L'invention concerne également un véhicule automobile dont le capot intègre un ou plusieurs The invention relates to a one-piece assembly incorporating a headlight element and at least part of the air intake grille on the hood of a motor vehicle. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle whose hood incorporates one or more
ensembles de ce type.sets of this type.
ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUE ANTERIEURESTATE OF THE PRIOR ART
Sur les véhicules automobiles de conception récente, certaines pièces de carrosserie sont réalisées de plus en plus fréquemment en matière plastique moulée On newly designed motor vehicles, certain body parts are made more and more frequently from molded plastic
par injection.by injection.
Ce type de fabrication permet de recycler les pièces et limite ainsi le volume des déchets This type of manufacturing makes it possible to recycle the parts and thus limits the volume of waste
lorsque les véhicules sont mis au rebut. when vehicles are scrapped.
L'utilisation de matière plastique est également favorable à une réduction du cot de fabrication des véhicules et à une augmentation des The use of plastic also favors a reduction in the cost of manufacturing vehicles and an increase in
cadences de fabrication.production rates.
Parmi les pièces de carrosserie qui peuvent actuellement être fabriquées en matière plastique, par moulage par injection, on peut notamment citer le Among the bodywork parts which can currently be made of plastic, by injection molding, mention may in particular be made of:
capot, les ailes et le hayon du véhicule. hood, fenders and tailgate of the vehicle.
Par ailleurs, les capots des véhicules automobiles existants sont habituellement équipés d'une calandre d'entrée d'air, réalisée en une ou plusieurs parties. Cette calandre est destinée à assurer une entrée d'air de refroidissement dans le moteur. Le capot d'un véhicule automobile est aussi équipé d'éléments de phares. Cet agencement traditionnel présente Furthermore, the hoods of existing motor vehicles are usually equipped with an air intake grille, made in one or more parts. This grille is intended to ensure the entry of cooling air into the engine. The hood of a motor vehicle is also equipped with headlight elements. This traditional arrangement presents
différents inconvénients.different disadvantages.
Ainsi, la multiplication des pièces rapportées sur les éléments de carrosserie tels que le capot augmente le temps de montage et, par conséquent, Thus, the multiplication of parts added to the bodywork elements such as the hood increases the assembly time and, consequently,
le cot de fabrication du véhicule. the manufacturing cost of the vehicle.
La durée des opérations de démontage qui doivent être effectuées lors du recyclage est également d'autant plus grande que le nombre des pièces à démonter est élevé. Le cot du démontage s'en trouve The duration of the dismantling operations which must be carried out during recycling is also greater the greater the number of parts to be dismantled. The cost of disassembly is found
donc accru.therefore increased.

Conformément à l'invention, cet ensemble comprend principalement une structure monobloc moulée , susceptible d'être fabriqué en matière plastique rigide, selon des techniques du moulage par injection connues de l'homme du métier. Cette structure monobloc moulée 10, réalisée d'un seul tenant, comprend une première portion 12 qui constitue un élément de phare et une deuxième portion 14 qui constitue une partie de According to the invention, this assembly mainly comprises a one-piece molded structure, capable of being made of rigid plastic material, according to injection molding techniques known to those skilled in the art. This one-piece molded structure 10, produced in one piece, comprises a first portion 12 which constitutes a headlight element and a second portion 14 which constitutes a part of
calandre d'entrée d'air.air intake grille.
Il est à noter cependant que l'invention n'est pas limitée à un ensemble 10 prévu pour être monté sur le capot du véhicule automobile. De façon plus générale, l'ensemble selon l'invention peut être monté sur tout élément de carrosserie susceptible de recevoir un élément de phare et une partie de calandre d'entrée d'air du véhicule, tel que le capot ou les ailes. Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, la deuxième portion 14 de la structure monobloc moulée 10 est située en dessous de It should be noted however that the invention is not limited to an assembly 10 intended to be mounted on the hood of the motor vehicle. More generally, the assembly according to the invention can be mounted on any bodywork element capable of receiving a headlight element and a part of the vehicle's air intake grille, such as the hood or the wings. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the second portion 14 of the one-piece molded structure 10 is located below
la première portion 12 de ladite structure. the first portion 12 of said structure.
En outre, la première portion 12 de la structure monobloc moulée 10 comprend principalement un boîtier de l'élément de phare. Ce boîtier comporte une paroi supérieure, une paroi inférieure, deux parois latérales et un fond délimitant un espace ouvert vers l'avant, dans lequel peuvent être montées une ou plusieurs ampoules telles que 16. Le fond du boîtier 12 du phare est équipé à cet effet de tout moyen de montage approprié, selon des techniques connues de In addition, the first portion 12 of the one-piece molded structure 10 mainly comprises a housing of the headlight element. This box has an upper wall, a lower wall, two side walls and a bottom delimiting a space open towards the front, in which one or more bulbs can be mounted such as 16.

l'homme du métier.the skilled person.
En plus de la structure monobloc moulée 10 l'ensemble selon l'invention comprend également une glace étanche 18. La glace 18 est fixée de façon démontable sur le boîtier 12 du phare, de façon à fermer de manière étanche l'espace délimité à l'intérieur dudit boîtier. La fixation démontable de la glace 18 sur le boîtier 12 est réalisée par tout moyen approprié tel que des vis 20, selon des techniques In addition to the one-piece molded structure 10, the assembly according to the invention also comprises a sealed glass 18. The glass 18 is detachably fixed on the housing 12 of the headlight, so as to seal the space delimited inside said housing. The removable fixing of the glass 18 on the housing 12 is carried out by any suitable means such as screws 20, according to techniques
classiques bien connues de l'homme du métier. well known to those skilled in the art.
L'étanchéité est obtenue en interposant un joint tel The seal is obtained by interposing a joint such
que 22 entre la glace 18 et le bord du boîtier 12. that 22 between the glass 18 and the edge of the housing 12.
Dans le mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures 1 et 2, la deuxième portion 14 de la structure monobloc moulée 10 comprend une paroi supérieure confondue avec la paroi inférieure du boîtier 12, une paroi inférieure, deux parois latérales et des ailettes verticales reliant les parois inférieure et supérieure de l'élément de calandre formé In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the second portion 14 of the one-piece molded structure 10 comprises an upper wall merged with the lower wall of the housing 12, a lower wall, two side walls and vertical fins connecting the walls lower and upper of the formed grille element
par ladite deuxième portion 14.by said second portion 14.
Conformément à l'invention, tous les éléments des première et deuxième portions 12 et 14 sont réalisés d'un seul tenant, lors d'une unique According to the invention, all the elements of the first and second portions 12 and 14 are made in one piece, during a single
opération de moulage par injection. injection molding operation.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit à titre d'exemple. En particulier, on comprendra aisément que les formes et les dimensions de l'élément de phare et de la partie de calandre formés par les deux portions de la structure monobloc moulée 10 peuvent être quelconques, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described by way of example. In particular, it will be readily understood that the shapes and dimensions of the headlight element and of the grille part formed by the two portions of the molded one-piece structure 10 can be any, without departing from the scope of the invention.
