... 434,974. Electric lamps for cycles. HILL, W. J., 4, St. Paul's Square, Birmingham. May 28, 1934, No. 15784. [Classes 75 (iii) and 75 (iv)] An electric lamp for a cycle comprises an electric lamp holder a<1> mounted centrally in the coneavo-convex back a of the lamp casing and carrying a bulb a<2> which projects through an aperture b<1> in the centre of a parabolic reflector b, the aperture b<1> being of such size or shape as to permit light rays from the bulb a<2> to pass rearwardly on to a red glass member d let into an aperture a<3> in the back a. A slot b<2> may lead into the aperture b<1> to form a key-hole shaped opening, or the aperture b<1> may be diametrically enlarged. To assist in directing rays from the bulb a<2> on to the glass d, the back of the reflector b opposite the glass d may be polished so as to be reflecting, or a small independent metal reflector may be introduced between the reflector b and the back a. The glass d is arranged on the side of the lamp casing remote ...
