  • Headlight employing a combined mirror and deflection element with a non-flat light beam cut-off line
    Patent number: 7101062
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a headlight device comprising in particular a light source, a mirror exhibiting a reflecting surface and a transparent optical deflection element positioned in front of the mirror, the mirror being capable of interacting with the light source in order to generate a beam bounded by a line of interruption, and the deflection element being capable of providing a horizontal displacement of the light without modifying the vertical distribution of the latter, and at least one detachment element arranged on at least one of the surfaces of the mirror or of the optical deflection element reached by the light to obtain a line of interruption of the light beam that is not flat.

  • Headlight device of a motor vehicle with a combined mirror and deflection element, with an interruption that is not flat
    Publication number: 20040057245
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a headlight device comprising in particular a light source, a mirror (80) exhibiting a reflecting surface and a transparent optical deflection element positioned in front of the mirror (80), the mirror (80) being capable of interacting with the light source in order to generate a beam bounded by a line of interruption, and the deflection element being capable of providing a horizontal displacement of the light without modifying the vertical distribution of the latter, the said headlight device being characterised in that it comprises and at least one detachment element (81) arranged on at least one of the surfaces of the mirror (80) or of the optical deflection element reached by the light to obtain a line of interruption (71;72) of the light beam that is not flat.
