Description
VEHICULAR LAMP
The present invention relates generally to vehicular lamps having a simple construction, such as licence plate lamps for automobiles. More particularly, the invention relates to a vehicular lamp of this type which is easily attachable to and detachable from a vehicle body.
Vehicular lamps, such as licence plate lamps for illuminating the licence plates (or number plates) of automobiles, are required to have a simple structure of components such as lamp body, outer lens and the like to satisfy the recent demand for reducing the number of the component parts of an automobile. For example, Postexamined
Japanese Utility Model Publications Nos. Sho. 58-21785,
Hei. 1-34899 and Hei. 4-6986 propose lamp structures applicable to licence plate lamps which have a small number of components parts.
For example, Post-examined Japanese Utility Model
Publication No. Hei. 1-34899 discloses, as shown in Fig. 4A of the accompanying drawings, a lamp body 101, a bulb socket 102 which is formed integrally with the lamp body 101 for supporting a lamp bulb 105, the lamp body 101 being fitted in and secured to a mounting hole H formed in a vehicle body panel P by an engaging piece 103 of the lamp body 101 or screws, and an outer lens 104 coupled to the lamp body 101.
On the other hand, Post-examined Japanese Utility
Model Publication No. Hei. 4-6986 discloses, as shown in
Fig. 4B, a lamp body 201, a bulb socket 203 which is formed integrally with the lamp body 201 for supporting a lamp bulb 202, and an outer lens 204 which is provided at both ends thereof with pawl members 205 engageable with an inner edge of a mounting hole H formed in a vehicle body panel P.
The pawl members 205 are inserted through recess portions formed in both end parts of the lamp body 201 and engage with the inner edge of the mounting holes H while sandwiching a packing member 206 between the outer lens 204 and the lamp body 201 and also sandwiching another packing member 207 between the lamp body 201 and the vehicle body panel P. Thus, the lamp body 201 and the outer lens 204 are secured to and supported by the vehicle body panel P.
The conventional lamp structures as described above provide a simple structure and accomplish a reduction in the number of component parts, and low cost, by forming the lamp body integrally with the bulb socket and also by providing the securing member for securing the lamp body and the outer lens to the vehicle body.
However, with the structure of the former conventional lamp, because gaps are created between the outer lens and the lamp body and between the lamp body and the vehicle body, the packing members are required to be disposed between these parts to attain the necessary water seal.
Thus, two extra component parts, that is, the two different packing members, are necessary. In addition, when the lamp bulb is to be exchanged, the outer lens must be detached from the lamp body and the packing members must be detached from the outer lens. Therefore, the reliability of the packing members are deteriorated after a period of time and the resealability between the outer lens and the lamp body is also deteriorated when the outer lens is repeatedly attached to the lamp body. For this reason, the water-sealing property is impaired.
On the other hand, with the structure of the latter conventional lamp, as similar to the former conventional lamp structure, two packing members are required which means two additional component parts. Further, the outer lens is detached from the lamp body when the lamp bulb is to be exchanged. When the outer lens is detached, the packing members are also detached at the same time and, therefore, the latter conventional lamp structure also suffers from the same problem as the former one in deterioration of the water-sealing effect. Additionally, with the structure of the latter conventional lamp, since the lamp body is also detached trom the vehicle body when the outer lens is detached from the lamp body, the reassembly operation of the lamp body and the outer lens is intricate.
The present invention was made in view of the foregoing problems accompanying the conventional vehicular lamp structure. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicular lamp construction capable of reducing the number of conventional component parts and allowing the easy exchange of the lamp bulb without impairing the water-sealing property of the lamp even if lamp bulb is exchanged several times.
The above and other objects can be achieved by a provision of a vehicular lamp which, according to the invention, comprises an outer lens which is arranged to be fitted in a mounting hole formed in a vehicle body and which is formed integrally with at least one mounting piece resiliently mountable to an inner edge of the mounting hole of the vehicle body; a lamp body formed integrally with at least one engaging piece resiliently engageable with the mounting piece of the outer lens to mount the lamp body to the outer lens; a bulb socket formed in the lamp body; and a lamp bulb fitted in the bulb socket.
Preferably the outer lens is formed integrally with a peripheral flange which is arranged to overlie the vehicle body around the mounting hole, in which case there may be a packing member which is arranged to be disposed, in use, between the flange of the outer lens and the vehicle body.
Most simply, the mounting pieces are a first pair of legs which are resiliently deflectable towards one another to enable fitting between opposite edge parts of the mounting hole, and the engaging pieces are a second pair of legs which are resiliently deflectable towards one another to enable fitting between the first pair of legs.
