Thereby, an illumination direction of an auxiliary lamp can be easily adjusted in the vertical or horizontal directions after the auxiliary lamp has been fitted to an automobile by an adhesive.

Abstract: The invention disclosed relates a bulb for use with vehicular lighting equipment and adapted for use therein. It comprises a glass bulb member having a multi-layered color layer, a non-color portion and light shield layer located thereon, a stem, a plurality of inner leads, a pair of filaments, a metallic shield member, a plug, etc. As combined with a reflector in vehicular lighting equipment, the bulb enables change of its beam in orientation and in color by selective operation of the filaments.

Abstract: An optical valve for use in a lamp of a motor vehicle comprises a main filament, and a sub-main filament. A multi-layer film is coated over a glass tube at the portion corresponding to the sub-main filament to produce yellow light. When driving at night and passing by a motor vehicle coming from the opposite direction, the sub-main filament is heated and produces yellow light which will not daze a driver's eyes, thus preventing dangerous situations to the drivers.

Abstract: A cargo-fastening unit for the roof-carrier is that in a roof-carrier having a horizontal bar being fixed on the roof top of a vehicle and also having a pivotal clamping bar being in parallel to the horizontal bar and being arranged to freely pivot so as to clamp and carry cargo between the bars, the horizontal bar and the clamping bar are respectively sectionalized into two parts at a suitable position to be joined by means of a detachable coupling bar, thereby providing a mechanism of simple construction but being able to change the length of the horizontal bar and the clamping bar in the lateral direction of the cargo as required according to the the width of the cargo so as to keep the cargo from loosening or injuring the cargo or falling off the vehicle due to severe vibrations or impacts applied on to the vehicle in operation.

Abstract: A roof carrier including horizontal struts able to carry and fix in place baggage, a plurality of stands supporting the struts on an automobile, bolts provided in the stands for fixing the struts and stands in position, and a locking device covering the heads of the bolts provided detachably on the struts or stands.

Abstract: A lock unit of a roof carrier of a vehicle which includes a crossbar for placing an object to be carried thereon, a plurality of stands for supporting the crossbar on a vehicle roof, and a rotatable knob mounted on at least one of the stands, for fixing the stands at given positions, on the roof of the vehicle, wherein the knobs include a lock member for preventing rotation of the knobs, the locking member including a cam member, and wherein the knob includes a bottom plate, a rotating member mounted on the plate, a pin member, and a biasing member positioned between the rotating member and the cam member for biasing the pin member into engagement with the cam member.

Abstract: A lock unit for a roof carrier having a crossbar for securely placing a carried object hereon, and a plurality of stands for placing the crossbar on a vehicle roof, including a pivotal cover rod having a first end for supporting the carried object sandwiched between the pivotal rod and the crossbar and which is pivotally supported on a first side end of the crossbar and a hook-like bent portion is provided at a second end of the pivotal cover rod, a lock member provided at a second side end of the crossbar.
