Abstract
Three lamp units are supported on a bracket supported to be rotatable with respect to a lamp body. In the configuration of the respective lamp units, light source units are supported to be rotatable in an up and down direction with respect to the bracket, and projection lenses are fixedly supported on the bracket. Accordingly, it is possible to correct a misalignment of optical axes among the lamp units by preventing the occurrence of the positional misalignment of the projection lenses among the lamp units and then rotating the respective light source units with respect to the bracket.
Claims9
A vehicular lamp comprising:
- a plurality of lamp units configured to project irradiation light to form a predetermined light distribution pattern;
- and
- a bracket supported to be rotatable with respect to a lamp body in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction,
- wherein the plurality of lamp units is supported on the bracket,
- each of the plurality of lamp units includes a light source unit, and a light control member formed with a projection lens and configured to control light emitted from the light source unit,
- each of the light source units includes a light source and a reflector,
- in at least some of the plurality of lamp units, the light source unit is supported to be rotatable in a vertical direction with respect to the bracket about a rotational axis that horizontally extends between the bracket and the light source unit of each of the plurality of lamp units, and the light control member is fixedly supported on the bracket,
- wherein the light source remains fixed relative to the reflector while the light source unit is being rotated in the vertical direction with respect to the bracket about the rotational axis.
A vehicular lamp comprising:
- a plurality of lamp units configured to project irradiation light to form a predetermined light distribution pattern;
- and
- a bracket supported to be rotatable with respect to a lamp body in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction;
- wherein the plurality of lamp units is supported on the bracket,
- each of the plurality of lamp units includes a light source unit, and a light control member formed with a reflector which in turn is formed as a continuous body member to be fixedly supported on the bracket and configured to control light emitted from the light source unit,
- each of the light source units includes a light source mounted on a base,
- in at least some of the plurality of lamp units, the light source unit is supported to be rotatable in a vertical direction with respect to the bracket about a rotational axis that horizontally extends between the bracket and the base of each of the plurality of lamp units,
- wherein the light source and the base are radially displaced together as the light source unit is being rotated in the vertical direction with respect to the bracket about the rotational axis.
