ILLUMINATED GLASS PANEL FOR A VEHICLE, AND MANUFACTURE THEREOF
First Claim
1. An illuminating glazing unit for a vehicle comprising:
- a first sheet made of mineral or organic glass having a first main face and a second main face and an edge face,a peripheral light source with a source support, the peripheral light source being a self-supporting optical fiber with a lateral part forming an emitting region or light-emitting diodes each comprising a semiconductor chip with an emitting face, the emitting region or emitting face facing the edge face of the first sheet for a propagation of injected visible and/or ultraviolet light within the thickness of the first sheet, the first sheet acting as a guide for the injected light,a light extraction device constructed to extract of the guided light in order to form at least one illuminating region,the source support being within an accommodation surrounded by material and covered by a cover,the cover and the source support being removable from the glazing unit, a distance between the emitting face or region and the injection edge face being controlled by a positional locating device and a positional blocking device for the source support in the three directions of an orthogonal reference frame, said positional locating and blocking devices comprising a system for assembling the source support, associated with the first sheet, including an assembly element positioned with respect to the injection edge face.

Abstract
An illuminating glazing unit for a vehicle includes a first sheet made of mineral or organic glass, a peripheral light source with a support profiled member referred to as source support, the emitting region or face of the source facing the edge face, referred to as injection face, of the first sheet for a propagation of the injected light within the thickness of the first sheet, the first sheet then playing the role of guide for the injected light, a device of extraction of the guided light so as to form at least one illuminating region, the source support being within an accommodation surrounded by material and covered by a cover, the cover and the source support being removable from the glazing unit.

26. An illuminating glazing unit for a vehicle comprising:
-
a first sheet made of mineral or organic glass having a first main face, a second main face and an edge face; a peripheral light source provided with a source support, the peripheral light source comprising a plurality of light-emitting diodes each comprising an emitting face, the emitting face facing the edge face of the first sheet so that, in use, radiation emitted by the light source enters the edge face and propagates within the thickness of the first sheet, the first sheet acting as a guide for the injected radiation; a light extraction device constructed to extract the guided light in order to form an illuminating region; wherein the source support is provided within a space surrounded by material and covered by a cover, the cover and the source support being removable from the glazing unit, wherein a distance between the emitting face and the edge face is controlled by a system constructed to position and block the source support in three directions of an orthogonal reference frame, said system associated with the first sheet and including an assembly element positioned with respect to the edge face. - View Dependent Claims (27)
