  • Patent number: 11668446
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a motor vehicle's light module for lighting or signaling device purposes and includes at least one light source mounted on a support, an optical unit that engages the light source that forms a light beam and a locating system, which includes at least one locating pin inserted into a locating orifice. The support contains at least one locating pin and the locating orifice while the optical unit has the other locating pin and locating orifice. The locating pins include two facing parts where one of the parts is identified as the rigid part, and the other of the parts is identified as the flexible part, where the one part is more rigid than the other of the two facing parts.

  • Patent number: 10962196
    Abstract: A lighting module for a motor vehicle including: a support plate; at least one source of light which is arranged on a first face of the support plate; a heat dissipater which is arranged on a second face of the support plate, opposite the first face; a fan which is arranged between the heat dissipater and a plenum, the fan being designed to aspirate a flow of hot air which is dissipated by the heat dissipater, and is obtained from an incoming flow of air; a plenum which is designed to cover the fan, the plenum including a peripheral skirt which is designed to surround the heat dissipater; an optical assembly which cooperates with rays of light of the at least one source of light, in order to produce a light beam.

  • Patent number: 10465877
    Abstract: An optical module for a motor vehicle including a light source, a heat sink including a plate having a front face for supporting the light source, and including a rear face spiked with cooling fins, a device for producing an airflow. The heat sink includes at least one vent which passes through the plate of the heat sink in proximity to the light source in order to allow the airflow to circulate longitudinally between the front and the rear of the heat sink.
