Abstract:
A vehicular signal lamp, comprising:a light source bulb, a reflector for reflecting light from said light source bulb in a forward direction, and a transparent front lens provided at a forward side of said reflector, a reflecting surface of said reflector comprising a plurality of reflecting elements for diffusing and reflecting in right and left directions light from said light source bulb, each of said reflecting elements being constructed such that a maximum diffusion angle to at least one side in right and left directions of reflected light from said reflecting element is smaller the nearer said reflecting element is located to an end portion on said one side in said reflecting surface, wherein a horizontal tangential angle of each of said reflecting elements at both right and left end portions of said reflecting elements is determined so that reflected light directed at a left direction maximum diffusion angle from said reflecting elements converges to a left side critical viewing position, and reflected light directed at a right direction maximum diffusion angle from said reflecting elements converges to a right side critical viewing position.
