  • Patent number: 11965636
    Abstract: The invention relates to a headlight (1), comprising a headlight housing (10) with a light exit opening (12), which is closed by means of a cover plate (11), at least one LED light source (21), which is arranged in at least one light module (20) positioned in the headlight housing (10) for generating a specified light distribution in front of the headlight (1), as well as a condensation protection device (30) with at least one air duct (40) for guiding air (41), as well as with at least one radiation emitter (60), wherein the at least one air duct (40) has an air entry opening (42) and at least one air exit opening (43), and the air exit opening (43) preferably faces the cover plate (11), as well as the air (41) guided in the air duct (40) can be heated up by means of the thermal radiation generated by the radiation emitter (60).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10627065
    Abstract: A motor vehicle lighting device (1) comprising at least one light source (2), an optical device (3) which is associated with the at least one light source (2) and into which light of the at least one light source (2) is irradiated, and an optical imaging system (6) associated with the optical device (3), this optical imaging system imaging light exiting from the optical device (3) in front of the motor vehicle lighting device (1), the optical device (3) being set up to concentrate the light of the at least one light source and to direct it in the form of at least two spatially separated light beams to the optical imaging system (6), and in that the optical imaging system (6) is set up to project the light beams in front of the motor vehicle lighting device (1) in the form of two light distributions, namely in the form of a main light distribution and a sign light partial light distribution, the optical device (3) having at least one shield (5) downstream of it that is arranged perpendicular to an optical axis

  • Patent number: 10247379
    Abstract: In a vehicle headlight comprising a light module (1) with a light source support (3), with at least one light source (17) and a reflector part (5) associated with the at least one light source (17), it being possible for reference elements (24) on the reflector part (5) to be brought into an operative connection with corresponding reference elements (25) on the light source support (3), the light source support (3) can be pushed into a guide part (2) with guide rails (6) for the reflector part (5), and the reflector part (5) has a catch (22) associated with the light source support (3) to displace the reflector part (5) together with the light source support (3) along the guide rails (6), which are designed to bring the reference elements (24) on the reflector part (5) into an operative connection with the corresponding reference elements (25) on the light source support (3) when the light source support (3) is pushed in.
