    摘要: Various implementations of an illumination system include a light guide, a housing having a ceiling and defining a window, and a base coupled to the housing. The light guide is supported between the base and the ceiling. At least one light source is disposed adjacent a first end of the light guide. The light guide transmits the light from the light source through at least a portion of the outer surface of the light guide and the window. One or more tabs extending from the base each define at least one opening, and the at least one opening defined by each tab is alignable with an opening in a spoke portion of a frame. The openings receive a fastener to couple the base to the spoke portion. The housing may be integrally formed with a trim cover coupled to the frame.

    摘要: An illumination device includes a housing, having an opening, a substrate, a light source, and a light guide. The opening extends through the housing from a first side to a second side of the housing, and includes a first space and a second space. The light guide is disposed across the first space and the second space. The housing has a wall surface that faces the second space and contacts the light guide, a guide rib that extends in a second direction, and a fitting wall that extends in a third direction. The light guide has a first contact surface that contacts the wall surface so as to position the light guide in a first direction, and a guide groove that is fitted to the guide rib so as to position the light guide in the third direction while guiding movement of the light guide in the second direction.

    摘要: A lamp for an automobile, which includes: a light source; a first light guide unit provided on one side of the light source to face the light source; and a second light guide unit provided on the one side of the light source to face the light source and at least a portion of which is surrounded by the first light guide unit. The first light guide unit includes: a first light guide region which forms one end of the first light guide unit and to which a portion of the light emitted from the light source is incident; and a second light guide region which forms the other end of the first light guide unit and to which another portion of the light emitted from the light source is incident. The second light guide unit is provided between the first and second light guide regions.

    摘要: An accent lighting system is configured to provide accented light onto a desired location. The accent lighting system includes an accent adapter assembly that is configured to securely couple to a light source. The accent adapter assembly includes an accenting plate that is configured to accent light that is emitted from the light source. A method of securing an accent lighting system within an internal cabin of a vehicle includes removing an existing light source from an aperture of a composite panel, securing an accent adapter assembly to the existing light source to form the accent lighting system, and securing the accent lighting system in the aperture of the composite panel.

    摘要: A display device for an interior of a motor vehicle has an opaque decorative layer with a display side and a rear side. The opaque decorative layer has at least one opening which extends through the opaque decorative layer from the rear side as far as the display side and which is filled with a light-guiding filling material. At least one illumination source is arranged in the region of the rear side of the opaque decorative layer in such a way that the illumination source emits light through the opening with the light-guiding filling material from the display side of the opaque decorative layer into the interior.

    摘要: A light control apparatus includes a diffuser plate, a light source, a light pipe, and a light blocker. The diffuser plate includes at least one opening therein. The diffuser plate includes feature located around the opening in the diffuser plate that exposes a portion of the diffuser plate. A light source positioned proximate a second surface of the diffuser plate is optically coupled to a light pipe positioned around a portion of the opening near the second surface of diffuser plate. A light blocker is positioned near a second portion of the at least one feature. The light blocker is positioned between the light source and the second portion of the feature, the light blocker having an opening therein to allow light to pass from the light source to the diffuser plate proximate the second portion of the feature.

    摘要: A skin material for vehicle interior is bonded to a resinous vehicle interior base. The skin material for vehicle interior includes a woven fabric woven by using synthetic resin fibers, side emission type optical fibers, and heat fusible fibers as warps or wefts. The synthetic resin fibers and the side emission type optical fibers adjacent to the synthetic resin fibers are bonded in respective longitudinal directions thereof by the heat fusible fibers. Even when a plurality of the side emission type optical fibers are woven between the adjacent synthetic resin fibers, the adjacent side emission type optical fibers may be bonded to each other in the longitudinal direction by the heat fusible fibers. The heat fusible fibers may be obtained by twisting multifilaments and heat fusion yarns having a melting point lower than that of the multifilaments, and the multifilaments remain as constituent yarns after the bonding.
