Patent number: 9684110Abstract: The present invention relates to a lighting device for vehicles. The lighting device has a flat optical waveguide containing two opposing flat sides, a light input surface for the entry of light, and a light output surface for emitting the entering light at a light output side of the flat waveguide. The light input surface has a central input section disposed in the main beam direction in front of the light source, and an outer input section adjacent thereto. The central input section and the outer input section are shaped such that a first sub-light bundle of the light striking the central input section strikes a central region of a sub-surface of the light output surface disposed in the main beam direction in front of the light input surface after being reflected at the flat sides. A second sub-light bundle of the light source, striking the outer input section, strikes an outer region of the same sub-surface, adjacent to the central region.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2015Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: Hella KGaA Hueck & Co.Inventor: Carmen Bungenstock

Patent number: 9534769Abstract: A lamp holder for an LED lamp string includes a base and an LED luminaire. The LED luminaire is inserted into the base. The base includes a casing, a cover, and a tail plug which are axially symmetric structures. The combination of the casing, cover and tail plug form a pin insertion hole of the LED luminaire and a wire inserting hole of a connecting wire of the lamp string, and the three are combined as a whole by a latch member, a latch slot, and a latch member. The cover and the tail plug seal an electrically conductive portion of the LED luminaire to provide a waterproof and dustproof effect. Since the casing, cover and tail plug are bilaterally symmetric structures, the level of difficulty of the alignment is reduced significantly. Automated equipment may be used for assembling the base in mass production, and the labor is reduced significantly.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2015Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Inventors: Yao Wu Liu, Kuo Chih Chen
