A two-wheel vehicle headlamp including a lamp body having a concave portion that is opened toward the front, a translucent cover that covers the front open portion of the lamp body, and a reflector which is installed inside the concave portion of the lamp body and to which light sources are attached. The headlamp further includes a light transmitting member provided along the peripheral edge portion of die reflector and between the open edge portion of the lamp body and the peripheral edge portion of the reflector, a position bulb provided in the lamp body, and a reflective portion formed in an area that substantially faces, from behind, the light transmitting member of the lamp body. Wit this structure, light of the position bulb is reflected by the reflective portion, transmitted through the light transmitting member, and radiated forward to illuminate the entire light transmitting member.

Headlamp for two-wheel vehicle

A vehicle lamp including light sources, a reflective mirror for effecting desired light distribution by reflecting light emitted from the light sources and a lens disposed in front of the reflective mirror. In the vehicle lamp, the reflective mirror has a dummy portion which makes no contribution to effecting light distribution and is exposed to the outside through the lens, and an indicative mark for identifying the lighting device is formed integrally with the dummy portion. As the indicative mark can be visually recognized from the outside through the lens, the indicative mark needed not be formed on the lens. When lighting devices having different light distribution characteristics are provided, it is only needed to produce reflective mirrors respectively having corresponding indicative marks and the rest of the parts including the lens and the lamp body can be provided for common use.

Vehicle lamp with indicative mark

A lubricating structure for an automatic transmission includes a dam defining an oil reservoir for storing a lubricating oil and lubricating a taper roller bearing. The oil reservoir is located in an annualr space between a non-rotational hollow cylindrical member and a boss of an output gear. The taper roller bearing is located axially between the output gear and the dam. The dam has such a height as to immerse part or all of the end of each taper roller at a lowest position.
