JPS58177734A - Head lamp confirming device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily confirm the lighting of head lamps in one's own car even at rainfall night, by forming a light reflector with a pipe or transparent bar material curved with the both ends toward the car and mounting said reflector to the front part of the head lamps through a mounting fixture connected to the reflector. CONSTITUTION:A mounting fixture 2 formed by an iron plate or the like to a squared shape opened with one end is combined by stopper machine screws 4 to a light reflector 1 formed by a pipe or a transparent bar material whose both ends are curved toward this side. To mount a head lamp confirming device of this constitution, the fixture 2 is fitted to the front part 6 of a head lamp in front of a car body 5 of a automobile and fixed by screwing a tightening screw 3. In this way, light of the head lamp is partially emitted from a bottom end A of the reflector 1 while fully reflected by an internal wall to reach an upper end B, and the driver can easily and surely confirm the head lamp turned on.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention was devised so that a car driver can clearly see that the headlights of his/her car are on while driving on the road on a rainy night. It is.

On a rainy night, even if you turn on the headlights of your car on the road, it is very difficult to tell whether they are actually on or not. We all often experience the feeling of anxiety, wondering if something is not going to happen. Therefore, in the past, a pilot lamp was installed in the in-house instrument panel to indicate when the headlight switch was on, or a pilot lamp was installed on the fender. However, with either method, the pilot lamp may be instructed to turn on even though the headlight bulb is burnt out and does not emit light while the vehicle is driving, which is extremely dangerous.

The present invention has discovered a method completely different from the conventional method in order to eliminate this drawback.

As explained below with reference to the drawings, a fixture (2) can be connected to a light inverter (1) formed of a pipe or a transparent bar with both ends bent toward the front using a screw (4). This fixture (2) is made of iron plate or the like and is shaped like a U, and has a tightening screw (3).
A corresponding female thread is cut, and a set screw (4
) has a hole drilled through it.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, when in use, the mounting tool (2) is fitted into the front part (6) of the headlight in the front part of the vehicle body (5), and the tightening screw (3) is fitted. ) and tighten to secure.

If the present invention is installed in this manner, a portion of the headlight light enters the lower end (A) of the light inverter (1) and reaches the upper end (B) while being totally reflected on the inner wall of the light inverter. .

As a result, the headlight beams are originally emitted in the direction of travel of the car, but while passing through the light inverter they reverse course and are emitted towards the rear of the car, reaching the driver's eyes. This allows the driver to know for sure whether the headlights are on or not, giving them peace of mind.
It is effective for safe driving.

In addition to the above methods, there are various ways to connect the light inverter (1) and the fixture (2), such as using adhesive, attaching a band, holding a bracket, welding, etc. Although there is a bond, the effect of its use is similar to that described above.

Further, the attachment (2) and the front end portion (6) of the vehicle may be connected by any other method other than the above, such as by using an adhesive, and the effects of use are the same as those described above.

Furthermore, the shape of the pipe or transparent rod used in the light inverter (1) may be round, triangular, square, oval, semicylindrical, barrel-shaped, string-shaped, or any other shape. The effects of use are similar to those described above.
