Definitions
- the present invention relates generally automotive headlights, and more particularly an improvement to a projector having a light cover in front of the lamp direct.
- a projector conventionally includes a housing closed at the front by a window and housing a mirror on the bottom of which is mounted a lamp.
- a light cover direct is generally made of sheet metal, and its shape is designed according to the above objective defined.
- the cover is generally neutral in color, for gray example, in order to be as noticeable as possible when the projector is turned off.
- a projector provided with a double-walled direct light cover, the front of which can be reflective to improve its appearance.
- the aesthetic result obtained is generally satisfactory when the projector glass is strongly streaked, these streaks helping to make the cache of little visible direct light when the projector is off.
- the present invention aims to overcome these limitations of the state of the art, and to propose a projector whose extinguished appearance is greatly improved.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a projector in which you can easily play on the aesthetic appearance of the switched off projector, and in particular of allow easy adaptation of the same projector to various ranges or colors of vehicles.
- the present invention proposes a method of manufacturing a projector such as defined in claim 7.
- FIG. 1 we have schematically represented a cache of direct light known, made for example of sheet metal. He understands a part 50 constituting the cache itself, which is in this case of hexagonal and slightly flared section, and which is mounted on a projector mirror using a or several retaining tabs 52, so as to place the part 50 in front of a projector lamp to avoid that light be emitted directly from the lamp towards the lens of the projector and outwards.
- the edge of the cover preferably has a profile such that it obscures quite precisely all the light rays which are not directed to optically useful parts of the mirror, that is to say the rays directed in particular towards the cheeks of the mirror and towards the mirror.
- this cover 50 is as discreet as possible at inside the projector when it is turned off, usually make it as small as possible and a neutral shade, for example gray.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 show a cache of direct light 50 on which a part is mounted 60 forming hubcap intended to modify the aesthetic appearance of the projector when it is turned off, this modification being all the more sensitive as the front glass of the projector, through which room 60 is seen, is slightly deviating, even smooth.
- the hubcap 60 is preferably produced under the shape of a hollow and light body, in painted, enamelled sheet or metallized, or in the form of a hollow body or solid plastic such as a material thermosetting.
- the hubcap 60 is mounted on the cover 50 by providing at least one tab plane 61 extending towards the rear of the projector (towards the left in the figure), and in which is formed a opening 62 through which a crimp tab coming from the cover 50 can be engaged (part 53) and folded against said tongue (part 54).
- the hubcap 60 is provided with at least two diametrically opposite hooking teeth 63 which come anchor behind two counterpart projecting parts 55 from the cache 50.
- the present invention it is possible to manufacture simply a projector having, in particular according to wishes of the car manufacturer, different aspects aesthetic.
- the means of mounting the hubcap on the cover are identical whatever whatever the hubcap model used.
- the projector is equipped with a cover 60 having the shape, the desired shade and appearance.
- FIGS 6 and 7 show the same projector equipped with two different hubcaps.
- the direct light cover 50 is mounted on the bottom of the reflector by two legs 51, 52.
- the projector comprises on the cover 50 an embellishment 60 of generally polyhedral shape, with a point facing forward.
- the shape of the hubcap is domed, for example generally hemispherical.
- the color of the trim can for example match that of the bodywork in the vicinity of the vehicle.
