Abstract:
A motor vehicle light, comprising a concavely curved reflector; a light source inserted in said reflector so that light emitted by said light source is reflected by said reflector in a predetermined direction; a cover element arranged after said light source as considered in said direction and at least partially covering said light source when viewing the motor vehicle light from outside; a light-permeable disk for covering the motor vehicle light in said direction and which is free from optical profiles, said reflector being shaped so that the light emitted by said light source and reflected by said reflector passes on said cover element at least substantially unaffected, said reflector having an apex region with such a curvature that the light emitted by said light source is reflected by said apex region as divergingly extending light rays with regard to an optical axis of said reflector, said reflector also having a further region which follows said apex region and is arranged at a greater distance from said optical axis and has such a curvature that the light emitted by said light source can be reflected by said further region as convergently extending light rays with regard to said optical axis, said curvature of said further region of said reflector being selected so that the light emitted by said source and reflected by further region, with an increasing distance from said optical axis is reflected as increasingly more convergingly extending light rays, the curvature of said apex region of said reflector being selected so that the light emitted by said light source and reflected by said apex region, with an increasing distance from said optical axis is reflected as increasingly less divergingly extending light rays, said reflector having an edge region which adjoins said further region and is arranged at a greater distance from said optical axis and has a curvature such that the light emitted by said light source and reflected by said edge region is reflected as light rays selected from the groups consisting of light rays extending substantially parallel to said optical axis and as divergingly extending light rays with regard to said optical axis.
