Abstract:
A vehicle indicator lamp comprising: a light source disposed on an optical axis of said lamp, a reflector with a reflecting surface formed so as to diffusion-reflect light from said light source forward, and a transparent plain cover provided in front of said reflector, characterized in that a horizontal deflection lens portion is formed on a center area of said transparent plain cover and in the vicinity of said optical axis so as to horizontally deflection-permeate direct light from said light source in a direction away from said optical axis and said reflecting surface is formed so as to irradiate substantially an entire amount of light reflecting from said reflecting surface to a peripheral area at an outer periphery of the center area of said transparent plain cover, and wherein light reflecting from the reflecting surface is radially converged relative to the optical axis and light reflecting from the reflecting surface permeates through the transparent plain cover which is once vertically and horizontally converged and then irradiated as diffusion light forward, and said horizontal deflection lens portion is formed with a plurality of lens elements divided into vertical stripes.
