ATTORNEY DOCKET NO: 0 8 215 / 210 0 01 CENTER-MOUNTED AUXILIARY DRIVING LAMP
Backqround The invention is related to a center-mounted auxiliary driving lamp.
Conventional auxiliary driving lamps, such as fog lamps, provide illumination of the road that assists the vehicle operator at night or in fog. The assistance prov1ded is in addition to the illumination provided by standard headlights. In general, the auxiliary driving lamps may be mounted in pairs, with one on either side of the underside of the front bumper.
SummarY
In one general aspect, the invention features an auxiliary driving lamp assembly configured to be mounted at the center of the front bumper of a motorized vehicle. The lamp assembly includes a lamp unit configured to produce light and a lens positioned to produce a beam of light from the light of the lamp unit and direct the beam to a position in front of the vehicle to provide illumination for use by a driver of the motorized vehicle.
Embodiments may include one or more of the following features. For example, the assembly may include a license plate holder that is integrally formed with the assembly.
The lamp unit may include a reflector, with the reflector being positioned so that, when a license plate is installed in the holder, the reflector is positioned directly behind the license plate. The reflector may be oriented to direct light in a direction substantially parallel to the lens and a mirror may be used to reflect the light through the lens.
