Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un projecteur pour véhicule automobile et en particulier à un perfectionnement technique destiné à améliorer l'aspect extérieur des projecteurs, c'est-à-dire de la partie visible de l'extérieur du véhicule.The present invention relates to a headlamp for a motor vehicle and in particular to a technical improvement intended to improve the external appearance of the headlamps, that is to say of the visible part of the exterior of the vehicle.

Comme on le sait, les projecteurs des véhicules automobiles sont conçus de façon à permettre un réglage de l'orientation du faisceau lumineux, réglage généralement réalisé en rendant le réflecteur du projecteur mobile par rapport aux pièces environnantes du véhicule.As is known, the headlights of motor vehicles are designed so as to allow an adjustment of the orientation of the light beam, an adjustment generally achieved by making the reflector of the headlight movable relative to the surrounding parts of the vehicle.

Deux cas peuvent se présenter :

  • - Sur la figure 1 du dessin annexé, la glace diffusante est solidaire du réflecteur par l'intermédiaire d'une entretoise. L'ensemble est alors réglable par rapport à une structure fixe du châssis ou de la carrosserie.
  • - Sur la figure 2, la glace diffusante est montée sur un boîtier fixe à l'intérieur duquel un réflecteur peut se mouvoir. Le mouvement se limite généralement à un pivotement autour d'un axe horizontal tel que représenté en pointillés.
Two cases can arise:
  • - In Figure 1 of the accompanying drawing, the diffusing glass is secured to the reflector via a spacer. The assembly is then adjustable relative to a fixed structure of the chassis or the bodywork.
  • - In Figure 2, the diffusing glass is mounted on a fixed housing inside which a reflector can move. The movement is generally limited to a pivoting around a horizontal axis as shown in dotted lines.

Cette solution permet de réduire les jeux existant entre le boîtier qui est fixe et les éléments environnants, à savoir essentiellement le capot moteur et le pare-chocs.This solution makes it possible to reduce the play existing between the housing which is fixed and the surrounding elements, namely essentially the engine cover and the bumper.

En contrepartie, il est nécessaire de prévoir un jeu suffisant entre le boîtier et le réflecteur pour permettre le pivotement de ce dernier. Mais ce jeu est visible de l'extérieur, à travers la glace, et se traduit par un encadrement intérieur plus sombre donnant l'impres- w sion de réduire les dimensions apparentes et utiles du projecteur. Cette impression est encore renforcée par le fait que les parois intérieures du boîtier sont également visibles de l'extérieur et présentent une discontinuité d'aspect avec le réflecteur si ces deux éléments n'ont.pas le même revêtement de surface.In return, it is necessary to provide sufficient clearance between the housing and the reflector to allow the latter to pivot. But this play is visible from the outside, through the glass, and results in a darker interior frame giving the impression of reducing the apparent and useful dimensions of the projector. This impression is further reinforced by the fact that the interior walls of the housing are also visible from the outside and have a discontinuity in appearance with the reflector if these two elements do not have the same surface coating.

Le but de la présente invention est d'éviter les inconvénients précédents et de proposer un projecteur présentant un aspect extérieur uniforme notamment entre la glace et le réflecteur.The object of the present invention is to avoid the above drawbacks and to propose a headlamp having a uniform external appearance, in particular between the glass and the reflector.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un projecteur du type à glace et boîtier fixes et à réflecteur mobile, essentiellement caractérisé en ce que le jeu transversal existant entre le réflecteur et le boîtier ainsi que les parois intérieures du boîtier comprises entre les faces frontales du boîtier et du réflecteur sont masqués par un manchon convergent revêtu intérieurement d'une couche de matériau de même aspect que celle recouvrant la paroi intérieure du réflecteur, manchon dont une extrémité est fixée sur le rebord périphérique du boîtier et dont'l'autre extrémité est libre et vient affleurer la paroi intérieure du réflecteur tout en ménageant un jeu axial suffisant pour permettre le pivotement du réflecteur.To this end, the subject of the invention is a headlamp of the type with fixed glass and housing and with movable reflector, essentially characterized in that the transverse clearance existing between the reflector and the housing as well as the interior walls of the housing lying between the faces front of the housing and the reflector are masked by a converging sleeve internally coated with a layer of material of the same appearance as that covering the interior wall of the reflector, sleeve of which one end is fixed to the peripheral rim of the housing and of which the other end is free and comes flush with the interior wall of the reflector while providing sufficient axial clearance to allow pivoting of the reflector.

