Abstract

An outer lens 3 of a vehicle light-emitting component 1 includes a first molded part 31 , and a second molded part 42 that has a light transmitting property different from a light transmitting property of the first molded part 31 and that is formed integrally with the first molded part 31 . The second molded part 42 includes a second radial parting portion 45 adjacent to the first molded part 31 in a radial direction. The outer lens 3 satisfies the following element (1) or (2): (1) the second molded part 42 in the second radial parting portion 45 having a thickness that is gradually reduced in the radial direction toward the first molded part 31 ; (2) the second molded part 42 in the second radial parting portion 45 having a thickness not greater than 0.8 mm at a radial end portion facing the first molded part 31.

Claims (13)

1 . A vehicle light-emitting component comprising:

a light source; and

an outer lens that is formed of a resin material and is disposed on a front side of the light source, wherein

the outer lens includes a first molded part having a light transmitting property, and a second molded part that has a light transmitting property different from the light transmitting property of the first molded part and that is formed integrally with the first molded part by two-color molding,

the second molded part includes a second radial parting portion that is adjacent to the first molded part in a radial direction, and

the second molded part in the second radial parting portion has a thickness that is gradually reduced in the radial direction toward the first molded part.

2 . The vehicle light-emitting component according to claim 1 , wherein

the second molded part, in the second radial parting portion, is adjacent to a radially inner side of the first molded part.

3 . The vehicle light-emitting component according to claim 1 , wherein

the light transmitting property of the first molded part is higher than the light transmitting property of the second molded part.

4 . The vehicle light-emitting component according to claim 2 , wherein

the light transmitting property of the first molded part is higher than the light transmitting property of the second molded part, and

the first molded part includes a first periphery convex portion located radially outside the second radial parting portion, the first periphery convex portion further protruding toward the front side than the second molded part.
