Abstract

The invention is based upon the problem of how to design a fog lamp or a similar lamp for motor vehicles where a unified light module should be installed preferentially into an invariable casing but generally into a casing adapted to be fixed on a suitable location in a vehicle or to a vehicle component. Considering accessibility to different kinds of vehicles in any conditions, the possibility of adjustment of the position of the light module should be assured with regard to the position of the lamp casing. The lamp for motor vehicles, especially the fog lamp, consists of the casing (1) and the light module (2) which can be inserted into the former. A rollable gasket (3) designed as an O-ring is provided for installation between the casing (1) and the light module (2). The casing (1) is equipped with fixing ears (11) or similar elements intended for fixing the lamp on an each time suitable location on the vehicle and with two diametrally opposite bearing ears (12', 12''). The light module (2) is equipped with a tubularly designed ring (24) located on the backside or end of the casing (1) and comprises two bearing pins (21', 21'') which are lying diametrally opposite to each other and can be inserted into the mentioned bearing ears (12', 12'') of the casing (1), while the pins and the ears are lying on the very same axis (10). The ring (24) of the light module (2), running on the backside of the casing (1), is toothed on at least one side. A setting assembly (14) intended for inclining the light module (2) to the casing (1) around the axis (10) - the axis running through the bearing ears (12', 12'') of the casing (1) and the bearing pins (21', 21'') of the light module (2) - is provided for installation on any location of the lamp perimeter, chosen in advance, which is lying outside the installation area of the bearing ears (12', 12'') of the casing (1) and the bearing pins (21', 21'') of the light module (2).

Description

Svetilo za motorna vozila, zlasti meglenkaMotor vehicle light, especially fog lamp

Izum spada na področje prometa, namreč vozil, natančneje na področje svetlobne opreme vozil, še zlasti vgradnje meglenk v vozila.The invention relates to the field of transport, namely vehicles, and more specifically to the field of vehicle lighting, in particular the installation of fog lights in vehicles.

Pri tem izum temelji na problemu, kako meglenko ali podobno svetilo za motoma vozila, pri katerem bi bilo mogoče prednostno sicer nespremenljivo, v splošnem pa pritrditvi na ustrezno lokacijo v vozilu ali sestavnem delu vozila prirejeno ohišje vgrajevati unificiran svetlobni modul, pri čemer pa bi bila v vsakovrstnih pogojih upoštevajoč dostopnost pri raznovrstnih vozilih zagotovljena možnost nastavitve položaja svetlobnega modula glede na položaj ohišja svetila.The invention is based on the problem of how a fog lamp or similar illumination lamp for a vehicle moto, which could be preferably otherwise immutable, and in general, by attaching a unified light module to a suitable housing in a vehicle or component of the vehicle, in which case under all conditions, taking into account the accessibility of the various vehicles, the possibility of adjusting the position of the light module according to the position of the lamp housing is ensured.

Znano je, da so motoma vozila opremljena s svetili, in da je pri vgradnji slednji h potrebno upoštevati vsaj tri aspekte. Prvi je ta, da mora vgrajeno svetilo izpolnjevati optične zahteve, torej zagotavljati ustrezno osvetljenost natančno določenega območja v okolici vozila. Drugi aspekt je ta, da mora vsaj navzven viden del svetila izpolnjevati tudi oblikovalske zahteve in mora biti usklajen z obliko vozila, v katerega je vgrajeno. Tretji aspekt je čisto konstrukcijske narave in se nanaša na samo vgradnjo svetila v vozilo, ki mora biti po eni strani zanesljiva, po drugi strani pa mora omogočati tudi pravilno pozicioniranje svetila zaradi možnosti zagotavljanja uvodoma omenjenih optičnih karakteristik.It is known that the moto vehicles are equipped with lights and that at least three aspects must be taken into account when installing the latter. The first is that the built-in lamp must meet the optical requirements, thus providing adequate illumination of a specific area in the vicinity of the vehicle. The second aspect is that the at least visible part of the lamp must also meet the design requirements and must be compatible with the shape of the vehicle in which it is installed. The third aspect is purely structural in nature and relates to the installation of the lamp itself in a vehicle, which, on the one hand, must be reliable and, on the other, must allow for the correct positioning of the lamp in order to be able to provide the optical characteristics mentioned above.

