Lens assembly for a vehicle

摘要

A lens assembly for a vehicle includes a light source, a preliminary lens, and a bending lens. The light source emits a stream of light rays. The preliminary lens has an entry surface and an exit surface disposed opposite the entry surface. The preliminary lens is disposed in adjacent relationship to the light source such that the entry surface faces the light source. The bending lens has a receptor surface and an emission surface disposed opposite the receptor surface. The receptor surface of the bending lens faces the exit surface of the preliminary lens. At least one optic extends from the emission surface of the bending lens. Each optic is configured to bend a portion of the stream of parallel light rays travelling therethrough such that a stream of bent light rays is emitted from the optic.

1. A lens assembly for a vehicle, the lens assembly comprising:
a light source configured to emit a stream of scattered light rays; a preliminary lens having an entry surface and an exit surface disposed opposite the entry surface; wherein the preliminary lens is disposed in adjacent relationship to the light source such that the entry surface faces the light source and is configured to receive at least a portion of the stream of light rays; wherein the preliminary lens is configured to straighten the stream of light rays and emit a stream of parallel light rays through the exit surface; a plurality of bending lenses disposed in spaced and adjacent relationship to one another; wherein each of the plurality of bending lenses includes a receptor surface and an emission surface disposed opposite the receptor surface; wherein one of the plurality of bending lenses is disposed in spaced and adjacent relationship to the preliminary lens such that the receptor surface of the one of the plurality of bending lenses faces the exit surface of the preliminary lens; wherein the receptor surface of each of the plurality of bending lenses is configured to receive at least a portion of the stream of parallel light rays; and at least one optic extending from the emission surface of each of the plurality of bending lenses, such that the light refracted therethrough does not enter the at least one optic of the subsequent bending lenses; wherein the at least one optic is configured to bend a portion of the stream of light rays travelling therethrough such that a stream of bent light rays are emitted from the optic.
