Vehicle lamp
First Claim
1. A vehicle lamp in which a lamp chamber is defined by a lamp body and a colorless transparent front lens mounted in a front opening of said lamp body, in which a light source is disposed in said lamp chamber, and in which a printed sheet is disposed inwardly of said front lens, said printed sheet comprising:
- a sheet main body of colorless synthetic resin having a colored transparent layer printed in a predetermined pattern on a surface of said sheet main body;
a convex three-dimensional colorless transparent layer;
a plating-like printed layer; and
a light shielding layer, wherein said colored transparent layer as a lower layer and said convex three-dimensional colorless transparent layer as an upper layer are formed in a laminated fashion on at least a part of an external surface of said sheet main body of said printed sheet, and wherein said plating-like printed layer as a lower layer and said light shielding layer as an upper layer are formed in a laminated fashion on an internal surface of said sheet main body at a location matching the location of said convex three-dimensional colorless transparent layer.

Abstract
A vehicle lamp includes: a lamp chamber defined by a lamp body and a colorless transparent front lens; a light source disposed in the lamp chamber; and a printed sheet disposed inwardly of the front lens. The printed sheet includes a colorless transparent sheet main body of synthetic resin having a pattern consisting of a predetermined colored transparent layer printed on an internal surface of the front lens. The colored transparent layer and a convex three-dimensional colorless transparent layer are formed in a laminated fashion as a lower layer and an upper layer, respectively, on an external surface of the sheet main body. A plating-like printed layer and a light shielding layer are formed in a laminated fashion as a lower layer and an upper layer, respectively, on an internal surface of the sheet main body at a location matching the location of the convex three-dimensional colorless transparent layer.

10. A method for forming a printed sheet for a lens of a vehicle lamp comprising:
-
forming a sheet main body of synthetic resin having a top surface and a bottom surface;
laminating at least one colored transparent layer onto the top surface of the sheet main body;
laminating a convex three-dimensional transparent layer onto the colored transparent layer;
laminating a plating-like printed layer onto the bottom surface of the sheet main body; and
laminating a light shielding layer onto the plating-like printed layer at a location matching the location of the convex three-dimensional transparent layer.
