Description



FIG. 1 is a rear elevational view of a left vehicle taillight (as viewed from the rear of the vehicle), the outer lens having been rendered transparent using the Computer Aided Design tools to better illustrate the interior decorative surfaces. Only the left vehicle taillight is illustrated (the right vehicle taillight is a mirror of the left and is not illustrated but nonetheless covered by this patent);

FIG. 2 is a rear elevational view of the vehicle taillight, the outer lens having been rendered opaque using the Computer Aided Design tools to better illustrate the exterior decorative surfaces;

FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view of the vehicle taillight;

FIG. 4 is a left side elevational view of the vehicle taillight;

FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the vehicle taillight; and,

FIG. 6 is bottom plan view of the vehicle taillight.

The vehicle taillight 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. Any functional features of the vehicle taillight are not claimed. Views are orthogonal projections unless otherwise noted. The various views are not necessarily to scale in order to better illustrate the design. The drawings were generated using Computer Aided Design tools. Highlights and shading were added to the drawings to better illustrate the three-dimensional features of the part. The vehicle taillight is intended to be observed in various states of internal illumination as well as in daylight with no internal illumination.
