Signal Indicator Lamp
First Claim
1. A signal indicator lamp including an LED mounting substrate on which a plurality of sets of LEDs are mounted in a long-side direction at a predetermined interval, and made up of a plurality of consecutively provided lens units with cylindrical light guiding radiation portions provided so as to enclose the LED mounting substrate, whereinthe LED is mounted at a position biased to an end portion side from a central position in a short-side direction of the LED mounting substrate,in the light guiding radiation portion, a slit portion is defined which is cut away in an axial direction such that the LED is arranged therein when the lens unit encloses the LED mounting substrate, anda pair of opposite end faces of the slit portion are provided as incident surfaces of LED radiation light, and light made incident into the lens unit from the incident surfaces is guided by the light guiding radiation portion, and is radiated outward in the entire circumferential region thereof.

Abstract
A signal indicator lamp includes an LED mounting substrate 2, and is made up of a plurality of consecutively provided lens units 3 with cylindrical light guiding radiation portions 20 provided so as to enclose the LED mounting substrate 2. An LED 14 is mounted at a position biased to the side of an end portion 2D from a central position 2C in a short-side direction S of the LED mounting substrate 2. In the light guiding radiation portion 20, a slit portion 23 is defined which is cut away in an axial direction X such that the LED 14 is arranged therein when the lens unit 3 encloses the LED mounting substrate 2. Light made incident into the lens unit 3 from incident surfaces 24 being a pair of opposite end faces of the slit portion 23 is guided by the light guiding radiation portion 20, and is radiated outward in the entire circumferential region thereof.
