  The inclination angle θ2 of the end cover inner peripheral portion outer surface portion 4250 with respect to the reference line T along the longitudinal direction X is an inclination angle θ2> 0 °, and preferably, the inclination angle θ2 ≧ the inclination angle θ1. When the inclination angle θ2 is equal to the inclination angle θ1, the distance between the outer wall 410a and the inner peripheral wall 425 of the end cover in the second direction is determined by the length of the lamp 3. The same is true in the first direction, which is the direction X.

<Assembly of lamp 3>
When assembling the lamp 3, usually, first, the seal 43 is attached to the end 36 of the translucent cover 30, and then the end cover 40 is attached to the translucent cover 30 with the seal 43 interposed therebetween. The order of attachment to the end 36 is common. At this time, the translucent cover 30 is disposed between the inner peripheral portion outer surface portion 4352 and the outer peripheral portion inner surface portion 4370 of the sealing tool 43. For example, when assembling the lamp 3, the sealing member 43 fitted into the end cover 40 is difficult to come off, so that the lamp 3 can be assembled in a different order without impairing the assemblability. When assembling the lamp 3, the method and procedure for mounting (fitting) the sealing tool 43 have more options, so that the lamp 3 can be assembled by various procedures. In this embodiment, the outer peripheral portion 4250 of the inner peripheral portion of the end cover is formed over the entire periphery of the inner peripheral portion 425 of the end cover. Therefore, the second direction is all directions (360 °) crossing the first direction (longitudinal direction X). Note that the end cover inner peripheral portion outer surface portion 4250 forming the inclined portion does not need to be provided on all surfaces of the outer peripheral surface of the end cover inner peripheral portion 425, and at least the end cover inner peripheral portion 425. What is necessary is just to be provided in a part of outer peripheral surface. Here, the part of the outer peripheral surface of the end cover inner peripheral part 425 may be either a part in the first direction (longitudinal direction X) or a part in the circumferential direction. The end cover inner peripheral portion outer surface portion 4250 may be provided at one location of the end cover inner peripheral portion 425, or may be provided at a plurality of locations.

<Effects>
As described above, the sealing member 43, which is an elastic member, includes the end portion 36, the first cover main portion 410, which is the outer end portion, the outer wall portion 410a, and the end cover inner peripheral portion 425, which is the inner wall portion. It is attached to the end 36 in a sandwiched state. The end cover inner peripheral portion 425, which is an inner wall portion, is configured such that the distance from the center of the light-transmitting cover 30 to the end portion 36 in the first direction increases as the distance from the end portion 36 in the second direction increases. An end cover inner peripheral portion outer surface portion 4250 which is a first inclined portion that is inclined is formed. The end cover inner peripheral portion 425 is provided with an end cover inner peripheral portion outer surface portion 4250, and the end cover inner peripheral portion outer surface portion 4250 is an elastic member fitted into the end cover 40 due to such inclination. Certain seals 43 are less likely to come off. The inner peripheral portion inner surface portion 4350 of the sealing member 43 faces the inclined end cover inner peripheral portion outer surface portion 4250 in a state where the first end cover 41, the second end cover 42, and the sealing member 43 are combined. Contact, and contact. When the first end cover 41, the second end cover 42 and the seal 43 are combined, the inner peripheral surface 4350 of the inner periphery of the end cover 425 of the end cover inner peripheral part 425 is closed. It makes surface contact with the outer surface 4250. Therefore, the movement of the inner peripheral portion 4350 of the inner peripheral portion of the sealing tool 43 is restricted by the inclination of the outer peripheral portion 4250 of the inner peripheral portion of the end cover. When a force is applied to the translucent cover 30 to which the sealing tool 43 is in close contact in the first direction (longitudinal direction X) in a direction (right direction X2 in FIG. 10) from the end cover 40, the translucent cover 30 may be transparent. There is no possibility that the light cover 30 and the sealing tool 43 come off from the end cover 40. If the seal 43 moves in a direction (rightward direction X2 in FIG. 10) that comes out of the end cover 40, the seal 43 moves toward the end 36 of the translucent cover 30 (upward in FIG. 10). I do. Therefore, the degree of adhesion between the translucent cover 30 and the end cover 40 and the sealing tool 43 is increased, and the translucent cover 30 and the sealing tool 43 are less likely to come off the end cover 40. More specifically, the lighting device 3 and the sealing structure 100 of the lighting device 3 include the end portion 36 of the translucent cover 30, the end cover inner peripheral outer surface 4250, and the end cover outer peripheral inner surface portion 4190 of the end cover 40. Thus, the degree of adhesion with the sealing tool 43 is increased. Therefore, in the lighting device 3 and the sealing structure 100 of the lighting device 3, the translucent cover 30 and the sealing device 43 do not easily come off the end cover 40. That is, in the lighting device 3 and the sealing structure 100 of the lighting device 3, there is no possibility that the translucent cover 30 and the sealing device 43 come off from the end cover 40.

