Vehicle Fog Lamp
A vehicle fog lamp includes a light source and reflective surface sections surrounding the light source. A screen light distribution pattern formed by illuminating light that is emitted from the light source and is reflected on the reflective surface section is divided into an outer pattern part and an inner pattern part. An upper end part of the outer pattern part is disposed above an upper end part of the inner pattern part.
1 . A vehicle fog lamp that is disposed in a front end part of a vehicle and illuminates light forward, the vehicle fog lamp being configured to form a screen light distribution pattern by illuminating the light, the screen light distribution pattern being divided by a vertical line into an outer pattern part located outside direction of the vehicle from the vertical line and an inner pattern part located inside direction of the vehicle from the vertical line, and the outer pattern part having an upper end part that is disposed above an upper end part of the inner pattern part.
2 . The vehicle fog lamp of claim 1 , wherein the upper end part of the outer pattern part is disposed above a horizontal line.
3 . The vehicle fog lamp of claim 1 , wherein part of a road surface light distribution pattern formed by emitting the light on a road surface is disposed outside an outer edge of a road surface light distribution pattern formed by emitting low beams of head lamps provided with the vehicle on the road surface.
4 . The vehicle fog lamp of claim 2 , wherein part of a road surface light distribution pattern formed by emitting the light on a road surface is disposed outside an outer edge of a road surface light distribution pattern formed by emitting low beams of head lamps provided with the vehicle on the road surface.
5 . The vehicle fog lamp of claim 1 , comprising:
a light source; and
reflective surface sections disposed so as to surround the light source,
wherein an intersecting angle between an extended line of the reflective surface section that is disposed sideways from the light source and reflects the light to constitute the outer pattern part, and an optical axis of the fog lamp is smaller than an intersecting angle between an extended line of the reflective surface section disposed at other side location, and the optical axis.
6 . The vehicle fog lamp of claim 2 , comprising:
a light source; and
reflective surface sections disposed so as to surround the light source,
wherein an intersecting angle between an extended line of the reflective surface section that is disposed sideways from the light source and reflects the light to constitute the outer pattern part, and an optical axis of the fog lamp is smaller than an intersecting angle between an extended line of the reflective surface section disposed at other side location, and the optical axis.
7 . The vehicle fog lamp of claim 3 , comprising:
a light source; and
reflective surface sections disposed so as to surround the light source,
wherein an intersecting angle between an extended line of the reflective surface section that is disposed sideways from the light source and reflects the light to constitute the outer pattern part, and an optical axis of the fog lamp is smaller than an intersecting angle between an extended line of the reflective surface section disposed at other side location, and the optical axis.
8 . The vehicle fog lamp of claim 4 , comprising:
a light source; and
reflective surface sections disposed so as to surround the light source,
wherein an intersecting angle between an extended line of the reflective surface section that is disposed sideways from the light source and reflects the light to constitute the outer pattern part, and an optical axis of the fog lamp is smaller than an intersecting angle between an extended line of the reflective surface section disposed at other side location, and the optical axis.
9 . The vehicle fog lamp of claim 1 , comprising:
a light source; and
a front lens disposed forward of the light source,
wherein part of the front lens through which the light constituting the outer pattern part passes is formed in at least one deformed portion.
10 . The vehicle fog lamp of claim 2 , comprising:
a light source; and
a front lens disposed forward of the light source,
wherein part of the front lens through which the light constituting the outer pattern part passes is formed in at least one deformed portion.
11 . The vehicle fog lamp of claim 3 , comprising:
a light source; and
a front lens disposed forward of the light source,
wherein part of the front lens through which the light constituting the outer pattern part passes is formed in at least one deformed portion.
12 . The vehicle fog lamp of claim 4 , comprising:
a light source; and
a front lens disposed forward of the light source,
wherein part of the front lens through which the light constituting the outer pattern part passes is formed in at least one deformed portion.
13 . The vehicle fog lamp of claim 1 , comprising:
a light source; and
an internal lens disposed forward of the light source,
wherein part of the internal lens through which the light constituting the outer pattern part passes is formed in at least one deformed portion.
14 . The vehicle fog lamp of claim 2 , comprising:
a light source; and
an internal lens disposed forward of the light source,
wherein part of the internal lens through which the light constituting the outer pattern part passes is formed in at least one deformed portion.
15 . The vehicle fog lamp of claim 3 , comprising:
a light source; and
an internal lens disposed forward of the light source,
wherein part of the internal lens through which the light constituting the outer pattern part passes is formed in at least one deformed portion.
16 . The vehicle fog lamp of claim 4 , comprising:
a light source; and
an internal lens disposed forward of the light source,
wherein part of the internal lens through which the light constituting the outer pattern part passes is formed in at least one deformed portion.
17 . The vehicle fog lamp of claim 1 , comprising:
a first light source that emits light constituting both an outer pattern part and an inner pattern part; and
a second light source that emits light constituting only the outer pattern part.
18 . The vehicle fog lamp of claim 2 , comprising:
a first light source that emits light constituting both an outer pattern part and an inner pattern part; and
a second light source that emits light constituting only the outer pattern part.
19 . The vehicle fog lamp of claim 3 , comprising:
a first light source that emits light constituting both an outer pattern part and an inner pattern part; and
a second light source that emits light constituting only the outer pattern part.
20 . The vehicle fog lamp of claim 4 , comprising:
a first light source that emits light constituting both an outer pattern part and an inner pattern part; and
a second light source that emits light constituting only the outer pattern part.
