Abstract

A grille for a car grille includes a frame, a filter net mounted on a side of the frame, and a light emitting device mounted between the frame and the filter net. Thus, the arcuate convex faces of the reflective plate of the light emitting device reflect the light rays firm the light emitting members toward the pattern plate, so that the light rays from the light emitting members are projected onto the pattern plate evenly and smoothly, thereby enhancing the outstanding appearance of the grille when the car is driven at the night.

Claims (29)

1. A grille for a vehicle, comprising:

a frame;

a filter net mounted on a side of the frame; and

a light emitting device mounted between the frame and the filter net;

wherein the light emitting device includes a reflective plate, a pattern plate, and a circuit board having a plurality of light emitting members;

the reflective plate of the light emitting device has a first side rested on the pattern plate and provided with a plurality of arcuate convex faces directed toward the pattern plate;

the reflective plate of the light emitting device has a second side rested on the filter net and provided with a reflective sheet.

2. The grille in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the reflective plate of the light emitting device is located between the frame and the filter net.

3. The grille in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the pattern plate of the light emitting device is a transparent plate.

4. The grille in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the pattern plate of the light emitting device is located between the frame and the reflective plate.

5. The grille in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the circuit board of the light emitting device is located between the pattern plate and the reflective plate.

6. The grille in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the reflective plate of the light emitting device has a shape and a size the same as that of the pattern plate.

7. The grille in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the arcuate convex faces of the reflective plate of the light emitting device reflect light rays from the light emitting members toward the pattern plate, so that the light rays from the light emitting members are projected onto the pattern plate.

8. The grille in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the circuit board of the light emitting device has a side directed toward the reflective plate and provided with the light emitting members located between the pattern plate and the reflective plate.

9. The grille in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the filter net has a shape and a size the same as that of the frame.

10. A grille for a vehicle, comnrising:

a frame;

a filter net mounted on a side of the frame; and

a light emitting device mounted between the frame and the filter net;

wherein the light emitting device includes a reflective plate, a pattern plate, and a circuit board having a plurality of light emitting members;

the circuit board of the light emitting device is mounted on a bottom of the reflective plate;

the bottom of the reflective plate of the light emitting device is formed with a plurality of arcuate recesses to receive the light emitting members of the circuit board.

11. A grille for a vehicle comprising:

a frame;

a filter net mounted on a side of the frame; and

a light emitting device mounted between the frame and the filter net;

wherein the light emitting device includes a reflective plate, a pattern plate, and a circuit board having a plurality of light emitting members;

the frame has a periphery formed with a plurality of screw bores, the pattern plate of the light emitting device has a periphery formed with a plurality of through holes aligning with the screw bores of the frame, the reflective plate of the light emitting device has a periphery formed with a plurality of through holes aligning with the through holes of the pattern plate, and the filter net has a periphery formed with a plurality of through holes aligning with the screw bores of the frame.

12. The grille in accordance with claim 11 , wherein the frame, the light emitting device and the filter net are combined by a plurality of locking screws which are extended through the respective through holes of the filter net, the respective through holes of the reflective plate of the light emitting device, the respective through holes of the pattern plate of the light emitting device, and screwed into the respective screw bores of the frame.
