Vehicular illumination lamp
First Claim
1. A vehicular illumination lamp, comprising:
- a projection lens disposed on an optical axis, the optical axis extends in a longitudinal direction of the lamp, a primary light source unit, and a secondary light source unit, said primary and secondary light source units disposed rearwards of the projection lens, wherein the primary light source unit comprises;
a primary light emitting device disposed near the optical axis at a position situated further rearwards than a rear focal point of the projection lens, a primary reflector disposed in such a manner as to cover the primary light emitting device from above so as to reflect light from the primary light emitting device towards a front of the lamp and towards the optical axis, and a primary mirror member having an upwardly oriented reflecting surface, which extends rearwards from near the rear focal point of the projecting lens substantially along the optical axis so as to reflect part of reflected light from the primary reflector upwards, and wherein the secondary light source unit comprises;
a secondary mirror member having a downwardly oriented reflecting surface, which extends obliquely downwardly from a front end edge of the upwardly oriented reflecting surface towards a rear of the lamp, a secondary light emitting device disposed below the optical axis, and a secondary reflector adapted to reflect light from the secondary light emitting device upwards so as to cause the light so reflected to substantially converge on a location on the downwardly oriented reflecting surface, which lies near the rear focal point of the projecting lens.

Abstract
An illumination lamp including a projection lens 12 and primary and secondary light source units 14, 16 are disposed rearwards of a projection lens 12 disposed on an optical axis Ax, which extends in a longitudinal direction of a lamp. The primary light source unit 14 includes a primary reflector 34 and an upwardly oriented reflecting surface 36a which extends rearwards from the rear focal point F of the projection lens 12. The secondary light source unit 16 includes a secondary reflector 44 that reflects light upwards so as to be caused to substantially converge on a location lying near the rear focal point F on a downwardly oriented reflecting surface 46a, which extends obliquely downwards from a front end edge of the upwardly oriented reflecting surface 36a towards a rear of the lamp.
