Abstract (en)

Vehicle light (4) comprising a container body (8) that delimits a containment seat (12) housing a plurality of light sources (16), the container body (8) containing a light guide (32) having a light guide body (36) extending from a first to a second end (40,44) along a main direction of extension (S-S), a lenticular body (20) applied on the container body (8) so as to close said containment seat (12), the lenticular body (20) being made from transparent or semi-transparent or translucent material with respect to a beam of light (F', F") emitted by said light sources (16). The plurality of light sources (16) comprise a first light source (16A) facing said first end (40) so as to inject a first beam of light (F') in the light guide (32) through said first end (40) and a second light source (16B) facing said second end (44), so as to inject a second light beam (F") in the light guide (32) through said second end (44). The light guide body (36) is shaped to transmit by total internal reflection the beams of light (F', F'') injected into it, and comprises a plurality of extractor or deflector elements (60',60") configured to extract the light beams (F', F") according to a main longitudinal direction (X-X) towards the lenticular body (20). The light guide body (36) comprises a first appendage (64) which forks from the light guide body (36) on the side of the first end (40) so as to position itself, with respect to the longitudinal direction (X-X), between the light guide body (36) and the lenticular body (20) in order to cover the first light source (16A), wherein the light guide body (36) comprises a second appendage (68) which forks from the light guide body (36) on the side of the second end (44) so as to position itself, with respect to the longitudinal direction (X-X), between the light guide body (36) and the lenticular body (20) in order to cover the second light source (16B). The light guide (32) being shaped so that the first appendage (64) receives at least partially the second beam (F") produced by the second light source (16B) and extracts it along the main direction (X-X), and the second appendage (68) receives at least partially the first beam of light (F') produced by the first light source (16A) and extracts it along the main direction (X-X).
