Problems solved by technology

[0005] A disadvantage of this type of repair device is that the screw is inserted from the top down and therefore the head of the screw is visible when the hood of the vehicle is lifted
This visibility of the screw, which is characteristic of repair devices used on a broken fixing tab, raises concerns that the rest of the optical unit has been at least partially damaged
In addition, this raises concerns that the vehicle has been subjected to a shock causing damage to the optics unit

Embodiment Construction

[0020] In particular, the object of the invention is to provide a repair device DR for fitting on a worn-out optical unit BO that can be fitted on a vehicle.

[0021] A "worn out optical unit" is understood here as an optical unit having at least one fixing tab PF broken, for example due to an impact suffered.

[0022] Furthermore, an "optical unit" is understood here to mean a vehicle device that ensures at least one (lighting, signaling or decorative) lighting function. Thus, the vehicle equipment may be headlights (or headlights).

[0023] In what follows, as a non-limiting example, it is considered that the optical unit BO is intended to be fitted on a vehicle of motor type, such as a passenger car. But the invention is not limited to this type of vehicle. In fact, the invention relates to any type of vehicle comprising at least one optical unit.

[0024] figure 1 An example of an optical unit BO with an undamaged fixing tab PF is schematically shown on . Note that th...

Abstract

The invention relates to a service device (DR) fitted on an optical unit (BO) intended to be fitted on a vehicle and comprising a housing (BB) comprising fixing tabs (PF), Said fixing tab comprises only a first portion (P11) equipped with a first hole (T1). The device (DR) comprises a part (PR) comprising a main part (PP) integral with the vehicle and extending from a first (P21) and a second wall (P21) spaced apart ( P22), said first wall and said second wall are disposed opposite to a rear surface (FR) and a front surface (FV) of said first portion (P11 ), respectively. Said first wall (P21) comprises a weakened zone (Z2) adjacent to said main part (PP) and a second hole (T2), said second hole being placed in an associated first hole (T1) in front to allow the passage of the screws (VS) enabling the integration of said part (PR) with said first part (P11). Said second wall (P22) shields the front surface (FV) of said first part (P11) and the end of each screw (VS).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a vehicle optics unit comprising a housing equipped with at least one fastening lug. Background technique [0002] The optical unit of some vehicles (usually of the motorized type) comprises a housing comprising at least one fixing lug equipped with (fixedly integral with said housing) a first A portion, a second portion capable of being fixedly integrated with the vehicle, and a weakened area between the first portion and the second portion, the weakened area capable of forming a gap between the first portion and the second portion Part breaks on impact. [0003] As this weakened area fractures upon impact, it can happen that the rest of the optical unit is not damaged. In this case, the optical unit is reusable by coupling the service means to the first part of the fixing lug of the housing, said first part comprising at least one hole provided for this purpose with an internal thread. [0004] The known servicing device c...
