Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a vehicular lamp, particularly a vehicular lamp having a plurality of light chambers, such as a rear combination lamp of an automobile.

<Prior Art> As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, for example, a rear combination lamp includes a housing 3 for partitioning a plurality of light chambers 1 and 2, and each light chamber 1 and 2 of this housing 3. Groove 4 formed around the opening of
, a plurality of lenses 7 and 8 which are arranged in front of each lamp chamber 1 and 2, whose legs 5 are inserted into grooves 4 and fixed to housing 3 by sealing material 6, and each lamp chamber 1 and 2.
A plurality of lamp bulbs 9 and 10 are arranged inside the lamp.

As shown in FIG. 7, grooves 4 into which the legs 5 of the respective lenses 7 and 8 are inserted are formed parallel to the housing 3 at the boundary between the adjacent lenses 7 and 8. A flange 11 protrudes from the leg 5 of one lens 7 toward the other lens 8 so as to cover this boundary, and a decorative molding 1 is placed on top of the flange 11.
2 is installed.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, in the conventional lens boundary structure, as shown in FIG. The light from the lamp chamber 2 also leaks into the adjacent lamp chamber 1 through the collar 11. In the case of rear combination lamps, the lens color for tail and stop lamps is red, the lens for turn signal lamps is amber, and the lens for backlight lamps is white, so there is no difference between adjacent lenses or between the light chambers. If there is light leakage, visibility will be impaired.

Therefore, an object of this invention is to provide an improved vehicle lamp that prevents light from leaking between adjacent lenses or between adjacent lamp chambers.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the vehicle lamp according to this invention includes a flange formed on the leg of one lens toward the other lens at the lens boundary,
An elongated hole formed in the flange along the lens boundary, a partition wall formed to protrude from the housing groove wall inserted into the elongated hole so as to protrude from the elongated hole, and a partition wall protruding from the elongated hole. It has a molding that covers the top.

<Operation> Light passing through the flange extending from the lens leg is blocked by a partition wall that passes through an elongated hole provided in the flange, thereby preventing light leakage through the flange.

<Embodiment> FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of this invention, and the reference numerals used in FIG. 6 are used for similar members and parts. The feature of this invention lies in the C section at the lens boundary, and an exploded perspective view of this C section is shown in FIG. A flange 11 is formed on the leg portion 5 of one lens 7 to protrude toward the other lens 8 side. This collar 11 has an elongated hole 13 formed along the lens boundary. A step portion 5a is formed on the leg portion 5 of the other lens 8, and a flange 11 protruding from one lens 7 is formed on the step portion 5a.
The tip end edge 11a of is adapted to rest on it. A partition wall 14 is formed to protrude from the outer wall 4a of the groove 4 on the lamp chamber 2 side, which is formed at the lens boundary of the housing 3, and is inserted into the elongated hole 13 of the collar 11. As shown in FIG. 3, the height of this partition wall 14 is such that it protrudes from the elongated hole 13 when the lenses 7 and 8 are assembled into the housing 3, and the molding 12 is attached to this protruding portion. It seems to be covered.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, even if the light from the light chamber 1 side and the light chamber 2 side is transmitted through the collar 11, it is blocked by the partition wall 14 in the middle, and the light from the adjacent lens or light chamber is blocked. There is no leakage. In addition, the partition wall 14
is provided in the outer wall 4b of the groove 4 on the lamp chamber 1 side, and the elongated hole 13
The position may also be shifted accordingly.

<Effects of the invention> As described above, the vehicle light according to this invention has the following effects:
A flange is provided on the leg of one lens toward the other lens at the boundary between adjacent lenses, a long hole is provided in the flange along the lens boundary, and a partition wall protruding from the housing is inserted into this long hole. Therefore, the light transmitted through the collar is blocked by the partition wall, so that leakage of light at the lens boundary is prevented, and a decrease in visibility is prevented.
