Title:
HEADLIGHT FOR AUTOMOBILE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH10308106
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To improve illumination to a space of nearer road boundary line and light guidance of a driver, and reduce a condition of dazzling drivers of cars on the opposite lane by constituting so that an inclination of facets to a vertical line of headlights, an extinction light source, diffusion of a light beam and widths of the facets respectively satisfy specific expressions.

Headlights 1 and 2 have facets 11, 12, 21 and 22 in the shape of a parabolic column forming profiles B and C above a horizontal line (z). In the case of the headlight 1, gradients to a vertical line (y) are α11 and α12, and gradients in the case of the headlight 2 are α21 and α22, and respectively satisfy expressions I and II. An extinction light source is also set so that a surface of its light source becomes a prescribed distance Δf from a focus of a reflector, and satisfies expression III. In diffusion of a light beam, the size relationship between obliquely upward diffusions β and and obliquely downward diffusions γ and δ satisfies expression IV, and facet widths w11 and w12 of the headlight 1 and facet widths w21 and w22 also satisfy expression V.
