En se reportant aux figures, le dispositif formant diffuseur d'air destiné à être utilisé dans l'habitacle d'un véhicule automobile, comprend un boîtier 1 pouvant être fixé dans une partie de l'habitacle du véhicule, telle que par exemple le tableau de bord de celui-ci, et dans lequel est montée une grille d'aération 2 comportant un certain nombre de palettes 3 pouvant être orientées manuellement par l'utilisateur suivant une direction choisie de diffusion d'air dans l'habitacle du véhicule. Referring to the figures, the device forming an air diffuser intended for use in the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, comprises a housing 1 which can be fixed in a part of the passenger compartment of the vehicle, such as for example the switchboard. edge thereof, and in which is mounted an air grille 2 comprising a number of vanes 3 can be oriented manually by the user in a chosen direction of air diffusion in the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
La grille 2 comporte deux tourillons séparés coaxiaux supérieur 5 et inférieur 6 pouvant s'engager respectivement dans deux perçages diamétralement opposés 7,8 d'une bague annulaire 9 de façon que la grille 2 puisse pivoter autour de l'axe des tourillons 5,6. The grid 2 comprises two separate upper 5 and lower coaxial pins 6 which can engage respectively in two diametrically opposite holes 7,8 of an annular ring 9 so that the grid 2 can pivot around the axis of the pins 5,6 .
La bague annulaire 9 est fixée dans le boîtier 1 en s'encastrant dans celui-ci de façon appropriée. The annular ring 9 is fixed in the housing 1 by fitting into it appropriately.
Selon l'invention, la bague 9 ainsi que la grille 2, ses tourillons 5 et ses palettes 3 sont réalisés en un matériau translucide et une source de lumière 12 est prévue sur le boîtier 1 de façon à diffuser de la lumière dans la bague 9 et la grille 2 et ses palettes 3 pour rendre ces dernières visibles de l'extérieur et les manipuler aisément dans l'obscurité lorsque le véhicule se déplace de nuit. According to the invention, the ring 9 and the grid 2, its pins 5 and its pallets 3 are made of a translucent material and a light source 12 is provided on the housing 1 so as to diffuse light in the ring 9 and the grid 2 and its pallets 3 to make the latter visible from the outside and to handle them easily in the dark when the vehicle is moving at night.
<Desc/Clms Page number 3> <Desc / Clms Page number 3>
La source de lumière 12 est constituée dans le cas présent par une ampoule électrique 13 logée dans un capuchon 14 raccordé à un fil conducteur d'alimentation électrique 15 et amoviblement fixé à un embout cylindrique 16 solidaire du boîtier radialement à celuici et débouchant dans le boîtier 1 sur la bague 9 pour diffuser la lumière au travers de la bague 9. L'embout cylindrique 16 peut être situé à tout endroit approprié du boîtier 1 radialement au niveau de celui-ci où se trouve la bague 9 de façon que la source 12 soit centrée sur un axe diamétral de la bague 9 et de la grille 2. The light source 12 is constituted in the present case by an electric bulb 13 housed in a cap 14 connected to a conductive electric power wire 15 and removably fixed to a cylindrical end piece 16 secured to the housing radially thereto and opening into the housing 1 on the ring 9 to diffuse the light through the ring 9. The cylindrical end piece 16 can be located at any suitable location on the housing 1 radially at the level where the ring 9 is located so that the source 12 either centered on a diametrical axis of the ring 9 and of the grid 2.
Selon une variante de réalisation, l'ampoule électrique 13 peut être remplacée par l'extrémité d'une fibre optique logée dans l'embout 16 par l'intermédiaire d'un capuchon identique au capuchon 12, l'extrémité opposée de la fibre optique recevant la source lumineuse à diffuser dans la bague 9 et la grille 2. Suivant la disposition radiale relative de la source de lumière 12, si nécessaire, le capot 4 doit être en matériau translucide. According to an alternative embodiment, the light bulb 13 can be replaced by the end of an optical fiber housed in the end piece 16 by means of a cap identical to the cap 12, the opposite end of the optical fiber receiving the light source to diffuse in the ring 9 and the grid 2. According to the relative radial arrangement of the light source 12, if necessary, the cover 4 must be made of translucent material.
Bien entendu, l'invention peut s'appliquer à un dispositif diffuseur d'air d'une structure différente du diffuseur précédemment décrit, du moment que la source de lumière est disposée pour diffuser de la lumière dans une grille d'aération à palettes en un matériau translucide pour manipuler aisément dans l'obscurité le mécanisme d'ouverture et d'orientation des palettes de cette grille. Of course, the invention can be applied to an air diffuser device of a structure different from the diffuser described above, as long as the light source is arranged to diffuse light in a vane ventilation grid. a translucent material for easily manipulating in the dark the mechanism for opening and orienting the pallets of this grid.
