Today’s Patent – Vehicle Light Apparatus

The said invention (US12173859B1) was invented by Ming-Chih Shih and patented by USPTO on May 15^th, 2024. Currently, it stands assigned to the TYC Brother Industrial Co Ltd.

The disclosed vehicle light apparatus features a light-emitting member, a light-entering lens with multiple incident structures, and a vertically extending light-exiting lens. The incident structures are designed to refract or reflect light rays such that their extension lines converge at a first focal region. The light-exiting lens includes a reflecting portion composed of spaced-apart, hyperboloid-shaped reflecting surfaces that redirect the light rays toward a second focal region, and a light-exiting portion positioned opposite the reflecting portion. The alignment of the first and second focal regions with the two focal points of the hyperboloid enhances light control and direction, offering improved functionality and a distinct aesthetic compared to conventional vehicle lights.
