  • Patent number: 7674024
    Abstract: A bulb 37 and a reflecting plate 40 are disposed in offset relation to a lens 54 so that an optical axis LB1 of a beam, emitted from the bulb 37, and an optical axis LB2 of reflection light, reflected by the reflecting plate 40, can intersect an axis CL of the lens 54 in a forward-rearward direction of a vehicle. Therefore, the beam can be radiated forwardly without directing the lens 54 forwardly. In the case where two reflecting surfaces 41a and 41b of an identical shape are provided symmetrically on the reflecting plate 40, and are arranged in the forward-rearward direction of the vehicle, and there are provided a pair of bulbs 37, a pair of reflecting plates 40 and a pair of lens 54 each pair of which are provided respectively for left and right (two) directions, the pair of reflecting plates, having an identical construction, are used. Therefore, the cost can be reduced, and this also prevents an erroneous operation in which the two reflecting plates are mounted in a reversed manner.

  • Patent number: 7232245
    Abstract: A bezel member (52) to which a lens (54) which transmits light from a light source (37) is supported on a main body (30) to be fixed to a vehicle body (11). A spherical surface (52a) is formed on one of the main body (30) or a bezel member (52), and sliding members (34) for being pressed against the spherical surface (52a) are formed on the other one of them, so that the bezel member (52) can be rotated with respect to a supporting member (33) of the main body (30) and fixed to a given position. Since a metal plate is used as the sliding members (34) in this interior illumination lamp (10), a problem such that the light source cannot be fixed to the desired direction due to abrasion or change of properties of the felt sliding member as in the related art due to the temperature or deterioration with age can be solved. Also, in comparison with the case in which the spring or the like is employed, increase in cost due to increase in the number of parts can be avoided.

  • Patent number: 7195380
    Abstract: An interior illumination lamp includes a body 30 for being fixed to a vehicle body 11, and a lamp 50 which is angularly movably supported on a support portion 33 mounted on the body 30, and has a lens 54 capable of transmitting a beam from a light source 37 therethrough. The lamp 50 includes a first bezel 52 angularly movably supported on the support portion 33, and a second bezel 53 which holds the lens 54, and is mounted on the first bezel 52. The second bezel 53 has a reflecting surface 55 for receiving and reflecting transmitted light through the lens 54, and this reflecting surface is designed to have a low reflectance. By doing so, the light, reflected by the reflecting surface 55, is not glaring, and therefore a beam, coming into the driver's sight via a room mirror, is not glaring, and therefore will not affect the driving operation.

  • Patent number: 7147354
    Abstract: The invention is to provide an interior illumination lamp which can change lighting directions, not directly touching lenses by the fingers. If rotating fins in the forward direction of the lenses, outer bezels are rotated together, so that a light emitting direction can be adjusted, not directly contacting the lenses with the fingers as conventionally. Even if the lenses are heated, the light emitting directions can be adjusted thereby. Not directly contacting the lenses by the fingers, the lenses are prevented from being stained to decrease illumination. In addition, since the fins avoid the light diffusion, a driver and other riding people are kept off dazzling by the light.

  • Patent number: 7104674
    Abstract: An interior illumination lamp 10 including a design portion 20 in which a lens 54 is fixed to a bezel 22 of a housing 21 capable of being attached to an opening 13a provided at an interior member 13 of a vehicle 11, a functional portion 30 arranged to a rear side of the interior member 13 by being supported by the design portion 20 and having a light source 37, and a guide portion 26 in a groove-like shape provided for guiding an electric wire W/H connected to the functional portion 30, in which a clip 25 is arranged to a notched portion 26b provided at a wall portion 26a of the guide portion 26 and front ends of the wall portion 26a interposing the notched portions 26b are connected to ride over the notched portions 26b. That is, upper portions of the notched portions 26b of the clips 25 provided at the guide portion 26 are connected and therefore, the electric wire W/H wired along the guide portion 26 can be prevented from extruding from the notched portion 26b to be bit thereby.

  • Publication number: 20050174790
    Abstract: When a bezel portion 52 is angularly moved in order to adjust an illuminating direction, a lens 54 and a reflecting plate 40 are angularly moved, but a bulb 37 is not angularly moved since it is fixed to a body 30, and therefore a wire harness W/H, connected to the bulb 37, will not be twisted. Therefore, the cutting of conductors of the wire harness W/H due to the twisting of the wire harness W/H upon adjusting of the illuminating direction as encountered in a conventional construction is prevented. And besides, the lens 54 and the reflecting plate 40 are angularly moved in synchronism with each other, and therefore reflected light from the reflecting plate 40 is always irradiated on a predetermined portion of the lens 54. Therefore, a beam, emitted from the bulb 37, can be efficiently irradiated on an object to be irradiated. A notch 41 is formed in the reflecting plate 40, and therefore the bulb 37 and the reflecting plate 40 can be easily mounted.
