Headlamp with a continuous long-distance illumination without glaring effects

A headlamp comprising:

• at least one light source;
• at least one reflector section;
• at least one inclined reflective shield;
• at least one lens;
• and
• at least one reflective surface disposed in front of said at least one reflector section;
• and
• at least one semi-shutter which is used for covering an upper half of said lens in order that light rays coming from said light source, from said at least one reflector section, and from all reflecting surfaces inside the headlamp are not transmitted through said lens at eye level of oncoming traffic users,
• wherein said inclined shield and reflective surface are so adjusted that the reflective surface reflects the light rays coming from the reflective shield towards a lower half of the lens.

A headlamp comprising:

• at least one light source;
• at least one reflector section;
• at least one lens;
• and
• at least one semi-shutter, which is used for covering an upper half of said lens in order that light rays coming from said light source, from said at least one reflector section and from all reflecting surfaces inside the headlamp are not transmitted through said lens at eye level of oncoming traffic users,
• wherein the locations of lower edges of the at least one reflector section and the semi-shutter are so adjusted that the light rays are directed towards a lower half of the lens through an opening placed between the at least one reflector section and the lower edge of the semi-shutter such that the lower half of the lens projects light rays to only road suifaces.

A headlamp comprising:

• at least one light source;
• at least one reflector section;
• at least one lens;
• at least one mirror reflector;
• and
• at least one semi-shutter, which is used for covering an upper half of said lens in order that light rays coming from said light source, from said at least one reflector section and from all reflecting surfaces inside the headlamp are not transmitted through said lens at eye level of oncoming traffic users,
• wherein the locations of said mirror reflector and said semi-shutter are so adjusted that the light rays are directed towards a lower half of the lens through an opening placed between the mirror reflector and a lower edge of the semi-shutter such that the lower half of the lens projects light rays to only road surfaces.

A method for a long-distance illumination without glaring effects that uses a headlamp comprising at least one light source, at least one reflector section, at least a shield, and at least one lens, the method comprising the steps of:

• covering with a semi-shutter an upper half of said lens in order to prevent the light rays coming from the light source, said at least one reflector section and all reflecting surfaces inside the headlamp from being transmitted through the upper half of the lens,
• locating said shield front of the reflector section in order to prevent at least some of the light rays reaching from said reflector section to said lens,
• adjusting said semi-shutter and said shield so that they establish a total concealment of said light source, said reflector sections and all reflecting surfaces inside the headlamp from an observer or oncoming traffic users looking above XX horizontal level so that the light rays pass through an opening placed between an upper edge of the shield and a lower edge of the semi-shutter and reach a lower half of the lens;
• and
• projecting the light rays to only road surfaces through the lower half of the lens but not projecting them up to the XX horizontal plane that the optical center of the lens.

• covering with a semi-shutter an upper half of said lens in order to prevent the light rays coming from the light source, said at least one reflector section and all reflecting surfaces inside the headlamp from being transmitted through the upper half of the lens,
• locating a lower edge of the reflector section so that it is near the level of the optical center of the lens,
• adjusting said semi-shutter and said at least one reflector section so that they establish a total concealment of said light source and said reflector section from an observer or oncoming traffic users looking above XX horizontal level so that the light rays pass through an opening placed between the reflector section and a lower edge of the semi-shutter and reach a lower half of the lens;
• and
• projecting the light rays to only road surfaces through the lower half of the lens but not projecting them up to the XX horizontal plane that passes the optical center of the lens.
