BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicular lamp, and more particularly to a structure suitable for attaching and detaching a vehicular lamp, such as a rear combination lamp, which is shaped to wrap around to the side of the vehicle. Is.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 shows an example of the configuration of a conventional vehicle lamp 90 of this type. The vehicle lamp 90 is shaped so as to wrap around to a side surface 21 of a vehicle body 20. At a position corresponding to the side surface 21 side of the
1 is provided, a fastener 21a that fits into the clip 91 is provided on the side surface 21, and the clip 91 and the fastener 21a are fitted to each other and then screwed from the rear surface 22 of the vehicle body to be attached to the vehicle body 20. It is configured to be. At this time, the clip 91 and the fastener 2
1a is provided so that the insertion direction is substantially perpendicular to the side surface 21.

In the above structure, when the vehicle lamp 90 is removed from the vehicle body 20 for replacing a light bulb, for example, the clip 91 and the fastener 21a are fitted in a direction substantially perpendicular to the side surface 21. Therefore, the clip 91 is released after the screwing on the rear surface 22 is released.
It is necessary to move in the direction of the side surface 21 to separate the fastener 21a and the fastener 21a.

At this time, since the clip 91 and the fastener 21a are fitted with each other with a considerable holding force, the clip 91 and the fastener 21a are moved in the direction of the side surface 21 shown by an arrow Z in the figure by a hand or the like. It is common practice to strike and apply a large amount of impact force to disengage the fit.

[0005]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, when the object is moved in the desired direction by the impact force due to the above-mentioned striking, it becomes difficult to properly control the stress, and often excessive stress is applied to cause an excessive amount of stress. This causes a problem in that the light bulb socket 92 that is caused to move is brought into contact with the vehicle body 20 so as to damage the light bulb socket 92 that is provided on the back side of the vehicle lamp 90, and that this removal work causes a new defect. The solution to this point has been a problem.

[0006]

The present invention is, as a concrete means for solving the above-mentioned conventional problems, a fastening means having a shape that extends to a side surface of a vehicle body and has a holding force on this side surface. Is provided in a substantially right-angled direction, and when detached from the vehicle body, it is necessary to move the vehicle body in a lateral direction by an appropriate external force for disengaging the engaging means. In front of the moving direction of the light bulb socket provided so as to project from the vehicle body when it is detached from the vehicle body, the movement at the time of removal makes it abut on an appropriate portion of the vehicle body and raise it so as to prevent the light bulb socket from abutting on the vehicle body. It is an object of the present invention to solve the problem by providing a vehicular lamp characterized by being provided with a socket protection rib.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. Reference numeral 1 in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a vehicular lamp according to the present invention. The vehicular lamp 1 has a shape that extends to a side surface 21 of a vehicle body 20.
The clip 2 is provided at a position corresponding to the position to be fitted with the fastener 21a provided on the side surface 21 of the vehicle body 20. Therefore, when the clip 2 is detached from the vehicle body 20, the side surface of the vehicle lamp 1 is removed. A move in 21 directions is required,
The movement is similar to that of the conventional example in that it is performed by an impact force such as hitting in order to release the holding force between the clip 2 and the fastener 21a.

Here, in the present invention, the socket protection rib 4 is provided for preventing the damage of the light bulb socket 3 when the excessive movement toward the side surface 21 is performed. The socket protection rib 4 is provided so as to project on the back surface of the vehicular lamp 1 in the same manner as the light bulb socket 3, and the position where it is provided is forward of the light bulb socket 3 in the moving direction when the vehicular lamp 1 is detached. It is provided so that.

At the same time, the socket protection rib 4 is formed on the rear surface 22 of the vehicle body 20, for example, on the rear surface 22 of the vehicle body 1 to accommodate the light bulb socket 3 projecting from the rear surface of the recessed portion 22a at the time of movement during the removal. The vehicle lamp 1 is lifted from the rear surface 22 of the vehicle body 20 by further moving after the contact. ing.

Therefore, when the vehicular lamp 1 is moved toward the side surface 21 by hitting, for example, the socket protection rib 4 located in front of the light bulb socket 3 comes first.
0 to lift the vehicular lamp 1 from the rear surface 22 of the vehicle body 20 and prevent the bulb socket 3 from coming into contact with the vehicle body 20 continuously due to continued movement so as to prevent damage.

At this time, if the height H of the socket protection rib 4 is basically equal to or more than the protruding amount of the light bulb socket 3 from the rear surface of the vehicular lamp 1, the contact is surely prevented. However, depending on conditions such as the shape of the vehicular lamp 1 or the shape of the vehicle body 20, the socket protection rib 4 may rise above the height of the socket protection rib, and it may not be necessary to have that height. It is preferable to set the height H of the socket protection rib 4 in the actual state of the vehicular lamp 1.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, an appropriate portion of the vehicle body can be moved forward by the movement of the light bulb socket projecting on the rear surface of the vehicle lamp when the light bulb socket is detached from the vehicle body. Since the vehicle lighting device is provided with a socket protection rib that abuts against the light bulb socket to prevent it from coming into contact with the vehicle body, the vehicle lighting device is struck in the lateral direction by striking when the vehicle lighting device is removed from the vehicle body. Even when it is necessary to control the amount of movement, such as moving the lamp, the lateral movement of the lamp lifts the vehicle lamp from the vehicle body to prevent the light bulb socket from contacting the vehicle body and causing damage. As a result, a new defect is prevented from occurring, and an extremely excellent effect is provided for improving the maintainability of this type of vehicle lamp.
