DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[00010] Typically, the two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicles, which are colloquially referred to motorcycle, scooter, trike, auto-rickshaw etc., are provided with a headlamp that is used for providing visibility to the rider of the vehicle. This headlamp generally includes a low-beam and a high-beam that the rider can switch between depending on driving condition/surroundings. With time, the vehicles are additionally provided with a daytime running lamp or pilot lamps that offer better conspicuity of the vehicle during all the time.
[00011] In some vehicles, the headlamp is provided with a split type headlamp, where in a low-beam condition one of the light is operated and in high-beam condition both the lights are operated. Such system either use filament bulbs, Light emitted diode (LED) type lamps, or projector type lamps with LEDs or LASERS. Generally, the filament type lamps are high power consuming and take ample space in the headlamp due to the inherent constructional requirements. Moreover, such split type headlamps that are having the vertical tend to offer poor visibility, especially in case of low-beam operation. Thereby making the headlamp bulkier. Whereas, the projector lamps are complex and costlier due to the complex lenses and use of solenoids that are used for switching between high-beam or low-beam or the like. Moreover, the split type headlamps are typically implements in vehicles having an aerodynamic fairing or at least a cowling that enclosed the headlamp. Mostly, in these vehicles, the headlamp is supported by a stay that is typically welded to the frame assembly or other structural members of the vehicle thereby increasing the pars and also making the assembly bulkier.
[00012] In some other type of vehicle as aforementioned, where a fairing is not present, the headlamp is still enclosed in a headlamp cowl of the vehicle. In such vehicles, the headlamp is mounted onto the steering assembly of the vehicle. This assembly requires higher number of components increasing assembly time and part manufacturing and part handling requirements, which makes the process and assembly costlier. Also, in some other vehicles, the headlamp is provided with a partition forming low-beam and for high-beam where the portions are selectively irradiated by using light sources disposed separately, which requires more mounting requirements making the headlamp design complex Further, such partition requires a cowling assembly, which an added part. Accommodation of such an assembly makes the system bulkier. Moreover, such headlamps use separate reflector with multiple layers or an integrated reflector with additional reflector components that increases the number of components. This affects even the servicing, as the servicing personal are to be specifically trained to operate such complex assemblies. Moreover, any minute variations, even small degree of variations, would change the direction of the light rays illuminated undesired portions of the road conditions, causing serious threat to the rider and also to the riders or vehicles coming behind or in opposite direction.
[00013] Moreover, in the aforementioned types of vehicle, the headlamp assembly makes headlamp bulkier creating odd proportions at the front of the vehicle and at the same time adding weight on the steering assembly affecting maneuverability of the vehicle. Moreover, such headlamp requires complex routing and heat sink requirements. Also, such headlamp assemblies extending either in vehicle width direction or in vehicle longitudinal direction block the portions of the road that is below in the vicinity of the headlamp causing the rider and vehicle to ride in blind spots that creates fatigue to the user and also affects the suspension and other components of the vehicle.
[00014] In addition, such vehicles are provided with a strip type of daytime running lamps that are disposed either above or below the headlamp or disposed on either sides of the headlamp. Moreover, such strip type or split type daytime running lamps offer poor conspicuity as the vehicle type or layout cannot be gauged by the person approaching the vehicle or when the vehicle is approaching. Moreover, some pilot lamps are disposed independent of layout of remaining portion of the headlamp whereby not adding any significance especially during night operating conditions of the vehicle.
[00015] Thus, there is a need for addressing the aforementioned and other problems in the port art. The headlamp should be capable of providing a compact layout at the sometime capable of providing a desired lighting condition for the rider and conspicuity for others.
