  • Patent number: 4622626
    Abstract: The device is a combination of a vehicle having a front and a rear end and two opposite sides located therebetween, and a lighting device disposed at the front and rear ends and having a device for directing rays of light in respective main beams extending forwardly of the front end and rearwardly of the rear end and in fan-like fashion rearwardly from the front end and forwardly from the rear end along the two opposite sides so that the fan-like rays from the front and rear ends overlap and the vehicle is completely surrounded by light.

    Inventor: Knut O. Sassmannshausen
  • Patent number: 4570208
    Abstract: Lamp, including a head, a concave mirror reflector disposed in the head, a battery case, and a carrier for a light source being integral with the battery case forming a one-piece unit, the reflector and the carrier being movable to each other in axial direction, and a method for producing the lamp.

    Inventor: Knut O. Sassmannshausen
  • Patent number: 4559589
    Abstract: Lighting fixture including an enclosure, means disposed in the enclosure for supplying a central source of light therein, a concave, generally parabolic reflector for directing a main beam of light out of the enclosure from the source generally along a given optical axis, the central source of light being located at the focal region of the concave reflector, the concave reflector having a light penetrable region thereof disposed at least at one side of the optical axis in a horizontal plane in common with the central light source, the light-penetrable region forming an escape window out of the enclosure for part of the light from the source.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 17, 1985
    Inventor: Knut O. Sassmannshausen
  • Patent number: 4307439
    Abstract: A lamp including a supply housing, means for supporting a bulb connectible to a power supply within the housing, a head of clear transparent material mounted on the housing, and a reflector mounted within the head and having a concave inner surface for reflecting light from the bulb along an axis, the head affording clear visibility of the exterior surface of the reflector.

    Date of Patent: December 22, 1981
    Inventor: Knut O. Sassmannshausen
  • Patent number: 4277821
    Abstract: A lamp having a main and an assistant reflector disposed mutually coaxially and having different parameters and focal regions includes a light source disposed in the focal region of the assistant reflector so that the main reflector emits a hollow conical light beam, and means associated with the assistant reflector for diverting light of the assistant reflector into a solidly conical light beam, the means being of such dimensions that the aperture angle of the solidly conical light beam of the assistant reflector and the aperture angle of the hollow conical light beam of the main reflector correspond to such an extent that both the hollow conical and solidly conical light beams exhibit at least one of the characteristics of supplementing and overlapping one another.

    Inventor: Knut O. Sassmannshausen
  • Patent number: 4213171
    Abstract: Lighting fixture includes an enclosure. Disposed in the enclosure are means for supplying a source of light at a light center therein. Also disposed in the enclosure are means for directing a beam of light out of the enclosure from the source along a given optical axis. Furthermore, disposed at least at one side of the optical axis and in a common horizonal plane with the light center are means for directing part of the light from the source out of the enclosure.

  • Patent number: 4143412
    Abstract: Lighting fixture includes a concave reflector having a given focal region and an axis, and means at least partly disposed in the focal region for supplying a source of light thereat reflectible at maximal intensity by the concave reflector in direction of the axis thereof and reflectible at decreasing intensity in direction extending from the light source at an increasing angle .beta. relative to the direction of the axis, so that(a) at .beta. = 1.degree., the light intensity is at least 200%,(b) at .beta. = 2.5.degree., the light intensity is at least 150%, and(c) at .beta. = 5.degree., the light intensity is at least 120% of the light intensity at .beta. = 10.degree..
