`SPECIFICATION
`
`1. Title of the Invention
`
`
`
`Vehicle Lamp
`
`5
`
`2. Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration
`
`
`
`(1) A vehicle lamp in which a light guiding space of a substantially
`
`L-shaped sectional configuration and consisting of a front space situated in
`
`front of a light source and a side space by the side thereof is formed by a lamp
`
`body and a front surface lens, wherein a stippling light guiding plate is arranged
`
`10
`
`in the side space.
`
`3. Detailed Description of the Invention
`
`[Industrial Field of Application]
`
`
`
`The present invention relates to a vehicle lamp in which a light guiding
`
`space of a substantially L-shaped configuration and consisting of a front space
`
`15
`
`in front of a bulb and a side space by the side of the bulb is formed between a
`
`lamp body and a front surface lens, and, in particular, to a vehicle lamp
`
`structure in which light is guided to a predetermined side space region that the
`
`light from the bulb does not reach sufficiently by a light guiding plate having a
`
`light reflection portion.
`
`20
`
`[Prior Art]
`
`
`
`Conventionally, various vehicle lamps of this type have been realized;
`
`Fig. 7 shows an example of such vehicle lamps.
`
`
`
`Fig. 7 is a main portion sectional view of the vehicle lamp as disclosed
`
`in JP S58-49522 Y2; this vehicle lamp has a light guiding space 3 of a
`
`25
`
`substantially L-shaped sectional configuration formed by a lamp body 1 and an
`
`1
`
`Page 2 of 20
`
`

`
`
`
`outer lens 2; a light guiding plate 4 is arranged beside this light guiding space 3,
`
`and a saw-teeth-like prism steps 5 are formed on the inner side of this light
`
`guiding plate 4; light from a bulb 6 enters the light guiding plate 4 as indicated
`
`by the arrows, and is guided to a light guiding plate distal end portion 4b after
`
`5
`
`repeating reflection in the light guiding plate 4; and, at the same time, the light is
`
`reflected by the prism steps 5 to be applied to the outer lens side, thus making
`
`the visibility at the side portion of the outer lens satisfactory.
`
`[Problems that the Invention is to Solve]
`
`
`
`However, in the construction of the above-described vehicle lamp,
`
`10
`
`when the light guiding plate 4 is long, the light guided is attenuated, and, the
`
`closer to the forward end portion of the light guiding plate, the more reduced is
`
`the light quantity, which means sufficient light does not reach the forward end
`
`portion of the side space, resulting in a rather insufficient illumination at the
`
`lamp side portion, and, in particular, in a rather poor visibility at the side portion
`
`15
`
`of the lamp.
`
`
`
`Further, it is necessary to adjust the light quantity according to the
`
`depth, interval, angle, etc. of the prism steps, which means the light quantity
`
`adjustment is very bothersome.
`
`
`
`Further, the light guiding plate is formed in a mold; and, the
`
`20
`
`configuration of the prism steps is regulated by the releasing direction of the
`
`forming mold; the prism steps cannot be made high at the curved portion of the
`
`light guiding plate, so that the illumination of the lamp side portion is insufficient,
`
`resulting in deterioration in visibility. In particular, when the kind of vehicle
`
`lamp differs, the configuration of the prism steps differs, so that it is necessary
`
`25
`
`to adjust the mold each time the kind of lamp is changed, which means the light
`
`2
`
`Page 3 of 20
`
`

