Abstract
Lighting module for a motor vehicle including an optical means that is fixedly mounted in the lighting module and has a base with a first housing. Also included is a carrier of the optical means, which is movable with respect to the optical means about an axis of rotation. The carrier of the optical means has a base with a second housing. The carrier of the optical means is able to take a closed position in which at least one light source is held partially in first housing and partially in the second housing, an open position in which said at least one light source may be removed from the lighting module, the at least one light source is removable and has light-emitting means and a mechanical carrier of the light-emitting means.
Claims20
A lighting module for a motor vehicle, said lighting module comprising:
- an optical device configured to interact with light to form light rays, the optical device being fixedly mounted in the lighting module, said optical device comprising a base with a first housing;
- an optical device carrier configured to carry the optical device, which is movable with respect to the optical device about a single axis of rotation, said optical device carrier comprising a base with a second housing, said optical device carrier being configured to move between a closed position and an open position, wherein
- in the closed position at least one light source is held partially in said first housing and partially in said second housing, and
- in the open position said at least one light source may be removed from the lighting module;
- and
- said at least one light source being removable and comprising:
- a semiconductor light-emitting chip configured to emit light;
- a mechanical carrier configured to carry the semiconductor light-emitting chip.
