Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] The present invention relates to a tail lamp assembly for a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a compact and aesthetic tail lamp assembly.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] Tail lamp is a safety aspect provided on vehicles which shows a rear edge of the vehicle to allow other drivers to appropriately gauze shape and size of the vehicle. It provides indications to rear approaching vehicles with the help of tail function and stop function. A tail lamp assembly is provided at a rear portion of the vehicle.
[003] The common problems faced with the tail lamp assembly in the prior art is direct visibility of the light emitting diodes present inside the tail lamp assembly, lack of three-dimensional signature shape to increase the safety as well as aesthetics of the vehicle, increased size of the lamp owing to large number of internal parts packed in a housing of the tail lamp assembly which increases the cost and weight of the vehicle and non-homogenous light output of the tail lamp assembly.
[004] In view thereof, there is a need-felt to provide a new and improved tail lamp assembly which overcomes at least the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[005] The present invention discloses a tail lamp assembly for a vehicle. The tail lamp assembly comprises a housing, at least two light sources, a collimator, a bezel and an outer lens.
[006] The housing comprises a base wall and a plurality of side walls. The plurality of side walls extends in the rear direction of the vehicle and defines an opening. The housing can be symmetrical or non-symmetrical in shape. The symmetrical shapes include, not being limited to, round, rectangular or trapezoidal.
[007] The at least two light sources comprise a first light source and a second light source. The first light source and the second light source are disposed in the housing. The first light source is adapted to emit a first light in the rear direction of the vehicle. Similarly, the second light source is disposed in the housing and emits a second light in the rear direction of the vehicle.
[008] The collimator is disposed in the housing. The collimator is adapted to receive, collimate and transmit the first light and the second light in the rear direction of the vehicle. The construction and working of the collimator are already known in the art and has not been discussed in detail for the sake of brevity.
[009] The bezel comprises an integrally molded inner lens. The inner lens comprises at least a first part and a second part. The first part is adapted to receive first light from the collimator and transmit the first light to an outer lens. The second part is adapted to receive second light from the collimator and transmit the second light to the outer lens. The outer lens is adapted to cover the opening defined by the housing. The outer lens transmits the received first light and the second light in the rear direction of the vehicle.
[010] In an embodiment, the first light source is a printed circuit board with plurality of first light emitting diodes. Similarly, the second light source is also a printed circuit board with plurality of second light emitting diodes.
[011] In an embodiment, a profile of the bezel corresponds to a profile of the opening defined by the plurality of side walls of the housing.
[012] In an embodiment, the first part of the inner lens is substantially C-shaped having a concave surface and a convex surface. Also, the second part of the inner lens is also substantially C-shaped having a concave and convex surface. At least a portion of the convex surface of the first part and the second part is molded with the bezel. The concave surface of the first part and the concave surface of the second part face each other. The first part and the second part of the inner lens create a three dimensional signature shape which not only increases aesthetics of the tail lamp assembly on illumination but also makes the tail lamp assembly visible at angles where the identification of vehicle is generally missed by a rider of another vehicle such as 45 degree angle. In other words, when the rider of another vehicle is viewing the tail lamp assembly from sides and the viewing angle between the eyes of the rider of another vehicle and the tail lamp assembly is 45 degrees, a conventional tail lamp assembly will not be visible to the rider of the another vehicle, However, in the present invention, owing to the three dimensional shape of the tail lamp assembly, the tail lamp assembly when viewed at the angle of 45 degrees.
[013] It is to be understood that the inner lens can be of any shape. The first part and the second part of the inner lens can be similar in shape or different in shape. The first part and the second part of the inner lens can be symmetrical or non-symmetrical.
[014] In an embodiment, the inner lens is a colored lens and the outer lens is a clear lens. In one non-limiting example, the inner lens is red in color. However, the color of the inner lens should not be construed as limiting.
[015] In an embodiment, a reflex reflector is assembled between the first part and the second part of the inner lens. Reflex reflectors are used in the vehicles for reflecting light from an approaching vehicle back to the driver of the approaching vehicle. The construction and working of reflex reflectors are known in the art and have not been discussed for sake of brevity.
[016] In an embodiment, the first light source and the second light source are fastened to the collimator to form a first sub-assembly. The first and the second light sources are fastened to the collimator using one or fasteners such as, not being limited to, screws, bolts and nuts. The first sub-assembly is fastened to the base wall of the housing.
[017] In an embodiment, the bezel with the integrated molded inner lens and the reflex reflector are fastened together to form a second sub-assembly. The second sub-assembly is fastened to the collimator such that second sub-assembly is between the outer lens and the collimator.
[018] In an embodiment, one or more air vents are provided in the housing such that heat dissipated by at least the first light source and the second light source is dissipated in the surrounding atmosphere.
[019] In an embodiment, the tail lamp assembly is attached to a rear portion of the vehicle. In one non-limiting example, the tail lamp assembly is mounted on a bracket disposed between a rear portion of side tubes of the vehicle.

[024] Figure 1 illustrates a left-side schematic view of a vehicle 100, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the tail lamp assembly 102 of the present invention is mounted on the rear portion of the vehicle 100.
[025] Figure 2 illustrates an exploded view of the tail lamp assembly 102, in accordance with the embodiment of the present invention.
