@ne oi the objects of invention is to l 1 P lli'll'lilQ a novel ion of .Lan'ip adapted 1'01 in connection with t 1o rear nun'iber plate "ti obileand which shall spread the ,s orer the characters of? the nunr expansively and brilliantly he number plate readable from "inces than h as hithertoil'ore been .elc with previous lamps.
object of my invention consists L iluniinaelse being shaped in such to prov de more direct and n :it sprea lingr oi the light rays l-si Melly upon roar number plate of an automobile.
.1 still Further object ofi' n yin ention is wide a novel rni of rear or taillight nut: u obile constructed of one piece 1h. in addition to being self illud shaped so as to direct a White if it downwzmll c upon the number plate u )Ol'l which it mounted, is also equipped ii-h an integral bnlls eye serving as usual mining or signal with which a vehicle nmst be equipped.
With the above and other objects in View my invention con'ists in the arrangement, combination and details of construction disclosed in the drmvings and specification and i then. more pnrticularly pointed out in the appointed claims.

roovell (lit rides the inujor portionl lobe into opposite portions desigci1i\"ely the-ed ilQandthe flat surside oi? the; portion. '12 while J forms a side Withthe portion 9. I design to render opaque, as by staining or otherwise incl-ting black, the entire extent and portion of the surface 5) except that 1 color the bulls eye 1" red and I also render in this Way opaque the entire extent and surface of the flat portion or side 6. The correct position of this lamp upon a niunber plate 13 is shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings \vhere'it Will be seen that the lower nipple 3 is connected by a cap 14: cooperating with the threaded nipple 3 to the upper edge of the number plate 13 which will preferably incline outwardly and'downwardly with respect to the'vertical axis of the lamp. ltwill now be seen that as the entire lower portion 12 except its opaque side 6 is trenspereut While the upperportion 9 is opaque all-the light rays are concentrated and focused downwardly upon the plate 13 making the same brightly illuminoted and readable at great distances, none of the lightrays being dissipated so that thev may not contribute to thoroughly hten up the number plate The red.
fi d with tabula bulls eye 7 is also noticeable from the side or front and receives its illumination from the same source as does the transparent portion 12, andas the portion 6 is opaque it will be seen that the light rays coming through the red bulls eye are spread out at right angles from the light rays coming through the portion 12 and reaching the number plate 13.
Numerous modifications may beresorted to in practice without departing in principle from the details of construction herein disclosed.
What I desire to claim and secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A lamp as described having a top and abottom open end, and a flat side therebetween, a transparent bulls eye lens formed adjacent one or said open ends and projectin forwardly, front side under bulls eye to be opaque, said lamp having its-lower portion curving completely around from said flat side laterally to its rear side, the portion above said curved lower portion being opaque.
2. A. lamp consisting of a glass body formed upon its'back and sides with a curved surface and being; formed upon its front side with a red bulls eye lens, the upper portion of said body being in a plane with said lens and being opaque and the lower portion of said body being transparent.
3. A glass bodyconsisting of a globe fiattened upon one side, a red bulls eye formed upon said flat side, a collar formed upon said globe for supporting an electric lilanient, one half 01" said globe being painted black and the other half being transparent.
A glass body consisting of a globe formed at diametrically opposite points with integral collars, and a, bulls eye lens disposed between said collars and oi a red color, one half of said globe being in a plane with said bulls eye lens and being painted black and the other half being; transparent.
5. An autolamp consisting of a globe having its upper and lower edges arranged parallel, said lamp being formed upon its front side with a flat surface disposed perpendicular to said edges, a red bulls eye lens being formed upon said flat surface, said fiat surface surrounding said bulls eye and the upper rear portion of said lamp being; opaque.
6. An auto lamp consisting oii'a globular body being open at its upper audlower ends, the lower rear portion only of said globular body being transparent and a red lens pro jectinp; forwardly from said globular body at a. point above said transparent portion.
'3. A lamp consisting a globular glass body having its entire back surface convex and formed with a red bulls eye lens upon its front side, the upper portion of. said convex surface being opaque, the remainder of said lamp except its Front side being transparent.
'8. A lainp globular in shape, but having 1 wall flattened a red lens formed l fiat side at its upper portion, said V, painted so to be opaque leavonly the lower back and side portions -of transparent In witness whereof he hereunto set his hand and affixed his seal this lQthday of Feb, 1921.
