(Remedy) Sub-headlights for use in leaning vehicles wherein the sub-headlights consist of a sub-headlight light source that illuminates the front by relative to the direction of the width of the vehicle the area ahead and outside of the vehicle by Relative to the vehicle width direction, the brightness of the sub-headlight light source will change according to the vehicle tilt angle, when the vehicle tilt angle is tilted to one side relative to the width direction. of the vehicle to the set reference value for the sub-headlight light source. Sub headlight light source will light up with the first brightness and during the period from when the vehicle tilt angle reaches a small lower value Over the reference value is the time when the vehicle tilt angle reaches the reference value. The sub headlight light source will light up. with brightness less than the first brightness To provide a sub-set of headlights for use in lean-to-turn vehicles. that can inhibit The occurrence of situations where the rider feels uncomfortable caused by changes in the illumination distance. (Remedy) Sub-headlights for use in leaning vehicles wherein the sub-headlights consist of a sub-headlight light source that illuminates the front by relative to the vehicle width the area ahead and outside of the vehicle by Relative to the vehicle width direction, the brightness of the sub-headlight light source will change according to the vehicle tilt angle, when the vehicle tilt angle is tilted to one side relative to the width direction. of the vehicle to the set reference value for the sub-headlight light source. Sub headlight light source will light up with the first brightness and during the period from when the vehicle tilt angle reaches a small lower value Over the reference value is the time when the vehicle tilt angle reaches the reference value. The sub headlight light source will light up. with brightness less than the first brightness

Claims (1)

Disclaimer (all) which will not appear on the advertisement page: EDIT 29/03/2017 1. Sub-headlamps for use in tilting vehicles with sub-headlights. As well as a sub-headlamp light source illuminated on one side by Relative to the width direction of the vehicle Areas in front of and outside the vehicle by In relation to the width direction of the vehicle, the brightness of the sub headlight light source changes with the vehicle tilt angle, when the tilt angle of the vehicle is tilted to one side in relation to the width direction. Of the vehicle to the set reference value for the sub-headlight light source Sub headlamp light source Will light up with the first brightness And when the tilt angle of the vehicle is equal to or greater than the lower Than reference value and less than reference value Light source, the sub headlights will light up with gradual brightness. The first brightness increases in the distance by increasing the angle of inclination. 2. Sub-headlamp assembly according to claim 1, where when the vehicle tilt angle reaches the set lower value for the sub-headlamp light source. The illumination range of the sub headlight light source consists of the space above the horizontal line, when the vehicle tilt angle reaches the reference set for the sub headlight light source illumination distance of the sub headlight light source. It is positioned in the empty space under the horizontal line 3. Sub-headlamps according to claim 1 or 2, where the dark line of the sub-acquired headlights light source When the tilt angle of the vehicle reaches the reference value Set for the light source, the sub headlights are closer to the horizontal than the dark line of Light source, sub-acquired headlights When the tilt angle of the vehicle reaches the set lower value for the source Sub-headlamps 4. Sub-headlamps according to claim 1 or 2, where the sub-headlamp light sources are composed of many sub-headlight light sources. Each reference value and lower value are set for each sub-headlamp light source. 5. Sub-headlight subset according to claim 4, where the reference value of one sub-headlight light source is equal to or less than the value. Bottom of origin Another sub-headlamp at the large reference value at the next set after the value of one light source. Sub-page is set 6. Sub-headlamp sub-headlamps according to claim 1 or 2. Where the light axis of the sub-headlamp light source is fixed, the sub-headlamp light source with the optical axis is attached. Lights up with first brightness when the vehicle tilt angle reaches the set reference value for the sub headlight light source. And will light up too The brightness is less than the brightness at one time from when the vehicle's tilt angle reaches the lower value. Than the reference value to the time when the tilt angle of the vehicle reaches the reference value 7. Sub-headlamp system for use in tilting vehicles, Sub-headlamp system that includes: Sub-headlamp assembly according to any of the Claims 1 to 6; A control piece that changes the brightness of the sub-headlight light source according to the vehicle's tilt angle; And a sensing element that detects a variable intended for obtaining the vehicle's tilt angle, where when the tilt angle of the vehicle is tilted to one side in relation to the direction of Vehicle width to the set reference value for the sub headlight light source The control part will make Light source, the sub headlights light up with the first brightness. And at the moment since when the angle of inclination of The vehicle reaches a lower lower than the reference value to the time when the tilt angle of the vehicle reaches the reference value, the control part causes the sub-headlight light source to be lit with a lower brightness than the first brightness. According to claim 7, where the sub-headlight system will consist of Voltage detector that detects the supply voltage of the The voltage supplied from the battery in the vehicle to the sub-headlamp light source, control parts is performed: a comparison process for comparing the detector voltage. Detectable voltage with the battery reference voltage; And adjustment process for adjusting the brightness of the sub headlamp light source to Changes according to the vehicle tilt angle Based on the results of the comparison 9. Sub-headlamp system according to claim 8, where when the vehicle tilt angle is at least lower and less than the reference value, the control parts will perform an adjustment process. While when the vehicle's tilt angle is out of the control parts range, the adjustment process is not performed. 1 0. Tilt-in-turn vehicles, vehicles equipped with systems according to one of the claims 7 to 9 --- ------------------ 1.Sub headlamps for use in vehicles that are tilted into turn, where the sub headlamps Will consist of Light source, sub-headlights that illuminate the front by Relative to the width direction of the vehicle Area in front of and out of the vehicle by Correlate the width of the vehicle, the brightness of the sub headlight light source changes with the vehicle tilt angle, when the tilt angle of the vehicle is tilted to one side in relation to the width direction.
