A lamp assembly having the lamp housing for containing a bulb and with an opening, optical elements installed in the housing in such a manner as to convert the light from the bulb into parallel rays of light, a condenser lens installed in the opening of the housing for converting the parallel rays of light into beams, the condenser lens being provided with a plurality of convex surfaces on the side facing to the optical elements and a plurality of concave surfaces on the opposite side of it corresponding to the convex surfaces, slit plate having portions pervious to light installed in the opening, the improvement comprising that both focuses of the convex surface and the concave surface are settled in such a manner that they are placed on the same point on the center line of the portion pervious to light of the slit plate.

Lamp assembly

Lamp assembly consisting of a housing with an opening containing a bulb, a frenel lens, a condenser lens and an outer lens installed in the housing nearest to the opening which allow the beams from the condenser lens to pass through plurality of portions pervious to light corresponding to the condenser lens respectively of which surfaces have the different tilt angles with each other, through which the refracted beams are radiated in such a manner that their refracted directions have in turn a gradual tendency of tilting.

A signal lamp having in its housing with an opening, a bulb, an optical elements installed in the housing for converting the light of the bulb into parallel rays of light, a colored lens being colored differently in plurality of regularly disposed patterns, a slit plate installed slidably and provided with portions pervious to light corresponding to said pattern in shape and a solenoid, by which the slit plate is shifted and the radiated light is converted in its color.
