  • Motor vehicle headlamp lighting module with mutual positioning of reflector and lens
    Patent number: 10060588
    Abstract: A lighting module for a motor vehicle. The lighting module has least one light source; a heat sink; a reflective surface able to reflect the rays from the light source or sources; a lens that deflects the rays from the reflective surface so as to form a beam of light along an optical axis of the module; and a support of the lens and of the reflective surface, the support being mounted on the heat sink. The heat sink and/or the support comprises at least one boss that maintains a predetermined distance between the heat sink and the support.

  • MOTOR VEHICLE HEADLAMP LIGHTING MODULE WITH MUTUAL POSITIONING OF REFLECTOR AND LENS
    Publication number: 20150377439
    Abstract: A lighting module for a motor vehicle, comprising at least one light source; a heat sink able to dissipate the heat produced by the light source or sources; a reflective surface able to reflect the rays from the light source or sources; a lens able to deflect the rays from the reflective surface so as to form a beam of light along an optical axis of the module; a support of the lens and of the reflective surface, the support being mounted on the heat sink. The heat sink and/or the support comprises at least one, and preferably at least two, bosses directed vertically and in contact with the other out of the heat sink and the support so as to maintain a predetermined distance between the heat sink and the support.
