摘要:
In a headlamp having a light-diverging concave mirror, the inner reflecting surface of the concave mirror is a composite paraboloidal surface of revolution made of multiple different paraboloidal surfaces of revolution taking as common focus a predetermined point on the optical axis and smoothly joined to each other, and the lamp bulb is so disposed as to have the center thereof disposed as substantially coincident with the common focus. Each of the different paraboloidal surfaces of revolution composing the inner reflecting surface reflects the rays incident from the lamp bulb in directions away from the optical axis in a horizontal plane in which the optical axis lies, in directions parallel to the optical axis or in directions nearer to the optical axis. Since the angles of the reflected rays with respect too the optical axis are different depending upon their distances from the common focus, the luminous intensity distribution pattern can have an ample amount of light and the pattern can be extended nearly uniformly from its center horizontally to the right and left, and also the light amount can be adjusted. Therefore, the rays emitted from the lamp bulb can be utilized most effectively for illumination of the road surface.

An automotive projector type headlight including a light source, a reflector for reflecting the light forward, a shade for partially shading and thus contouring the reflected light, and a projecting lens for projecting the contoured light forward. The light source comprises a main filament and a sub-filament extending generally along the optical axis. The reflector has a plurality of radially divided reflective surface portions. An upper reflective surface portion reflects the light from the sub-filament and converge it to a first converging position located above the optical axis. A shading edge of the shade is positioned near to the first converging position. The projecting lens has a focus near to the shading edge. A lower reflective surface portion reflects the light from the main filament, converges it to a second converging position extending horizontally and converges the light to a third converging position extending vertically. Left and right reflective surface portions act to converge the light from both filaments and to diffuse it thereafter. And a portion of the reflective surface is formed into paraboloid of rotation having the focus near to the filaments.

A reflector for a dimmed or dimmable motor vehicle headlight is divided into an asymmetrical wedge-shaped sector, an upper sector, and a lower sector which are stepped axially from on another. The reflection surface is thereby formed such that a desirable light distribution is achieved without a correcting lens in horizontal and vertical areas perpendicular to a middle axis of the headlight. The desired light distribution of the asymmetrical wedge-shape sector is such that a corresponding point of every reflected light-filament image of each arbitrary point of the asymmetrical wedge-shaped reflection surface is positioned immediately near a prescribed borderline, such as a legislatively mandated borderline.

A composite reflecting mirror for a headlamp comprises a plurality of paraboloidal columnar reflecting surfaces, the reflecting surfaces having their respective focal points fall on a horizontal line extending through approximately the axis of symmetry of the mirror. The composite reflecting mirror is laterally substantially divided into three portions, i.e., a left end portion, a right end portion and a central portion. The relationship of the average value of the focal lengths of the plurality of paraboloidal columnar reflecting surfaces included in the respective portions is such that the average value of the focal lengths of the left end portion is greater than that of the central portion, and the average value of the focal lengths of the right end portion is greater than that of the central portion.
摘要:
The reflection surface of a rectangular reflector for a lower beam headlamp is composed of four sectors delimited by transition lines. Two diametrically opposed left and right sectors (11, 12) form a part of a paraboloid projecting a hot light spot. The diametrically opposed upper and lower sectors (13, 14) are part of a paraboloid-ellipsoid defining a parabola in its vertical center section and an ellipsis in its horizontal center section. The latter sectors project a light spot having a broad light dispersion and an increased front field illumination. The reflected light beam corresponds substantially to a dimmed lower light beam to be projected on the road so that a light dispersing glass of the headlamp does not require any optical means for light beam adjustment.
摘要:
In a motor vehicle headlamp or the like, the required distribution of the light rays is achieved entirely by selecting an appropriate configuration for the reflector; the front glass is a plain glass having smooth front and rear surfaces. The reflector surface is, as far as possible, a plain paraboloidal surface, but is provided with elongate ribs in selected zones, to produce a spreading of the light rays reflected from these ribs; the light is spread transversely to the length of the ribs. The reflector surface also has offset portions which, like the basic reflector shape, are paraboloidal, but have their focus or foci displaced from the focus of the basic reflector shape.