Po eni strani je določen del svetlobne opreme vozila, kot npr. prednji žarometi ter zadnje luči, vsaj kadar obsegajo v taistem ohišju nameščene pozicijske luči in zavorne luči, tekorekoč neobhodno oblikovan in realizirano strogo namensko za določen tip vozila. Po drugi strani pa je določen del svetlobne opreme vozil, zlasti luči za vožnjo v megli, tkzv. meglenke, dodatne zavorne luči, dodatne pozicijske luči, dodatne luči za vzvratno vožnjo in podobno, načelno mogoče unificirati oz. jih zasnovati na ta način, daje taisto svetilo primemo za vgradnjo v različne tipe vozil in celo v različne sestavne dele vozil. Pri tem je mišljeno, da je npr. mogoče meglenko s določenimi optičnimi lastnostmi in določene oblike njenih navzven vidnih območij vgraditi v vozila različnih proizvajalcev in celo v različne sestavne dele vozil, npr. bodisi v odbijač, blatnik, spoiler ali podobno. Kar je s tem v zvezi praviloma problematično, je pozicioniranje svetila zaradi zagotavljanja optičnih karakteristik v vozilu vgrajenega svetila glede na položaj vozila na podlagi. Sama unifikacija tovrstnih svetil je vsekakor izjemno racionalen ukrep, ki v primerjavi z izdelavo strogo namenskih svetil za posamezne vrste vozil nudi vrsto bistvenih prednosti, še zlasti npr. znižanje stroškov izdelave zaradi bistveno večjih količin, neprimerno lažje in cenejše servisiranje vozil zaradi bistveno boljše razpoložljivosti oz. dosegljivosti rezervnih delov ob zmanjšanju zalog in podobno. Vendar pa je poenotenje svetil povezano z doslej nerešenim problemom zagotovitve konstrukcijskega načina vgradnje svetila na vsakokrat razpoložljivo lokacijo na vozilu ter temu sledečega pozicioniranja, ki bi pri vsakovrstnih vozilih sploh omogočalo doseganje ustreznih oz. zahtevanih optičnih lastnosti. Svetila so namreč pri vozilih različnih proizvahjalcev vgrajena na različne načine. Določeni proizvajalci npr. vgrajujejo meglenke v blatnike, drugi v odbijače, spet tretji v spojlerje. Pri vozilih določenih proizvajalcev se pozicioniranje vrši z zunanje strani vozila, pri drugih z notranje strani in podobno. Glede na raznovrstnost vozil je upoštevajoč optične lastnosti v vsakokratno vozilo vgrajenih svetil - treba računati z raznovrstnimi načini vgradnje svetil, namreč z raznovrstno konfiguracijo lokacij za vgradnjo svetil in z raznovrstno dostopnostjo do teh lokacij zaradi same vgradnje in pozicioniranja svetila.On the one hand, a certain part of the vehicle's lighting equipment, such as headlamps and taillights, at least when they include position lights and brake lights installed in the same housing, almost necessarily designed and realized strictly for a specific type of vehicle. On the other hand, a certain part of the lighting equipment of vehicles, in particular fog lights, the so-called. fog lights, additional brake lights, additional position lights, additional reversing lights and the like, in principle can be unified or. to design them in such a way that this lamp is suitable for installation in different types of vehicles and even in different components of vehicles. It is intended, for example, that e.g. it is possible to install a fog lamp with certain optical properties and certain shapes of its outwardly visible areas in vehicles of different manufacturers and even in different vehicle components, e.g. whether in the bumper, fender, spoiler or the like. As a rule, this is a problematic positioning of the lamp in order to provide optical characteristics in the vehicle of the installed lamp with respect to the position of the vehicle on the ground. The unification of these types of lamps is certainly an extremely rational measure, which offers a number of significant advantages over the production of strictly dedicated lamps for individual types of vehicles, in particular, for example. Reduction of production costs due to significantly larger quantities, inappropriately easier and cheaper servicing of vehicles due to significantly better availability or availability. availability of spare parts while reducing inventory and the like. However, the unification of the lamps is connected with the unresolved problem of providing a structural method of mounting the lamp at each available location on the vehicle, and the subsequent positioning, which would in any way make it possible to achieve appropriate or. required optical properties. There are different ways of installing lamps in different manufacturers' vehicles. Certain manufacturers e.g. they incorporate fog lights into fenders, others into bumpers, again third into spoilers. For vehicles of certain manufacturers, positioning is performed from the outside of the vehicle, others from the inside and the like. Considering the variety of vehicles, taking into account the optical characteristics of the vehicle of the built-in lamps, it is necessary to account for the various ways of installation of the lamps, namely with the various configuration of locations for the installation of lamps and with the various accessibility to these locations due to the installation and positioning of the lamp.

