Abstract:
A light guiding device includes a light guide body including a light incoupling side for incoupling light from a light source, a light outcoupling side, and a plurality of light guiding funnels, each of the light guiding funnels being provided with a reflection side that deflects light from the light incoupling side to the light outcoupling side of the light guide body, where the light guiding funnels are provided with light adjustment by bundling or focusing light within light outcoupling windows at the light outcoupling side, and at least one of a length of the light guiding funnels, a width of the light guiding funnels, a number of the light guiding funnels, a surface structure of the reflection side of the light guiding funnels, or an optical means provided at or by the reflection side is adapted to the light outcoupling windows for providing illumination areas.

Claim (Index 13):
A light guide for use in a light emitting device of a vehicle, comprising:\n a coupling surface for coupling light into the light guide; a first reflection surface which at least partially reflects incident light by a first angle; a second reflection surface which at least partially reflects incident light by a second angle; a decoupling surface for coupling out light; wherein the coupling surface, the first reflection surface, the second reflection surface and the decoupling surface are connected to one another, and wherein the coupling surface, the first reflection surface, the second reflection surface and the decoupling surface are arranged so that in response to light beams being irradiated at an irradiation direction, at least a first portion of the light beams are reflected by the first angle upon incidence with the first reflection surface, and are reflected by the second angle upon incidence with the second reflection surface so that light rays are directed towards the outcoupling surface and exit via an exit direction of the light guide which forms an obtuse angle with respect to the irradiation direction.
