A skirt fitted around a rear opening edge of a lighting fixture, and a sleeve fitted around a bulb socket or a base of a bulb projecting to the rear of the reflector are joined via a thin member. An engagement edge is coaxially formed along the inside of the skirt. A stopper flange is formed along the leading end of the engagement edge meshing with a stopper flange formed along the rear opening edge of the lamp body. A number of grooves are circumferentially formed extending parallel to each other along the inner surface of the skirt and the sleeve. Water entering from the rear opening edge of the lamp body is stopped by a recessed groove formed at the bottom between the skirt and the engagement edge and the grooves circumferentially formed along the inner surface of the skirt and the sleeve.

Abstract: An illuminating device for a vehicle head lamp which defines a clear cut line of light distribution pattern. The light from a light source is transmitted through an optical fibre and is incident to a light conducting path lens from the optical fibre in a predetermined pattern defined by a shade. The light conducting path lens condenses and irradiates at an outgoing plane the light from a light incident plane. Thus, light distribution pattern is defined by the shape of the shade and the optical characteristics of the light conducting path lens. An end section of the shade defines an upper cut line, particularly at an opposite lane side, of the light distribution pattern. The shade is provided coincidentally with an optical axis of the outgoing plane of the light conducting path lens.

According to this, the core wire can be held firmly by the elastic interposing member, and also the connection state of the core wire to the reflector can be checked. Also, a holding member comprising bar-shaped projections is provided near the interposing member, and the firm fixation state of the trigger lead can be obtained by winding and fixing the trigger lead to this holding member.

Abstract: Multiple compact fluorescent annular lamps are arranged in complementary concentric fashion about a miniature tungsten-halogen light source. All lamping is combined with appropriate reflectors in a single assembly with internal controls so as to provide dimmable light, focused center light, and frigid weather illumination capability. Light output of high efficacy is produced by combining fluorescent technology and the versatility inherent in halogen incandescent technology. The annular fluorescent lamps are triangular or igloo-shaped in cross section and the associated reflector serves to redirect light from the base of the lamps.

Abstract: A back light assembly for an automotive vehicle comprising a housing having separable housing parts forming a chamber for a light bulb. The housing parts are releasably secured together by at least one and preferably two elongated, flexible, compressible, stretchable fasteners. Each fastener extends through aligned passages in the respective housing parts. Each fastener has two enlargements, one engageable with an abutment in the passage of one housing part and the other engageable with an abutment in the passage of the other housing part to hold the housing parts together. The distance between the enlargements in the unstretched, free state condition of the fasteners, before installation, is less than the distance between the abutments, so that when installed, the fasteners are stretched and in tension. One of the enlargements of each fastener is adapted to engage the rear window of the vehicle when the back light assembly is properly mounted.

Abstract: The headlamp has a housing in which a reflector is arranged adjustably. Engaging on the reflector is an adjusting element which can be moved along its longitudinal axis to make an adjustment. At its end, the adjusting element has a ball head which is arranged in a ball socket connected to the reflector. At the transition between the adjusting element and the ball head there is, over part of the circumference, a flattened portion by which a shoulder is formed. Over the rest of the circumference the transition from the adjusting element to the ball head is stepless. The ball socket has a resilient locking member which can engage on the shoulder, in a rotational position of the adjusting element, to secure the ball head from being pulled out. In another rotational position, the locking member engages on the stepless transition between the adjusting element and ball head so that the ball head can be pulled out of the ball socket and the adjusting element can be removed.
