Abstract:
1. An interior illumination lamp comprising: a light source for emitting a beam; a reflecting plate which includes two reflecting surfaces having an identical shape symmetrically with respect to each other about a boundary line of said reflecting plate, wherein one of the reflecting surfaces reflects the beam from the light source in a first direction, and the other of the reflecting surfaces reflects the beam from the light source in a second direction which differs from the first direction; and a lens for transmitting the beam from said light source and the beam from said reflecting plate therethrough, the lens having an optical axis, wherein said reflecting plate is disposed in offset relation to the optical axis of said lens in a rearward direction and said light source is disposed in offset relation to the boundary line of said reflecting plate in the rearward direction so that an optical axis of the beam radiated from said light source toward the lens and an optical axis of the reflected light reflected from the one of said two reflecting surfaces toward the lens intersect the optical axis of said lens in a forward direction.
