Claims4
A vehicle lamp body device comprising:
- a long frame body having an opening part;
- a lightguide rod which extends in a longitudinal direction, of the opening part;
- a first light source,
- wherein the lightguide rod guides light that is emitted from the first light source and that is incident on one end of the lightguide rod;
- to an other end of the lightguide rod by internal reflection,
- wherein the lightguide rod includes an emission surface that is provided at a side of the opening part and emits the light;
- and
- a plurality of light curtains, each of which is a lightguide disposed at the side of the opening part with respect to the lightguide rod, and which are separated from each other in the longitudinal direction of the lightguide rod,
- wherein the plurality of light curtains each include a claw-like part,
- wherein each claw-like part extends in a intersect direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the lightguide rod,
- each claw-like part guides, in the intersect direction, light that is incident from a second light source provided at one end of the claw-like part, to an other end of the claw-like part by internal reflection, the second light source being different from the first light source,
- the claw-like parts are disposed at an interval in the longitudinal direction of the lightguide rod,
- each claw-like part includes an emission surface that is provided at the side of the opening part and that emits the light from the second light source, and the emission surface of each claw-like part overlaps with the emission surface of the lightguide rod from the side of the opening part.
