LIGHTING OR SIGNALLING DEVICE WITH IMPROVED APPEARANCE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A lighting or signalling device for a motor vehicle, comprising a light source and a light guide associated with said light source, light rays issuing from said light source entering said light guide through an entry face and propagating in said light guide in order to emerge therefrom substantially parallel to a general direction of emission by an exit face, said light guide comprising at least one internal intermediate wall or a lateral wall on which a plurality of said light rays undergo at least one total reflection, wherein said light source is associated with an optical system such that said light rays are emitted over 360°
- around an axis of said light source, in an angle of approximately ±
30°
with respect to the horizontal plane perpendicular to the optical axis of said light source.

Abstract
A lighting or signalling device for a motor vehicle, comprising a light source and a light guide associated with the light source, the light rays issuing from the light source entering the light guide through an entry face and propagating in the light guide in order to emerge therefrom substantially parallel to a general direction of emission through an exit face. The guide comprises at least one internal intermediate wall or a lateral wall on which the light rays undergo at least one total reflection.

10. A vehicle light guide for use on a motor vehicle comprising:
-
a light guide body having an entry face for situating in operative relationship with a light source that is capable of emitting light rays and an exit face; and
at least one internal wall for causing a reflection of said light rays in a predetermined angle and in a generally horizontal plane relative to an axis of said light source. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
