  • Patent number: 9927083
    Abstract: A lighting device for a motor vehicle, comprising a housing in which are arranged at least light-emitting means and optical-deflection means able to deflect the rays of light emitted toward an output face of the device, the device further comprising a main orifice formed in the housing for extracting the light-emitting means from the housing along a first axis. Fastening means are provided for fastening the emitting means in the device and the housing comprises an additional axis, distinct from the main orifice, for accessing the fastening means. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle headlamp equipped with at least one device of this type, and to a method of repositioning replacement means in a lighting device.

  • Patent number: 9766393
    Abstract: A light module comprising a means for supporting at least one collector of light rays in the vicinity of which there is a light guide suitable for guiding the rays emitted by a light source from an input face to at least two distinct and adjacent output faces. A distinction is made between a main output face, through which the rays pass in a first direction, and at least one additional output face which is oriented such that the light rays leaving the guide through this additional output face are directed toward the collector, in a second direction distinct from the first direction.

  • 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.
