  • Patent number: 12214715
    Abstract: A function module includes at least one lighting unit and/or at least one sensor unit. The function module also includes a covering panel through which light from the at least one lighting unit emerges from the function module and/or by way of which the detection region of a respective sensor unit extends out of the function module. The function module also includes a first frame and a second frame, with the covering panel being provided on the first frame and the second frame being configured for rigid attachment to the motor vehicle. The first frame is movable from a nominal position relative to the second frame should the action of a force be directed against the frame toward the covering panel from the outside. A returning device is provided in order to return the first frame to the nominal position once the action of the force has ceased.

  • Publication number: 20240159372
    Abstract: A lighting device for a motor vehicle includes one or more first lighting units, each of which is configured to generate a light distribution for a dipped beam function and/or a high beam function, and one or more second lighting units, each of which is configured to generate a light distribution for another lighting function. The first lighting unit(s) and the second lighting unit(s) are all covered by a common outer light panel which is translucent at least in some sections and via which light originating from the first lighting unit(s) and from the second lighting unit(s) exits from the lighting device. Each of the first lighting unit(s) is arranged at a distance from the outer light panel. Each of the second lighting unit(s) is rigidly connected to the outer light panel or is arranged at a distance from the outer light panel.
