Definitions

the present invention relates generally to ventilation devices for lighting or signaling for motor vehicles.
a constant concern when designing these ventilation devices is to provide ventilation or satisfactory ventilation of the interior space of the housing or base of the device, while avoiding the most effectively the penetration of water, mud, dust, ... in this interior space.
the present invention aims to propose a new ventilation device which, thanks to simple means, economical and slightly increasing the overall size, a winding path improving the barrier effect to liquids, and in which the fixing of the cap is improved.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device easy to assemble, and which can easily receive if necessary a foam filter.
the present invention provides for this purpose an apparatus lighting or signaling for motor vehicle such as defined in claim 1.
the reference 100 on the Figures 1, 2, 5 and 6 denote part of a wall, for rear example, of a projector housing according to the present invention.
the ventilation device according to the invention comprises also a plug illustrated in detail in FIGS. 3 and 4.
the mounting of the cap on the housing is carried out in first of all, possibly placing the foam filter 300 between the flexible legs 210a, 210b and bearing against the inside face of partition 204, as illustrated on Figure 3, and by performing a horizontal translation of the plug to engage its upper, lower and side around the homologous partitions of the case and for also engage the tabs 210a, 210b in the opening 1201 formed in the housing.
teeth 2101a, 2101b have crossed the edges of this last opening, with a slight elastic deformation towards the inside, they move away again and come to ensure a hooking in back of the face wall 120, thereby ensuring snap-in mounting, the stop position being defined by the support of the free edges of the partitions outside of the plug against the wall 100 of the housing.
the ventilation device opens onto the space inside the housing or base, from the region of filter 300, through opening 1201 partially occupied by the legs 210a, 210b.
the assembly of the ventilation device by simple elastic engagement of the plug, is simple; the mechanical strength remains satisfactory even after aging; in addition, the fact that the foam filter possibly provided can be mounted on the front cap assembly facilitates industrialization.
filter 300 can be omitted as indicated above.
