cross member and a glazing unit, said light comprising a light module, the light beam of which is directed through the glazing towards the exterior of the vehicle, a support for said module, and a cover, the periphery of which is placed in abutment against the internal face of the glazing. Said cover comprises at least one articulation capable of tilting about a transverse axis so as to always apply its aforementioned periphery to the glazing, under the action of a restoring force exerted on the part of the cover situated on the side opposite said periphery , compared to the joint.
- Selon un mode de réalisation:
* le cache est composé d'une cloison disposée sous le
module de lumière et de deux faces latérales.- According to one embodiment:
* the cover is made up of a partition placed under the
light module and two side faces.
* De préférence, le bord externe de chacune des faces
latérales précitées possède un profil conformé pour
s'ajuster au plus près à la courbure de la face interne
en regard du vitrage.* Preferably, the outer edge of each of the faces
above mentioned side has a shaped profile for
adjust as closely as possible to the curvature of the internal face
opposite the glazing.
* la force de rappel est exercée, par exemple, par un
ressort placé en appui élastique entre une paroi du
support et la partie de la cloison adjacente au bord
interne parallèle et opposé au bord externe en appui
contre le vitrage.* the restoring force is exerted, for example, by a
spring placed in elastic support between a wall of the
support and the part of the partition adjacent to the edge
internal parallel and opposite to the external edge in support
against the glazing.
- On précisera encore que le pourtour externe du cache est
muni d'un joint, bourrelet ou analogue.- It will also be specified that the external periphery of the cover is
provided with a seal, bead or the like.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre, pour la compréhension de laquelle on se reportera aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels
- la figure 1 est une vue en coupe longitudinale partielle
d'un pavillon de véhicule automobile, au droit du feu
de signalisation selon l'invention et,
- la figure 2 est une vue schématique de face du feu de
la figure 1.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the detailed description which follows, for the understanding of which reference will be made to the appended drawings, in which
- Figure 1 is a partial longitudinal sectional view
a motor vehicle roof, at the traffic light
signaling according to the invention and,
- Figure 2 is a schematic front view of the
Figure 1.
On voit sur les figures, un pavillon 1 de véhicule automobile et une traverse 2 solidaire dudit pavillon et formant le cadre supérieur d'une baie 3 fermée par le vitrage 4. Un joint 5 d'étanchéité est interposé entre ce vitrage et le bord de la traverse 2. On a représenté schématiquement le module de lumière 6 qui peut être composé soit d'une ou plusieurs ampoules, soit d'une batterie de diodes électroluminescente soit de toute autre source lumineuse appropriée. Le module est monté sur un support 7 fixé sur la traverse 2 à l'aide de vis 8. Le faisceau lumineux 9 du module 6 est ainsi dirigé vers l'extérieur du véhicule, à travers le vitrage 4. We see in the figures, a pavilion 1 of a motor vehicle and a cross 2 integral with said pavilion and forming the upper frame of a bay 3 closed by the glazing 4. A seal 5 is interposed between this glazing and the edge of the cross-member 2. The light module 6 is shown diagrammatically, which can be composed either of one or more bulbs, or of a battery of light-emitting diodes or of any other suitable light source. The module is mounted on a support 7 fixed to the cross-member 2 using screws 8. The light beam 9 of the module 6 is thus directed towards the outside of the vehicle, through the glazing 4.
Pour éviter la dispersion de la lumière à l'intérieur de l'habitacle, le module de lumière est en outre placé dans un logement, délimité en partie arrière, vers l'intérieur de l'habitacle, par le garnissage 10 du pavillon et obturé, en direction du vitrage, par un cache 11. Ce cache est constitué d'une cloison horizontale 12, disposée en dessous du module de lumière 6, et de deux faces latérales 13 perpendiculaires ou sensiblement perpendiculaire à la cloison précitée. Le profil du bord 14 de ces faces adjacent au vitrage est conformé de façon à s'ajuster au plus près à la courbure de la face interne en regard du vitrage. To avoid the dispersion of light inside the passenger compartment, the light module is also placed in a housing, delimited at the rear, towards the interior of the passenger compartment, by the lining 10 of the roof and closed , in the direction of the glazing, by a cover 11. This cover consists of a horizontal partition 12, arranged below the light module 6, and of two lateral faces 13 perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the aforementioned partition. The profile of the edge 14 of these faces adjacent to the glazing is shaped so as to fit as closely as possible to the curvature of the internal face opposite the glazing.