`
`
`
`quantity adjustment is rather difficult.
`
`[Means for Solving the Problems]
`
`
`
`The present invention has been made with a view toward solving the
`
`above-problems in the prior-art technique; it is an object of the present
`
`5
`
`invention to provide a vehicle lamp which can sufficiently illuminate down to the
`
`side portion, and which allows easy light quantity adjustment.
`
`
`
`According to the present invention, there is provided a vehicle lamp in
`
`which a light guiding space of a substantially L-shaped sectional configuration
`
`and consisting of a front space situated in front of a light source and a side
`
`10
`
`space by the side thereof is formed by a lamp body and a front surface lens,
`
`wherein a stippling light guiding plate is arranged in the side space; even when
`
`the light is attenuated in the light guiding plate, reflection light is dense if the
`
`stippling is dense, making it possible to obtain a sufficient quantity of light, so
`
`that it is possible to guide a sufficient quantity of light via the stippling light
`
`15
`
`guiding plate to the side space which is difficult for the light from the bulb to
`
`reach, whereby it is possible to uniformly illuminate the entire lamp.
`
`[Embodiments]
`
`
`
`Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with
`
`reference to the drawings.
`
`20
`
`
`
`Fig. 1 is a main portion sectional view of a direct illumination type
`
`vehicle lamp according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
`
`
`
`In Fig. 1, a light guiding space 12 is defined by an outer lens 10, which
`
`is a front surface lens, and a lamp body 11. This light guiding space 12 is
`
`composed of a front space 12a situated in front of a bulb 13 and a side space
`
`25
`
`12b situated by the side of the bulb 13, and extends in a substantially L-shaped
`
`3
`
`Page 4 of 20
`
`

`
`
`
`sectional configuration. Numeral 14 indicates a stippling light guiding plate
`
`guiding the light from the bulb 13 to the side space 12b; one end portion 14a
`
`thereof faces the bulb 13, and the entire light guiding plate extends along the
`
`side space 12b, and is fixedly mounted to the lamp body 11 by an appropriate
`
`5
`
`means such as bonding, fusion-bonding, or screws, which are not shown.
`
`This stippling light guiding plate 14 is formed of a transparent synthetic resin in
`
`a substantially L-shaped sectional configuration, and is curved in a curvature
`
`substantially equivalent to that of the outer lens portion curve corresponding to
`
`the light guiding space 12 extending from the side portion of the outer lens 10,
`
`10
`
`that is, one end portion of the front space 12a, to the side space 12b, with its
`
`thickness dimension being diminished as it extends toward the forward end.
`
`
`
`Further, the back surface of the stippling light guiding plate 14, that is,
`
`the lamp body 11 side surface thereof, has a stippling reflection portion 15
`
`configured to reflect the light guided into the light guiding plate to the outer lens
`
`15
`
`side. This stippling reflection portion 15 is formed by a large number of
`
`stipples 16, with the stipples 16 becoming denser as the light guiding plate
`
`extends toward the forward end portion 14b. Generally speaking, the nearer
`
`to the forward end portion of the side space 12b, the more difficult it is for the
`
`light from the bulb 13 to reach, i.e., it is darker there; further, the light introduced
`
`20
`
`into the light guiding plate is also gradually attenuated, with the light quantity
`
`thereof decreasing. Thus, the nearer to the forward end side of the side space
`
`12b, the higher the stipple density so that the reflection light at the stippling
`
`reflection portion 15 may be largely secured, whereby it is possible to attain a
`
`uniform illumination throughout the entire lamp. Thus, due to the stippling
`
`25
`
`reflection portion 15, much light is guided to the side portion 10a of the outer
`
`4
`
`Page 5 of 20
`
`

`
`
`
`lens 10, and the quantity of light in the entire lamp is made uniform; at the same
`
`time, the visibility at the side portion of the lamp, which has in particular been a
`
`problem to be solved, is satisfactory.
`
`
`
`Further, white painting processing 17 is performed on the front surface
`
`5
`
`portion of the lamp body 11 facing the stippling light guiding plate 14, and light
`
`absorption at the body surface is suppressed as far as possible, whereby a
`
`further improvement is achieved in terms of visibility.
`
`
`
`
`
`Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.
`
`Of the light from the bulb 13, the portion of the light which has advanced
`
`10
`
`to the side of the stippling light guiding plate 14, one end of which faces the
`
`interior of the front space 12a, enters the interior from this one end portion 14a
`
`of the light guiding plate, and repeats reflection between the front and back
`
`surfaces of the stippling light guiding surface 14 to be guided to the forward end
`
`portion 14b of the light guiding plate; and, at the same time, a portion of the light
`
`15
`
`guided into the light guiding plate is reflected at the stippled surface, and is
`
`transmitted through the light guiding plate, the side space 12b, and the outer
`
`lens 10 before being applied to the front surface of the outer lens 10. The
`
`nearer to the forward end portion of the light guiding plate 14, the higher the
`
`stippling density, and the density of reflection light at the stippling reflection
`
`20
`
`portion 15 is so much the higher; also, the nearer to the forward end side of the
`
`side space 12b, which is difficult for the direct illumination light from the bulb 13
`
`to reach, the quantity of reflection light is so much the larger, with the result that
`
`the quantity of light in the light guiding space 12 is uniform, whereby it is
`
`possible to attain a uniform illumination throughout the entire lamp. As a result,
`
`25
`
`it is possible to achieve an improvement in terms of the visibility at the outer
`
`5
`
`Page 6 of 20
`
`