A vehicular lamp according to the present invention is thus constituted by an outer lens fitted in a mounting hole of the vehicle body, a lamp body coupled to the outer lens and supported by the mounting hole, and a bulb socket which is formed integrally with the lamp body. Therefore, in addition to the bulb, only three component parts, including a packing member, are required to constitute the lamp. The outer lens is coupled to the lamp body to assemble the lamp. Thus, the process steps for assembling the lamp is quite simple. In addition, for the maintenance of the lamp, only the lamp body is to be detached and it is not necessary to detach the outer lens which holds the packing member with the aid of the vehicle body.Therefore, the workability when the lamp bulb is exchanged can be simplified and the deterioration of the water-sealing property of the lamp due to the deterioration of the packing can be remarkably suppressed.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is a partly cut-out perspective view illustrating a licence plate lamp according to one embodiment of the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a partly exploded perspective view of the licence plate lamp according to the embodiment shown in
Fig. 1 viewing from the back side thereof;
Figs. 3A and 3B are horizontal and vertical sectional views of the assembled licence plate lamp shown in Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4A is a sectional view showing one conventional lamp, and Fig. 4B is a sectional view showing another conventional lamp.
As shown in Fig. 1, a licence plate LP is attached to an outer surface of a rear outer panel ROP of an automobile, and a licence plate lamp 1 is attached to the rear outer panel ROP at an upper area of the licence plate
LP so that the licence plate lamp 1 illuminates the surface of the licence plate LP. Normally, an ornamental hood F is connected to the rear outer panel ROP to cover the upper part and the front part of the license plate lamp 1 so that the licence plate lamp 1 is not seen from the outside.
As illustrated in Fig. 2, the licence plate lamp 1 is constituted by a lamp body 2, a lamp bulb 3, an outer lens 4 and one packing member 5. The lamp body 2 is molded from resin material and shaped substantially like a laterally elongate rectangular plate. The lamp body 2 is formed integrally with a cylindrical bulb socket 21 at a center portion thereof. The bulb socket 21 is arranged to receive a bulb 3 having no metal casing piece.
A pair of terminals 23 formed from metal is embedded by insert molding in a cylindrical member 22 of the bulb socket 21 which is formed integrally with the lamp body 2.
Accordingly, each of electrodes 31 of the bulb 3 fitted in the bulb socket 21 is electrically connectable with the respective terminal 23 and held therein. Further, other end parts 23a of the terminals 23 are held straight within an open end part 22a of the cylindrical part 22 and form connector pieces. Therefore, when a connector (not shown in the figures) is fitted in the opening end part 22a of the cylindrical member 22 the connector pieces 23a electrically connect with electrodes of the connector.
The lamp body 2 is elongate and provided at both the ends thereof with a pair of slits 24 extending from each of the edges which form engaging pieces 25 at the center portion in the width of the lamp body 2. The engaging pieces 25, forming resilient legs, are J-shaped facing each other and project backwardly from a part of the lamp body 2 in the vicinity of the bulb socket 21. With this structure, the engaging pieces 25 can be deflected resiliently towards from one another in the thickness direction thereof. Each of the engaging pieces 25 is formed integrally with an engaging projection 26 which is triangular in cross section for engaging with an engaging hole of the outer lens 4 as described later.
The outer lens 4 is rectangular having a size larger than the lamp body 2 and provided with a cup-shaped lens part 41 covering the lamp body 2 and the lamp bulb 3, a plate like flange 42 formed at the periphery of the lens part 41 and a pair of mounting pieces 43 for mounting the outer lens 4 to the vehicle body panel P.
On the lens part 41, desired lens steps are formed to collect light beam emitting from the lamp bulb 3 in the direction toward the licence plate LP. On the other hand, the flange 42 is provided on the surface thereof with pyramid steps 44 consisting of fine concave portions arranged in a matrix. A projecting edge part 45 is formed along the periphery of the rear surface of the outer lens 4.
The mounting pieces 43 are a pair of protruding legs which are straight and protrude rearwardly from both the end parts of the lens part 41. The mounting pieces 43 can be deflected resiliently towards one another in the thickness direction thereof. Each of the mounting pieces 43 is formed at a tip end part thereof integrally with a chamfered nib 46 facing outwardly. The nib 46 fits in the inner edge of the mounting hole H formed in the vehicle body panel P as described later. Further, an engaging hole 47 is formed in a center of each of the mounting pieces 43 for engaging with a respective one of the engaging projections 26 formed on the engaging pieces 25 of the lamp body 2. As best shown in Fig. 2, a packing member 5, which is formed from a resin material or a rubber material having liquid sealability, is rectangularly shaped corresponding to the flange 42.
