Abstract:
An ultrasonic sensor ( 10 ) includes a transmission and reception unit ( 11 ) for transmitting and receiving an ultrasonic wave, a holder ( 12 ) and an attachment ( 13 ) for fixing the transmission and reception unit ( 11 ) to the bumper ( 1 ) of a vehicle, and light source units ( 14 a,  14 b ) mounted in a back side of the bumper ( 1 ). The holder ( 12 ) is shaped so as to be exposed on a surface of the bumper ( 1 ), and guides light beams emitted by the light source units ( 14 a,  14 b ) to the surface of the bumper ( 1 ), to project the light beams from a light projecting surface ( 12 a ) to the outside of the vehicle.

Claim (Index 7):
The ultrasonic sensor according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a supporting portion for supporting either the optical element or the one or more light sources, with the optical element or the one or more light sources oriented to face any direction; and an actuator for changing a direction of the light projected to the outside of the vehicle by changing the direction toward which either the optical element or the one or more light sources are oriented.
