摘要 An automotive light including a rear shell which is substantially tub-shaped and is structured so as to be fixed onto the vehicle body; a front lenticular half-shell which is provided with at least one portion made of transparent or semitransparent material, and is arranged to close the mouth of the rear shell; and at least a first main light source which is structured so as to emit light when electricity powered, and is placed within the rear shell in such a position as to backlight a corresponding transparent or semitransparent portion of the front lenticular half-shell; the automotive light further including at least one light-guiding section-bar made of light-conducting material, which is placed on the bottom of a corresponding slot or groove specifically obtained within the rear shell; and at least one auxiliary light source which is structured so as to emit light when electricity powered, and is placed within the rear shell so as to direct the emitted light directly into the body of the light-guiding section-bar; the light-guiding section-bar made of light-conducting material being provided with a cross section substantially circular or elliptic in shape, and with a longitudinal flat bevel facing the bottom of the slot or groove and structured so as to cause the light travelling in the light-guiding section-bar to exit towards the transparent or semitransparent portion of the lenticular half-shell above the light-guiding section-bar.

主权项 1. Automotive light (1) comprising a substantially tub-shaped, rear shell (2) which is structured so as to be fixed to the vehicle body; a front lenticular half-shell (3) which is provided with at least one portion made of either transparent or semitransparent material, and is arranged to close a mouth (2a) of the rear shell (2); and at least a first light source (4) which is structured so to emit light when electricity powered, and is located within the rear shell (2) in a position such as to backlight a corresponding transparent or semitransparent portion of the front lenticular half-shell (3); the automotive light (1) further comprising at least one light-guiding section-bar (6) made of light-conducting material, which is located on the bottom of a corresponding slot or groove (7) specifically realized in the rear shell (2), underneath a corresponding transparent or semitransparent portion of the front lenticular half-shell (3); and at least a second light source (8), which is structured so to emit light when electricity powered, and is located within the rear shell (2), next to at least one of the two ends of the light-guiding section-bar (6), so as to direct the emitted light directly into the body of said light-guiding section-bar (6); the automotive light (1) being characterized in that the light-guiding section-bar (6) made of light-conducting material has a cross section substantially circular or elliptic in shape, and is provided with a longitudinal flat bevel (6a) that faces the bottom of the slot or groove (7), and is structured so as to cause the exit of the light travelling within the light-guiding section-bar (6) towards the transparent or semitransparent portion of the lenticular half-shell (3) overhanging the light-guiding section-bar (6); and by further comprising an intermediate, converging lenticular body (9) which is arranged to close the slot or groove (7) accommodating the light-guiding section-bar (6), so as to be crossed by the light coming out from the elongated slot or groove (7), and is shaped so as to divert/focus/collimate the light rays (r) coming out from the light-guiding section-bar (6) in a new direction locally substantially perpendicular to the surface of the front lenticular half-shell (3).
