Abstract: A lamp apparatus or a vehicle headlamp having first and second lamp units that are provided adjacent to each other in the lateral direction so as to tilt in a lamp body by first and second aiming mechanisms, respectively. First supporting portions for supporting a fulcrum pin and aiming screws of the fast aiming mechanism are provided behind the first lamp unit in the lamp body, and second supporting portions for supporting a fulcrum pin and aiming screws of the second aiming mechanism are provided behind the second lamp unit in the lamp body; and at least one of the plurality of first supporting portions and at least one of the plurality of second supporting portions are provided so as to overlap each other in a direction in which the lamp units are disposed when the headlamp is viewed from front.

Abstract: A vehicle lamp comprising a lamp body and a lens that is installed at the front of the lamp body further comprising a unit housing chamber that houses a lighting circuit unit for lighting a discharge bulb installed in the lamp body. The unit housing is provided under the lamp body with a separation wall in between; and at the front end of the separation wall, an air flow opening is formed so that the interior of the unit housing chamber communicates with the interior of the light chamber. Further, an Ad extension reflector is provided over the opening so as to extend to the vicinity of the inner surface of a front lens. Air heated by the lighting circuit unit when the discharge bulb is lit flows into the lamp body through the opening and rises along the inner surface of the front lens, thus heating the front lens so that the front lens melts and removes snow covering the outer surface of the front lens.

Abstract: The right headlamp in a four-lamp type headlamp system is provided in such a manner that its lamp having a discharge bulb which is on the outside as viewed in the direction of width of the vehicle body is positioned at the corner of the front of the vehicle body, and the configuration of the surface of the lens is a curved surface which is curved backwardly and outwardly as viewed in the direction of width of the vehicle body. Furthermore, at the outermost end, as viewed in the direction of width of the vehicle body, of the lens surface, the horizontal component of the normal thereat is inclined at an angle (=about 70°) outwardly as viewed in the direction of width of the vehicle body with respect to the axial line in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle body.

Abstract: A socket plug for attachment to a lighting fixture by means of rotation includes a body portion for receiving a bulb, a handle portion attached to the body portion, wherein the body portion is integrally formed of substantially axially aligned portions, namely, a bulb attachment portion, a lighting fixture attachment portion, and a handle attachment portion to which the handle portion is attached. Electrical conductors supply electricity to a bulb and are guided outwards through an end portion of the handle attachment portion, the handle portion is integrally formed of a coupling portion coupled to the handle attachment portion of the body portion and a conductor retaining portion for retaining the electrical conductors.

Abstract: A vehicle lamp includes a lamp chamber formed by covering the front opening of a lamp body with an outer lens in order to mount a reflector carrying a bulb of a vehicle lamp as a primary vehicle lamp in the lamp chamber, and an extension disposed on the periphery of the opening of the reflector mounted in the lamp chamber. The extension is fixed to the lamp body or the outer lens, and the reflector of a vehicle lamp as an auxiliary vehicle lamp and an inner lens for covering the opening of the reflector therewith are fixed to the extension.