The rectangular mounting hole H is formed in the vehicle body panel P, i.e., the rear outer panel ROP in this embodiment, at an upper position of the licence plate
LP, and the mounting hole H has a size substantially corresponding to that of the lens part 41. The outer lens 4 is fitted in the mounting hole H from the outside thereof in such a manner that the mounting hole fits with the mounting piece 43 of the lens. In this operation, the pair of mounting pieces 43 engage with the inner edge of the mounting hole H through the nibs 46 formed on the mounting pieces so that the lens 4 is secured to the rear outer panel ROP. The packing 5 is disposed between the outer lens 4 and the rear outer panel ROP and, accordingly, the packing 5 is held compressed by the flange 42 and the rear outer panel ROP.Thus, the lens 4 connects with the rear outer panel P while keeping the liquid sealability so that water or dust is prevented from entering the lens 4 or the vehicle body.
A projecting edge part 45 formed on the rear surface of the flange 42 contributes to appropriately position the peripheral part of the packing 5. Further, because the pyramid steps 44 formed on the front surface of the flange 42 perform to diffuse light beam, the packing 5 is prevented from being viewed through the flange 42 from the outside. Thus, the external appearance of the lamp is not deteriorated.
On assembly, the lamp body 2 is first coupled to the front lens 4. That is, the lamp body 2 is inserted in the outer lens 4 from therebehind in such a manner that the pair of engaging pieces 25 face the respective mounting piece 43 of the outer lens 4, the engaging pieces 25 slide between the mounting pieces 43 while resiliently deforming the engaging pieces 25. Then, when the engaging pieces 25 are resiliently returned to the original shape, the engaging piece 25 come into engagement with the respective engaging hole 47 formed in the mounting piece 43 from inside thereof. The lamp body 2 is hence coupled integrally to the mounting pieces 43, that is, to the outer lens 4.
Under this condition, when the outer lens 4 is attached to the rear outer panel ROP, the lamp body 2 is secured to and held by the mounting hole H of the rear outer panel ROP indirectly through the outer lens 4. Under the condition where the lamp body 2 is secured to and held by the rear outer panel ROP, the supporting force applied to the rear outer panel ROP is attained by the sum of the resilient force of the mounting piece 43 of the outer lens 4 and the resilient force of the engaging pieces 25 when both the mounting pieces 43 of the outer lens 4 and the engaging pieces 25. Accordingly, a large securing and-supporting force can be attained to thereby achieve the stable securing and supporting of the lamp.
Then, the assembly of the lamp is completed when the connector (not shown in the figures) is fitted in the bulb socket 21 to electrically connect the lamp bulb 3. When the lamp bulb 3 is turned on, the light beam emitting from the lamp bulb 3 provides a desired light distribution pattern by the lens part 41 and illuminates the licence plate LP.
Further, during the maintenance of the lamp such as a bulb exchanging, the lamp body 2 is detached from the outer lens 4 in the inner direction of the vehicle body by the operation from the inner side of the rear outer panel P.
While this operation, if each of the engaging pieces 25 are pinched by fingers to deform inward, the engaging pieces 25 disengage from respective ones of the engaging holes 47.
Therefore, the lamp body 2 is detached easily by one-touch operation, and the lamp bulb 3 is easily detached from the lamp body 2 to be exchanged. After the lamp bulb has been exchanged, the lamp body is reassembled again.
According to the embodiment of the present invention as described, since merely one packing 5 is required for accomplishing the water-proof property, the number of component parts can be reduced. Further, when the lamp bulb 3 is to be exchanged, the outer lens 4 can remain secured to the rear outer panel ROP and it is not necessary to detach the packing 5, and deterioration of the water-proof property of the lamp due to the deterioration of the packing 5 can effectively be suppressed. In addition, because only the lamp body 2 has to be detached when the lamp bulb is exchanged, the steps for exchanging the lamp bulb can be extremely simple while the reassembling of the lamp can also be accomplished extremely easily.
The size or configuration of the lamp body and the outer lens and the structure or the arrangement of the engaging pieces or mounting pieces of the present invention are not limited to or by the embodiment described above, but various types of modifications may be applicable.
Further, though the present invention is applied, as one example, to the licence plate lamp in the foregoing embodiment, the invention may be applied also to the various other kinds of the small vehicular lamps.
