Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a high-mount lamp.

<Prior Art> As a conventional mounting structure for a high mount lamp, for example, there is one shown in FIG. 4 (see Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-106841).

1 is a rear parcel and 2 is a trim. Behind the rear parcel 1 are an upper panel 3 and a lower panel 4
Thus, a closed section structure 5 is formed. In the conventional example shown in FIG. 4, the rear end of the rear parcel 1 is directly used as the upper panel 3 and the reinforce is used as the lower panel 4. There are various types such as those having a structure in which an end portion is used as it is as a lower panel 4 and an upper panel 3 is joined to a rear waist panel on the upper side thereof.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a high-mount stop lamp as a high-mount lamp, which includes a reflector 7, a bulb 8, and a bulb base 9 for mounting the bulb.
A lens 11 is provided at the rear, and a lens 11 for changing the light from the bulb 8 and the reflection plate 7 to red and irradiating the light to the rear.

To mount the high mount stop lamp 6, a bolt 12 provided at the lower end of the bulb base 9 is inserted into a mounting hole provided in the rear parcel 1 on the front side of the closed section structure portion 5, and a nut is inserted through the lower surface from the lower surface. This was done by screwing 17.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a rear window, the lower end of which is mounted on the upper surface of the rear end of the upper panel 3 by screws 14.
Covered by 15. And 16 is a trunk lid.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, in such a conventional technique, the high-mount stop lamp 6 is attached to the rear parcel 1 on the front side of the closed-section structure portion 5 by the bolts 12 and the nuts 17. When performing the work of attaching and detaching the high-mount stop lamp 6, the worker had to extend his arm fully forward (in the direction of A in the figure) from the trunk room T to perform the work. In addition, the mounting position is the closed section structure part 5.
The operator was not able to see easily and had to work by groping. Therefore, improvement in workability has been desired.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to such a conventional technique, and provides a mounting structure for a high-mount lamp that can easily perform mounting and removing operations.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, a mounting structure for a high-mount stop lamp according to the present invention forms a supporting leg extending obliquely rearward on a lower surface of the high-mount lamp, and Is inserted from the opening formed in the upper panel into the closed cross-section structure portion, and the tip of the support leg is attached to the mounting surface at the rear position of the lower panel by mounting means operable from the trunk room side. It is.

Here, in the above and following descriptions of this specification, the "rear position of the lower panel" has a broad concept meaning a position where a worker's hand can reach easily and sufficiently in a trunk room.

<Operation> According to the mounting structure of the high-mount lamp according to the present invention, the support leg extending obliquely rearward is formed on the lower surface of the high-mount lamp, and the support leg is inserted into the closed cross-section structure, and the support leg is inserted. Was attached to the rear facing mounting surface with a bolt and nut means. For this reason, the fastening position of the nut is located near the front end of the trunk opening, so that the worker can easily perform the attachment / detachment work without extending the arm fully.
In addition, since the worker can see the rearward-facing mounting surface at the time of work, the nut can be easily tightened.

<Embodiment> A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. Here, the same reference numerals are given to portions common to the conventional example, and duplicate description will be omitted.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a high-mount stop lamp (high-mount lamp), which includes three bulbs 21, a reflector 22, and a bulb base.
Red lens with 23 built into housing 24 and facing backwards
Has 25. Reference numerals 26 denote support legs, and a pair of support legs are formed at both left and right end portions of the lower surface of the housing 24 so as to be inclined rearward and downward with respect to the housing 24. The support legs 26 have a groove-shaped cross section with an opening at the bottom, and gradually change to a circular cross section with a solid interior near the front end toward the front end, and a bolt 27 is previously attached to the front end by insert molding. ing. In addition, a locking claw 30 that locks with a notch 29 provided in the rear parcel 28 is provided at a lower portion of the front end of the housing 24. Reference numeral 31 denotes an upper panel, which is a portion serving as a rear waist panel.
The upper panel 31 is provided with an opening 32 for inserting the support leg 26. A lower panel 33 is formed integrally with the rear parcel 28 by extending the rear parcel rearward, and forms a closed section structure part 34 together with the upper panel 31. The rear surface of the lower panel 33 faces rearward and downward, and this surface is the mounting surface 35 of the support leg 26.

On the other hand, how to mount the high mount stop lamp 20
As shown in FIG. 2, the support leg 26 is inserted rearward and downward from the opening 32 of the upper panel 31 into the closed section structure portion 34, and
The high mount stop lamp 20 is disposed at a predetermined position on the upper surface of the rear parcel 28 by hooking the notch 30 on the notch 29 of the rear parcel 28. Then, the bolt 27 at the tip of the support leg 26 is inserted into an oval bolt hole 37 provided on the mounting surface 35 of the lower panel 33, and a wing nut (nut) is inserted from the trunk room T side.
Tighten with 36.

Thus, the mounting bolt 27 of the high-mount stop lamp 26 is located near the front end of the opening of the trunk room T,
In addition, since it is exposed toward the rear of the trunk room T, the operator can easily attach and detach the high mount stop lamp 20 by tightening the wing nut 36.

In addition, since the locking claw 30, which is a support member also serving as positioning, is provided at the front end of the housing 24, the high mount stop lamp 20 can be securely mounted at a predetermined position.

<Effect of the Invention> The mounting structure of the high-mount lamp according to the present invention has the above-described contents. The support leg is formed on the high-mount lamp, and the support leg is formed on the upper panel. Insert into the closed section structure from the opening,
The tip of the support leg was attached to the mounting surface at the rear position of the lower panel by means of bolts and nuts. For this reason, since the mounting position of the high-mount lamp is near the opening of the trunk room, the worker can perform the mounting / removing work without extending his arm fully. Further, since the worker can work while looking from the trunk room, it is possible to easily attach and detach the high-mount lamp.
