【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を添付図面に基づいて説明する。
【0011】
図1ないし図7は、本発明の一実施形態によるハイマウントストップランプ(車両構成部品)のカバー構造を説明するための図であり、図1は車両後方から見たハイマウントストップランプの正面図、図2はハイマウントストップランプの平面図、図3,図4,図5,図6はそれぞれカバー装着状態のハイマウントストップランプの断面図(図1のIII−III 線断面図,IV−IV線断面図,V−V 線断面図,VI−VI 線断面図) 、図7はカバー部材の平面図である。
【0012】
図において、1はハイマウントストップランプを示しており、このストップランプ1は自動車のバックドア2に配設されている。このバックドア2は、ドアアウタパネル2aとドアインナパネル2bとを結合した構造のもので、車体後端部3に形成されたドア開口3aを開閉するものであり、該ドア開口3aの周縁にはバックドア2との間をシールするウェザストリップ5が装着されている。
【0013】
また上記バックドア2の上半部には幅広のウィンド開口2cが形成されており、該ウィンド開口2cにはウィンドガラス4が配設されている。上記ストップランプ1はバックドア2のウィンド開口2c上辺部のウィンドガラス4の車室A側に位置するよう配置されている。
【0014】
上記ストップランプ1は、車両後方から見ると、概ね船型をなしており、内表面にアルミ蒸着による反射面が形成された横断面碗状の樹脂製ハウジング7のレンズ開口7aにレンズ8を固着した構造のものである。上記ハウジング7の上壁部7bの車幅方向中央部にはバルブ9が装着されたプラグ10が着脱可能に装着されており、該プラグ10にはバルブ9に電源を供給するハーネス11が接続されている。また上記上壁部7bには複数の切欠き開口7cが形成されている。
【0015】
上記レンズ8の上縁には上方に段付き状に延びる段部8aが形成されており、該段部8aは上記バックドア2のウィンド開口2cの上辺縁より覆われている。これによりレンズ8のみ外方に露出している。
【0016】
上記ハウジング7の上壁部7bの車幅方向左端部には非弾性部7c′と弾性部7c″とからなる概ね下向きV字状の取付け片7cが突出形成されている。この各弾性部7c′,7c″の基部には係合溝7d,7eが形成されている。また上記上壁部7bの右端部には車両前方に突出する締結片7gが一体が形成され、該締結片7gには締結孔7fが形成されている。
【0017】
上記バックドア2のドアインナパネル2bの上記取付け片7c,締結片7gに対応する部分には取付け孔2d,2eが形成されている。そして上記ハウジング7は、図5,図6に示すように、取付け片7cを内側に弾性変形させて取付け孔2d内に挿入するとともに係合溝7d,7eに取付け孔2dの縁部を係合させることにより位置決め支持され、さらに上記締結片7gに挿着されたスクリュウ13を取付け孔2eを介してドアインナパネル2bに締結することにより取付け固定されている。
【0018】
上記ハウジング7の左右側部には車両前方に略水平に延びる係合片7h,7hが一体形成されており、該各係合片7h,7hには四角形状の係合孔7h′,7h′が形成されている。またハウジング7の左右下端部には車両前方に突出する突起7i,7iが一体形成されている。
【0019】

【0020】
上記カバー部材15内の底壁15aの左右端部には斜め上後方に突出する位置決め支持片15c,15cが一体形成されており、各位置決め片15cには上記ハウジング7の突起7iが係合している。
【0021】
上記カバー部材15の底壁15aと縦壁15bとの境界部には斜め上後方に延びる左右一対の嵌合爪15d,15dが起立形成されている。この左右の嵌合爪15dは、前後一対の帯板状爪部15e,15fを車外側に一体形成されたリブ15gにより連結した構造となっており、このリブ15gにはスリット15hが形成されている。これにより各爪部15e,15fの剛性を確保しつつ前後方向における弾性変形を許容する構造が実現されている。

【0025】
次に本実施形態の作用効果を説明する。
【0026】
カバー部材15を取付けるには、先にハイマウントストップランプ1をバックドア2に取付ける。この場合、ハウジング7の取付け片7cをドアインナパネル2bの取付け孔2d内に係合させて位置決めし、この状態で締結片7gをスクリュウ13によりドアインナパネル2bに締結固定する。
【0027】
次いでハウジング7にカバー部材15を斜め下方(図4の矢印a方向)から装着する。具体的には、左右の位置決め支持片15c,15cにハウジング7の突起7iを係合させ、左右の嵌合爪15dを係合片7hの係合孔7h′内に押し込む。すると前後の爪部15e,15fが互いに内側に弾性変形して係合孔7h′の縁部に係合する。このようにしてカバー部材15を取付ける。
【0028】
カバー部材15を取り外すには、車室A側からカバー部材15の凸部15jを指で押し、カバー部材15に押圧力Fを加える。すると押圧力Fが押圧力伝達片15iを介して後側の爪部15eに伝達され、該爪部15eが車両後側(図4の矢印b方向)に弾性変形し、これにより嵌合が解除される。この状態でカバー部材15を下方に引き抜くこととなる。このようにしてバルブ9の交換を行う。
【0029】
このように本実施形態によれば、カバー部材15の縦壁15bと後側爪部15eとの間に押圧力伝達片15iを架け渡して一体形成し、縦壁15bの凸部15jを車室A側から押圧することにより上記押圧力伝達片15iを介して爪部15eを嵌合解除方向bに弾性変形させたので、カバー部材15を指で押圧することにより、ハウジング7との嵌合を解除することができ、カバー部材15やハウジング7を傷つけたりすることなく容易に取り外すことができる。
【0030】
また上記押圧力伝達片15iをカバー部材15と嵌合爪15dとの間に一体形成したので、カバー部材15の成形時に同時に形成でき、簡単な構造で実現できるとともにコストの上昇を防止できる。
【0031】
本実施形態では、上記縦壁15bの車室側表面の上記押圧力伝達片15iに臨む部分に凸部15jを形成したので、この凸部15jが押圧箇所を示すマーキングとして機能するとともに、カバー部材15を射出成形する際のひけ防止として機能することとなる。
【0032】
なお、上記実施形態では、車両構成部品としてハイマウントストップランプを例にとって説明したが、本発明の適用範囲はこれに限られるものではなく、車体に取付けられた車両構成部品の車室側露出部分をカバー部材により覆うようにした場合であれば何れにも適用可能である。
