BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a relatively small vehicle lamp such as a side marker lamp, and more particularly to a mounting structure of the lamp to a vehicle body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A vehicle body 1 of a conventional vehicle lamp 90 of this type.
FIG. 3 shows an example of a mounting structure to the vehicle body 0. The vehicle body 10 is provided with a stepped portion 81 in the shape of a concave frame so that the outer diameter of the vehicle lamp 90 fits therein. Lamp 9
0 is dropped into the stepped portion 81, and both ends in the longitudinal direction are screwed from the surface side of the vehicle lamp 90 to the installation surface 81a of the stepped portion 81 with screws 82.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional mounting structure, the screw 82 is exposed on the surface side of the vehicular lamp 90, which causes a problem that the appearance is impaired. The solution to the problem had become an issue.

[0004]

The present invention is, as a concrete means for solving the above-mentioned conventional problems, a vehicular lamp in which a vehicular lamp is fixed to a frame-shaped stepped portion provided in a concave shape on a vehicle body. In the mounting structure according to claim 1, a hook is provided at one end along the longitudinal direction on the back surface of the vehicle lamp, and the other end is provided with a rib and a screw held along the longitudinal direction by the rib. Is provided, and the vehicular lamp is hooked on the opening end of the stepped portion by the hook portion so as to be rotatable in the mounting direction of the lamp and the screwed portion of the stepped portion. On the side corresponding to the above, there is provided a rising wall provided with a slot that substantially faces the rib and allows the screw in the loosened state to pass through in the mounting direction, and tighten the screw on the rising wall. To provide a mounting structure for a vehicular lamp characterized by As a by, no backlash,
The conventional problem is solved.

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 FIG. 1 denotes a vehicle lamp, which is, for example, a side marker, and the vehicle lamp 1 has a step portion 1 provided in the vehicle body 10 as a concave frame shape.
1 is the same as that of the conventional example.

However, according to the present invention, the stepped portion 1 is provided on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the rear surface of the vehicular lamp 1.
1 is provided with a hook portion 2 that is hooked on the opening end 11a of the vehicle 1. When the hook portion 2 and the opening end 11a are hooked at a predetermined position, the vehicular lamp 1 is rotated around the hook portion 2. It moves so that it can be freely fitted into and removed from the stepped portion 11.

A rib 3 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is provided at the other end of the vehicle lamp in the longitudinal direction.
a, and a screw 3b screwed along the longitudinal direction to the rib 3a is provided, and a stopper 3c such as an E ring is attached to the tip of the screw 3b. The screw 3b has a predetermined amount of the rib 3a.
The rotation is stopped in the state of being loosened, and it is supposed to prevent the separation.

On the side of the stepped portion 11 corresponding to the threaded portion 3, a standing wall 12 facing the rib 3a in the mounted state of the vehicle lamp 1 extends in the depth direction at the opening end of the stepped portion 11. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, in addition to the rotation direction of the vehicular lamp 1 around the hook portion 2 in the step portion 11 and the rising wall 12, as shown in FIG. The slot 12a through which the screw 3b in the loosened state can pass is provided.

Further, a reference numeral 4 in FIG. 1 denotes a spring portion, which is provided on the rear surface near the hook portion 2 and has a free end of a spring 4a fixed to the vehicular lamp 1 at one end. The end side is flexed and brought into contact with an appropriate position of the vehicle body 10, whereby the vehicle lamp 1 is biased forward in the mounted state, and when the hook portion 2 and the step portion 11 are hooked. Eliminate backlash.

The mounting process of the vehicular lamp 1 of the present invention having the above structure will be described. When the vehicular lamp 1 is assembled to the vehicle body 10, first, the hook portion 2 is attached to the stepped portion 11 of the vehicle body 10. It can be attached by hooking it on the open end 11a of the above, and then aligning and screwing the screwing portion 3 at the other end with the hook portion 2 as the center of rotation. The spring portion 4 comes into contact with the vehicle body 10 and begins to bend during the alignment of the threaded portion 3 with the hook portion 2 as the center of rotation.

This means that a biasing force is applied to the hook portion 2 in one direction, and the hook portion 2 is pressed against the step portion 11 of the vehicle body 10 from one direction by this biasing force. The play generated in the hook 2 is prevented.

Next, the operation of the present invention having the above-described structure will be described. The vehicular lamp 1 is configured to be attached by the hook portion 2 and the screwing portion 3, and thus the vehicular lamp 1 is constructed.
The screw 3b is not exposed on the surface of the hook 2, and in addition, the provision of the spring portion 4 on the hook portion 2 side also prevents looseness caused by the hook portion 2.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, the vehicular lamp is provided with the hook portion on one end side of the back surface along the longitudinal direction and the other one end side is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. Ribs are provided, and a rising wall facing the ribs is also provided on the vehicle body side. One end of the rising wall is hooked on the vehicle body, and the other end of the rib and the rising wall With the structure in which the screws are fastened, the attachment to the vehicle lamp is performed on the back side at any end, and the screws are prevented from being exposed on the surface side of the vehicle lamp to improve the appearance. It has an excellent effect on improvement.

Further, by providing the spring portion near the hook portion, the effect of preventing the occurrence of backlash due to the provision of the hook portion is also exhibited.
