Description

FIG. 1 is a rear elevational view of a left vehicle taillight (as viewed from the rear of the vehicle), the outer lens having been rendered opque using the Computer Aided Design tools to better illustrate the outer decorative surfaces. Only the left vehicle taillight is illustrated (the right vehicle taillight is a mirror of the left and is not illustrated but nonetheless covered by this patent);

FIG. 2 is a left side elevational view of the vehicle taillight;

FIG. 3 is a rear elevational view of the vehicle taillight thereof, with the lens removed for ease of illustration;

FIG. 4 is a left elevational view thereof;

FIG. 5 is a top down plan view of the vehicle taillight; and,

FIG. 6 is bottom up plan view of the vehicle taillight.

The vehicle taillight is styled independently of adjacent vehicle panels. To the extent that any feature lines are illustrated, they are intended to illustrate the crest and valley of the feature and are not necessarily sharp bends in the part. Shading is used to illustrate the curvature of the part and not color. Areas shown in or sounded by broken lines are not claimed. The surface normally visible when the vehicle taillight is attached to a vehicle is called the “Class A” surface is claimed. The surface not normally visible when the vehicle taillight is attached to a vehicle is called the “Class B” surface and is not claimed. Any functional features of the vehicle taillight are not claimed. Views are orthogonal projections unless otherwise noted. The various views are not necessarily to scale in order to better illustrate the design. The drawings were generated using Computer Aided Design tools. Highlights and shading were added to the drawings to better illustrate the three-dimensional features of the part.