Tako je iz EP 0 466 034 Al (Carello S.p. A., IT) znano svetilo, ki je predvideno za vgradnjo v ustrezno vdolbino, ki mora biti v ta namen vnaprej pripravljena v prednjem odbijaču vozila. Svetilo je opremljeno z okvirom in zasnovano na ta način, daje po vgradnji okvir potisnjen v ravnino odbijača, za potrebe zamenjave, popravila ali vzdrževanja pa je mogoče okvir kasneje do določene mere tudi izvleči ter s tem omogočiti zasuk svetila zaradi npr. zamenjave žarnice ali zamenjave celotnega svetila ali podobnih ukrepov. Tovrstna rešitev se v splošnem ne ukvarja s pozicioniranjeni svetila in ne omogoča rešitve uvodoma zastavljenega problema.Thus, EP 0 466 034 Al (Carello S.p.A., IT) discloses a lamp intended to be fitted in a suitable recess which must be prepared in advance in the front bumper of the vehicle. The luminaire is equipped with a frame and is designed in such a way that, after installation, the frame is pushed into the bumper plane, and for the purposes of replacement, repair or maintenance, the frame may later be pulled out to a certain extent, thereby allowing the lamp to rotate due to e.g. replacement of the lamp or replacement of the whole lamp or similar measures. Such a solution does not generally deal with the positioning of the luminaire and does not provide a solution to the problem posed initially.

Po drugi strani je npr. iz US 4,731,713 (Robert Bosch GmbH; DE) znana meglenka, za katero so značilne predvsem optične karakteristike predvidoma v ohišje vgradljivega svetlobnega modula (spodnji del prečnega prereza je paraboloiden, zgornji del pa eliptičen, pri čemer sta goriščna razdalja in gorišče obeh delov skupna), hkrati pa je svetilo opremljeno s soosno v prečni smeri svetila vsaksebi štrlečima ležiščnima nastavkoma, ki omogočata pozicioniranje svetila v smislu nagibanja le-tega glede na njegovo horizontalno ravnino. Slednje lahko pomeni, da je mogoče med vgradnjo v vsakokrat razpoložljivo vozilo tovrstno svetilo nastaviti po višini. Kot je prijavitelju znano, se to doseže s privijanjem štirih vijakov. Dasiravno že ta ukrep lahko pomeni nekoliko širše možnosti vgradnje glede na raznovrstnost vozil v primerjavi s pred tem citirano rešitvijo, je treba vendarle ugotoviti, da - upoštevajoč raznovrstnost možnih lokacij in dostopov do pritrdilnih mest pri raznovrstnih vozilih - uvodoma zastavljeni problem s tem še zdaleč ni rešen.On the other hand, e.g. from U.S. Pat. No. 4,731,713 (Robert Bosch GmbH; DE) a known fog, characterized primarily by optical characteristics, presumably in the housing of the built-in light module (the lower section is paraboloid and the upper part is elliptical, with focal length and focal point being common) , at the same time the lamp is provided with a coaxially in the transverse direction of the luminaire with protruding lugs which allow positioning of the luminaire in terms of its inclination with respect to its horizontal plane. The latter may mean that this type of lamp can be adjusted in height when fitted to the vehicle at any time. As is known to the applicant, this is achieved by tightening four screws. Already, this measure may mean slightly wider installation possibilities in terms of vehicle diversity compared to the solution previously cited, but it should be noted that - given the variety of possible locations and access points to mounting points for diversified vehicles - this is not a problem at the outset. resolved.

