Abstract
An ambient light device for a dial type shifting apparatus is provided. The ambient light device includes a printed circuit board (PCB) coupled to a main housing, a light source fixed to the PCB, a light guide coupled to the main housing and configured to deliver light of the light source, and a light emitting mechanism provided in a shift dial coupled rotatably with respect to the main housing and configured to reflect the light of the light source delivered through the light guide to emit it outside of the shift dial in an ambient light form.
Claims18
An ambient light device for a dial type shifting apparatus, comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB) coupled to a main housing;
- a light source fixed to the PCB;
- a light guide coupled to the main housing and configured to deliver light of the light source;
- and
- a light emitting mechanism coupled rotatably with respect to the main housing and configured to reflect the light of the light source delivered through the light guide to emit it outside of a shift dial disposed above the light guide in an ambient light form, wherein the shift dial is coupled rotatably with respect to the main housing and the light emitting mechanism is provided in the shift dial.
An ambient light device for a dial type shifting apparatus, comprising:
- a light source coupled to a main housing corresponding to a fixed component, wherein a reflector is coupled to a rotating component rotating with respect to the main housing so that the reflector is rotatable relative to the main housing;
- wherein the ambient light device is configured such that a light of the light source is reflected from the reflector and then emitted to an outside of the rotating component disposed above the light source;
- and
- wherein the rotating component is a shift dial that is coupled rotatably with respect to the main housing, the reflector being provided in the shift dial.
A vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle body;
- a main housing fixed to the vehicle body;
- and
- an ambient light device for a dial type shifting apparatus, comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB) coupled to the main housing;
- a light source fixed to the PCB;
- a light guide coupled to the main housing and configured to deliver light of the light source;
- and
- a light emitting mechanism coupled rotatably with respect to the main housing and configured to reflect the light of the light source delivered through the light guide to emit it outside of a shift dial disposed above the light guide in an ambient light form, wherein the shift dial is coupled rotatably with respect to the main housing and the light emitting mechanism is provided in the shift dial.