D'autres caractéristiques apparaîtront à la description qui suit d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention, en référence au dessin annexé sur lequel :

  • - les figures 1 et 2 illustrent des réalisations selon la technique antérieure ;
  • - la figure 3 montre, en coupe, un projecteur selon l'invention équipé d'un manchon intégré au boîtier ;
  • - la figure 4 illustre un manchon rapporté sur le boîtier ;
  • - les figures 5, 6 et 7 représentent respectivement en perspective, en élévation et en coupe selon la ligne VII de la.figure 5, un mode préféré d'assemblage du manchon sur le boîtier ;
  • - la figure 8 est une variante de l'assemblage de la figure 7.
Other characteristics will appear from the following description of an embodiment of the invention, with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • - Figures 1 and 2 illustrate embodiments according to the prior art;
  • - Figure 3 shows, in section, a projector according to the invention equipped with a sleeve integrated into the housing;
  • - Figure 4 illustrates a sleeve attached to the housing;
  • - Figures 5, 6 and 7 show respectively in perspective, in elevation and in section along line VII of la.figure 5, a preferred method of assembling the sleeve on the housing;
  • - Figure 8 is a variant of the assembly of Figure 7.

On reconnaît sur la coupe de la figure 2 qui illustre,la technique antérieure, un projecteur de véhicule automobile monté entre le capot moteur 1 et le pare-chocs avant 2, et comportant une glace diffusante 3 assemblée par collage sur le rebord périphérique 4 d'un boîtier fixe 5. A l'intérieur du boîtier, un réflecteur 6 est susceptible de pivoter autour d'un axe horizontal 7 pour régler de façon connue l'orientation du faisceau lumineux délivré par la source de lumière 8.We recognize in the section of Figure 2 which illustrates the prior art, a motor vehicle headlamp mounted between the engine cover 1 and the front bumper 2, and comprising a diffusing glass 3 assembled by bonding to the peripheral rim 4 of a fixed housing 5. Inside the housing, a reflector 6 is capable of pivoting about a horizontal axis 7 to adjust in a known manner the orientation of the light beam delivered by the light source 8.

Conformément à l'invention, afin de masquer le jeu 9 existant entre le contour extérieur 10 du réflecteur et le contour intérieur 11 du boîtier, ainsi que les parois intérieures 12 visibles du boîtier et comprises entre la face frontale 13 du boîtier et la face frontale 14 du réflecteur, on intercale une pièce intermédiaire 15 en forme de manchon convergent dont une extrémité 16 est reliée au rebord périphérique 4 du boîtier et dont l'autre extrémité 17 reste libre et vient affleurer sensiblement le prolongement de la paroi intérieure 18 du réflecteur pour donner un aspect de continuité. Toutefois; on observe un jeu axial 19 suffisant entre le manchon et le réflecteur pour permettre le pivotement de ce dernier jusqu'à la position représentée en pointillés sur les figures 3 et 4.According to the invention, in order to mask the clearance 9 existing between the outer contour 10 of the reflector and the inner contour 11 of the housing, as well as the interior walls 12 visible from the housing and comprised between the front face 13 of the housing and the front face 14 of the reflector, an intermediate piece 15 is interposed in the form of a convergent sleeve, one end 16 of which is connected to the peripheral rim 4 of the housing and the other end 17 of which remains free and is substantially flush with the extension of the internal wall 18 of the reflector for give an aspect of continuity. However; there is sufficient axial play 19 between the sleeve and the reflector to allow the latter to pivot to the position shown in dotted lines in FIGS. 3 and 4.

Les faibles dimensions du manchon 15 permettent d'envisager dans des conditions économiques un revêtement de sa surface intérieure 20 avec un matériau sinon de même nature, au moins de même aspect que le revêtement recouvrant le réflecteur. Il peut s'agir notamment d'une couche de peinture, d'une métallisation sous vide, d'un revêtement électrolytique tel qu'un chromage ou un nickelage, etc.The small dimensions of the sleeve 15 make it possible to envisage, under economic conditions, a coating of its internal surface 20 with a material if not of the same kind, at least of the same appearance as the coating covering the reflector. It may in particular be a layer of paint, a vacuum metallization, an electrolytic coating such as chrome plating or nickel plating, etc.