Po izumu svetilo za motoma vozila, zlasti meglenka, sestoji iz ohišja kot tudi iz v slednje vstavljivega svetlobnega modula, v stroki neredko poimenovanega tudi žaromet ali svetilna enota. Ohišje je opremljeno s pritrdilnimi ušesi ali podobnimi elementi za pritrditev svetila na vsakokrat ustrezno lokacijo na vozilu kot tudi z diametralno nasproti razporejenima ležiščnima ušesoma. Svetlobni modul je opremljen z v smeri nazaj oz. vstran od ohišja segajočim cevasto zasnovanim vencem in obsega dva diametralno nasproti razporejena in vsaksebi štrleča ter v omenjeni ležiščni ušesi ohišja v taisti osi namestljiva ležiščna nastavka. Med ohišjem in svetlobnim modulom je predvideno kot O-obroč zasnovano kotalčno tesnilo. Pri svetilu po izumu je v smeri vstran od ohišja potekajoč venec svetlobnega modula vsaj enostransko ozobljen in daje na eni lokaciji oboda svetila izven območja namestitve ležiščnih ušes ohišja in ležiščnih nastavkov svetlobnega modula predviden regulacijski sklop za nagibanje svetlobnega modula glede na ohišje okoli osi, potekajoče skozi ležiščni ušesi ohišja in ležiščna nastavka svetlobnega modula. Zlasti je ugodno, če je v smeri vstran od ohišja potekajoč venec svetlobnega modula na svoji notranji površini ozobljen oz. opremljen z vzdolžno potekajočimi zobci, in da regulacijski sklop sestoji vsaj iz regulacijskega vijaka, regulacijske matice in zaskočnega nastavka, ki v naleganju na vencu svetlobnega modula in zaskočen za zaskočno stopnico omenjenega venca sledi medsebojnemu premikanju regulacijskega vijaka in regulacijske matice. Zlasti je ugodno, če sta na vencu svetlobnega modula, prednostno na njegovi cilindrični notranji površini, diametralno nasproti nahajajoči se ozobljeni območji razporejeni simetrično glede na os, potekajočo skozi ležiščni ušesi ohišja in ležiščna nastavka svetlobnega modula, kot tudi glede na os, ki je pravokotna na prej omenjeno os, kot tudi, če omenjeni ozobljeni območji pokrivata vsaj približno tretjino oboda venca in sta pri tem razporejeni simetrično glede na os, ki poteka skozi ležiščni ušesi ohišja in ležiščna nastavka svetlobnega modula, kot tudi glede na os, ki je pravokotna na prej omenjeno os. Pri prednostni izvedbi svetila je v smeri vstran od ohišja potekajoč venec svetlobnega modula na svoji notranji površini, in sicer v območjih izven območja namestitve ležiščnih ušes ohišja in ležiščnih nastavkov svetlobnega modula opremljen z vzdolžno potekajočimi zobci, pri čemer je vsaj en zaskočni nastavek, nalegajoč v vrzeli med vsakokrat sosednjima zobcema in zaskočen za zaskočno stopnico venca svetlobnega modula togo povezan z regulacijsko matico, ki sodeluje z regulacijskim vijakom, ki je okoli svoje vzdolžne osi zasukljivo a v svoji osni smeri nepremakljivo nameščen v ležišču, ki je togo povezano z ohišjem svetila. Pri tem je regulacijski vijak razporejen bodisi vzporedno glede na vzdolžno os ohišja in tudi vsaj v bistvu vzporedno glede na vzdolžno os svetlobnega modula ali poševno pod vnaprej določenim kotom glede na vzdolžno os ohišja. Sam regulacijski sklop svetila je upoštevajoč vse prej navedene značilnosti svetila po izumu lahko tako zasnovan, da je vsaj en zaskočni nastavek, nalegajoč v vrzeli med vsakokrat sosednjima zobcema in zaskočen za zaskočno stopnico venca svetlobnega modula, togo povezan z regulacijsko matico, ki sodeluje z regulacijskim vijakom, ki je okoli svoje vzdolžne osi zasukljivo a v svoji osni smeri nepremakljivo nameščen v ležišču, ki je togo povezano z ohišjem svetila, pri čemer je regulacijski vijak razporejen bodisi vzporedno glede na vzdolžno os ohišja ali poševno pod vnaprej določenim kotom glede na vzdolžno os ohišja. Taka izvedba regulacijskega sklopa omogoča pozicioniranje svetlobnega modula v smeri od ohišja proti svetlobnemu modulu oz. pri svetilu, kije vgrajeno v vozilu, običajno torej z zunanje strani.According to the invention, the vehicle moto light, in particular the fog lamp, consists of a housing as well as a light module inserted into the latter, often referred to in the art as a headlamp or light unit. The housing shall be fitted with fixing ears or similar elements for attaching the lamp to the appropriate location on the vehicle at each time, as well as to the diametrically opposite facing ears. The light module is equipped with a backwards or rearward direction. apart from the housing by a tubular projection extending beyond the housing and comprising two diametrically opposed projections and projecting projections, and in the said axial housing of the housing in the same axis, adjustable bearing attachments. Between the housing and the light module is designed as an O-ring-shaped rolling seal. In the light according to the invention, the direction of the light module extends at least one-toothed in the direction away from the housing and at one location provides a control unit for tilting the light module relative to the housing about the axis passing through the axis of the light module outside the installation area of the light module housing and mounting extensions. the housing housings of the housing and the mounting brackets of the light module. It is particularly advantageous if the running module of the light module on its inner surface is toothed or not. fitted with longitudinally extending teeth, and that the control assembly consists of at least a control screw, a control nut and a snap-in attachment, which, in contact with the latch of the light module and locked behind the locking step of said wreath, follows the mutual movement of the control screw and the control nut. It is particularly advantageous if, on the rim of the light module, preferably on its cylindrical inner surface, the diametrically opposite teeth are arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis passing through the housing ears of the housing and the bearing mountings of the light module, as well as with respect to the axis perpendicular to the aforementioned axis, as well as if said toothed areas cover at least about a third of the circumference of the rim, and are arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis passing through the housing ears of the housing and the mounting brackets of the light module, as well as with respect to an axis perpendicular to the aforementioned axis. In a preferred embodiment of the luminaire, a running module of the light module on its inner surface is provided in the direction away from the housing, and in the areas outside the installation area of the housing ears of the housing and the lugs of the light module is provided with longitudinally extending teeth, the gap between the adjacent teeth and the latch of the light module latch firmly connected to the control nut, which cooperates with a control screw which is rotatably pivoted about its longitudinal axis in its axial direction in a bearing rigidly connected to the lamp housing. The control screw is arranged either parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing and also at least substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the light module or obliquely at a predetermined angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the housing. The light control assembly itself can be designed, taking into account all the above-mentioned characteristics of the light according to the invention, so that at least one snap-in attachment, located in the gap between the adjacent teeth and locked behind the latch step of the light module, is rigidly connected to the control nut which cooperates with the control a screw which is pivotably mounted about its longitudinal axis in its axial direction in a bed rigidly connected to the lamp housing, the adjusting screw being arranged either parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing or obliquely at a predetermined angle to the longitudinal axis of the housing . Such an arrangement of the control assembly enables the positioning of the light module in the direction from the housing to the light module or. in the case of the lamp fitted to the vehicle, usually from the outside.

