Abstract:
A vehicle lamp having a multi-reflex optical system and an optical axis, comprising:a light source; at least one pair of ellipse group reflecting surfaces, each ellipse group reflecting surface being substantially symmetrical relative to the light source and having a first focus in the vicinity of the light source, a second focus, and a longitudinal axis substantially perpendicular to the optical axis of the vehicle lamp; two pairs of parabolic group reflecting surfaces, at least one of the parabolic group reflecting surfaces having a focus on the second focus of a corresponding ellipse group reflecting surface, and a longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the optical axis of the vehicle lamp; and at least one shade located in the vicinity of one of the second foci of the ellipse group reflecting surfaces to provide a predetermined shape to luminous flux directed from the corresponding ellipse group reflecting surface.
