Abstract:
1. A side-illuminating light guide device for a vehicle, the side-illuminating light guide device comprising: a light conducting rod; at least one light source connected to at least one end of the light conducting rod; at least one first reflecting part located on the light conducting rod and haying a first surface and a first curved reflecting surface toward the light source, the first curved reflecting surface being closer to the light source than the first surface; and at least second reflecting part located on the light conducting rod and having a second surface and a second curved reflecting surface toward the light source, the second curved reflecting surface being closer to the light source than the second surface; wherein a first distance between the first reflecting part and the light source is less than a second distance between the second reflecting part and the light source, and a curvature of the second curved reflecting surface of the second reflecting part is greater than a curvature of the first curved reflecting surface of the first reflecting part; and wherein a distal end of the first surface of the first reflecting part is immediately adjacent to a distal end of the second curved reflecting surface of the second reflecting part to thereby form a pointed end with the distal ends of the first surface of the first reflecting part and the second curved reflecting surface of the second reflecting part, and further form a roughly triangular structure between the first reflecting part and the second reflecting part.