`
`
`
`lens side portion 10a, which has in particular been a problem to be solved.
`
`
`
`Fig. 2 shows an example of the mold for molding the stippling light
`
`guiding plate 14; Fig. 2(a) is a longitudinal sectional view of the same, and Figs.
`
`2(b) and 2(c) are explanatory views illustrating stippling density adjustment
`
`5
`
`methods.
`
`
`
`In these drawings, the stippling light guiding plate 14 is molded by an
`
`upper mold 42 and a lower mold 44. The upper and lower molds 42 and 44
`
`have molding surfaces 42a and 44a facing each other; in the lower molding
`
`surface 44a, there are provided a large number of columnar recesses 43 at
`
`10
`
`predetermined intervals as shown in Fig. 2(b). And, stipple forming
`
`protrusions 45 each formed as a column with a pointed head are fitted into
`
`these recesses 43, and stipples 16 are formed by these protrusions 45. And,
`
`in a region where the stippling density is to be high, the protrusions 45 are
`
`provided close to each other at high density; on the other hand, in a region
`
`15
`
`where the stippling density is to be low, the protrusions 45 are provided
`
`sparsely so as to be spaced away from each other, and embedding members
`
`46 are embedded in the recesses 43 where no protrusions 45 are to be
`
`provided, with the resultant surface being flush. In this way, the stippling light
`
`guiding plate 14 is formed, with the stippling density being adjusted.
`
`20
`
`
`
`Fig. 2(c) shows another embodiment of the lower mold; a stippling
`
`surface forming plate 47 is detachably attached to the molding surface side of
`
`the lower mold 44, and flanged stipple forming protrusions 48 and flanged
`
`embedding members 49 can be fitted from the back surface 47a side of the
`
`plate. Thus, the operation of fitting the protrusions 48 and the embedding
`
`25
`
`members 49 into the plate 47 can be conducted outside the mold 44, which
`
`6
`
`Page 7 of 20
`
`

`
`
`
`helps to facilitate the operation. Further, there is advantageously little danger
`
`of damaging the light guide surface forming side of the protrusions 48 and the
`
`embedding members 49 at the time of operation of attaching and detaching
`
`these elements. The detachable and replaceable stipple forming protrusions
`
`5
`
`45 (48) of Figs. 2(a) through 2(c) are only shown by way of example; and it is
`
`also possible to employ a mold in which the lower mold is directly machined to
`
`form stipple forming protrusions on the molding surface.
`
`
`
`In this way, in the stippling light guiding plate 14, it is possible to adjust
`
`the stipple density, that is, the light quantity, solely through adjustment of the
`
`10
`
`number of the stipple forming protrusions 45 (48) in the operation of fitting the
`
`stipple forming protrusions 45 (48) and the embedding members 46 (49) or in
`
`the operation of forming the stipple forming protrusions through direct
`
`machining of the molding surface of the mold, so that, as compared with the
`
`conventional light guiding plate having the prism steps, the adjustment of the
`
`15
`
`light quantity is very much facilitated.
`
`
`
`Thus, by using a stippling light guiding plate, even if the kind of vehicle
`
`lamp differs, it is possible to easily form a stippling light guiding plate endowed
`
`with a light quantity adjustment performance in accordance with the kind of
`
`lamp, which leads to a very high value in terms of use as compared with the
`
`20
`
`conventional light guiding plate with the prism steps, which requires the light
`
`quantity adjustment at the stage of designing the mold.
`
`
`
`Fig. 3(a) shows a second embodiment of the present invention, and Fig.
`
`3(b) is an enlarged perspective view of the main portion of the same.
`
`
`
`This second embodiment has substantially the same construction as
`
`25
`
`that of the first embodiment; however, one end portion 14a of the stippling light
`
`7
`
`Page 8 of 20
`
`

