Title:
VEHICLE LAMP
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2003242812
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To sufficiently secure irradiated beams going toward the short distance range of the front road surface of a vehicle from a second lamp unit, in a vehicle lamp wherein in addition to a first lamp unit irradiating beams toward the front road surface of the vehicle, the second lamp unit irradiating beams toward the oblique front road surface of the vehicle is stored.

The first lamp unit 16 and the second lamp unit 18 are disposed in a lamp chamber composed of a lamp body 12 and a translucent cover 14 so as to vertically make two steps of the lamp units with the second lamp unit 18 placed over the other, and the second lamp unit 18 is structured so that a part of reflected light from its reflector 34 permeates the front location of the first lamp unit 16 in the translucent cover 14. Thereby, the beam irradiating direction of the second lamp unit 18 can be set considerably downward, and the irradiated beams going toward the short distance range of the front road surface of the vehicle can be sufficiently secured.
