Abstract
A signal lamp for a front and rear lighting of a vehicle includes at least one light source for emitting light, wherein the at least one light source is hidden from view; a reflector for reflecting the light emitted by the at least one light source away from the vehicle; and at least one light guide disposed between the reflector and a cover of the signal lamp, the at least one light guide having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is disposed adjacent the at least one light source and the second end is located adjacent a focus point of the reflector.
Claims20
A signal lamp for a vehicle, comprising:
- a housing having a cover configured to allow light to pass therethrough;
- a nontransparent frame disposed within the housing;
- at least one hidden light source for emitting light, the at least one hidden light source disposed within the housing behind the nontransparent frame such that the light source is not visible from any direction outside the housing;
- a reflector for reflecting the light emitted by the at least one light source away from the vehicle;
- and
- at least one light guide disposed between the reflector and the cover to direct the light emitted by the at least one light source onto the reflector.
A signal lamp, comprising:
- at least one hidden light source for emitting light;
- a reflector for reflecting the light emitted by the at least one light source, the reflector having a convex surface and a concave surface defining a focus;
- and
- at least one light guide disposed between the reflector and a cover of the signal lamp to direct the light emitted by the at least one light source onto the reflector, the at least one light guide having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is disposed adjacent the at least one light source and the second end including an end surface oriented facing toward the reflector concave surface and located at the focus.
A signal lamp, comprising:
- at least one light source for emitting light, wherein the at least one light source is hidden from view by a frame of the signal lamp;
- a reflector for reflecting the light emitted by the at least one light source, wherein the reflector includes at least one parabolic surface;
- and
- at least one light guide disposed between the reflector and a cover of the signal lamp to direct the light emitted by the at least one light source onto the reflector, the at least one light guide comprising a first end disposed at the at least one light source and a second end disposed between the cover and the reflector, wherein the light emitted by the at least one light source enters the first end and does not exit the at least one light guide until the second end.
