Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a front structure of a vehicle body, and more particularly to a front structure having a fog lamp.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a fog lamp is provided at the front of a vehicle body, as shown in FIG.
The fog lamp 3 is attached so as to be exposed from below the front bumper 2, or as shown in FIG. 10, an opening 4 is opened in the front bumper 2, and the fog lamp 3 is attached so as to be exposed from the opening 4. Was.

[0003]

However, when the fog lamp is arranged below the front bumper, the position and shape of the fog lamp are limited in consideration of the design balance between the front bumper and the fog lamp, and a new design is required. There is a problem that it is difficult to produce. There is also a point that the front bumper cannot be enlarged.

In the case of mounting so as to be exposed from the opening as described above, there is a problem that a space for maintenance from the front of the vehicle body (space for adjustment work) is required beside the fog lamp, and the opening becomes large. . Unless the front bumper is removed, maintenance of the fog lamps (replacement of lamps, replacement of bulbs, etc.) cannot be performed.
The work of removing the bumper requires a long time, and also requires two or more operators, which causes a problem that the maintenance work is complicated.
In particular, in recent years when the front turn lamp has been provided at the front of the vehicle body, the problem related to such fog lamps has been increasing.

In view of the circumstances described above, the present invention has been made to facilitate the work of adjusting and replacing a fog lamp, and even when a front turn lamp is provided, the design of the front part of the vehicle body is free. The purpose is to increase the degree.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-described problems, and has an opening in a front bumper, and a front turn lamp mounting portion and a fog lamp mounting portion facing outward from the opening. And up and down,
In the fog lamp mounting portion, the fog lamp main body is connected to a bracket supporting the fog lamp main body by bolts on the upper front turn mounting portion side, and a lower end of the fog lamp main body is connected to a lower end of the fog lamp main body or one of the brackets. The vehicle body front structure, wherein the provided projections are detachably connected by fitting the projections into corresponding recesses or holes provided in the lower end of the fog lamp body or the other side of the bracket. To solve the above-mentioned problem.

[0007]

In the present invention, the front turn lamp mounting portion and the fog lamp mounting portion are vertically arranged, and a space communicating with the opening is formed above the fog lamp mounting portion bolt by removing the front turn lamp. Is done. After the bolt is removed, the fog lamp body is connected to the bracket through the engagement between the projection and the corresponding recess or hole, and the fog lamp is removed from the opening by removing from the engagement. Can be removed from

[0008]

Next, the present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, the front bumper 2 at the front part 1 of the vehicle body has openings 5, 6 for a front turn lamp and a fog lamp. As shown in FIG. 2, a front turn lamp mounting portion 7 and a fog lamp mounting portion 8 are provided up and down in the openings 5 and 6, and the front turn lamp main body 9 and the fog lamp main body 10 face outward. It is arranged to put out.

The fog lamp mounting portion 8 comprises a fog lamp main body 10 and a bracket 11 for supporting the fog lamp main body 10, and as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the upper front turn lamp mounting portion 7 side. The fog lamp body 10 and the bracket 11 are connected to each other by bolts 12 and 12, and the lower center portion of the fog lamp body 10 is connected by an elastic clip 13 provided on the bracket 11. A projection 14 projecting from the lower surface of the fog lamp body 10 is detachably fitted into the elastic clip 13.

As described above, since the fog lamp mounting portion 8 is located below the front turn lamp mounting portion 7 and the bolts 12 are set on the front turn lamp mounting portion side, the fog lamp main body 10 is Removal can be performed as shown in FIGS.

That is, after the front turn lamp body 9 is removed, the bolt 12 is removed from the opening 5 using a tool a such as a spanner. And the fog light body 1
0, remove it from the elastic clip 14,
The removal is completed by pulling out the fog lamp body 10 from the opening 6. The mounting of the fog lamp body can be performed in reverse. In the above embodiment, the case where two upper and lower openings are provided has been described.However, this opening is one, and the front turn lamp and the fog lamp are exposed up and down from this one opening. They can also be placed. In the above-described embodiment, the engagement between the projection 14 and the elastic clip 13 is exemplified. However, this is an example of the engagement between the projection and the corresponding recess or hole. The positional relationship between the protrusion and the concave portion or the hole may be opposite to that in the above embodiment.

[0012]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention,
An opening is provided in the front bumper, and the front turn lamp mounting portion and the fog lamp mounting portion facing outward from the opening are arranged up and down, and the fog lamp mounting portion is
The fog lamp main body is connected to a bracket supporting the fog lamp main body by bolts on the upper front turn mounting portion side, and a lower end of the fog lamp main body has a lower end of the fog lamp main body or a projection provided on one of the brackets, Correspondingly, since it is detachably connected by being fitted into a concave portion or a hole provided at the lower end of the fog lamp main body or the other side of the bracket,
By removing the front turn lamp, a large space communicating with the opening above the fog lamp body is obtained,
The engagement and disengagement of the projection and the concave portion or the hole can be performed much more easily than the conventional bipot type connection, so that a tool or the like can be inserted into this space from the opening to perform maintenance such as adjustment and replacement of the fog lamp.

In addition, since the fog lamp, which was conventionally supported only in a single direction, is supported in the vertical direction, and is further supported by an elastic clip on the lower end side, the fog lamp can be easily positioned and stabilized. Become. The opening can be sized for fog lamps without considering maintenance, and the shape of the front bumper can be set freely, greatly improving the design flexibility of the front part of the vehicle, making it highly practical. It has the effect that it has.
