Patent number: 10507764Abstract: A vehicle interior trim assembly and an illuminable emblem assembly is provided. The assembly includes a vehicle interior trim part such as an air bag cover which has at least one opening which defines an emblem pattern. An illumination module including at least one light source is configured to generate visible light rays when energized. A lens including at least one layer is molded in a molding process to have a 3D emblem shape fitted through and matching the at least one opening. The lens has at least one surface-defining portion which is sized and shaped to have the emblem pattern at the front surface of the part. The lens gathers and redirects light rays from the illumination module to generate light in the emblem pattern of substantially uniform intensity through the at least one surface-defining portion and into a passenger compartment of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2017Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: JVIS-USA, LLCInventors: Ingo E. Schneider, Richard L. Arundale, Remon S. Jiddou

Patent number: 10508794Abstract: A troffer light fixture has a housing with a LED assembly positioned in the housing. The LED assembly includes at least one LED array comprising LEDs of at least two different colors. The LED assembly includes a first LED array having a first LED on a first string and a second LED on a second string and a second LED array having a third LED on a third string and fourth LED on a fourth string. A wide lens covers the LED array. A reflector assembly has a first reflective surface and a second reflective surface reflecting light from the at least one LED array laterally across the width of the wide lens. Alternatively, the LED array may be approximately one-half the width of the wide lens and the reflector may be eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2017Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: IDEAL Industries Lighting LLCInventors: Jin Hong Lim, Kurt Wilcox, Mark Boomgaarden, Randall Levy Bernard, Curt Progl

Patent number: 10480743Abstract: A light beam adjusting device includes a first optical deflection unit having a first light incidence face and a first light exit face, the first optical deflection unit being arranged to deflect light which is incident from the first light incidence face and which exits from the first light exit face at a first deflection angle. A second optical deflection unit has a second light incidence face and a second light exit face, the second light incidence face being arranged to face the first light exit face and including an array of prisms arranged to deflect the light exiting from the first light exit face at a second deflection angle. The light beam adjusting device obtains the desired deflection direction of the incident light beam by a compact structure providing two-stages of optical deflection units to achieve the deflection of an incident light beam.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2018Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: Valeo Lighting Hubei Technical Center Co. LtdInventors: Yagui Gao, Chen Chen