V alternativni izvedbi je regulacijski sklop tako zasnovan, daje zaskočni nastavek, nalegajoč na ozobljeni površini venca svetlobnega modula in zaskočen za zaskočno stopnico, togo povezan z ležiščem v slednjem sicer zasukljivega, vendar v svoji osni smeri nepremakljivega regulacijskega vijaka, ki sodeluje z regulacijsko matico, ki je togo povezana z ohijšem svetila. Taka izvedba regulacijskega sklopa omogoča pozicioniranje svetlobnega modula v smeri od ohišja proti svetlobnemu modulu oz. pri svetilu, ki je vgrajeno v vozilu, običajno torej z notranje strani.In an alternative embodiment, the control assembly is so designed that a snap-on attachment resting on the toothed surface of the light module's rim and lockable by a locking step is rigidly connected to a bearing in the latter, otherwise rotatable but in its axial direction, a fixed control screw that cooperates with the control nut, which is rigidly connected to the lamp housing. Such an arrangement of the control assembly enables the positioning of the light module in the direction from the housing to the light module or. with the vehicle's built-in lamp, usually from the inside.

Pri Še nadaljnji alternativni izvedbi regulacijskega sklopa je slednji tako zasnovan, da je na ohišju svetila predvideno zasukljivo a v osni smeri nepremakljivo ležišče, kije opremljeno s stožčastim ozobjem in skozi katero je privit regulacijski vijak, ki sodeluje z regulacijsko matico, s katero je togo povezan zaskočni nastavek za povezavo omenjene matice s svetlobnim modulom oz. njegovim vencem. Taka izvedba regulacijskega sklopa omogoča pozicioniranje svetlobnega modula v prečni smeri, torej v smeri vsaj v bistvu pravokotno gede na vzdolžno os svetlobnega modula oz. ohišja.In yet another alternative embodiment of the control assembly, the latter is designed in such a way that a pivotally and axially pivotable bearing is provided on the lamp housing, which is provided with a tapered tooth and through which a control screw is cooperated, which cooperates with the control nut with which the latch is rigidly connected. nozzle for connecting said nut to light module or his wreaths. Such an arrangement of the control assembly enables the positioning of the light module in the transverse direction, ie in the direction at least substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the light module, or. housings.

