Abstract
A device for emitting a light beam, comprising a lens and means for producing a cut-off line in the beam, said device being configured to allow a position of the cut-off line to be adjusted in a given direction, especially vertically, depending on an angular position of the lens about a hinge axis, the lens comprising what is called an optical part for transmission of the beam the and a part that hinges in rotation about said hinge axis, said hinge part and said optical part being made of an integral piece of material. The invention also relates to a light, especially for an automotive vehicle, comprising said emitting device.
Claims22
A device for emitting a light beam, comprising a lens and means for producing a cut-off line in the light beam, said device being configured to allow a position of said cut-off line to be adjusted in a given direction, especially vertically, depending on an angular position of said lens about a hinge axis, said lens comprising an optical part for transmission of the light beam and a hinge part that hinges in rotation about said hinge axis, said hinge part and said optical part being made of an integral single piece of material.
A light, especially for an automotive vehicle, comprising a device for emitting a light beam, comprising a lens and means for producing a cut-off line in the light beam, said device being configured to allow a position of said cut-off line to be adjusted in a given direction, especially vertically, depending on an angular position of said lens about a hinge axis, said lens comprising an optical part for transmission of the light beam and a hinge part that hinges in rotation about said hinge axis, said hinge part and said optical part being made of an integral single piece of material;
- in which said light source is a light-emitting diode;
- said device further comprising a fixed holder for holding said lens, said fixed holder comprising arms for the hinging of said lens in rotation.
A light, especially for an automotive vehicle, comprising a device for emitting a light beam, comprising a lens and means for producing a cut-off line in the light beam, said device being configured to allow a position of said cut-off line to be adjusted in a given direction, especially vertically, depending on an angular position of said lens about a hinge axis, said lens comprising an optical part for transmission of the light beam and a hinge part that hinges in rotation about said hinge axis, said hinge part and said optical part being made of an integral single piece of material;
- in which said lens has a focal point at said light source;
- said device further comprising a fixed holder for holding said lens, said fixed holder comprising arms for the hinging of said lens in rotation.
A light, especially for an automotive vehicle, comprising a device for emitting a light beam, comprising a lens and means for producing a cut-off line in the light beam, said device being configured to allow a position of said cut-off line to be adjusted in a given direction, especially vertically, depending on an angular position of said lens about a hinge axis, said lens comprising an optical part for transmission of the light beam and a hinge part that hinges in rotation about said hinge axis, said hinge part and said optical part being made of an integral single piece of material, in which a fixed holder comprises an electronic control board through which hinge arms extend radially towards said hinge axis, said electronic control board being radially offset relative to said light.