Le manchon 15 peut être réalisé en matière synthétique, par exemple en matière plastique ou en tout autre matériau économique tel que de la tôle emboutie.The sleeve 15 can be made of synthetic material, for example plastic or any other economical material such as stamped sheet metal.

S'agissant d'une matière synthétique, le manchon peut être intégré au boîtier et venir directement de moulage avec lui, comme illustré sur la figure 3. Dans ce cas, l'ensemble pourra être réalisé en deux moitiés pour faciliter l'opération de démoulage.Being a synthetic material, the sleeve can be integrated into the housing and come directly from molding with it, as illustrated in FIG. 3. In this case, the assembly can be made in two halves to facilitate the operation of demoulding.

Lorsque le manchon 15 est fabriqué séparément du boîtier, il est alors rapporté sur ce dernier (figure 4) et peut être fixé par différents procédés d'assemblage classiques tels que vissage, rivetage , encliquetage, collage etc. (cerclages 21 de la figure 4).When the sleeve 15 is manufactured separately from the housing, it is then attached to the latter (FIG. 4) and can be fixed by various conventional assembly methods such as screwing, riveting, snap-on, bonding etc. (straps 21 in Figure 4).

Les figures 5 à 7 illustrent un mode d'assemblage préféré du manchon 15 sur le boîtier 5 au moyen de pattes 22 venant de moulage avec le manchon et s'engageant dans des encoches 23 correspondantes du boîtier réparties régulièrement sur la périphérie des deux éléments à assembler. La figure 6 comporte ainsi 8 pattes de fixation et de centrage.FIGS. 5 to 7 illustrate a preferred mode of assembly of the sleeve 15 on the housing 5 by means of lugs 22 coming from molding with the sleeve and engaging in corresponding notches 23 of the housing distributed regularly over the periphery of the two elements to to assemble. Figure 6 thus comprises 8 fixing and centering tabs.

La figure 5 reproduit en perspective éclatée une patte 22 inférieure, prolongeant à l'équerre le bord retourné 30 du manchon. Cette patte s'engage dans l'encoche 23 pratiquée dans l'une des ailes de la rainure en U formant le rebord 4 du boîtier, destiné à recevoir le bord de la glace diffusante 3 (non représentée). L'encoche donne lieu à un décrochement 24 en surépaisseur de sorte qu'après engagement, la face avant 25 de la patte affleure le fond 26 de la rainure pour ne pas gêner le bord de la glace au montage. L'ensemble est immobilisé par le cordon de colle 27 qui sert à fixer la glace (figure 7).Figure 5 shows in exploded perspective a lower tab 22, extending at right angles to the inverted edge 30 of the sleeve. This tab engages in the notch 23 formed in one of the wings of the U-shaped groove forming the rim 4 of the housing, intended to receive the edge of the diffusing glass 3 (not shown). The notch gives rise to a setback 24 in excess thickness so that after engagement, the front face 25 of the tab is flush with the bottom 26 of the groove so as not to hinder the edge of the glass during assembly. The assembly is immobilized by the bead of adhesive 27 which serves to fix the glass (FIG. 7).

Dans la variante représentée sur la figure 8, les pattes de fixation 22 sont légèrement plus longues que dans le cas précédent et se verrouillent élastiquement derrière l'aile inférieure 28 de la rainure en U, c'est-à-dire l'aile opposée à l'encoche.In the variant shown in FIG. 8, the fixing lugs 22 are slightly longer than in the previous case and are locked elastically behind the lower wing 28 of the U-shaped groove, that is to say the opposite wing at the notch.

Pour cela, l'encoche 23 de la figure 5 est prolongée vers le bas et débouche à travers l'aile inférieure 28 de la rainure, ajourée en 29 à cet effet.For this, the notch 23 in Figure 5 is extended downward and opens through the lower wing 28 of the groove, perforated at 29 for this purpose.

Cette particularité permet un prémontage du manchon 15 par encliquetage des pattes 22 sur le boîtier, ce qui facilite ensuite la manipulation des pièces pour l'opération de collage de la glace 3.This feature allows pre-assembly of the sleeve 15 by snap-fastening the tabs 22 on the housing, which then facilitates the handling of the parts for the operation of bonding the glass 3.

L'invention n'est pas limitée à la réalisation décrite mais englobe également les équivalents techniques simples à la portée de l'homme de métier.The invention is not limited to the embodiment described but also encompasses simple technical equivalents within the reach of the skilled person.
