Abstract
A vehicle lamp has a first light emitting surface and a second light emitting surface forming a light emitting surface, which is continuous in a vehicle width direction, by connecting a back surface on a tip side of a first light guide lens and a front surface on a base end side of a second light guide lens via a connecting portion, and a first lateral emission surface configured to emit some of first light guided in the first light guide lens toward an inner side in a vehicle width direction is provided on the connecting portion.
Claims9
A vehicle lamp comprising:
- a first light emitting unit including a first light source and a first light guide lens, and configured to cause first light emitted from the first light source to enter from a base end side of the first light guide lens, guide the first light toward a tip side of the first light guide lens, emit the first light reflected by a plurality of reflection cuts provided on a back surface side of the first light guide lens from a front surface side of the first light guide lens, and thus cause a first light emitting surface provided on the front surface side of the first light guide lens to emit light;
- and
- a second light emitting unit including a second light source and a second light guide lens, and configured to cause second light emitted from the second light source to enter from a base end side of the second light guide lens, guide the second light toward a tip side of the second light guide lens, emit the second light reflected by a plurality of reflection cuts provided on a back surface side of the second light guide lens from a front surface side of the second light guide lens, and thus cause a second light emitting surface provided on the front surface side of the second light guide lens to emit light,
- wherein the first light emitting surface and the second light emitting surface form a light emitting surface, which is continuous in a vehicle width direction, by connecting a back surface on the tip side of the first light guide lens and a front surface on the base end side of the second light guide lens via a connecting portion,
- a first lateral emission surface configured to emit some of the first light guided in the first light guide lens toward an inner side in the vehicle width direction is provided on the connecting portion,
- wherein the first light guide lens includes a light incidence part configured to cause the first light emitted from the first light source to enter inside of the first light guide lens, and a reflecting part configured to reflect the first light entered from the light incidence part toward the tip side of the first light guide lens, and
- among the first light guided in the first light guide lens, the first lateral emission surface emits the first light, which is reflected by the reflecting part and directly advances to the first lateral emission surface, toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction.