  The end cover 40 has the shape described above, and the amount of elastic deformation of the outer peripheral portion 437 of the sealing member 43 is smaller than that of the connection portion 436 on the side where rainwater enters. Since the side of the main part 430 is relatively smaller, the lamp 3 can easily maintain the water stoppage. In addition, the light-transmitting cover 30 and the end cover 40 are strongly adhered to the sealing tool 43, and the lamp 3 is kept water-tight. More specifically, the end portion 36 of the translucent cover 30, the end cover inner peripheral portion outer surface portion 4250 and the end cover outer peripheral portion inner surface portion 4190 of the end cover 40, and the sealing member 43 are strongly adhered to each other, The lamp 3 and the sealing structure 100 are kept water-tight.

  The translucent cover 30, which is an outer shell, is a long hollow body having at least one end 36 opened, and houses the substrate 62 on which the light emitting element 61 is mounted. The longitudinal direction X of 30 is the first direction. Therefore, the lamp 3 can secure the degree of adhesion between the translucent cover 30, the sealing member 43, and the end cover 40, and can maintain the water blocking property. As a result, the lamp 3 and the sealing structure 100 of the lamp 3 can be maintained. Can protect the light emitting element 61 disposed inside the hollow body.

  Further, the distance between the outer wall 410a in the second direction and the inner peripheral portion 425 of the end cover in the second direction is such that the distance between the center of the translucent cover 30 which is the outer periphery in the first direction and the distance from the center to the end. It becomes larger toward 36. Therefore, the sealing member 43, which is an elastic member fitted into the end cover 40, does not easily come off. Further, the end portion 36 of the translucent cover 30, the outer peripheral portion 4250 of the inner peripheral portion of the end cover of the end cover 40, and the inner peripheral portion 4190 of the outer peripheral portion of the end cover are strongly adhered to the seal 43, and the lamp 3 and The sealing structure 100 of the lamp 3 maintains water stopping.

  In the end cover 40, the distance between the outer wall portion 410a and the inner peripheral portion 425 of the end cover in the second direction may be the same in the first direction. In this case, since the inclination of the end cover outer peripheral inner surface 4190 and the inclination of the end cover inner peripheral outer surface 4250 are at the same angle, when combined with the end cover 40, the user can use the seal 43 and the end. This facilitates engagement with the unit cover 40.

(Modification 1)
FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram illustrating a first modification of the sealing structure 100 of the lamp 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention. A draft taper is formed on the inner peripheral surface 4250a of the end cover so that the inclination angle θ3 required for normal resin molding is about 1 ° with respect to the reference line T along the longitudinal direction X. Have been. Further, this is a modification in which the inner surface 4190a of the outer peripheral portion of the end cover forms an inclined surface as a second inclined portion corresponding to the first inclined portion. In the first direction (longitudinal direction X), the end cover outer peripheral portion inner surface portion 4190a intersects with the first direction (longitudinal direction X) from the first cover main portion 410 toward the second cover main portion 420. It is inclined so that the distance from the end 36 is reduced in two directions. That is, the outer wall portion 410a is a second inclined portion that is inclined so that the distance from the end portion 36 of the translucent cover 30 toward the center in the first direction becomes smaller in the second direction. An end cover outer peripheral portion inner surface portion 4190a is formed. In other words, in the first direction (longitudinal direction X), the end cover outer peripheral portion inner surface portion 4190a that is the second inclined portion moves in the first direction from the second cover main portion 420 toward the first cover main portion 410 in the first direction. It is inclined so that the distance from the end 36 increases in the second direction intersecting. That is, the outer wall portion 410a is a second inclined portion that is inclined such that the distance from the center of the translucent cover 30 to the end portion 36 in the first direction increases with the distance to the end portion 36 in the second direction. An end cover outer peripheral portion inner surface portion 4190a is formed.

  The inclination angle θ4 of the inner surface 4190a of the outer peripheral portion of the end cover is such that the inclination angle θ4> 0 ° with respect to the reference line T along the longitudinal direction X, and preferably, the inclination angle θ4 ≧ the inclination angle θ3. When the inclination angle θ4 is equal to the inclination angle θ3, the distance between the outer wall 410a and the inner peripheral part 425 of the end cover in the second direction is equal to the length of the lamp 3. The same is true in the first direction, which is the direction X. Further, a cover flange 426 is formed on the second end cover 42a, and in a state where the second end cover 42a and the sealing tool 43a are combined, the cover flange 426 is connected to the connecting portion 436 of the sealing tool 43a. Opposes, abuts, and adheres to.

