  • Patent number: 9857045
    Abstract: A rear combination lamp is configured to include a door-side lamp portion, which has a first LED, a first housing, and a first lens, and a fender-side lamp portion, which has a second LED, a second housing, and a second lens. The door-side lamp portion and the fender-side lamp portion are disposed adjacent to one another in the vehicle width direction. Moreover, a second lamp-side reflector that reflects toward the second lens the light emitted from the second LED is disposed between the second housing and the second lens. Part of the second lamp-side reflector is configured as an interstitial reflecting portion that reflects the light emitted from the second LED between the first lens and the second lens.

  • Publication number: 20160138772
    Abstract: A vehicular lamp includes a plurality of light sources (7); a first lens (8) with an incident surface (11) upon which light emitted from the light sources (7) is incident and an emission surface (12) from which an incident light from the incident surface (11) is emitted; and a second lens (9) with a light incident surface (15) upon which the light emitted from the emission surface (12) of the first lens (8) is incident and a light emission surface (16) from which an incident light from the light incident surface (15) is emitted. A reflective portion (13) that internally reflects the incident light from the incident surface (11) toward the emission surface (12) is formed on the first lens (8), and a diffusion processing portion (15a) that diffuses light is formed on the light incident surface (15) of the second lens (9).

  • Patent number: 9249944
    Abstract: It is provided a vehicle rear lamp structure that can effectively utilize light that is illuminated from a light source. A door side lamp portion of a rear combination lamp has a housing that supports an incandescent bulb for a back lamp, and a lens that covers the incandescent bulb for the back lamp by being fixed to the housing, and transmits light illuminated from the incandescent bulb for the back lamp. Further, a garnish is mounted to the door side lamp portion. A surface at the lens side of the garnish reflects light, that is illuminated from the incandescent bulb for the back lamp, toward a vehicle rear side. Due thereto, light illuminated from the incandescent bulb for the back lamp can be utilized effectively.

  • Patent number: 6014888
    Abstract: An environmental air is sucked by the pump with control unit, and organic solvent contained in the environmental air is collected by the absorbent. Organic solvent having passed through the absorbent is detected by the semiconductor gas sensor. If passage of a material to be measured is detected by the semiconductor gas sensor, operation of the pump with control unit is stopped, and the operation for collecting the material is terminated. Then the absorbent is taken out from the collecting tube, the material collected is quantified by means of gas chromatography, and the density is measured. With this configuration, measurement of a density of a material to be measured in a working environment can be executed accurately.
