On connaît un feu de signalisation pour véhicule automobile, comportant un support, un porte-lampe fixé au support, une lampe fixée au porte- lampe, et un réflecteur fixé au support. La configuration des pièces nécessite que le feu soit assemblé en montant le réflecteur sur le support, puis le porte-lampe sur le support. Cependant, pour certains modèles de feu, compte tenu de contraintes de fabrication et d'acheminement des pièces jusqu'à la chaîne de montage, les pièces arrivent sur la chaîne dans un ordre ne correspondant pas à l'ordre de montage précité. L'assemblage s'en trouve ralenti, ce qui augmente les prix de revient. Ainsi, si la fabrication du réflecteur est assurée par le constructeur, et celle du A signal light for a motor vehicle is known, comprising a support, a lamp holder fixed to the support, a lamp fixed to the lamp holder, and a reflector fixed to the support. The configuration of the parts requires that the light be assembled by mounting the reflector on the support, then the lamp holder on the support. However, for certain models of fire, given the constraints of manufacturing and routing of the parts to the assembly line, the parts arrive on the chain in an order that does not correspond to the above-mentioned assembly order. Assembly is slowed down, which increases the cost price. Thus, if the reflector is manufactured by the manufacturer, and that of the

En référence aux figures 1 et 2, le dispositif d'éclairage et de signalisation pour véhicule automobile comporte un projecteur et un feu de signalisation qui est With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the lighting and signaling device for a motor vehicle comprises a headlamp and a signaling light which is
ici un feu clignotant.here a flashing light.
Le dispositif comporte un support ou boîtier 2 comportant une paroi plane présentant une ouverture 3 qui The device comprises a support or housing 2 comprising a flat wall having an opening 3 which
constitue un logement de réception pour un porte-lampe. constitutes a reception housing for a lamp holder.
Le dispositif comporte un porte-lampe 4 fixé au support dans le logement 3, par exemple grace à des moyens de fixation par verrouillage quart de tour. Le feu comporte une lampe 6 sous la forme d'une ampoule à section circulaire ayant un axe 8 définissant l'axe du feu. La lampe est fixée par son culot au porte-lampe. Le dispositif comporte en outre un élément de garniture sous la forme d'un réflecteur ou surface optique 10 fixé au support. Le réflecteur comporte un évidement ou ajour 12 d'axe 8 adjacent au porte-lampe et au culot de la lampe, et s'étendant en regard de ceux-ci. L'évidement 12 du réflecteur a des dimensions transversales à l'axe 8, dont l'une L est illustrée sur la figure 1, qui sont supérieures aux dimensions transversales de la lampe, c'est-à-dire en l'espèce supérieures au plus grand The device comprises a lamp holder 4 fixed to the support in the housing 3, for example by means of fixing by quarter-turn locking. The fire comprises a lamp 6 in the form of a circular section bulb having an axis 8 defining the axis of the fire. The lamp is fixed by its base to the lamp holder. The device further comprises a trim element in the form of a reflector or optical surface 10 fixed to the support. The reflector comprises a recess or aperture 12 of axis 8 adjacent to the lamp holder and to the base of the lamp, and extending opposite them. The recess 12 of the reflector has dimensions transverse to the axis 8, one of which L is illustrated in FIG. 1, which are greater than the transverse dimensions of the lamp, that is to say in this case greater at the tallest
diamètre D de la lampe.diameter D of the lamp.
Le support comporte des organes d'encliquetage sous la forme de crochets rigides 14 présentant chacun un ergot s'étendant en saillie vers l'axe 8 et le porte-lampe. Le réflecteur comporte des organes d'encliquetage sous la forme de pattes 16 parallèles à l'axe 8. Ces pattes sont flexibles suivant une direction transversale à l'axe en direction de celui-ci et du porte-lampe, à savoir vers l'intérieur du réflecteur. Elles présentent chacune un orifice adapté à recevoir l'un des ergots. Les crochets et les pattes coopèrent mutuellement et respectivement pour la fixation par encliquetage du réflecteur au support, le montage étant effectué en approchant le réflecteur du support selon un mouvement suivant l'axe 8. Chaque ergot présente une face courbe convexe ou inclinée par rapport à la direction radiale à l'axe 8. Cette face constitue une rampe pour la patte associée lors du montage du réflecteur sur le support, la rampe forçant la patte à se fléchir en direction du porte-lampe au passage de l'ergot, comme le The support comprises latching members in the form of rigid hooks 14 each having a lug projecting towards the axis 8 and the lamp holder. The reflector comprises latching members in the form of lugs 16 parallel to the axis 8. These lugs are flexible in a direction transverse to the axis in the direction of the latter and of the lamp holder, namely towards the inside the reflector. They each have an orifice adapted to receive one of the lugs. The hooks and the legs cooperate mutually and respectively for the snap-fitting fixing of the reflector to the support, the assembly being carried out by approaching the reflector of the support according to a movement along the axis 8. Each lug has a convex or inclined curved face with the radial direction to the axis 8. This face constitutes a ramp for the associated lug when mounting the reflector on the support, the ramp forcing the lug to bend in the direction of the lamp holder as the lug passes, as the
montre la figure 2.shows figure 2.