  As described above, the sealing member 43, which is an elastic member, includes the end portion 36, the first cover main portion 410, which is the outer end portion, the outer wall portion 410a, and the end cover inner peripheral portion 425, which is the inner wall portion. It is attached to the end 36 in a sandwiched state. The outer wall portion 410a has an end portion that is a second inclined portion that is inclined such that a distance from the center 36 of the light-transmitting cover 30 to the end portion 36 in the first direction increases with respect to the end portion 36 in the second direction. An outer peripheral portion inner surface portion 4190a is formed. The outer wall portion 410a is provided with an end cover outer peripheral portion inner surface portion 4190a, and since the end cover outer peripheral portion inner surface portion 4190a is inclined in this manner, the sealing member 43, which is an elastic member fitted into the end cover 40, is difficult to come off. Become. The outer peripheral portion 4372 of the outer peripheral portion of the sealing member 43 faces the inclined inner peripheral portion 4190a of the outer peripheral portion of the end cover in a state where the first end cover 41, the second end cover 42, and the sealing member 43 are combined, It is a part that abuts and adheres. When the first end cover 41, the second end cover 42, and the seal 43 are combined, the outer peripheral portion 4372 of the outer periphery of the seal 43 is in contact with the inner surface 4190a of the end cover outer peripheral portion of the outer wall 410a. Contact. Therefore, the movement of the outer peripheral portion 4372 of the outer peripheral portion of the sealing tool 43 is regulated by the inclination of the inner peripheral portion 4190a of the outer peripheral portion of the end cover. When a force is applied to the light-transmitting cover 30 to which the sealing tool 43 is in close contact in the first direction (longitudinal direction X) in a direction (rightward direction X2 in FIG. 11) from the end cover 40. There is no possibility that the light cover 30 and the sealing tool 43 come off from the end cover 40. If the sealing tool 43 moves in a direction (rightward direction X2 in FIG. 11) that comes out of the end cover 40, the sealing tool 43 moves toward the end 36 of the translucent cover 30 (upward in FIG. 11). I do. Therefore, the degree of adhesion between the translucent cover 30 and the end cover 40 and the sealing tool 43 is increased, and the translucent cover 30 and the sealing tool 43 are less likely to come off the end cover 40. More specifically, the degree of adhesion between the sealing member 43 and the end 36 of the translucent cover 30, the outer surface 4250 a of the inner periphery of the end cover of the end cover 40, and the inner surface 4190 a of the outer periphery of the end cover is increased. In addition, the translucent cover 30 and the sealing tool 43 are less likely to come off the end cover 40. That is, in the lighting device 3 and the sealing structure 100 of the lighting device 3, there is no possibility that the translucent cover 30 and the sealing device 43 come off from the end cover 40.

  The end cover 40 has the shape described above, and the amount of elastic deformation of the outer peripheral portion 437 of the sealing member 43 is smaller than that of the connection portion 436 on the side where rainwater enters. Since the side of the main part 430 is relatively smaller, the lamp 3 can easily maintain the water stoppage. In addition, the light-transmitting cover 30 and the end cover 40 are strongly adhered to the sealing tool 43, and the lamp 3 is kept water-tight. More specifically, the end portion 36 of the translucent cover 30, the end cover inner peripheral portion outer surface portion 4250a and the end cover outer peripheral portion inner surface portion 4190a of the end cover 40, and the sealing member 43 are strongly adhered to each other. The lamp 3 and the sealing structure 100 of the lamp 3 maintain water stoppage.

  Further, the distance between the outer wall 410a in the second direction and the inner peripheral portion 425 of the end cover in the second direction is such that the distance between the center of the translucent cover 30 which is the outer periphery in the first direction and the distance from the center to the end. It becomes larger toward 36. Therefore, the sealing member 43, which is an elastic member fitted into the end cover 40, does not easily come off. Further, the end portion 36 of the translucent cover 30, the end cover inner peripheral portion outer surface portion 4250a and the end cover outer peripheral portion inner surface portion 4190a of the end cover 40, and the sealing member 43 are strongly adhered to each other. The sealing structure 100 of the lamp 3 maintains water stopping.

  In the end cover 40, the distance between the outer wall portion 410a and the inner peripheral portion 425 of the end cover in the second direction may be the same in the first direction. In this case, the inclination of the end cover outer peripheral inner surface 4190a and the inclination of the end cover inner peripheral outer surface 4250a are at the same angle. This facilitates engagement with the unit cover 40.
