VEHICLE FRONT PART Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering. SUBSTANCE: to facilitate mounting of side direction indicators on front part of vehicle with provision of luminous flux increasing information content concerning maneuvers in driving, inner surface of each reflector is made in form of nine reflecting sectors, each widening from hole in top of reflector in vertical and horizontal planes at acute angle to inclined outlet hole of reflector. Each sector is formed by concave surfaces with different focal distances. Surfaces are connected to each other at two sides by flat surfaces, are limited at third side by line of intersection with cylindrical surface made for mounting the light source, and at fourth side, by line of intersection with plane of inclined outlet hole of reflector. Common focal point of sectors lies on intersection of axis parallel to longitudinal axis of vehicle and center of light source. Two cylindrical bosses are made on outer surface of reflector along vertical axis. Bosses are designed for fastening reflector on brackets holding lighting devices whose inner surface is made hexagonal in section. EFFECT: simplified mounting, provision of adequate luminous flux. 3 cl, 3 dwg
