Abstract:
A multi-chamber lamp for vehicles comprising: a lamp housing having a plurality of reflectors, a common closure pane for the reflectors and at least one intermediate pane which extends over an entire light-emergence area of at least one of the reflectors, wherein at least partial areas of the closure pane as well as the at least one intermediate pane are smooth optics-free areas, free of optical functions so as to pass light therethrough without substantially modifying the light to thereby allow a reflection surface of the at least one of the reflectors to be clearly seen therethrough, the at least one intermediate pane supporting a shield device for a light source of the at least one reflector and surrounding the shield device with the smooth optics-free area of the intermediate pane, wherein the at least one reflector is fully surrounded by a cover apparatus which shields an outer peripheral rim of the smooth optics-free area of the at least one intermediate pane and shields an interior of the lamp housing from being viewed from outside the lamp housing;wherein the shield device is positioned in a central area of the at least one intermediate pane, with the shield device's outer peripheral rim corresponding in shape to a configuration of a backward-turned rim, extending toward the reflectors, of the cover apparatus bordering on the intermediate pane.
