  • Patent number: 5195815
    Abstract: An antiglare vehicle headlamp has an electric lighting bulb disposed in a lighting chamber defined by a lamp body and a cover lens secured thereto. A generally concave reflector is aimably mounted in the lighting chamber for reflecting the light rays from the bulb along the optical axis of the headlamp. The bulb has a substantially tubular envelope portion of vitreous material containing a filament, and a flat base portion formed in one piece with the envelope portion. As the base portion is conventionally formed by pinch sealing, a generally tapering part of indefinite shape and wall thickness is created between the envelope portion and the base portion. The indefinitely tapering part will refract in various directions the light rays emitted by the bulb filament. Should they be subsequently reflected by the reflector, such random light rays would not travel parallel to the optical axis, and some of them, issuing upwardly from the headlamp, would cause glare.

  • Patent number: 4959657
    Abstract: An omnidirectional antenna assembly for use with a satellite and others includes a four-element whip antenna, a first and a second reflector which are positioned to face each other, and a third reflector connecting the first and second reflectors to each other. The third reflector is provided with a frustoconical configuration and is highly conductive, whereby the range of antenna gain is broadened.

  • Patent number: 4945453
    Abstract: Herein disclosed is a vehicular headlamp. The headlamp comprises a concave light reflector which includes upper and lower light reflecting surfaces each being of a paraboloid of revolution. The upper and lower light reflecting surfaces have respective upper and lower rotation axes which extend forward in parallel with each other and have respective focuses on the axes. The respective focuses are located at respective positions where an imaginary line perpendicular to the rotation axes intersects the same. A lens covers an opening of the concave light reflector. A first light source is positioned at the focus of the lower light reflecting surface, and a second light source is positioned just above the focus of the upper light reflecting surface.
