Abstract
The invention relates to a luminous motor-vehicle module including at least one light source, an open casing, and a closing element for closing said open casing. The open casing includes a housing for positioning on an optical element, the positioning housing includes a plurality of grooves, and a tab for hooking on a casing of said motor vehicle comprising the optical element and an outer lens for closing the casing, the luminous module being configured to make a rotation and hook, at the end of the rotation, onto the casing via said hooking tab of the open casing.
Claims15
A luminous motor-vehicle module comprising:
- at least one light source,
- an open casing having the at least one light source positioned therein, and
- a closing element for closing said open casing to contain the at least one light source therein, wherein said open casing comprises a positioning housing for positioning the open casing on an end of an elongated optical element to receive light from the at least one light source, said positioning housing comprising a plurality of grooves, and a hooking tab for hooking the luminous motor-vehicle module on a lamp casing of said motor vehicle, said lamp casing comprising an optical element holder configured to hold a portion of said elongated optical element and an outer lens for closing said lamp casing to contain the portion of the elongated optical element therein, said luminous motor-vehicle module being configured to make a rotation engagement with the lamp casing by rotation of the luminous motor vehicle module about an axis of the end of the elongated optical element such that, at an end of rotation travel, the hooking tab hooks onto said lamp casing.
A motor-vehicle lamp casing comprising:
- an elongated optical element having a light input end,
- an optical-element holder configured to hold a portion of the elongated optical element,
- an outer lens formed from an outer-lens holder and from a transparent optical part,
- a hooking bracket configured to engage a hooking tab of a luminous module which contains the end of the elongated optical element therein, said hooking bracket being secured to said optical-element holder or to said outer-lens holder, and
- a rotation engagement configured to make a rotation engagement with the luminous module by rotation of the luminous module about an axis of the end of the elongated optical element such that, at an end of the rotation travel, the lamp casing is rotationally engaged with the luminous module and the hooking bracket is engaged with a hooking tab of the luminous module.