Le porte-lampe présente une zone 18 s'étendant en regard des crochets du support et des pattes du réflecteur. Suivant la direction radiale de flexion des pattes, cette zone a une dimension M suffisamment réduite pour permettre la flexion de chaque patte du réflecteur au The lamp holder has a zone 18 extending opposite the hooks of the support and the tabs of the reflector. In the radial direction of flexion of the legs, this zone has a dimension M sufficiently small to allow the flexion of each leg of the reflector at
passage du crochet du support.passage of the support hook.
Une fois monté, le réflecteur s'étend suivant une direction radiale entre les crochets du support et le porte-lampe. Il s'étend en regard du porte-lampe et de la Once mounted, the reflector extends in a radial direction between the hooks of the support and the lamp holder. It extends opposite the lamp holder and the
paroi du support à distance de celle-ci. support wall at a distance therefrom.
L'assemblage du dispositif comprend les étapes suivantes. On monte la lampe sur le porte-lampe, puis le porte-lampe sur le support. Ensuite, on monte le réflecteur sur le support. Pour cela, on fait passer la lampe 6 dans l'évidement 12, ce qui est rendu possible par la condition dimensionnelle précitée. On encliquette le réflecteur sur les crochets du support grâce à la The assembly of the device comprises the following steps. The lamp is mounted on the lamp holder, then the lamp holder on the support. Then mount the reflector on the support. For this, the lamp 6 is passed through the recess 12, which is made possible by the aforementioned dimensional condition. The reflector is snapped onto the hooks of the support thanks to the
flexibilité des pattes.flexibility of the legs.
En référence à la figure 3, dans une variante de réalisation, les pattes du réflecteur sont rigides et les crochets du support sont flexibles suivant une direction radiale à l'axe en sens opposé au porte-lampe, à savoir vers l'extérieur du réflecteur. La face des ergots formant rampe provoque ainsi la flexion des crochets au passage Referring to Figure 3, in an alternative embodiment, the legs of the reflector are rigid and the hooks of the support are flexible in a direction radial to the axis opposite to the lamp holder, namely towards the outside of the reflector . The face of the lugs forming a ramp thus causes the hooks to flex when passing
des pattes lors du montage du réflecteur sur le support. legs when mounting the reflector on the support.
Dans cette variante, la dimension transversale M de la zone 18 du portelampe s'étendant en regard des pattes peut être plus importante que sur la figure 1. Cette dimension peut être juste inférieure aux dimensions In this variant, the transverse dimension M of the zone 18 of the lamp holder extending opposite the legs may be greater than in FIG. 1. This dimension may be just less than the dimensions
transversales de l'évidement.transverse of the recess.
Bien entendu, on pourra apporter à l'invention de Of course, we can bring to the invention of
nombreuses modifications sans sortir du cadre de celle-ci. numerous modifications without departing from the framework thereof.
Ainsi, les pattes pourront être portées par le support et les crochets par le réflecteur. Le dispositif pourra comporter plusieurs lampes de signalisation fixées au porte-lampes. L'évidement pourra alors avoir une forme allongée.Le dispositif pourra comprendre un élément de garniture différent d'un réflecteur. Cet élément de Thus, the legs can be carried by the support and the hooks by the reflector. The device may include several signal lamps attached to the lamp holder. The recess may then have an elongated shape. The device may include a trim element different from a reflector. This element of
garniture sera par exemple une plaque optique réfringente. gasket will be for example a refractive optical plate.