Na sl. 1 je prikazano svetilo, ki je izvedeno kot meglenka za motoma vozila. Svetilo sestoji iz ohišja 1 in iz svetlobnega modula 2. Ohišje 1 svetila je v danem primem tulčasto zasnovano in opremljeno s pritrdilnimi ušesi 11 za vgradnjo in pritrditev ohišja 1 na vsakokrat razpoložljivo lokacijo vsakokratnega vozila. Nadalje je ohišje 1 opremljeno z drug drugemu diametralno nasproti razporejenima ležiščnima ušesoma 12', 12 v katerih je na način, ki bo podrobneje obrazložen v nadaljevanju, uležiščen svetlobni modul 2 svetila. Vsaj del ohišja 1 je pri vozilu navzven viden in je v splošnem lahko pri raznovrstnih vozilih bodisi enak ali pa je npr. na voljo v nekaj različicah, ki se med seboj razlikujejo po obliki, barvi, razporeditvi pritrdilnih ušes 11, ali podobno. Svetlobni modul 2 svetila po izumu je prirejen za vgradnjo v ohišje 1 in opremljen s tulčastim osrednjim delom 22, predvidenim za vgradnjo neprikazane žarnice vključno z deli za dovod električne energije, kot tudi s cevasto zasnovanim v smeri nazaj oz. vstran od ohišja 1 potekajočim vencem 24. Za potrebe vgradnje v ohišje 1 je svetlobni modul 2 opremljen z diametralno drug drugemu nasproti razporejenima in vsaksebi štrlečima ležiščnima nastavkoma 2Γ, 21. Slednja sta vstavljena v omenjenih ležiščnih ušesih 12', 12. Med ohišjem 1 in svetlobnim modulom 2 je vstavljeno takoimenovano kotalčno tesnilo 3 (sl. 2 do 5). Zahvaljujoč tovrstni zasnovi svetila, je svetlobni modul 2 vsaj za določen kot mogoče nagibati okoli prečne osi 10 glede na ohišje 1. Pri tem je svetlobni modul 2 lahko povsem unificiran in je vstavljiv celo v ohišja 1 različnih oblik navzven vidnih območij, pod pogojem seveda, daje zagotovljena tudi možnost njegovega nastavljanja oz. pozicioniranja pri vsakovrstnih vozilih.In FIG. 1 shows a lamp designed as a fog lamp for the moto of the vehicle. The lamp consists of a housing 1 and a light module 2. The housing 1 of the lamp is, in a given example, a tubular design and is provided with mounting eyes 11 for mounting and attaching the housing 1 to the location of the vehicle in question. Further, the housing 1 is provided with each other diametrically opposite to the recessed bearing ears 12 ', 12 in which the light module 2 of the lamp is positioned in a manner further explained below. At least part of the housing 1 is externally visible in the vehicle and may generally be either the same in the case of a variety of vehicles or may be e.g. available in several variants that differ in shape, color, arrangement of mounting ears 11, or the like. The lighting module 2 of the luminaire according to the invention is adapted for installation in a housing 1 and is provided with a tubular central portion 22 intended for the installation of a non-displayed lamp including parts for supplying electricity, as well as a tubular rear-facing or rectangular design. away from the housing 1 with a running edge 24. For the purposes of installation in housing 1, the light module 2 is provided with diametrically opposite each other and projecting lugs 2 vsak, 21. The latter are inserted in said bearing lugs 12 ', 12. Between the housing 1 and the light module 2 has a so-called rolling seal 3 (Figures 2 to 5). Thanks to this type of luminaire design, the light module 2 can be tilted at least about a certain angle about the transverse axis 10 relative to the housing 1. In this case, the light module 2 can be completely unified and can even be inserted into the housing 1 of different shapes out of sight, provided, of course, it also provides the possibility of its adjustment or. positioning in all kinds of vehicles.

