Abstract

The system consists of light sources (21) in a mobile component (20) such as the lower edge of a vehicle door and a luminescent surface (13) on a fixed component such as a sill (10) that is normally concealed by the door. When the door is opened a signal switches on the light sources in its lower edge, illuminating the sill and the luminescent surface, created e.g. by a light-sensitive or phosphorescent film, which remains luminous for a predetermined period of time.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif lumineux pour au moins uneThe present invention relates to a light device for at least one

zone d'un élément ponctuellement dissimulé par un élément mobile, notamment pour un véhicule automobile.  zone of an element punctually concealed by a movable element, in particular for a motor vehicle.

L'invention concerne également un procédé de réalisation d'un effet lumineux sur au moins une zone d'un seuil d'une porte d'un véhicule automobile.  The invention also relates to a method for producing a light effect on at least one area of a threshold of a door of a motor vehicle.

Dans de nombreux domaines et notamment dans le domaine des véhicules automobiles, les constructeurs souhaitent mettre en valeur, à des moments déterminés, certaines zones comportant des sigles, des logos ou des inscriptions afin que les utilisateurs captent rapidement une information.  In many areas, particularly in the field of motor vehicles, manufacturers want to highlight, at certain times, certain areas with acronyms, logos or inscriptions so that users can quickly collect information.

Or, ces zones peuvent être dissimulées par des éléments mobiles déplaçables entre une position de recouvrement de ces zones et une position escamotée rendant ces zones visibles à un utilisateur.  However, these areas can be concealed by movable elements movable between a covering position of these areas and a retracted position making these areas visible to a user.

C'est le cas par exemple des véhicules automobiles qui comportent des éléments dans l'habitacle dont certaines zones sont pourvues d'inscriptions ou de logos dissimulés derrière un élément mobile. Le déplacement de l'élément mobile permet à un utilisateur à un moment précis de découvrir ces zones.  This is the case, for example, of motor vehicles which comprise elements in the passenger compartment of which certain zones are provided with inscriptions or logos concealed behind a mobile element. Moving the moving element allows a user at a specific time to discover these areas.

Ces zones sont par exemple les seuils des portes comportant des inscriptions, comme par exemple le nom du constructeur ou du véhicule qui, lorsque les occupants montent ou descendent en situation nocturne ne sont pas visibles.  These zones are, for example, the thresholds of the doors with inscriptions, such as, for example, the name of the manufacturer or the vehicle which, when the occupants go up or down in the night situation, are not visible.

Or, les seuils de portes des véhicules automobiles ne sont pas situés à proximité d'un environnement qui permette de les éclairer.  However, door thresholds of motor vehicles are not located near an environment that allows them to light.

Pour rendre les seuils des portes visibles en situation nocturne après ouverture de la porte, une solution consiste à réaliser un rétroéclairage de la zone des seuils de portes comportant l'inscription ou le logo.  To make the thresholds of doors visible in the night after opening the door, one solution is to provide a backlight of the area of the thresholds of doors with the inscription or the logo.

Mais, plusieurs contraintes rendent difficile ou coûteuse une telle solution.  But, several constraints make difficult or expensive such a solution.

En effet, ces zones sur les seuils de portes ne sont pas étanches et ne comportent aucune alimentation électrique. De plus, le passage d'un faisceau de câbles de manière masquée pour déboucher au niveau des zones à 30 éclairer, est impossible en raison de la localisation de ces zones sur un corps creux inaccessible lors du montage du véhicule.  Indeed, these areas on the thresholds of doors are not waterproof and do not include any power supply. In addition, the passage of a wiring harness in a masked manner to reach the areas to be illuminated, is impossible because of the location of these areas on a hollow body inaccessible during assembly of the vehicle.

L'invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif lumineux d'au moins une zone d'un élément ponctuellement dissimulé par un élément mobile, qui permet, par des moyens simples et peu onéreux, d'éviter ces inconvénients et d'apporter une solution à ce problème.  The object of the invention is to propose a light device of at least one zone of an element punctually concealed by a mobile element, which makes it possible, by simple and inexpensive means, to avoid these disadvantages and to provide a solution. to this problem.

