  • Publication number: 20130224400
    Abstract: An apparatus for treating an object, for example an object made of polymer for a light or headlamp of an automotive vehicle, comprises a vacuum chamber in which the object is intended to be placed; means for placing the chamber under vacuum; and ion bombardment means intended for treating the object, comprising an ion generator and at least one ion applicator intended to emit an ion beam. This apparatus comprises, in addition: a first airlock; means for selectively placing the vacuum chamber in communication with the first airlock and means for placing the first airlock under vacuum. The ion bombardment means are arranged outside of the vacuum chamber. The ion applicator is housed in the first airlock.

  • Patent number: 7018056
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method of producing a lighting or signalling device comprising a light source (16), a reflector (14) reflecting the light rays emitted by the light source (16) towards a lens (18) so as to form along an optical axis (A—A) alighting or signalling beam, the lens (18) comprising a peripheral flange (24) and being held by a support (20), the support (20) comprising an annular surface (26, 26?) limited at its external periphery by a cylindrical rim (28, 34). According to the present invention, the method comprises the step consisting of deforming the cylindrical rim (28, 34) in the direction of the annular surface (26, 26?) in order to envelop the peripheral flange (24) of the lens (18) and hold it in place without play and without requiring an additional component, this deformation of the cylindrical rim (28, 34) being performed by applying on this rim a force parallel to the optical axis (A—A) of the lighting or signalling device.