Prav zaradi nastavljanja oz. pozicioniranja je prej omenjeni cevasto zasnovan venec 24 svetlobnega modula 2 na svoji notranji površini 240 v vzdolžni smeri svetlobnega modula 2 ozobljen. V danem primeru sta na obodno potekajoči notranji površini 240 svetlobnega modula 2 svetila po izumu predvideni dve ozobljeni (ali ožlebljeni) območji 241, 242, ki vizualno tudi v resnici spominjata na notranje ozobje. Območji 241, 242 sta razporejeni diametralno drugo drugemu nasproti oz. simetrično glede na os 10, ki omogoča zasukljivost svetlobnega modula 2 glede na ohišje 1. Pri tem je vsako od območij 241, 242 opremljeno z zobci 243, ki potekajo med seboj vzporedno v vzdolžni smeri svetlobnega modula 2 oz. svetila, in sicer v danem primeru v razporeditvi z delitvijo približno 5° gledano v obodni smeri svetlobnega modula 2 oz. svetila, in hkrati tudi v razporeditvi, ki je simetrična glede na vertikalno in horizontalno ravnino svetlobnega modula 2 oz. svetila. To v danem primeru pomeni, da je na tako na zgornjem območju 241 kot tudi na spodnjem območju 242 notranje površine 24 venca 24 svetlobnega modula 2 levo in desno od vertikalne osi na voljo po dvanajst zobcev 243. Omenjeni ozobljeni obodno potekajoči venec 24 je v smeri proti notranjosti svetlobnega modula 2 prav tako zaključen z obodno potekajočo stopnico 245. Po drugi strani je na ohišju 1 svetila po izumu pritrjen regulacijski sklop 14, ki je podrobneje prikazan na sl. 2 in ki sestoji iz regulacijskega vijaka 141, ki je v tem primeru sicer vrtljivo, vendar v svoji osni smeri nepremakljivo nameščen v ustreznem ležišču 1410, kot tudi iz regulacijske matice 142, ki je v obravnavanem primeru opremljena z vsaj enim zaskočnim nastavkom 143, ki je nalegajoč v vrzeli med vsakokrat sosednjima zobcema 243 na vencu 24 svetlobnega modula 2 svetila - s svojim zaskočnim območjem 1430 zaskočljiv za stopnico 245 na notranji površini 240 venca 24 svetlobnega modula 2. V prikazanem primeru po sl. 1 in 2 je dostop do regulacijskega vijaka 141 možen iz smeri ohišja 1, torej pri vozilu z zunanje strani. Z vrtenjem vijaka 141 se slednji v svoji osni smeri ne premika, zato se mora premikati matica 142 s pritrdilnim nastavkom 143, ki nameščen na vencu 24 povzroči premikanje svetlobnega modula 2, namreč zasuk le-tega glede na ohišje 1 okoli prečne osi 10. Na ta način je omogočeno pozicioniranje svetila v smislu nastavljanja svetlobnega modula 2 pri svetilu, vgrajenem v vozilo, ter s tem zagotavljanje ustreznih optičnih lastnosti že vgrajenega svetila.It is precisely because of the setting or. of positioning, the aforementioned tubular-shaped crown 24 of the light module 2 on its inner surface 240 in the longitudinal direction of the light module 2 is serrated. In the present case, two perforated (or grooved) areas 241, 242 are provided on the circumferentially extending inner surface 240 of the light module 2 of the luminaire according to the invention, which are also visually reminiscent of the inner tooth. Areas 241, 242 are arranged diametrically opposite each other or respectively. symmetrical with respect to the axis 10, which allows the rotation of the light module 2 with respect to the housing 1. Each of the regions 241, 242 is provided with teeth 243 extending parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction of the light module 2 or. lamps, as appropriate, in an arrangement of about 5 ° in the circumferential direction of the light module 2 or. lamps, and at the same time in an arrangement symmetrical with respect to the vertical and horizontal planes of the light module 2 or. lamps. This means that in the upper area 241 as well as in the lower area 242 of the inner surface 24 of the lumen 24 of the light module 2 left and right of the vertical axis, there are twelve prongs 243 available in each case. towards the interior of the light module 2 also terminated by a circumferential running step 245. On the other hand, a control assembly 14 is attached to the housing 1 of the light according to the invention, which is shown in more detail in FIG. 2 and which consists of a control screw 141, which in this case is rotatable, but in its axial direction, is permanently mounted in a corresponding bearing 1410, as well as of a control nut 142, which in the present case is provided with at least one snap-on attachment 143, which is in the gap between the adjacent teeth 243 on the lumen 24 of the light module 2 of the luminaire - with its latching area 1430 it latches by a step 245 on the inner surface 240 of the lumen 24 of the light module 2. In the example shown in FIG. 1 and 2, access to control screw 141 is possible from the housing housing 1, ie from the outside. By rotating the screw 141, the latter does not move in its axial direction, so the nut 142 with the attachment 143, which is mounted on the rim 24, causes the light module 2 to move, namely rotating it with respect to the housing 1 about the transverse axis 10. this method enables the positioning of the lamp in terms of adjusting the light module 2 with the vehicle's built-in lamp, thereby ensuring the corresponding optical properties of the lamp already installed.

