Patent attributes
A headlight assembly includes a housing, a light source, a light shielding plate, and a light guiding plate. The housing defines a compartment, and includes a reflector and a lens disposed in front of the reflector. The light source is mounted in the compartment and is disposed on an optical axis. The light shielding plate is mounted between the light source and the lens. The light guiding plate is disposed below the optical axis. A first portion of light beams emitted upwardly is reflected by the reflector, passes over the light shielding plate and through the lens, which refracts the first portion of the light beams to form a first illuminating pattern. A second portion of the light beams passes through the light guiding plate and through the lens, which refracts the second portion of the light beams to result in a second illuminating pattern that is directed forwardly and upwardly.