`
`
`
`guiding plate 14 is provided at a position spaced away from the bulb 13, and, at
`
`the same time, there is provided a tubular auxiliary bulb 18 opposite the light
`
`guiding plate end portion 14a; in addition to the light from the bulb (main bulb)
`
`13, the light from the auxiliary bulb 18 is guided to the forward end portion of the
`
`5
`
`side space 12b via the stippling light guiding plate 14, and is reflected at the
`
`stippling reflection portion 15, thereby enhancing the illumination effect.
`
`
`
`Further, in order to make the lighting of the auxiliary bulb 18 less
`
`conspicuous from the outside, the lower portion of the bulb 13 side end edge
`
`portion of the stippling light guiding plate 14 is cut out, and, in this cutout 19, the
`
`10
`
`tubular auxiliary bulb 18 is situated so that a part of the stippling light guiding
`
`plate 14 covers the upper portion of the auxiliary bulb 18, and, at the same time,
`
`embossing 19d is effected on the surface of the light guiding plate end edge
`
`portion 14c covering this auxiliary bulb 18.
`
`
`
`Further, the auxiliary bulb 18 is provided as close as possible to the
`
`15
`
`lamp body 11, thus preventing generation of the shadow of the auxiliary bulb 18
`
`due to the light from the bulb 13.
`
`
`
`Further, the prism steps 20 of the outer lens 10 are formed solely in the
`
`region indicated by symbol A where the light of the bulb 13 directly reaches, and
`
`the side portion 10a of the outer lens is formed as a non-stepped portion.
`
`20
`
`Thus, there is no need to form steps on the curved side portion 10a of the outer
`
`lens, so that the machining of the mold molding surface for molding the outer
`
`lens is so much the easier.
`
`
`
`Further, the prism step formation region and the end portion 14a of the
`
`light guiding plate 14 overlap each other, that is, the region indicated by symbol
`
`25
`
`A and illuminated by the direct illumination of the bulb 13, and the region
`
`8
`
`Page 9 of 20
`
`

`
`
`
`indicated by symbol B and illuminated by the stippling light guiding plate 14,
`
`overlap each other, whereby the boundary line between the direct illumination
`
`region A and the stippling illumination region B at the time of lighting of the lamp
`
`is inconspicuous. Otherwise, the present embodiment is the same as the first
`
`5
`
`embodiment described above, and the same components are indicated by the
`
`same reference numerals, with a description thereof being left out.
`
`
`
`Figs. 4(a) and 4(b) are main portion perspective views of a third
`
`embodiment of the present invention.
`
`
`
`The third embodiment is substantially of the same construction as the
`
`10
`
`second embodiment; however, in order to make the auxiliary bulb 18 less
`
`conspicuous, the lamp body 11 is provided with a visor member 21 of an
`
`L-shaped sectional configuration to cover the tubular auxiliary bulb 18 as shown
`
`in Fig. 4(a); or, as shown in Fig. 4(b), a semi-circular cutout 23 is provided
`
`substantially at the center in the width direction of the end portion 14a of the
`
`15
`
`stippling light guiding plate 14, and a spherical auxiliary bulb 18a such as a
`
`small wedge base bulb is arranged in the cutout 23, with the auxiliary bulb 18a
`
`being covered with an L-shaped visor member 22a.
`
`
`
`
`
`Fig. 5 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
`
`In this fourth embodiment, the present invention is applied to a
`
`20
`
`reflection type vehicle lamp; it is substantially of the same construction as the
`
`second embodiment described above. The bulb 13 mounting surface of the
`
`lamp body 11 is formed as a light reflection surface 24 such as a paraboloid,
`
`and fisheye steps 25 are formed over the entire inner side region of the outer
`
`lens 10. Symbol A1 indicates a range illuminated mainly by the reflection light
`
`25
`
`from a light reflection surface 24 of the body, and symbol B1 indicates a range
`
`9
`
`Page 10 of 20
`
`

