Abstract: An automobile lamp comprising a light source, a shade covering the light source, a reflector having an aperture, an outer lens covering the aperture, and an inner lens arranged vertically between the shade and the outer lens, wherein the reflector has a central reflecting surface, which directs light emitted from the light source to the inner lens, a left reflecting surface, a right reflecting surface, and at least one non-reflecting surface which is at least one step between the central reflecting surface and the left or right reflecting surface, and the inner lens covers the central reflecting surface of the reflector. Light distribution patterns are formed by the inner lens, the left reflecting surface, and the right reflecting surface. Light distribution patterns of the automobile lamps are horizontally wide and have high uniformity of luminous flux density distribution.

Abstract: The headlight is used as a high beam headlight and has a light source (12) propagating light that is reflected by a reflector (10) as a light beam, which produces maximum illumination intensities that do not exceed legally prescribed maximum illumination intensities. The headlight light is designed so that the high maximum illumination intensities permissible in Europe according to the ECE Rules are produced by the light beam issuing from it. A screen device (20,30) is insertable in this headlight, by which a portion of the light issuing from the light source (12) to the reflector (10) is blocked and thus prevented from reaching the reflector. Because of that the maximum illumination intensities produced by the light beam issuing from the headlight are reduced so that the headlight can be used, for example in the USA or Japan, where reduced maximum illumination intensities are permitted in comparison to those in Europe, by insertion of the screen device in the otherwise unchanged headlight.

Abstract: A motorcycle forward lamp comprising a housing having an optically transmissive lens and an opening, an elastomer member mounted to the housing, and a light source assembly mounted (e.g., detachably) to the elastomer member and positioned within the opening. The light source assembly is isolated from the housing by the elastomer member. A shield is detachably mounted and positioned within the housing between the light source and the lens. A fastener and a washer are secured to the housing and positioned to maintain the light source assembly in the opening, and a dust cap is detachably mounted over the opening. The dust cap includes a notch in which the washer is positioned to thereby maintain the dust cap in position over the opening.

Abstract: A motor vehicle headlamp has a lamp with two filaments, one of which has a masking screen so as to form a chopped or dipped beam, while the other filament is unmasked so as to produce an unchopped beam. The headlight also includes a reflector and a smooth cover lens.The reflector has an upper zone extending between two radial half planes which are inclined by the same amount below the horizontal, this upper zone being larger than the part of the reflector which is exposed to the first filament; the reflector has two lateral sub-zones with base surfaces which are symmetrical with respect to the vertical, with striations being formed by projection on the base surface, the striations being configured according to the particular type of chopped beam required. The reflector also has a second zone having a surface for cooperation with the second filament only, so as to form a wide portion of the beam and extending at least partly above the cut-off of the dipped beam.

Abstract: A headlight for automobiles with a head light filament and a high beam filament installed in the same poly-ellipsoid system. A part from the necessary parts in a conventional headlight, a reflector and a high beam filament are added. Thus, a high efficiency and a clear boundary of brightness are obtained under the conditions of smaller surface area.

Abstract: A motor vehicle headlamp has a discharge lamp, a reflector and a smooth or nearly smooth cover lens, the reflector being adapted to generate a beam below a cut-off line. At least two masks are associated with the discharge lamp, and define two shadow zones on the reflector; the reflector includes at least two reflective zones for forming portions of the beam below the cut-off line, with different amounts of sideways spreading of the light; and these zones of the reflector are separated by generally radial transition planes, at least some of which extend into the shadow zones. A particular application is to enable wide cruising beams to be produced to European standards without any optical anomalies.

Abstract: The invention relates to a headlamp for an automobile vehicle comprising an elliptical reflector, a light source positioned in a region of the first focus of the reflector, a lens, the focus of which is in a region of the second focus of the reflector, and a mask interposed between the reflector and the lens to effect a cut-off of the light beam emitted. A mirror is located in front of the mask and adapted to return direct light rays emitted by the light source onto the front face of the mask which thereby diffuses them towards the lens.

Abstract: The vehicle headlamp uses a light shield with a interior surface with a rough, black ceramic coating. The ceramic surface absorbs almost all the visible light shone on it. The surface is highly resistant to the heat generated by the light absorption, and the roughness breaks up visible light images in any small amount of reflected light. The ceramic material does not outgas or deteriorate so as to leave a film on the other lamp elements.

The reflector is divided into four parts located in upper and lower sides and right and left sides thereof; an upper reflection surface, a lower reflection surface, a right reflection surface, and a left reflection surface, the four reflection surfaces being formed as curved surfaces on the basis of oval surfaces and combined together.

Abstract: A motor vehicle headlight has a reflector receiving a lamp, and a cover lens in front of the reflector. A glass styling embellisher is fitted in front of the lamp, and is secured by a one piece fastening member which is essentially in two parts, which are brought together by bending so as to put the fastening member in a closed condition in which a flange of the embellisher is trapped between retaining elements of the fastening member. The two parts of the latter have retaining lugs for retaining the fastening member, carrying the embellisher, in position in a lamp aperture of the reflector.

A corner can be brightly illuminated when the motorcycle is cornering, which means that the visibility of the corner can be improved and oncoming traffic is not dazzled when the motorcycle is travelling straight on.

Abstract: A projector light assembly includes a primary reflector having a proximal end and a distal end and a lens positioned distally of the distal end of the reflector. The assembly also includes a shade plate configured to prevent light reflected by a first section of the primary reflector from reaching a first portion of the lens (e.g., a portion of the lens above a horizontal axis of the lens). An auxiliary reflector attached to the shade plate reflects light reflected by a second section of the primary reflector so as to direct the reflected light toward the first portion of the lens.

Abstract: A vehicle lamp having a discharge bulb which prevents radiation of electromagnetic waves toward the forward positions of the lamp. Radiation into the other directions is prevented by shielding members disposed around the lamp. A shade disposed in front of a discharge bulb attached to a reflector is made of metal and a stem of the shade is secured to the reflector in a state where the stem is electrically connected to a socket fixture. The shade is placed at ground potential through the fixture. Thus, the front portion of the discharge bulb is shielded and prevents radiation of the electromagnetic waves to positions in front of the lamp.
