Description

1 parts
›FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of…

FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a left vehicle headlight (as viewed from the front of the vehicle, the right vehicle headlight being a mirror of the right and is not illustrated). The lens has been rendered transparent using computer software to better illustrate the decorative reflective surface under the lens;

FIG. 2 is a left side elevational view of the vehicle headlight (the lens is still transparent in this view);

FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of a left vehicle headlight with the lens having been rendered opaque to better illustrate the decorative surface on the lens;

FIG. 4 is a left side elevational view of the vehicle headlight (the lens is still opaque in this view);

FIG. 5 is a right side elevational view of the vehicle headlight;

FIG. 6 is a top down plan view of the vehicle headlight illustrating the interior through the outer clear lens;

FIG. 7 is bottom up plan view of the vehicle headlight; and,

FIG. 8 is an elevational view of the vehicle headlight (as viewed from the rear of the vehicle), illustrating the Class B surface. This view is not claimed and is used for secondary filing.

The vehicle headlight is styled independently of adjacent vehicle panels. To the extent that any feature lines are illustrated, they are intended to illustrate the crest and valley of the feature and are not necessarily sharp bends in the part. Shading is used to illustrate the curvature of the part and not color. Areas shown in or sounded by broken lines are not claimed. The surface normally visible when the vehicle headlight is attached to a vehicle is called the “Class A” surface is claimed. The surface not normally visible when the vehicle headlight is attached to a vehicle is called the “Class B” surface and is not claimed. Any functional features of the vehicle headlight are not claimed. Views are orthogonal projections unless otherwise noted.