Na sl. 3 je prikazana različica regulacijskega sklopa 14, pri katerem je omogočen dostop do regulacijskega vijaka 141 z nasprotne smeri, torej s strani svetlobnega modula 2 oz. pri vozilu z notranje strani. V ta namen je regulacijska matica 142 vgrajena v ohišju 1, ležišče 1410 regulacijskega vijaka 141 pa je preko zaskočnega nastavka 1430 povezano s svetlobnim modulom 2. Ker se v tem primeru vijak 141 v svoji osni smeri ne more premikati po ležišču 1410, se ob vrtenju vijaka 141 v matici 142 vijak 141 premika skupaj z ležiščem 1410, skupaj s slednjim pa se premika tudi zaskočni nastavek 143 ter tako priteza venec 24 svetlobnega modula 2, ki se glede na ohišje 1 svetila zasuče za določen kot okoli osi 10.In FIG. 3 shows a variant of the control unit 14 which allows access to the control screw 141 from the opposite direction, that is, by the light module 2 or. with the vehicle from the inside. For this purpose, the adjusting nut 142 is mounted in the housing 1, and the seat 1410 of the control screw 141 is connected to the light module 2 via the snap-on attachment 1430. Since, in this case, the screw 141 cannot move in its axial direction on the seat 1410, it rotates when rotated of the bolt 141 in the nut 142, the bolt 141 moves together with the bearing 1410, and with the latter moves the snap nozzle 143, thus tightening the garment 24 of the light module 2, which rotates about a given angle about the axis 10 with respect to the housing 1 of the lamp.

Na sl. 4 je prikazana nadaljnja različica regulacijskega sklopa 14, pri kateri pa je položaj v ohišju 1 nameščene regulacijske matice 142 kot tudi v ležišču 1410 zasukljivo ter v svoji osni smeri nepremakljivo nameščenega vijaka 141 tako izbran, da vijak 141 poteka pod določenim kotom glede na vzdolžno os svetlobnega modula 2 oz. ohišja 1 svetila, s čimer je izvedljiva dostopnost do regulacijskega vijaka 141 z druge strani, pod vsakokrat izbranim kotom a glede na vzdolžno os svetila pač.In FIG. 4 shows a further variant of the control assembly 14, in which the position in the housing 1 of the installed control nut 142 as well as in the bearing 1410 is rotatable and in its axial direction of the permanently mounted screw 141 so selected that the screw 141 extends at a certain angle with respect to the longitudinal axis light module 2 oz. the housing 1 of the lamp, thereby making it possible to access the adjusting screw 141 on the other hand, at the angle chosen at each time, with respect to the longitudinal axis of the lamp.

Na sl. 5 je prikazana različica, pri kateri je ležišče 1410 za uležiščenje vijaka 141 opremljeno s stožčastim ozobjem 1411, s čimer je omogočeno sukanje regulacijskega vijaka 141 z dostopom iz prečne smeri t.j. vsaj v bistvu pravokotno glede na os vijaka 141, ki je pri tej različici na voljo v funkciji vijačnega vretena, s pomočjo katerega je ob vrtenju vijaka 141 doseženo premikanje svetlobnega modula 2 glede na ohišje 2 svetila.In FIG. 5 shows a variant in which the bearing housing 1410 for bearing the bolt 141 is provided with a tapered tooth 1411, thereby allowing the control bolt 141 to be rotated with access from a transverse direction, i.e. at least substantially perpendicular to the axis of the screw 141, which in this version is available in the function of a screw spindle, by means of which the movement of the light module 2 with respect to the housing 2 of the lamp is achieved by rotating the screw 141.
