Abstract: A lamp including a lens support (1) and a glass lens (2) designed to be placed in front of a light source (5), said lens being assembled to the lens support which is secured to the light source, said support being made of a plastics material, said lens having a rear face (22) designed to face towards the light source, an optical front face (21), and a peripheral rim (23) which interconnects the rear face and the front face, the lens support coming into engagement with the lens at said rim, said lamp being characterized in that the support (1) is fixed to the lens (2) by overmolding, the plastics material of which the support is made surrounding the rim (23) of the lens at least in part.
Abstract: A headlight reflector (1) comprising: a reflecting wall (10) defining an optical axis (O); a first opening (12) for inserting and positioning a light source (2); a second opening (18) through which the light that has been reflected by the reflecting wall leaves the reflector; and a light mask (14, 15, 16) that blocks the path of a fraction of the light that would otherwise leave via the second opening, the reflector being characterized in that it is made integrally with the light mask.
Abstract: A motor vehicle rearview mirror for producing an image of an object situated outside and behind the vehicle, the rearview mirror comprising a lens (1; 1?; 1?; 1??) and a mirror (2) and being characterized in that the lens is a diverging concave lens having an optical axis (Al) and an optical focus (Fl; Fl?; Fl?), and the mirror is a mirror that is substantially concave, light beams (Fse, Fc, Fsi) passing through the diverging lens towards the mirror that reflects them in converging manner substantially without optical distortion in a direction that corresponds to the viewing axis of the driver looking at the mirror, characterized in that the mirror (2) defines a concave reflective surface (21) that corresponds substantially to a segment of a cylinder.

Abstract: Lighting assembly for a vehicle headlight having a reflector (1) defining a recess for a lamp; a cover glass (2) having a back face (21) facing the reflector and a front face (22); and a cover glass support part (3) secured to the reflector (1), the support part being provided with fixing device (4, 35) for holding the cover glass (2) securely in place on said support part (3). The fixing device (4, 35) has at least one member (4) forming a pressing contact portion (41) and an actuator portion (42) so as to bring the pressing contact portion into pressed contact against the cover glass (2) by moving the actuator portion, the support part (3) forming an abutment against which the cover glass rests on its front face, the pressing contact portion coming into pressed contact against the back face of the cover glass so as to push the cover glass against the abutment surface or points of the support part.
Abstract: A part (1) made of transparent material that allows visible light waves to pass therethrough, said part comprising outer faces (11, 12) defining a solid body (10) made of transparent material, the part being characterized in that it further comprises light diffracting means (14) situated inside the solid body (10) at a distance from the outer faces (11, 12).

Abstract: An optical unit is provided for use in a suspended aisle luminaire. The optical unit comprises a plurality of metalized reflecting components which are operative to produce a uniform illuminance level along vertical surfaces of an aisle while minimizing glare toward workers in the aisle. Secondly, the optical unit includes a plurality of non-metalized reflecting components which are operative to illuminate the vertical and horizontal surfaces of the aisle. Additionally, the optical unit may further comprise a plurality of refracting components which are operative to illuminate vertical surfaces near the luminaire and reduce dark spots on the vertical surfaces.

Abstract: An improved luminaire assembly having an HID lighting source with an upper reflector portion and a lower refractor portion. This luminaire assembly provides downlight control and glare control properties for a concentrated, narrowly spaced downwardly directed illumination. The downward light control below horizontal to uniformly distribute downward directing the light rays below horizontal to angle in the range between 30.degree. to 50.degree. vertical.
