- Lighting devices for vehicles provided with multiple optical functions obtained by using one or more rotating elements are known in the art.

EP2957822 discloses a lighting device including a rotating module including a fixed reflector, a fixed light source aligned with an axis, and a couple of opposite screens rotating around the axis under the action of a motor actuator; the two screens embody two lenses, e.g. one provided with prisms and one neutral, in order to change the light distribution provided by the light source and the reflector when each of the screens is selectively rotated in front of the reflector. -
EP2902701 discloses a rotating lighting module wherein the light source is a LED and the reflector consists of a rotating support having two opposite faces, one constituting the reflector and the other realizing a second function, e.g. an aspect function; a fixed motor rotates the support with respect to the fixed light source in order to bring selectively the two faces on the front side of the device facing toward the direction of motion of the vehicle; the support also bears at its opposite faces two light guides operatively associated with a second LED. - The lighting devices of the prior art need actuation mechanisms to operate the rotating modules and to leave the rotating parts to be free to rotate. Unfortunately, those mechanisms may be seen from the outside due to the fact that the modern lighting devices are generally provided with outer transparent covers/lens through which the lighting modules are visible. The lighting devices need therefore to be provided with an aesthetic mask to cover the actuating mechanisms. However, the presence of the aesthetic mask renders the mounting of the lighting device and its maintenance (e.g. to replace the light sources) quite complex and difficult.
- The object of the present invention is to provide a lighting device for vehicles provided with lighting modules therein which are visible from the outside that is compact, simple and cost-effective in construction and highly reliable, while ensuring at the same time to hide in an efficient manner the inner mechanisms of the lighting device, e.g. for actuating one or more rotating lighting modules, without interfering with the optical functions of the lighting modules.