L'invention a donc pour objet un dispositif lumineux pour au moins une zone d'un élément ponctuellement dissimulé par un élément mobile, caractérisé en ce que l'élément mobile comporte au moins une source lumineuse d'éclairage momentané de ladite zone pendant son recouvrement par l'élément mobile et en ce que la zone comporte une surface luminescente permettant une réémission lumineuse pendant une durée déterminée après déplacement de l'élément mobile.  The subject of the invention is therefore a luminous device for at least one zone of an element punctually concealed by a mobile element, characterized in that the movable element comprises at least one momentary illumination light source of said zone during its recovery. by the movable element and in that the zone comprises a luminescent surface allowing a light re-emission for a predetermined period after displacement of the movable element.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention: - la surface luminescente est formée par un film phosphorescent, - l'élément mobile est formé par une porte d'un véhicule automo- bile comportant, à sa partie inférieure, ladite au moins source lumineuse et en ce que la zone est implantée sur le seuil de la porte.  According to other characteristics of the invention: the phosphor surface is formed by a phosphorescent film; the movable element is formed by a door of a motor vehicle comprising, at its lower part, said at least one light source; and in that the zone is located on the threshold of the door.

L'invention a également pour objet un procédé de réalisation d'un 20 effet lumineux sur au moins une zone d'un seuil d'une porte d'un véhicule automobile, caractérisé en ce que: - on détecte la commande de l'ouverture de la porte, - on éclaire avant l'ouverture de la porte ladite zone munie d'une surface luminescente, et - on ouvre la porte, ladite zone restant lumineuse pendant une durée déterminée.  The invention also relates to a method for producing a light effect on at least one area of a threshold of a door of a motor vehicle, characterized in that: - the control of the opening is detected of the door, - is illuminated before opening the door said area provided with a luminescent surface, and - the door is opened, said area remaining bright for a predetermined period.

Selon une autre caractéristique du procédé, on maintient l'éclairage de ladite zone après fermeture de la porte pendant l'utilisation du véhicule.  According to another characteristic of the method, the illumination of said zone is maintained after closing the door during the use of the vehicle.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre, donnée à titre d'exemple et faite en référence à la figure unique annexée qui est une vue schématique en perspective d'un seuil d'une porte et d'une porte en position ouverte, équipés d'un dispositif lumineux conforme à l'invention.  Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description, given by way of example and with reference to the single appended figure which is a schematic perspective view of a threshold of a door and a door in the open position, equipped with a light device according to the invention.

La description qui suit est faite en prenant comme exemple l'application du dispositif lumineux conforme à l'invention, à un seuil d'une porte et à une porte d'un véhicule automobile. Mais, d'une manière générale, le dispositif lumineux selon l'invention s'applique pour toute zone d'un élément ponctuellement dissimulé par un élément mobile.  The following description is made by taking as an example the application of the light device according to the invention, to a threshold of a door and a door of a motor vehicle. But, in general, the light device according to the invention applies to any area of an element punctually concealed by a movable element.

Sur la figure, on a représenté partiellement un seuil 10 d'une porte d'un véhicule automobile et une porte 20 déplaçable entre une position de fermeture dans laquelle le seuil 10 est dissimulé par la porte 20 et une position d'ouverture dans laquelle ce seuil 10 est visible.  In the figure, there is shown partially a threshold 10 of a door of a motor vehicle and a door 20 movable between a closed position in which the threshold 10 is concealed by the door 20 and an open position in which this threshold 10 is visible.

Le seuil 10 comporte, dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur la figure, une plaque 11, comme par exemple en aluminium ou en matière plastique, dont au moins une zone 12 comporte par exemple des inscriptions, des logos ou des sigles 13.  The threshold 10 comprises, in the embodiment shown in the figure, a plate 11, for example of aluminum or plastic, at least one zone 12 comprises for example inscriptions, logos or acronyms 13.

Le dispositif permet de rendre lumineuse pendant une durée déterminée, la zone 12 du seuil 10 lorsque la porte 20 est ouverte permettant ainsi à l'utilisateur de voir les inscriptions 13, notamment en période nocturne.  The device makes it possible to make the zone 12 of the threshold 10 light up during a determined period of time when the door 20 is open, thus enabling the user to see the inscriptions 13, especially during the night period.

Le dispositif se compose d'au moins une source lumineuse 21 et de préférence de plusieurs sources lumineuses 21 implantées en bas du caisson de la porte 20, à l'aplomb des inscriptions 13 de la zone 12 lorsque la porte 20 est fermée.  The device consists of at least one light source 21 and preferably several light sources 21 located at the bottom of the box of the door 20, in line with the inscriptions 13 of the zone 12 when the door 20 is closed.

La zone 12 du seuil 10 comportant les inscriptions 13 à éclairer est recouverte d'une matière réagissant à la lumière, capable de réémettre la lumière pendant une certaine durée, hors exposition de cette zone 12. Cette matière peut par exemple être constituée d'un film photosensible, tel qu'un film phosphorescent.  The zone 12 of the threshold 10 comprising the inscriptions 13 to be illuminated is covered with a light-reactive material capable of reemitting the light for a certain period of time, excluding exposure of this zone 12. This material may, for example, consist of a photosensitive film, such as a phosphorescent film.

