Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To further enhance the viewability of a signal light. SOLUTION: The signal light 1 irradiates a globe 15 with light from the light source 11 through a light-passing member 12. An initial reflective surface 16 of the light-passing member 12 internally reflects part of the entered light toward the globe 15, passing the remaining light to a reflective member 13. A second reflective surface 17 of the reflective member 13 makes total internal reflection of the light passed through the initial reflective surface 16 toward the globe 15. The initial and the second reflective surfaces 16 and 17 are disposed overlapped as viewed from the axial direction, being mutually spaced apart in the axial direction. This makes it possible to secure a wide area for each reflective surface 16 and 17, and to irradiate light at plural positions separated in the axial direction. It is further made possible to secure a wide viewing angle and to make the size small.

In the signal indicator light 90, light is dispersed and reflected at a plurality of positions (ranges 95 and 96 of the globe 91 corresponding to the respective positions) corresponding to the respective total reflection surfaces 93 and 94. By illuminating, the visibility can be improved as compared with the one having a single total reflection surface. For this purpose, the plurality of total reflection surfaces 93 and 94 are arranged in a stepwise manner apart from each other in the axial direction of the cylindrical shape of the globe 91. Further, in response to the light from the light source 92 being irradiated in the axial direction, the plurality of total reflection surfaces 93 and 94 are arranged so as to be shifted in the radial direction so as not to overlap each other.

However, since the plurality of total reflection surfaces 93 and 94 are shifted from each other in the radial direction, if the size of each of the total reflection surfaces 93 and 94 is widened, the signal indicator lamp is turned on. It tends to be larger. On the other hand, if each of the total reflection surfaces 93 and 94 is made smaller to prevent an increase in the size, the range in which the reflected light from each of the total reflection surfaces 93 and 94 reaches correspondingly becomes narrower. In other words, the so-called viewing angle, which is the range in which the light having the high intensity can be visually recognized and the range around the signal indicator lamp, is narrowed.
