Abstract
The invention relates to a luminous module of a motor vehicle, including a first assembly configured to perform a lighting function with a plurality of first components, and a second assembly configured to perform a signaling function with a plurality of second components. The plurality of second components and the plurality of first components have at least one component in common, making it possible to enhance the compactness of the luminous module.
Claims14
A luminous module of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a first assembly configured to perform a lighting function, and including a plurality of first components, the first components including at least:
- a first light source capable of emitting a first light beam;
- a support for the first light source;
- a reflector capable of reflecting the first light beam, with the reflector having a first surface and a second surface that is opposite the first surface;
- and
- an optical system capable of projecting the reflected first light beam outside the luminous module;
- a second assembly configured to perform a signalling function, and including a plurality of second components, the plurality of second components including at least:
- a second light source capable of emitting a second light beam;
- a third light source capable of emitting a third light beam;
- two light guides, each configured to guide the second light beam or the third light beam and arranged on either side of the optical system of the first assembly;
- wherein the reflector includes a first reflective surface capable of reflecting the first light beam and a second reflective surface arranged opposite one of the light guides of the second assembly, and wherein the support for the first light source includes a third reflective surface opposite the other light guide of the second assembly, with the first reflective surface being on the first surface and the second reflective surface being on the second surface, and
- wherein the plurality of second components and the plurality of first components have at least two components in common, with one of the at least two components in common includes the reflector or the support for the first light source.
