Abstract

The lighting assembly comprises a needle bulb (1) that has electrical contacts at either end (2,3).One end co-operates with an exterior opening or door assembly and the other with a support. A push rod assembly (13) is actuated when the bulb is depressed via an sprung element (8) mounted on the support. Depression of the push rod completes the electrical circuit and activates the bulb.

Description

La présente invention vise un ensemble d'éclai-The present invention relates to a set of lighting

rage de coffre, boîte à gants et vide-poches pour véhicule.  rage of trunk, glove box and storage pockets for vehicle.

Les dispositifs de rangement de véhicule tels que les coffres, videpoches ou boîte à gants comportent généralement une lampe d'éclairage insérée sur un circuit électrique dont la fermeture est commandée par l'ouverture  Vehicle storage devices such as trunks, storage compartments or glove boxes generally include a lighting lamp inserted on an electrical circuit, the closing of which is controlled by the opening

du couvercle ou de la porte des dispositifs de rangement.  the cover or the door of the storage devices.

De telles installations comprennent généralement un poussoir mobile contre l'action d'un ressort et qui, lors de l'ouverture de la porte du dispositif de rangement, agit sur un interrupteur commandant la fermeture du circuit  Such installations generally include a movable pusher against the action of a spring and which, when the door of the storage device is opened, acts on a switch controlling the closing of the circuit.

de la lampe.of the lamp.

De telles installations sont relativement chères et complexes et la présente invention a pour but de réaliser un ensemble d'éclairage beaucoup plus simple  Such installations are relatively expensive and complex and the present invention aims to achieve a much simpler lighting assembly

que ceux de la technique antérieure.  than those of the prior art.

L'ensemble d'éclairage, selon l'invention, est du type comprenant une lampe navette dont les deux plots sont insérés sur un circuit électrique sur lequel est interposé un interrupteur commandé par un poussoir, ledit ensemble étant caractérisé en ce que l'un des plots de la lampe navette coopère avec une ouverture d'un contact inséré sur le circuit électrique, tandis que l'autre plot est emboîté dans une ouverture d'un support isolant sur lequel repose élastiquement une branche reliée au poussoir  The lighting assembly according to the invention is of the type comprising a shuttle lamp, the two studs of which are inserted on an electrical circuit on which is interposed a switch controlled by a pusher, said assembly being characterized in that one studs of the shuttle lamp cooperates with an opening of a contact inserted on the electrical circuit, while the other stud is fitted into an opening of an insulating support on which elastically rests a branch connected to the pusher

et percée d'un trou ayant une dimension légèrement supérieu-  and pierced with a hole having a slightly larger dimension

re à celle de l'ouverture du support et insérée sur ledit  re to that of the opening of the support and inserted on said

circuit électrique.electrical circuit.

Grâce à une telle disposition, la branche constitue, en combinaison avec le poussoir, un interrupteur puisque le circuit électrique peut être fermé sur la lampe navette lorsque le poussoir a été déplacé de manière que la branche soit poussée élastiquement afin que le bord  Thanks to such an arrangement, the branch constitutes, in combination with the pusher, a switch since the electrical circuit can be closed on the shuttle lamp when the pusher has been moved so that the branch is pushed elastically so that the edge

du trou de celle-ci coopère avec le plot correspondant.  of the hole thereof cooperates with the corresponding stud.

Dès que la pression sur le poussoir est relâ-  As soon as the pressure on the pusher is released

chée, la branche ramène celui-ci dans sa position initiale  the branch brings it back to its original position

et ainsi commande l'ouverture du circuit électrique.  and thus controls the opening of the electrical circuit.

Suivant un détail constructif, la branche constitue le prolongement d'une lame élastique présentant une branche fixe reliée au circuit électrique et présentant  According to a constructive detail, the branch constitutes the extension of an elastic blade having a fixed branch connected to the electrical circuit and having

un coude prolongé par ladite branche.  an elbow extended by said branch.

Enfin, afin d'augmenter l'action élastique  Finally, in order to increase the elastic action

de la branche, le coude est en forme d'arc de cercle.  of the branch, the elbow is in the shape of an arc of a circle.

L'invention va maintenant être décrite avec plus de détails en se référant à un mode de réalisation particulier donné à titre d'exemple seulement et représenté aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels: Figure 1 est une vue schématique partiellement  The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to a particular embodiment given by way of example only and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a schematic view partially

en coupe d'un ensemble, selon l'invention.  in section of an assembly according to the invention.

Figure 2 est une vue similaire à la figure 1,  Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1,

la lampe étant en position d'allumage.  the lamp being in the ignition position.

Aux figures, on a représenté un ensemble d'éclairage comportant une lampe dite "navette" avec un corps 1 en verre dans lequel s'étend un filament relié à deux plots 2 et 3. Le plot 2 s'insère dans une ouverture 4  In the figures, there is shown a lighting assembly comprising a lamp called "shuttle" with a glass body 1 in which extends a filament connected to two pads 2 and 3. The pad 2 is inserted in an opening 4

d'un contact 5, soit relié à une source de courant couvena-  a contact 5, either connected to a covered current source

ble, soit relié à une masse, tandis que le plot 3 est engagé dans une ouverture 6 d'un support 7 réalisé en  ble, is connected to a ground, while the stud 3 is engaged in an opening 6 of a support 7 made in

un matériau isolant électriquement.  an electrically insulating material.

Le contact 5 est élastique de manière que  Contact 5 is elastic so that

la lampe 1 soit parfaitement maintenue contre le support 7.  the lamp 1 is perfectly held against the support 7.

Une lame métallique élastique 8 est reliée à une masse, si le contact 5 est relié à une source de courant électrique, ou reliée à une source de courant  An elastic metal blade 8 is connected to a ground, if the contact 5 is connected to an electric current source, or connected to a current source

électrique si le contact 5 est à la masse.  electrical if contact 5 is grounded.

La lame 8 présente une branche fixe 8a prolongée par un coude 8b en forme d'arc de cercle à partir duquel s'étend une branche 9 percée d'un trou 10. Ce dernier est circulaire et présente un diamètre supérieur à celui  The blade 8 has a fixed branch 8a extended by a bend 8b in the form of an arc of circle from which extends a branch 9 pierced with a hole 10. The latter is circular and has a diameter greater than that

La branche 9 repose sur le support 7 avec  The branch 9 rests on the support 7 with

une certaine pré-contrainte.some pre-constraint.

Lorsqu'on agit sur le poussoir 13 dans le sens de la flèche f (voir figure 2), on pousse la branche 9 contre son action élastique, son trou 10, par son bord  When one acts on the pusher 13 in the direction of the arrow f (see FIG. 2), one pushes the branch 9 against its elastic action, its hole 10, by its edge

On peut également prévoir que la branche 9 tend à s'écarter du support 7, le poussoir 13 étant sollicité lors de la fermeture d'un volet pour être déplacé dans le sens contraire à la flèche f. Ainsi, lorsqu'on ouvre le volet, la branche 9 vient automatiquement dans  One can also provide that the branch 9 tends to move away from the support 7, the pusher 13 being biased when closing a shutter to be moved in the opposite direction to the arrow f. Thus, when the shutter is opened, the branch 9 automatically comes into

la position de la figure 2 en faisant coulisser le poussoir 13 dans le sens de la flèche f.  the position of Figure 2 by sliding the pusher 13 in the direction of arrow f.
