Cover assembly for airport guidance light

Abstract

A cover assembly comprising a cover having a plurality of holes for securement on top of a light base, said cover having a central top portion formed with at least one window for the exit light beam and an upwardly inclined ramp in front of said at least one aperture, and an optical system comprising a light source and at least one lens means hermetically mounted in said at least one window for the exit light beam, said lens means having a central refracting portion and two lateral total reflecting portions. The central refracting portion is formed with a first surface with double curvature towards the light source with flat upper and lower faces and a second surface with double curvature on its outer side with flat upper and lower faces. The lateral total reflecting portions are each formed with indentations protruding towards the light source in symmetric relation with respect to the optical axis of the exit light beam, each indentation having a curved face towards the light source, an inclined planar face transversal to the optical axis, and flat upper and lower faces, and each of said lateral portions having each a planar surface extending perpendicular to the optical axis on the outer side of the lens.
