  • Patent number: 10543879
    Abstract: A small-vehicle direction indicator device includes a directional signal light for small vehicles, such as saddle riding type vehicles, the directional signal light including a lighting unit and a plurality of light sources that are arrayed in the lighting unit in a vehicle width direction. The small-vehicle direction indicator device performs a dynamic direction indication by chain-reactive switch-ons or switch-offs of the plurality of light sources when the directional signal light is activated. In the directional signal light, between the plurality of light sources, a light-blocking wall made of an opaque member is arranged, and wherein a plurality of the light-blocking walls are arrayed in the vehicle width direction.
