Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention is a high-mounted type of a vehicle equipped with a driving unit that moves a rear light emitting unit from a retracted position to a rear window glass surface to emit light when braking. It is about stop lamps.

[Conventional technology]

As a high mount stop lamp of this type, a reflector which is hinged from the roof between package trays is used to irradiate light backward from the package tray according to 61-75347, or a lamp casing according to 61-47737. There are things that move in an arc shape from the package tray.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

All of these are positioned at the edge of the windshield during braking, and are difficult to employ when a rear wiper positioned at the lower edge of the rear window is provided.

In view of visibility, the present invention prefers a position that floats above the glass edge, so that the rear light emitting portion is driven to a position that is upwardly separated from the lower edge of the wind glass. It is intended to provide a high mount type stop lamp.

[Means for solving the problem]

To achieve this object, the present invention provides a bulb that is turned on during braking, and an actuator that moves the reflector upward from a normal position near the package tray to a height position away from the lower edge of the rear window glass during braking. Is arranged on the package tray, and the reflector is attached to the actuator so that the angle is set so as to reflect the light emitted from the bulb backward during braking.

If the rear wiper is attached to the lower part of the rear windshield, the normal position of the reflector should be almost behind the normal position of the rear wiper, and the braking position should be just beyond the normal position of the rear wiper. Can be considered.

[Action]

The reflector normally occupies a position close to the package tray.

During braking, the actuator operates to move the reflector upward to a height position away from the lower edge of the rear window glass, and at this upward movement position the reflector reflects the light emitted from the illuminated bulb backward.

〔Example〕

1 to 3 show a high mount type stop lamp according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 10 denotes a valve case provided with a valve 11 on both sides of the rear wiper, avoiding the drive section 5, and attached to the package tray 1. A red lens 12 is attached to the upper part of this case, and a solenoid 15 as an actuator is contracted outside both valves 11.

20 is a 4-stage telescopic case that moves up and down along the rear window 9. The uppermost case portion 22 hinges the reflector 21 with hinge portions 23 with springs on both sides, and solenoids on both sides.
It is supported by the tips of 15 rods 16. Then, it operates during braking and is driven to the top dead center, and when the braking is released, it is returned to the bottom dead center. The reflector 21 has a valve 11 at the top dead center.
The hinge portion 23 is spring-biased so as to be able to move backward to a position where the light emission of is reflected backward. The inside of the case 20 is provided with a matte or antireflection treatment to prevent diffuse reflection. The blade of the rear wiper 6 is attached to the support shaft 2. One solenoid 15
A top dead center detection sensor 29 is attached to this, and when detecting the top dead center, the input switch 28 of the valve 11 is turned on.

In the normal position, the uppermost case 22 is shown in FIGS.
As shown by the dotted line in the figure, it occupies a position slightly behind the package tray 1 behind the rear wiper 6, and the reflector 21 contacts the lens surface 12 and rotates slightly inward against the spring force. ing. When you step on the brake pedal, the reflector 21
Rotates to the reflection position shown by the solid line in FIGS. 2 and 3 as the rod 16 moves upward, and occupies a position slightly beyond the rear wiper 6 in the normal position. And switch at the top dead center position
When 28 is turned on, the brake light drive input generated during braking is supplied to the bulb 11 and reflects red light backward.

Even if the present invention is applied to a rear window equipped with a rear wiper, it is lifted from the lower edge of the rear window.
Even the reflection method is advantageous in terms of visibility. further,
The valve 11 may be directly supplied with a brake light drive input if it accepts the color of the instantaneous red emission during braking.

[Effect of device]

As described above, according to the present invention, even if the stop lamp is of a reflection type, light is emitted at an intermediate position of the rear window glass as compared with the method of emitting light at the edge for the same amount of light, so that the visibility is improved. Furthermore, it is possible to coexist with the rear wiper.