Ainsi, au moyen d'une stratégie adaptée de fonctionnement des sources lumineuses 21, il suffit d'éclairer la zone 12 "réactive", pendant quelques secondes, lorsque l'utilisateur ouvre la porte 20, pour que les inscriptions 13 apparaissent lumineuses.  Thus, by means of a suitable strategy for operating the light sources 21, it suffices to illuminate the "reactive" zone 12, for a few seconds, when the user opens the door 20, so that the inscriptions 13 appear bright.

Le pilotage des sources lumineuses peut être effectué par le calculateur existant sur le véhicule ou bien par un boîtier dédié à cette fonction prenant en compte l'impossibilité d'éclairer de manière permanente la zone 12 du seuil 10.  The control of the light sources can be performed by the existing computer on the vehicle or by a housing dedicated to this function taking into account the impossibility of permanently illuminating the zone 12 of the threshold 10.

Pendant l'arrêt du véhicule, pour économiser de l'énergie, les sources lumineuses 21 sont éteintes.  During the stopping of the vehicle, to save energy, the light sources 21 are extinguished.

Lorsqu'un utilisateur souhaite utiliser le véhicule, deux stratégies de pilotage des sources lumineuses 21 peuvent être envisagées.  When a user wishes to use the vehicle, two strategies for controlling the light sources 21 can be envisaged.

Si un éclairage de courte durée est suffisant pour obtenir un effet lumineux sur les inscriptions 13 de la zone 12 du seuil 10, la stratégie envisagée consiste à détecter l'ouverture de la porte, puis à alimenter les sources lumineuses 21 pendant que la porte est fermée de manière à éclairer la zone 12 pendant une durée nécessaire d'éclairage qui est fonction du matériau composant la surface luminescente. Dès que la porte est ouverte, les sources lumineuses 21 éclairent le sol et les inscriptions 13 de la zone 12 sont luminescentes.  If short duration lighting is sufficient to obtain a luminous effect on the inscriptions 13 of the zone 12 of the threshold 10, the envisaged strategy is to detect the opening of the door, then to feed the light sources 21 while the door is closed so as to illuminate the area 12 for a necessary duration of illumination which is a function of the material component of the luminescent surface. As soon as the door is open, the light sources 21 illuminate the floor and the inscriptions 13 of the zone 12 are luminescent.

La détection de l'ouverture de la porte 20 peut se faire par le boîtier de commande à distance du déverrouillage des portes du véhicule, une temporisation pouvant être éventuellement ajoutée pour que le fonctionnement des sources lumineuses 21 soit limité dans le temps. La détection de l'ouverture de la porte 20 peut se faire aussi par une détection de l'ouverture de la serrure de cette porte 20 et dans ce cas le matériau composant la surface luminescente est suffisamment sensible pour ne nécessiter qu'un temps d'exposition de quelques centièmes de seconde. Enfin, la détection de l'ouverture de la porte peut se faire par un capteur de type capacitif placé sur les commandes d'ouverture de porte.  Detection of the opening of the door 20 can be done by the remote control unit of the unlocking of the vehicle doors, a delay possibly being added so that the operation of the light sources 21 is limited in time. The detection of the opening of the door 20 can also be done by a detection of the opening of the lock of this door 20 and in this case the material component of the luminescent surface is sensitive enough to require only one time. exposure of a few hundredths of a second. Finally, the detection of the opening of the door can be done by a capacitive type sensor placed on the door opening controls.

Si un éclairage de plus longue durée est nécessaire pour obtenir un effet lumineux des inscriptions 13 de la zone 12, l'alimentation des sources lumineuses 21 est réalisée dès la détection de I'actionnement du boîtier de commande du déverrouillage à distance de la porte 20. Cette détection commande l'alimentation des sources lumineuses 21 qui éclairent la zone 12. Quand la porte 20 est ouverte, les sources lumineuses 21 illuminent le sol et la zone 12 est luminescente. Les sources lumineuses 21 sont maintenues en fonctionnement après la fermeture de la porte 20 pendant l'utilisation du véhicule.  If lighting of longer duration is necessary to obtain a luminous effect of the inscriptions 13 of the zone 12, the power supply of the light sources 21 is carried out as soon as the operation of the control unit of the remote unlocking of the door 20 is detected. This detection controls the supply of the light sources 21 which illuminate the zone 12. When the door 20 is open, the light sources 21 illuminate the ground and the zone 12 is luminescent. The light sources 21 are kept in operation after the closing of the door 20 during the use of the vehicle.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet donc par des moyens simples et peu coûteux, de valoriser une zone qui le plus souvent est dissimulée, par un effet lumineux momentané.  The device according to the invention thus makes it possible, by simple and inexpensive means, to enhance an area that is most often concealed by a momentary luminous effect.
