FIG. 14 is a perspective view showing a rear perspective view of a passenger car of the conventional example, for example, a high-mount stop lamp, and FIG.
A description will be given with reference to FIG. 15 showing a cross section taken along line A-15A and FIG. 16 showing a rear view of the lamp device of FIG.

[0003] The high mount stop lamp device is
It is provided at a position higher than the road surface at the rear of the vehicle, for example, at a position that is easily visible from the rear vehicle such as the back of the trunk lid, above the rear shelf in the vehicle interior or the lower surface of the ceiling, and determines whether the vehicle has been braked. Recently, it is installed in many vehicles because it is easy to confirm. For example,
As shown in FIGS. 14 to 16, the inner panel 2 of the vehicle
When mounting the high-mount stop lamp device 10 on the back of the trunk lid 6 composed of the
The lens 12 mounted on the lamp housing 16 is inserted into the opening 14 of the outer panel 4 to be exposed, and the lamp body 1 is exposed.
6 is fixed to the inner panel 2 by the lamp bracket 18. However, when the lens 12 is in direct contact with the outer panel 4, when the lens 12 is too tightly fixed to the inner panel 2 by the bolt 20 and the nut 22, the lens 12 and the The contact of the outer panel 4 becomes strong, and the outer panel 4 is distorted.

In order to solve this problem, conventionally, the opening 14 of the outer panel 4 is made larger than the outer shape of the insertion portion of the lens 12 so that the gaps 26 between the opening 14 and the entire circumference of the lens 12 are formed.
A sealing material 24 such as a sponge or rubber is disposed on a to prevent the lens 12 from directly contacting the outer panel 4. Further, there is a case in which the bracket 18 is made of an elastic member and the lamp main body 10 is elastically supported on the inner panel 2 so as to be hardly distorted.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 7-81480 and Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. Hei 7-18979 are examples of the prior art described above. The plurality of elastic mounting brackets 18 are fastened to the peripheral edge of the opening of the inner panel 2 with bolts 20, and the opening 14 of the outer panel 4 is made larger than the outer shape of the insertion portion of the lens 12, so that the opening of the outer panel and the lens 12 Sealing material 24 is provided in gaps 26 and 26a between the entire circumference.
Alternatively, a protector softer than the lens is provided so that the lens 12 does not directly contact the outer panel 4.

[0006]

However, in any of the conventional mounting structures described above, for example, referring to FIGS. 14 to 16, as described above, the lens 12 is inserted and exposed to the rear side of the vehicle. Opening 14 of the outer panel 4 is larger than the outer shape of the insertion portion of the lens 12,
A gap 2 between the opening 14 and the entire circumference of the lens 12
Since the seal member 24 such as a sponge or rubber is provided on the 6, 26a, the seal member 24 and the protector can be seen from the rear, so that the appearance is poor and if the seal member 24 deteriorates due to aging, the lens 12 is attached. Problems such as the lens 12 being tilted due to misalignment, a gap being formed in the seal portion, and water or dust entering a trunk room (not shown) occur.

Further, in the case where the elastic mounting bracket 18 is made of an elastic member, the reaction force of the elastic member is deviated from the insertion direction of the lamp at the time of mounting, or the elastic mounting bracket 18 itself must have elastic characteristics. The resulting bracket 18 is thin, thin, and weak. For this reason, the lamp body 16 vibrates due to vibration during traveling,
Since the lens 12 may come into contact with the outer panel 4 due to displacement, the seal member 24 and the protector cannot be eliminated.

Therefore, in any of the conventional mounting structures described above, it is necessary to use an expensive elastic material such as a spring material for the elastic mounting bracket 18 fixed to the lamp body 16. Since the number of lamps is required, the cost of the lamp device is increased. In addition, since the sponge rubber, which is the seal member 24, is pressed and sealed by the elastic force of the elastic mounting bracket 18, the shape of the elastic mounting bracket 18 that allows for the accuracy of the lower assembly of the inner and outer panels 2 and 4 is considered.

8 is fitted to a protrusion provided on the side surface of the trunk of the lamp main body 16 or mounted with screws or the like, an error occurs in mounting the elastic mounting bracket 18 to the lamp main body 16, and this accuracy is secured. It is very difficult to increase the manufacturing cost, and if the accuracy is wrong, the assembly dimensions of each component of the lamp device become large, and water, dust and the like enter. May occur.

Further, as described above, since the sealing member 24 is simply sandwiched between the end of the opening 14 of the outer panel 4 and the lens 12 as shown in FIG. It is difficult to determine the position of the lens 12, so that the above-described inconvenience may occur, and it takes time to mount the lamp device. The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and a lamp bracket formed integrally with a lamp housing and having high rigidity is provided with a lamp bracket having an inner peripheral portion at a peripheral portion of an opening of an inner panel into which a lamp body is inserted.
