Abstract (en)
[origin: US4740871A] A vehicle signal lamp serves to mark the position of the vehicle by emitting light axially relative to the vehicle and also by emitting light sideways relative to the vehicle. Reflector for directing light axially is extended on its inner side by a portion for directing a beam sideways toward the space situated between the free edge of the opposite side of the reflector and the corner region of the closure glass. The refractor elements normally provided on the inside surface of said closure glass are advantageously used to distribute said lateral beam so as to provide the required angular photometry to the side of the vehicle. The invention is particularly applicable to low-profile lamps.
