  • Patent number: 11846399
    Abstract: The invention includes a lighting device with a signaling module that can move in at least a first direction and a lighting module that can move in a second direction different from the first direction. The movable lighting module being able to take a position that is invisible and a position that is visible from outside the lighting device. The lighting device further including a controller designed to control a movement of the lighting module such that: in a first mode, called daytime mode, the lighting module assumes the invisible position; in a second mode, called nighttime mode, the lighting module assumes the visible position. The controller moves of the signaling module such that at least one part of the signaling module moves in the first direction in order to authorize a movement of the lighting module in the second direction from the invisible position to the visible position.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10139087
    Abstract: A lighting device for an automotive vehicle includes a printed circuit board having one or more electronic components, and a support joined, or capable of being joined, to the printed circuit board. The lighting device included a first joining device for joining the printed circuit board to the support, the first device permitting the printed circuit board to rotate, with respect to the support, about an axis and perpendicularly to the axis. Also included is second joining device for joining the printed circuit board to the support, located at a distance from the first joining device and capable of blocking the rotations of the printed circuit board with respect to the support, in an assembled configuration of the printed circuit board and the support.
