ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to generally to motor vehicles lights.
One of such motor vehicle lights is disclosed for example in the German patent document DE 297 09 279 U1. The motor vehicle light has a concavely curved reflector, in which a light source is inserted. In the light outlet direction after the light source, a cover element is provided through which the light source is partially covered when seen from outside of the light. The light outlet direction of the light is covered with a light-permeable disk which is free of optical profiles. The shape of the reflector is determined by a computer calculations and so that the light emitted through the reflector from the light source is reflected for producing a predetermined light distribution. However, no recommendations are provided for the shape of the reflector for producing of the predetermined light distribution.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a motor vehicle light which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art.
In keeping with these objects and with others which will become apparent herein after, one feature of present invention resides, briefly stated, in a motor vehicle light, in which the reflector is shaped so that the light emitted by the light source is reflected by it so that it passes on the cover element at least substantially unaffected.
Wherein the motor vehicle light is designed in accordance with the present invention, then the whole light reflected by the reflector can exit the motor vehicle light.
In accordance with further features of the present invention, the motor vehicle light is formed so that an illumination intensity distribution with sufficiently high maximum illumination intensities is obtained in its center.
The novel features which are considered as characteristic for the present invention are set forth in particular in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, both as to its construction and its method of operation, together with additional objects and advantages thereof, will be best understood from the following description of specific embodiments when read in connection with the accompanying drawings.
