Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a vehicular lamp in which an inner panel is provided between a reflector and a front lens.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a conventional example for this type of vehicle.

A front lens 2 is mounted so as to cover a front opening of the lamp housing 1.

A reflector 3 is arranged in a space surrounded by the lamp housing 1 and the front lens 2. Z is the optical axis of the reflector 3.

The light source bulb 4 is arranged with the filament positioned at the focal point F of the reflector 3.

An inner panel 5 is provided between the reflector 3 and the front lens 2.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

When the reflector 3 is supported so as to be tiltable and adjustable so that the direction of the optical axis Z can be adjusted, the edge of the front opening of the reflector 3 (hereinafter, referred to as the tiltable and adjustable). (Referred to as a front edge of the reflector) is retracted behind the edge of the rear opening of the inner panel 5, so that a gap G is provided between the reflector 3 and the inner panel 5.

If the vehicular lamp is viewed from the front when the vehicular lamp is not turned on, the shadow of the inner panel 5 is reflected near the front edge of the reflector, and a dark zone represented by an arc arrow D is generated, which impairs the appearance.

Even if the chrome plating is applied to this portion in order to eliminate the dark zone D, the dark zone does not disappear.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and when the reflector is supported so as to be tiltable, it does not hinder the tilting, and does not generate a dark zone at the front edge of the reflector. An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicular lamp provided with the same.

[Means for solving the problem]

As a structure for achieving the above object, the present invention provides a lamp housing, a front lens mounted over a front opening of the lamp housing, and a space provided between the lamp housing and the front lens. A reflector for a vehicle, comprising: an inner panel disposed between the reflector and the front lens; wherein an edge of a front opening of the reflector is formed on an edge of a rear opening of the inner panel. The light-colored coating is applied to the surface facing the front of the lamp and the surface facing the outside of the lamp among the edges of the front opening of the reflector. It is characterized by having done.

[Action]

According to the above configuration, since the light-colored coating is applied to the portion where the dark zone at the front edge of the reflector is generated, the shadow of the inner panel is not conspicuous, and the generation of the dark zone as a practical problem is prevented.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1A is a cross-sectional view showing one embodiment of a vehicle lamp with an inner panel according to the present invention.

This embodiment is obtained by applying the present invention to the conventional example (FIG. 2), and members denoted by the same reference numerals in FIG. 2 are the same as or similar to those in the conventional example. is there.

The edge of the front opening of the reflector 3 is located behind the edge of the rear opening of the inner panel 5, and the inner panel 5
Are separated from each other. Of the edges around the front opening of the reflector 3, the surface facing the front and outside of the lamp (that is, the surface within the range of the solid angle θ shown in FIG. 1A) has a white color. Apply paint. FIG. 1 (B) is an enlarged view of a portion B in FIG. 1 (A). 6 indicated by a virtual line is a white paint.

When implementing the present invention, a light blue coating may be applied instead of a white coating. In short, a light color coating may be applied.

According to the experiment of the present inventors, when a white (or light-colored) paint is applied to this portion, the shadow of the inner panel becomes inconspicuous when the light is turned off.

[Effect of the invention]

As described above, the vehicular lamp having the inner panel of the present invention does not hinder the tilt when the reflector is supported to be tiltable, and the shadow of the inner panel is not conspicuous when the light is turned off. , High commercial value.