`
`
`
`illuminated mainly by the reflection light from the stippling reflection portion.
`
`
`
`
`
`Figs. 6(a) and 6(b) show a sixth embodiment of the present invention.
`
`In both of these examples, the present invention is applied to an inner
`
`lens type vehicle lamp; they are of substantially the same construction as the
`
`5
`
`first and second embodiments.
`
`
`
`In the example shown in Fig. 6(a), a light guiding space 12 is formed by
`
`an inner lens 26 having prism steps 20 on the back surface thereof and by the
`
`lamp body 11; the auxiliary bulb 18 is provided at the end portion of the bulb
`
`front space 12a constituting a part of the light guiding space 12, and one end
`
`10
`
`portion 14a of the stippling light guiding plate 14 is arranged opposite this
`
`auxiliary bulb 18, with the other end of the stippling light guiding plate 14
`
`extending along the side space 12b. Numeral 25 indicates fisheye steps
`
`formed on the back surface of the outer lens 10. Symbol A2 indicates a range
`
`illuminated through shining of the inner lens mainly by the bulb direct
`
`15
`
`illumination light, and symbol B2 indicates a range illuminated through shining
`
`of the inner lens mainly by the reflection light from the stippling reflection
`
`portion.
`
`
`
`In the example shown in Fig. 6(b), the light guiding space 12 is formed
`
`by an inner lens 26 having fisheye steps 25 on the front surface and prism steps
`
`20
`
`20 on the back surface, and by the lamp body 11; one end portion 14a of the
`
`stippling light guiding plate 14 is arranged close to and opposite the bulb 13
`
`situated in the bulb front space 12a constituting a part of the light guiding space
`
`12, with the other end of the light guiding plate extending along the side space
`
`12b. Symbol A3 indicates a range illuminated through shining of the inner lens
`
`25
`
`mainly by the bulb direct illumination light, and symbol B3 indicates a range
`
`10
`
`Page 11 of 20
`
`

`
`
`
`illuminated through shining of the inner lens mainly by the reflection light from
`
`the stippling reflection portion.
`
`[Advantages of the Invention]
`
`
`
`As is apparent from the above description, in the vehicle lamp
`
`5
`
`according to the present invention, light is guided to the side space which is
`
`difficult for the light to reach and which forms a part of the light guiding space of
`
`a substantially L-shaped sectional configuration formed by the lamp body and
`
`the front lens, so that it is possible to freely adjust the reflection light quantity at
`
`the stippling reflection portion through adjustment of the stippling density of the
`
`10
`
`stippling light guiding plate. And, it is so arranged, for example, that the
`
`nearer to the forward end portion of the stippling light guiding plate (the end
`
`portion of the side space), the higher the stippling density, whereby even in the
`
`case of light attenuated at the light guiding plate end portion, it is possible to
`
`guide a sufficient quantity of light to the side space through concentration of
`
`15
`
`light, making it possible, for example, to uniformly illuminate the entire lamp;
`
`thus, it is possible to achieve a marked improvement in terms of visibility at the
`
`time of lighting, in particular, the visibility at the side of the lamp, which has
`
`been a problem to be solved.
`
`
`
`Further, the adjustment of the stippling density is made based on the
`
`20
`
`number of the stipple molding protrusions formed on the molding surface of the
`
`mold, so that the adjustment of the stippling density is easy to make, thus
`
`making it possible to easily conform to the kind of lamp.
`
`
`
`Apart from this, as compared with the conventional light guiding plate
`
`with prism steps, it also provides the following effects:
`
`25
`
`(1) There is no need to take into account the angle, depth, and interval of the
`
`11
`
`Page 12 of 20
`
`

`
`
`
`reflection surface as in the case of the prism steps, so that it is possible for the
`
`stippling light guiding plate to conform to a complicated configuration.
`
`(2) Since diffused reflection occurs at each stipple, there is involved little
`
`variation in brightness depending on the seeing angle as in the case of the
`
`5
`
`prism steps, and it is possible to attain a uniform illumination.
`
`(3) There are formed no shadow portions between the steps as in the case of
`
`the prism steps, so that there is involved no unevenness in light, and the
`
`reflection light quantity also increases.
