Abstract: Ambient lighting system (3) for motorcars (2) comprising: an optical system (4) comprising: RGB LED light sources (41); a structural support (40) on which said light sources (41) are placed; a diffusive module (42) adapted to diffuse light rays. The ambient lighting system (3) comprising a capacitive touch sensor (6), the latter being locally integrated in the ambient lighting system (3); and light guide modules (43), interposed between the light sources (41) and said diffusive module (42), and being adapted to guide light rays emitted by the light sources (41) and being designed to isolate the light rays emitted by each light guide module (43), in order to realize sectors (C) adapted to be illuminated with sharp contrast with the rest of the ambient lighting system (3), defining the position of at least one soft button (B), the latter being realized by means of the capacitive touch sensor (6).

Abstract: A light guide for a lamp of an automobile includes at least one body made of elastic material adapted to conduct, at least partly, light rays within itself by total internal reflection; a supporting structure adapted to connect the at least one body to the lamp. The body comprises: at least one light inlet portion, from which the light rays emitted by at least one light source enter the body; a plurality of light emission portions, from which the light rays exit the light guide, so as to be visible to an observer. The light guide comprises at least two connection elements adapted to permit fastening the body to the supporting structure. The body includes at least one pliable portion between the at least two connection elements so that the body can be bent and/or curved to take a plurality of different conformations.

Abstract: An optical device for a motorcar capable of generating three-dimensional optical and/or visual effects. The optical device comprises: a plurality of light sources, each one adapted to emit a light beam in a predetermined direction; a supporting element whereon the light sources are mechanically and electrically connected; and at least one optical module, which is adapted to be crossed by a light beam to emit light presenting a three-dimensional optical effect. The plurality of light sources include a plurality of micro-LEDs. The optical module include at least one layer of diffractive material. The optical module is arranged substantially parallel to the supporting element whereon the micro-LEDs lie. The optical module is arranged substantially perpendicular to the light beams emitted by the micro-LEDs.

Abstract: A lamp assembly for a motor vehicle comprises a light source and a light guide, which includes a diffuser body having a diffuser inlet and a light emission portion. The diffuser body is configured to conduct light rays from the diffuser inlet to the light emission portion, so as to be visible to an observer. The light guide also includes an extension with a light collector configured to collect rays emitted by the light source, a coupling portion, and a guide body configured to conduct light rays between the light collector and the coupling portion. The coupling portion is optically coupled to the light inlet portion of the diffuser body for transmitting the light rays from the extension into the diffuser body. The diffuser body is made of a material with high light diffusion properties and the extension is made of material with relatively poor light diffusion properties.

Abstract: An integrated element (1) for the illumination of a number plate (101) and for the opening of a door (100) of a vehicle includes an extended body that acts as an opening handle of the door (100) and can be grasped by a user; and a plurality of illumination lights (6) of the number plate (101), housed within the body. The integrated element (1) includes a plastic module (5), inserted within the extended body and integrating: an opening electric element (7) of the door and the plurality of illumination lights (6). The lights possess an operating life duration higher than the expected mean-life of the vehicle.

Abstract: A switch (1) for roof lights (2) has: a supporting frame (3); a push-button (7) slidably mounted on the frame (3); a printed circuit, which is associated to the frame (3) and defines two operative positions for a lamp-bulb; and an actuator (13), which is set between the push-button (7) and the printed circuit (8) and is moved by the push-button (7) between the two operative positions; the actuator (13) being provided with a rolling element (18), which can roll on the printed circuit (8) between the two operative positions, and an motion-imparting arm (15), which supports the rolling element (18) and is actuated by the push-button (7) for moving the rolling element (18) itself between the operative positions.

Abstract: Described herein is a device (1) for installing sets of lights (1a) on a vehicle body, the device (1) being provided with a bracket (5) fixed to the set of lights (1a), a snap-action fastener (6) slidably coupled to the bracket (5), and a spring (7), set between the bracket (5) and the snap-action fastener (6) to exert a force of assembly between the snap-action fastener (6) and the bracket (5); a pre-assembly mechanism (30) being set between the snap-action fastener (6) and the bracket (5) for clamping the snap-action fastener (6) in a pre-assembly position, in which the spring (7) exerts a force of pre-assembly having a value greater than the value of the force of assembly, the pre-assembly mechanism (30) being mechanically deactivatable upon assembly of the snap-action fastener (6).
