Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a light for trucks, vans and other vehicles having a corner panel in the front corner.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventional vehicle lights include headlights, small lamps (side lights), backlights, and tail lights. Small lamps are provided at the front corners of the car body to help check the vehicle width.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the conventional vehicle lights have a problem that it is difficult for the driver to confirm the width of the vehicle to be driven at night or in a tunnel. The small lamp is a light for checking the vehicle width, but it is small and weak, so it is difficult to see when driving, especially the corner on the passenger side. In addition, the conventional vehicle light has a problem that it is difficult to check the width of the vehicle when seen from an oncoming vehicle when driving at night or in a tunnel. Small lamps are small and weak, and are often stained with mud, making it generally difficult to see from oncoming vehicles.

The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide a vehicle light in which it is easy to check the vehicle width from a driving vehicle and an oncoming vehicle.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, a vehicle light according to the present invention is a vehicle light having a corner panel at a front corner, wherein the corner panel is made of a transparent or translucent member. The light emitting device is provided inside the corner panel.

Vehicles provided with the vehicle light according to the present invention are trucks, vans, light trucks, one-on type vehicles, and other vehicles having corner panels at the front corners. The transparent or translucent member forming the corner panel is preferably made of an acrylic resin, but may be made of another material as long as it is a transparent or translucent member. The member forming the corner panel is preferably colored in blue, white, yellow, or another color. The light emitting device is preferably a fluorescent lamp, but may be another light emitting device. The light emitting device may or may not illuminate with the small lamp of the vehicle. The vehicle lights are preferably provided at the front corners on the left and right sides of the vehicle.

In this vehicle light, since the entire corner panel of the front corner emits light, it is easy for the driver to confirm the width of the vehicle to be driven when driving at night or in a tunnel. Also, when driving at night or in a tunnel, it is easy to see the width of the vehicle from an oncoming vehicle.

[0008]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the truck 1 has vehicle lights 10 at the left and right front corners. Each of the vehicle lights 10 and 10 has a corner panel 11. Each corner panel 11 is made of white translucent acrylic resin. As shown in FIG. 3, each corner panel 11 is removably attached to the vehicle body 2 by means of four screws 12, 13, .. Each vehicle light 10 has a fluorescent lamp 14 in the space inside the corner panel 11 along the length direction of the corner panel 11. Both ends 14a, 14a of the fluorescent lamp 14 are attached to fixtures 15, 15. Each fixture 15 is attached to the vehicle body 2 with screws 16, 16. The fluorescent lamp 14 is electrically connected to a battery 19 of the truck 1 via an inverter 17 and a switch 18. The inverter 17 converts the voltage of the battery 19 into 100V. The switch 18 is adapted to open and close in cooperation with a small lamp (not shown) of the truck 1.

Next, the operation will be described. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the vehicle lights 10 and 10 are considerably larger than the small lamps, and the entire corner panels 11 and 11 in the front corners emit light, so that when driving at night or in a tunnel. , It is easy for the driver to confirm the width of the vehicle to drive, and it is possible to easily confirm the width even at the passenger side corner. In addition, since the vehicle lights 10 and 10 emit light from the front and side parts that are conspicuous, it is easy to check the vehicle width and the vehicle height from the oncoming vehicle when driving at night or in a tunnel. . Since the vehicle lights 10 and 10 emit light over a large area, even if some dirt such as mud is attached, the visibility is not hindered. By providing the vehicle lights 10 and 10 in this way, the vehicle width can be easily checked from the driving vehicle and the oncoming vehicle, which is useful for preventing accidents such as contact accidents, collision accidents, and accidents involving people. . Further, the vehicle lights 10 and 10 also serve to enhance the appearance of the truck 1.

The vehicle lights 10 and 10 can be easily attached to a conventional vehicle in which the vehicle lights 10 and 10 are not provided by replacing the corner panel, attaching a fluorescent lamp, and performing electrical wiring. it can.

[0011]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the vehicle light of the present invention, the corner panel is made of transparent or semi-transparent material, and the light emitting device is provided inside the corner panel. The width of the vehicle can be easily confirmed from the vehicle and oncoming vehicles.
