[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle lamp mounting structure, for example, a mounting structure for a high mount stop lamp in a back door of an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in an automobile having a back door described in JP-A-61-271120, a lamp 3 shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b) in a back door 2 of an automobile 1 is as shown in FIG. It is fixed with a mounting screw 6 inside the frame 5 along the upper side of the window glass 4 of the back door 2. In the figure, 7 is the other door, 8 is a roof panel, 9 is a light bulb,
The lamp 3 may be attached to the roof panel 8 as shown by the lamp 3a in FIG.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, this lamp 3
As shown in FIG. 4 (b), since it protrudes inward by 50 to 80 mm, when the back door 2 is opened, a person's head or luggage hits the lamp 3 when the luggage is taken in and out, and the workability is poor.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and includes a mounting bracket 10 mounted inside a vehicle body panel and a shaft 13 attached to the mounting bracket 10.
A rotation bracket 12 rotatably supported by a lamp, and a lamp 3 fixed to one side 12a of the rotation bracket 12,
A vehicular lamp mounting structure including positioning members 15, 15a mounted on the back door 2 and contacting the other side 12b of the rotating bracket 12 when the back door 2 is closed to rotate the lamp 3 forward of the mounting bracket. Is.

[0005]

Operation: When the back door is opened, the lamp 3 is moved to a position that does not obstruct the upper direction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1A shows a semi-automatic embodiment of the present invention. The same parts as those in the conventional example shown in FIGS. A mounting bracket 10 is fixed to the inside of the roof panel 8 on the vehicle body side with a screw 11, and a rotary bracket 12 is pivotally attached to a lower end of the mounting bracket 10 by a shaft 13. A lamp 12 is attached to one side 12a of the rotary bracket 12. 3 is fixed, and an elastic stopper 14 of the rotary bracket 12 is provided on the mounting bracket 10 so as to be retractable. As shown in FIG. 1B, the stopper 14 may be a bulging portion of the mounting bracket 10. A positioning rubber 15 that engages with the other side 12b of the rotating bracket 12 is provided on the frame 5 so as to project forward. Incidentally, reference numeral 16 in the figure denotes a buffer rubber on the front surface of the lamp 3.

Next, the operation of this device will be described. When the normal back door 2 is closed, the lamp 3 is automatically lowered by its own weight, and the buffer rubber 16 is in contact with the inner surface of the window glass 4 as shown by the solid line in FIG. When the lamp 3 is pushed up by hand when the back door 2 is opened, the rotating bracket 12 rotates counterclockwise about the shaft 13, and the stopper 14 engages with the rotating bracket 12 and, as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 3 is pushed up to an unobtrusive position above. When closing the back door 2 again, when the stopper 14 and the rotating bracket 12 are disengaged, the lamp 3 is lowered by its own weight, and when the door 2 is closed, the positioning rubber 15 moves the positioning bracket 15.
2 and the lamp 3 stabilizes.

2 and 3 show an automatic embodiment of the present invention. The same parts as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals, and only different parts will be described. Rotating bracket 1 as shown in FIG.
2 and 12 are coil springs 2 provided at both ends of the shaft 13.
0, 20 repels the lamp 3 counterclockwise so as to jump up. Further, the rotary brackets 12, 12 have a three-pronged shape, while the end surface A of the positioning bracket 15a fixed to the frame 5 has a surface B of the rotary brackets 12, 12.
To engage.

Next, the operation of this device will be described. When the back door 2 is opened, first, when the back door is half opened, the rotating bracket 12 and the lamp 3 are rotated by the positioning bracket 15a to the position indicated by the alternate long and short dash line. Then springs 20, 2
It rotates to the position of the dotted line with the elasticity of 0. When the back door 2 is closed, the end surface A of the positioning bracket 15a pushes the slope B of the rotary bracket 12, so that the rotary bracket 12,
Rotate the lamp 3 to the solid line position.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the back door is opened, the lamp 3 can be moved to a position where it does not interfere with the upward movement, so that it is difficult for the entering and leaving luggage or the head of a person to hit the lamp 3, and the workability is improved. It is a thing.