[026] As shown, the tail lamp assembly 102 comprises a housing 104 capable of being mounted on a rear portion of the vehicle 100. The housing 104 comprises a base wall 104a and a plurality of side walls 104b defining an opening. The tail lamp assembly 102 comprises at least two light sources i.e., a first light source 106 and a second light source 108. The first light source 106 is adapted to emit a first light in the rear direction of the vehicle 100. The second light source 108 is also adapted to emit a second light in the rear direction of the vehicle 100. In one non-limiting example, each light source disposed in the housing 104 is a printed circuit board with a plurality of light emitting diodes. The first light source 106 is a printed circuit board with a plurality of first light emitting diodes and the second light source 108 is a printed circuit board with a plurality of second light emitting diodes.
[027] The tail lamp assembly 102 further comprises a collimator 110. As already known in the art, a collimator 110 is a device which narrows a beam of particles or waves. The collimator 110 collects all the light being emitted by the light sources and allows to pass the light through it for emitting out of the inner lens. The collimator 110 is disposed in the housing 104 and is adapted to receive the first light from the first light source 106 and the second light from the second light source 108. The collimator 110 collimates the first light and transmits the same in the rear direction of the vehicle 100. The collimator 110 collimates the second light and transmits the same in the rear direction of the vehicle 100. The construction and working of the collimator 100 are known in the art and has not been discussed in detail.
[028] The tail lamp assembly 102 further comprises a bezel 112. Profile of the bezel 112 generally corresponds to a profile of the opening defined by the plurality of the side walls 104b of the housing 104. In one non-limiting example, the profile of the opening is trapezoidal in shape and the bezel 112 is also trapezoidal in shape. The bezel 112 is affixed to the housing 104 and comprises an integrally molded inner lens 114. The inner lens 114 is adapted to receive the first light and the second light from the collimator 110 and transmit the first light and the second light in the rear direction of the vehicle 100. The inner lens 114 is shaped to achieve a three-dimensional signature look on illumination i.e., when the inner lens 114 receives light from the first light source 106 and the second light source 108 via the collimator 110. The number of light sources, shape of light sources and location of light sources depend on the shape of the inner lens 114.
[029] In one non-limiting example, as shown in Figure 3, the inner lens 114 comprises a C-shaped first part 114a and a C-shaped second part 114b, which on receiving light from the light sources 106, 108, creates a three-dimensional signature look. In order to confirm to the shape of the first part 114a and the second part 114b, two light sources 106, 108 are provided. The first light source 106 is adapted to provide light to the first part 114a of the inner lens 114 and the second light source 106 is adapted to provide light to the second part 114b of the inner lens 114. In the C-shaped first part and the C-shaped second part, cut-outs 115a, 115b are provided such that, the redlight emitted by the inner lens is not blocked when viewed from sides by rider of another vehicle at angles such as 45-degree angles. In case no cut outs are provided and the inner lens covers the entire opening defined by the plurality of the walls, the tail lamp assembly will not be visible to the rider of another vehicle viewing the tail lamp assembly at angles such as 45 degrees.
[030] In another non-limiting example, the inner lens 114 may comprise more than two parts for achieving a three-dimensional signature look. In such a scenario, more than two light sources may be disposed in the housing 104 to provide light to each part of the inner lens 114 to achieve a three-dimensional signature look. There may also be a possibility that a single light source having a plurality of light emitting diodes is shaped, located and operated in such manner that it is capable of independently providing light to each part of the inner lens 114 for achieving a three-dimensional signature look.
[031] The tail lamp assembly 102 further comprises an outer lens 116 adapted to cover the opening defined by the plurality of side walls 104b. The outer lens 116 is adapted to receive the first light and the second light transmitted by the inner lens 114. The outer lens 116 is further adapted to transmit the first light and the second light in the rear direction of the vehicle 100. The outer lens 116 keeps the inner components of the tail lamp assembly 102 safe from outside environment.
[032] The outer lens 116 is a clear lens and the inner lens 114 is a coloured lens. In one non-limiting example, the inner lens 114 is red in colour. However, this example should not be construed as limiting and the inner lens 114 can be of a colour different than a red colour.

The construction and working of reflex reflectors 118 are known in the art and have not been discussed in detail.
[034] In an embodiment, the housing 104 comprises one or more air vents 120 to dissipate heat generated by the one or more light emitting diodes. The number of air vents 120 in the housing 104 will depend on heat generated by the light sources 106, 108 disposed in the housing 104.
[035] In an embodiment, the first light source 106 and the second light source 108 are fastened to the collimator 110 to form a first sub-assembly. The first sub-assembly is fastened to the housing 104 via one or more fasteners such as, not being limited to, screws, nuts and bolts. The first sub-assembly is generally fastened to the base wall104a of the housing 104. The bezel 112 integrally molded with the inner lens 114 and the reflex reflector 118 are assembled to form a second sub-assembly. The second sub-assembly is fastened to the collimator 110 via one or more fasteners such as, not being limited to, screws, nuts and bolts.
[036] In an embodiment, the outer lens 116 is sealed, welded or glued to the housing 104 of the tail lamp assembly 102.
[037] It is to be understood that the tail lamp assembly 102 performs a tail function as well as stop function.
