Patent ID: 8419247

Claim:
A vehicle light comprising: a light source; a projector lens located in front of the light source, the projector lens having an optical axis in a front-to-rear direction of a vehicle body to which the vehicle light is configured to be installed, the projector lens having a focus located in between the light source and the projector lens; a first reflecting surface located rearward of the projector lens, the first reflecting surface configured to reflect light beams emitted from the light source toward the projector lens so that reflected light beams are converged substantially at the focus of the projector lens; a light-shielding member including an upper edge configured to be located substantially at the focus of the projector lens, the light-shielding member also configured to shield a portion of the reflected light beams directed from the first reflecting surface to the projector lens; a second reflecting surface located on a rear surface of the light-shielding member and configured to reflect a portion of the reflected light beams directed from the first reflecting surface to the projector lens so as to direct the light beams in a direction outward from the optical axis of the projector lens; and a third reflecting surface located in a direction outward from the optical axis of the projector lens, the third reflecting surface configured to reflect the light beams reflected by the second reflecting surface to an outside area around and below the projector lens to project the light beams forward.
