Abstract

The present invention refers to a process of thermoplastic bonding of two or several elements, particularly at a vehicle, preferably at a motor vehicle. It is provided for according to the invention that onto a first component part (1) a second component part (2) is disposed, wherein each binding projection (3; 3') of the first component part (1) is placed into a corresponding binding cut-out (6; 6') of the second component part (2), and wherein each guiding projection (4; 4') of the first component part (1) is placed into a corresponding guiding cut-out (10; 10') of the second component part (2). Afterwards, the second component part (2) is located by moving thereof in longitudinal and/or transversal direction and/or rotating with regard to the binding projection (3; 3') into a required position with regard to the first component part (1), and thermal energy is entered into the region of the free end of the binding projection (3; 3'), when the second component part is located (2) in the required position with regard to the first component part(1), resulting in softening of the binding projection (3; 3'). Furthermore, compressive force is entered into the softened region of the binding projection (3; 3'), resulting in the softened region of the binding projection (3; 3') to flow and to fill-up the binding cut-out (6; 6') with said softened region of the binding projection (3; 3').The invention refers also to a lamp produced according to said process.

Abstract

Reflector regulation assembly of a motor vehicle light comprises a spindle (9), which is allowed to rotate around its longitudinal axis (90) and is embedded within a passage (52) of a bearing member (51), which is formed as integral part of a light casing (5), wherein said spindle (9) is foreseen for displacing a reflector (1), which is mounted within said casing (5) and may be pivoted around at least one axis of the vehicle light, in particular around the horizontal axis extending transversely to a driving direction. In this, said assembly comprises a sliding member (6), which is on the one hand furnished with a threaded bush (8), which is adapted to cooperate with said spindle (9), and on the other hand with a bolt (61), which is pivotally interconnected with said reflector (1) and is inserted within a tubular guide (7) on the light casing (5), so that by rotating the spindle (9) in each desired direction around its longitudinal axis (90) said sliding member (6) is linearly displaced to and fro along the longitudinal axis (70) of said guide (7), by which consequently the reflector (1), which is embedded within a pivot point (111), is then displaced relatively with respect to the casing (5).

Abstract

A light consists of a lightning module (1) and a complementary module (2). The lightning module (1) comprises a casing (11), which is adapted to receive an appropriate reflector (12) and is closed on the front side by a transparent wall (13), and said complementary module (2) comprises at least a desired light source (251, 252, 253, 254) together with each belonging control and supplying units (23, 25) as well as a casing (20), which is closed on its rear side (22) by means of a cover (24) and comprises a front wall (200), which is faced towards the lightning module (1) and consists of a thermal conductive material, wherein at least one throughout passage (202) is arranged adjacent to said wall (200) and extends at least approximately in the vertical direction. Thanks to such concept and despite to relatively small overall dimensions such light is alternatively applicable both when a classic filament bulb or a set of diodes (251, 252, 253, 254) is used as a light source. At least overall dimensions, which are crucial when bearing in mind mounting such light into each vehicle, remain completely unchanged regardless to each choice of the light source (251, 252, 253, 254). At the same time also the major parts of the lights remain the same despite to said alternative possibilities of using each desired light source (251, 252, 253, 254).

Abstract

The invention refers to a device for control of cornering lights (91, 92) of motor vehicles. The purpose of the invention is to ensure appropriate operation of said cornering lights (91, 92) in accordance with each existing legislation and in particular without any need on mounting additional sensors into the vehicle, by which increasing of expenses are essentially reduced, the need about providing some additional space within the vehicle and also any essentially increasing of the risk of damages may be avoided. To this aim said device comprises a processing unit (3), which is adapted to receive data from the anti-skid unit (4) for preventing vehicle wheels (11, 12, 21, 22) from sliding during braking or acceleration, namely each relevant data about each angular velocity (쳱1) of at least one inward wheel (11) and the angular velocity (쳱2) of at least one outward wheel (12) of a turning vehicle. Said unit (3) is furthermore adapted to determine each difference (ﶴ쳱) between said angular velocities (쳱1, 쳱2) in order to be able to control automatically activation or deactivation of each corresponding cornering light (91, 92) when said difference (ﶴ쳱) between said angular velocities (쳱1, 쳱2) exceeds a pre-determined value and when also each desired pre-determined conditions are fulfilled. The invention also includes a process for control of said cornering lights (91, 92) in accordance with the functional concept of said device.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a headlight for motor vehicles, which comprises an appropriate casing (4), by means of which a so-called surface directing reflector (5) is completely surrounded; said reflector is preferably an oval-shaped one and is capable to withstand a characteristic thermal flux density Pᡶ 0,6 W/cm2 and is moreover furnished with a thin reflecting layer on the basis of aluminium, and wherein said casing also comprises a transparent glass (3) consisting of appropriate material on the basis of minerals or polymers, and also a bulb (1) with integrated filament (2), which is used as a light source and is placed in the central position of said reflector (5). According to the invention, the ratio between the distance of the reflector (5) from the filament (2) of the bulb (1) and the thermal flux density should be greater than 17 mm cm2/W.
