  • Patent number: 9200787
    Abstract: A lighting module comprising a light source of the LED type (not visible), a reflector with an elliptical reflective surface and a lens, the module being provided with means of quick-fastening to a mount. These means comprise a flange fitted with tabs (not visible) able to collaborate with corresponding notches of an orifice in the mount. This mounting allows the module to be fitted and removed very easily so that the light source or sources can be replaced, without disturbing the beam alignment. The invention also relates to the mount in question and to a corresponding headlamp.

  • Patent number: 9061628
    Abstract: A vehicle headlight comprising at least one lighting module mounted on a support. The module comprises a base with a mounting surface inclined backward and toward the top of the headlight. The support comprises a corresponding mounting surface. Positioning means with sliders are provided on these surfaces so as to be able to extract the module and fit it by a translational movement in a direction contained within the plane of the mounting surfaces. The housing comprises a removable portion positioned in the extension of the module in the direction of translation of the positioning means with sliders. The wall of the housing comprises precuts on the circumference of the removable portion. This arrangement makes is possible to easily replace a bulky lighting module such as that of a headlight with style functions.

  • Publication number: 20120274462
    Abstract: A luminous signaling module, notably for automobile vehicles, comprising: a reflector; a screen disposed in front of the reflector, with a semi-reflecting area; radiating means adapted to emit light rays. The reflector, the screen and the radiating means being arranged in such a manner as to generate a repetitive visual effect of depth. The semi-reflecting area is configured and arranged relative to the radiating means in such a manner that a second portion of the light rays emitted by radiating means do not encounter the semi-transparent area.

  • Patent number: 7121705
    Abstract: Headlight for a motor vehicle comprising a reflector with an optical axis and at least one focus, a light source placed close to a focus of the reflector, and a transparent optical deviation element placed in front of part of the reflector, this element consisting of a module comprising a so-called “square lens” and the reflector placed behind the said lens, the module being able to provide an essentially horizontal spread of the light. The wall of the reflector comprises at least one scallop on one side of a plane passing through the optical axis of the reflector, and at least one additional reflector is disposed on the side of the scallop opposite to the optical axis, this additional reflector being designed to collect at least some of the light coming from the source emerging from the scallop, and to produce an additional beam which is not intercepted by the lens.
