Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1288565A1] Beam non or weak deviators (22,42) consist of facing pairs of reflecting parts. The projection (P) of rear edge (22A;R, 42A;R) from front face (22A,42A) of a reflecting part along direction parallel to optical axis (X-X) on adjacent part is situated at rear of front edge (22R;A,42R;A) of rear face (22R,42R) of adjacent part. Reflecting parts are metallized strips on two faces. Strips are thin and plane and are arranged in star formation around optical axis (X-X). The automobile lighting and signaling has a bulb and reflector (10) forming a beam along an axis (X-X), projected through a front glass (30). Non or weak deviating parts (22,42) are placed in front of the light source so as to transmit light rays into a direction perpendicular to their propagation direction. The glass (30) is smooth or weak deviating. The parts (22,42) form a mask (20,40) so that the light source cannot be seen when the glass is closed.