Le bord externe 15 de la cloison 12 vient également s'appuyer contre cette face interne. En complément, le pourtour extérieur du cache 11, formé du bord 15 et des deux bords 14 et qui est ainsi appliqué contre le vitrage, peut-etre muni d'un bourrelet, joint ou analogue 16. The external edge 15 of the partition 12 also bears against this internal face. In addition, the outer periphery of the cover 11, formed from the edge 15 and the two edges 14 and which is thus applied against the glazing, may be provided with a bead, joint or the like 16.
A cause des dispersions de fabrication, il peut arriver que la courbure du vitrage varie d'un véhicule à l'autre, comme cela a été représenté en traits mixtes sur la figure 1. Dans ce cas, pour que le pourtour du cache reste exactement en appui sur le vitrage, ii faut que la position de ce cache s'adapte à ces variations de courbure. Due to manufacturing variations, it may happen that the curvature of the glazing varies from one vehicle to another, as shown in phantom in Figure 1. In this case, so that the periphery of the cover remains exactly resting on the glazing, it is necessary that the position of this cover adapts to these variations in curvature.
Pour ce faire, le cache est fixé sur le support 7 par une articulation 17 d'axe transversal 18. Cette articulation solidaire, par exemple, de la cloison 12 est située à proximité du bord interne 19 de celle-ci qui est parallèle au bord externe 15, mais elle ne lui est pas immédiatement adjacente. To do this, the cover is fixed on the support 7 by an articulation 17 of transverse axis 18. This articulation integral, for example, with the partition 12 is located near the internal edge 19 thereof which is parallel to the edge external 15, but it is not immediately adjacent to it.
De cette façon, il subsiste une partie 20 de la cloison 12 entre
I'articulation 17 et le bord interne 19 précité.In this way, there remains part 20 of the partition 12 between
The articulation 17 and the internal edge 19 mentioned above.
Cette partie 20 se trouve donc à l'extérieur du logement formé par le cache 11 autour du module de lumière 6 et en regard d'une paroi 21 du support 7. Un ressort 22 est monté en appui élastique entre cette paroi 21 et la partie externe 20 de la cloison du cache 11. This part 20 is therefore outside the housing formed by the cover 11 around the light module 6 and facing a wall 21 of the support 7. A spring 22 is mounted in elastic support between this wall 21 and the part outer 20 of the bulkhead of the cover 11.
L'articulation 17 permet ainsi à la cloison 12 et par conséquent au cache 11 de fonctionner comme un levier basculant. Sous l'effet de la force F exercée par le ressort de rappel 22 prenant appui sur le support fixe 7, la partie du cache située de l'autre côté de l'articulation et servant de logement au module lumineux, subit un effort exercé dans le sens inverse et qui a donc tendance à appliquer ses bords 14,15 contre le vitrage 4. The articulation 17 thus allows the partition 12 and therefore the cover 11 to function as a rocking lever. Under the effect of the force F exerted by the return spring 22 bearing on the fixed support 7, the part of the cover located on the other side of the articulation and serving as a housing for the light module, undergoes a force exerted in the opposite direction and which therefore tends to apply its edges 14,15 against the glazing 4.
Quelle que soit la courbure du vitrage associé, le cache 11 sera donc automatiquement appliqué contre celui-ci. Whatever the curvature of the associated glazing, the cover 11 will therefore be automatically applied against it.
Bien entendu, I'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation que l'on vient de décrire. C'est ainsi, par exemple, que l'articulation 17 que l'on a représentée unique, peut être remplacée par deux articulations montées adjacentes aux, ou solidaires des faces latérales 13 du cache, ou par toute autre disposition équivalente permettant d'obtenir la même cinématique. Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described. Thus, for example, the articulation 17 which has been shown to be unique, can be replaced by two articulations mounted adjacent to, or integral with the lateral faces 13 of the cover, or by any other equivalent arrangement making it possible to obtain the same kinematics.
De même, dans le cas d'un véhicule à hayon arrière relevable, le support 7 du feu de signalisation ne sera pas fixé sur la traverse du pavillon mais sur la traverse supérieure du hayon basculant. Similarly, in the case of a liftable rear tailgate vehicle, the support 7 of the signaling light will not be fixed on the cross member of the roof but on the upper cross member of the tilting tailgate.
