  • Patent number: 6783268
    Abstract: An indicator lamp for a motor vehicle includes a plurality of light sources, and a plurality of linking elements. The lamp includes components that straighten out the light emitted by the light sources so that the light is propagated in a direction essentially parallel to a general direction of emisssion. These components include multiple first elements and a second element. East first element corresponds to one of the plurality of light sources. The first elements are able to distribute the light in a plane essentially perpendicular to the general direction of emission, in an essentially uniform way onto the second element. The second element is able to straighten out the incident light towards the general direction of emission.

  • Publication number: 20030123260
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an indicator lamp for a motor vehicle comprising a plurality of light sources (10) and optical processing means (16, 18, 20) able to straighten out the light emitted by the light sources (10) so that it is propagated in a direction essentially parallel to a general direction of emission (X), the optical processing means (16, 18, 20) comprising, in association with each source (10), a first element (12, 16, 18) able to distribute the light in a plane (YZ) essentially perpendicular to the general direction of emission (X), in an essentially uniform way onto a second, generally plate-shaped, element (14, 20) able to straighten out the incident light towards the said general direction of emission (X).
