  • Patent number: 11530791
    Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle light module comprising: —a part comprising a plurality of light guides, each of said light guides extending between an input diopter of the same guide and an output, the adjacent light guides joining to one another by a material junction; —several light sources arranged opposite the input diopters of all or a portion of the light guides; and—a projection system downstream from the guide outputs that has a focal surface (F) projecting an image of any light ray passing through the focal surface. According to the invention, the light module comprises at least two guides of which the distance (d1) between the focal surface (F) and the junction of said two guides is greater than the distance (d2) between the focal surface (F) and the junction of the other guides.

  • Patent number: 10752159
    Abstract: An optical module, used for lighting and/or signalling purposes for a motor vehicle, includes a support delimiting a compartment for receiving a functional component such as a fan. A clamping element, preferably produced as a single part, can be used to block an opening of the compartment and lock the component in its operational position. The clamping element, separate from the support and provided with two arms, is engaged and clipped on against at least one engaging protrusion formed laterally on the support in order to achieve the locking. An elastic return effect of at least one of the two arms allows the clamping element to be engaged at the rear of the protrusion and held in place. For unlocking, a flexible actuation portion formed in the clamping element can be actuated in order to move one of the two arms outwards and allow unclipping to take place.

  • Patent number: 10288251
    Abstract: A motor vehicle lighting device includes structural elements with a housing, at least one light module accommodated inside the housing, and at least one light source cooperating with an optical surface. The light module is provided with a heat sink, a generator of an air flow, and a single air duct suitable for cooperating with the generator of the air flow such as to direct the generated air flow towards the heat sink of the at least one light module. The air duct is formed by an open part added in the housing, and at least one closing structural element suitable for closing all or part of the added part.
