Abstract

A pattern-display signal device installed in a motor vehicle for synchronous operation with one directional light is disclosed to include a flat base having a receiving space provided with a reflector, a light transmitting substrate pressed on the reflector in the base, LEDs mounted in the base and aimed at one side of the substrate for synchronous operation with the directional light, a pattern film having a design therein and bonded to the substrate, a lens covered on the pattern film, a first adhesive adhering the lens to the base, and a second adhesive adhering the lens to the motor vehicle.

Claims

1. A pattern-display signal device installed in a motor vehicle and electrically connected with one directional light of the motor vehicle to a control circuit for synchronous operation with said directional light, the pattern-display signal device comprising:

a flat base, said base comprising a peripheral flange and a receiving space surrounded by said peripheral flange;

a reflector mounted in a bottom side of said receiving space of said base;

a substrate pressed on said reflector inside said receiving space of said base, said substrate admitting light;

a light source mounted in said receiving space of said base at one side of said substrate, said light source comprising a circuit board electrically connected with said directional light to said control circuit, and a plurality of light emitting diodes installed in said circuit board and aimed at one lateral side of said substrate;

a pattern film bonded to said substrate, said pattern film having a design therein;

a lens covered on said pattern film;

first adhesive means adhering said lens to the peripheral flange of said base; and

second adhesive means adhering said lens to said motor vehicle.

2. The pattern-display signal device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said base has a peripheral notch in said peripheral flange;

said circuit board of said light source comprises an electric wire extended out of said peripheral notch of said base for connection to said control circuit.

3. The pattern-display signal device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said substrate has a plurality of notches in one lateral side thereof adapted to accommodate said light emitting diodes.

4. The pattern-display signal device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first adhesive means and said second adhesive means are double-sided adhesive tapes.

5. A pattern-display signal device installed in a motor vehicle and electrically connected with one directional light of the motor vehicle to a control circuit for synchronous operation with said directional light, the pattern-display signal device comprising:

a flat base, said base comprising a peripheral flange and a receiving space surrounded by said peripheral flange;

a reflector mounted in a bottom side of said receiving space of said base;

a substrate pressed on said reflector inside said receiving space of said base, said substrate admitting light;

a light source mounted in said receiving space of said base at one side of said substrate, said light source comprising a circuit board electrically connected with said directional light to said control circuit, and a plurality of light emitting diodes installed in said circuit board and aimed at one lateral side of said substrate;

a pattern film bonded to said substrate, said pattern film having a design therein; and

an adhesive sheet member fastened to said base and covered on said light source and said pattern film and adhered to the rear windshield of said motor vehicle, said adhesive sheet member having an opening corresponding to the design of said pattern film.
