Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne les feux de signalisation pour véhicules automobiles comprenant un boîtier porte-lampes sur lequel vient se fixer au moins une glace transparente ou translucide. The invention relates to signaling lights for motor vehicles comprising a lamp holder housing on which is fixed at least one transparent or translucent glass.
Le boîtier comporte des douilles de réception de culots d'ampoules, avec les contacts pour ces ampoules, et est muni de circuits de connexion permettant l'alimentation sélective des diverses ampoules. Ces circuits de connexion peuvent être de simples fils conducteurs ou une tôle découpée. On a également proposé d'utiliser un circuit imprimé souple qui offre de nombreux avantages de prix, de légèreté, de facilité de montage. Cependant, leur pro tection.mécanique et vis vis des agents atmosphériques pose des problèmes importants. The housing includes sockets for receiving bulb caps, with the contacts for these bulbs, and is provided with connection circuits allowing the selective supply of the various bulbs. These connection circuits can be simple conductive wires or a cut sheet. It has also been proposed to use a flexible printed circuit which offers numerous advantages of price, lightness, ease of assembly. However, their mechanical and screw protection against atmospheric agents poses significant problems.
La présente invention vise à protéger de manière simple et économique un circuit imprimé souple dealimenta- tion des ampoules d'un feu de signalisation, tout en conservant les avantages liés à l'utilisation d'un tel circuit imprimé souple. The present invention aims to protect in a simple and economical way a flexible printed circuit supplying the bulbs of a traffic light, while retaining the advantages linked to the use of such a flexible printed circuit.
A cet effet l'invention a pour objet un boîtier porte-lampes pour feu de signalisation de véhicule automobile comprenant un circuit imprimé souple d'alimentation des lampes, caractérisé par le fait que ledit circuit imprimé souple est maintenu contre la face arrière du portelampes par un couvercle articulé sur un bord dudit boîtier. To this end, the subject of the invention is a lamp holder housing for a motor vehicle signaling light comprising a flexible printed circuit for supplying the lamps, characterized in that said flexible printed circuit is held against the rear face of the lamp holder by a cover hinged on one edge of said housing.
De préférence,- le couvercle est d'une seule pièce avec le boîtier et est relié à celui-ci par un film-charnière. Preferably, the cover is in one piece with the housing and is connected to the latter by a film hinge.
L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description suivante faite en se référant au dessin annexé dans lequel
- la figure 1 est une vue en plan d'un boîtier selon un exemple de réalisation de l'invention, avant assemblage,
- la figure 2 est une vue en plan d'un circuit imprimé destine à être enfermé dans le boîtier de la figure 1, et
- la figure 3 est une vue en coupe d'un feu de signalisation muni d'un porte-lampes et d'un circuit imprimé selon les figures 1 et 2. The invention will be clearly understood on reading the following description made with reference to the appended drawing in which
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a housing according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, before assembly,
FIG. 2 is a plan view of a printed circuit intended to be enclosed in the box of FIG. 1, and
- Figure 3 is a sectional view of a signaling light provided with a lamp holder and a printed circuit according to Figures 1 and 2.
Le boîtier selon l'invention comprend un portelampes 1 sur lequel est articulé un couvercle 2 au moyen d'une charnière 3, l'ensemble étant moulé en une seule pièce avec un film d'épaisseur réduite constituant la charnière 3. The housing according to the invention comprises a lamp holder 1 on which a cover 2 is hinged by means of a hinge 3, the assembly being molded in one piece with a film of reduced thickness constituting the hinge 3.
La face avant du porte-lampes 1 comporte des douilles 4 venues de moulage avec la pièce 1-2-3 et qui portent des ampoules de signalisation 5. Des lames de contact 6 montées sur les douilles 4 assurent l'alimentation des ampoules 5 par coopération avec un circuit imprimé souple 7. The front face of the lamp holder 1 has sockets 4 molded with the part 1-2-3 and which carry signaling bulbs 5. Contact blades 6 mounted on the sockets 4 supply the bulbs 5 by cooperation with a flexible printed circuit 7.
Le circuit imprimé 7 est maintenu contre la face arrière du porte-lampes 1 par repliage du couvercle 2 autour de la charnière 3 et fixation de ce couvercle 2 au porte-lampes 1. Le circuit 7 est terminé par une zone de contact 8 qui fait saillie par une découpure 9 du portelampes 1. The printed circuit 7 is held against the rear face of the lamp holder 1 by folding the cover 2 around the hinge 3 and fixing this cover 2 to the lamp holder 1. The circuit 7 is terminated by a contact zone 8 which makes projection by a cutout 9 of the lamp holder 1.
La fixation peut etre effectuée par tout moyen convenable. Si une étanchéité n'est pas indispensable, la fixation peut etre faite point par point par clipsage ou par des tétons écrasés à chaud. Si on désire obtenir une étanchéité, la fixation sera faite sur la périphérie commune du porte-lampes et du couvercle, par exemple par collage ou par soudure. The fixing can be carried out by any suitable means. If a seal is not essential, the fixing can be done point by point by clipping or by hot crushed nipples. If it is desired to obtain a seal, the attachment will be made to the common periphery of the lamp holder and of the cover, for example by gluing or by welding.
Des réflecteurs 10 munis de vitres transparentes de couleur 11 reçoivent de toute manière convenable le porte-lampes 1. Le boîtier porte-lampes selon l'invention protège les circuits de contact grâce au couvercle 2 et aucun contact n'est apparent depuis l'arrière du portelampes. Reflectors 10 provided with transparent colored windows 11 receive the lamp holder 1 in any suitable manner. The lamp holder box according to the invention protects the contact circuits thanks to the cover 2 and no contact is apparent from the rear of the lamp holders.
