Patent number: 10627560Abstract: An optical system for a lighting device, comprising a light-guiding optical part configured for spreading light beams generated by light sources situated opposite to a rear side of the optical part. Light beams are coupled into the light-guiding optical part, and after passing through the light-guiding optical part the light beams are emitted through its output surface. Rear side of light-guiding optical part is equipped with macroscopic cavities, each pair of adjacent macroscopic cavities forming between themselves an optical segment, whose two sides, which separate the optical segment from the pair of macroscopic cavities, comprise a reflective surface. The optical segment comprises a rear surface on the rear side, opposite to which a light source is positioned. The reflective surfaces are configured for reflecting a part of the light beams, which were coupled through the rear surface into the optical segment, and then directing them to the output surface.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2018Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: Varroc Lighting Systems, S.R.O.Inventors: Tomas Gloss, Vit Simurda, Jakub Hruska

Patent number: 10598329Abstract: The light-conductive optical system comprises a planarly shaped light guide (1) made from an optically transparent material with an associated light unit (3) and a collimating element (2). The light guide (1) comprises an output surface (12) for the output of light rays (10) and a binding surface (11) to bind light rays (10) to the light guide (1). The output surface (12) and the binding surface (11) are situated on surfaces that transversally connect the top (5) and bottom surface (6) of the light guide (1) and the binding surface (11) comprises a partial surface (11c) situated opposite the output surface (22) of the collimating element (2) and a lateral partial surface (11a, 11b) at one or both sides of the partial surface (11c). The height (v) of the output surface (22) is bigger than the thickness (t) of the light guide (1) so the output surface (22) reaches above the top surface (5) and/or below the bottom surface (6) of the light guide (1) with its overlapping part (8, 9).Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2018Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Varric Lighting Sytems, S.R.O.Inventors: Tomas Gloss, Jakub Hruska, Vit Simurda, Jan Hanko

Patent number: 10371342Abstract: A light device, especially a signal lamp, for motor vehicles, comprising a carrier housing covered by a translucent cover, and an inner chamber in which at least one primary optical assembly is housed, and comprising a planar light guide to guide the light generated by a lighting unit. The light guide surface comprises a front output surface to emit light rays out of the light device and an input surface to bind light rays produced by the lighting unit. The light guide surface includes, on its side facing away from the front output surface, at least one reflective surface configured to direct light rays to, and through, the output surface out of the planar light guide to create, on the front output surface, an output light region with a light intensity which differs from light intensity shown by places adjacent to the region on the front output surface.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2017Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: VARROC LIGHTING SYSTEMS, S.R.O.Inventors: Tomas Gloss, Vit Simurda, Ondrej Matuska
