Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lamp structure for a vehicle, and more particularly, to a lamp structure provided at a corner of a vehicle having a door supported by a hinge so as to be openable and closable at a corner of the vehicle body. The structure of the exterior lamp to be used. 2. Description of the Related Art For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-38050 discloses a tailgate type rear door which is pivotally supported by a hinge provided at the rear end of a vehicle body roof and which is opened upward. In order to eliminate irregularities on the outer surface of the vehicle due to the step between the outer surface of the lamp cover of the outer lamp such as tail lamp and stop lamp and the outer surface of the outer panel of the vehicle, the above-mentioned external lamp is arranged near the opening at the rear of the vehicle. In addition, there is disclosed a lamp disposition structure in which a window glass of the rear door is extended to the lamp installation area, and an outside of the lamp is covered by the window glass extension. [0003] However, since external lamps such as tail lamps and stop lamps provided at the rear corners of the vehicle body are obliged to be mounted on the vehicle body side, they are required to be mounted at the rear corners of the vehicle body. In the case of a vehicle provided with a rear door composed of a single-opening door or a double-opening (double door) door that is hinged so that it can be opened and closed, if the width of the rear opening of the vehicle body is sufficiently widened to approach the outside lamp, the hinge The protruding hinge portion impairs the appearance of the rear corner of the vehicle body. On the other hand, if the rear door hinge is provided inside the exterior lamp so as to avoid the protrusion of the hinge portion, the width of the rear opening of the vehicle body must be reduced accordingly. In addition, there is a problem that the light emission area of the outside lamp tends to be increased in order to increase the visibility of the following vehicle, which reduces the width of the rear opening of the vehicle body. It was conducive. In view of the above circumstances, the present invention is directed to a lamp capable of improving the visibility of an exterior lamp without sacrificing the width of the vehicle body opening and without impairing the appearance of the vehicle body corner. The purpose is to provide a structure. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A vehicle lamp structure according to the present invention is a vehicle lamp structure provided with a door which is hingedly supported at a corner of a vehicle body so as to be openable and closable. Structure, wherein the hinge is a rear opening of the vehicle body.
Along the side edges of the part
It is located outside the side edge of the rear opening in the vehicle width direction, and
Having an axis extending in the vertical direction, the said lamp, in a state where the door is closed at the vehicle body side of the corner portion
Together arranged in the area covered by the door, the closing
In a position facing the Flip was the lamp door, an opening that permits viewing from the outside of the lamp, not covered further the opening in the light-transmitting cover member, et provided on the door side
The translucent cover member conforms to the curved surface of the outer surface of the door.
And when the door is closed,
It is formed into a curved surface so as to be continuous with the surface.
To form part of the vehicle body corners, the lamp cover translucent cover member is provided on the vehicle body, the cover member, the ends of the provided et the translucent cover member on the door side And a concave surface along a turning locus drawn when the door is opened and closed. According to the present invention, the exterior lamp mounted on the vehicle body can be viewed from the outside through the opening provided in the door and the translucent cover member covering the opening. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the visibility of the vehicle exterior lamp while ensuring both the securing of the width of the vehicle body opening and the refreshing appearance. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a rear portion of a vehicle employing a ramp structure according to the present invention. The doors 3, 3 are hingedly supported at rear corners 2, 2 of a vehicle body 1, respectively. At the rear opening 4 of the vehicle body 1. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the right half of the rear opening 4 of the vehicle body 1 with the door 3 removed, and each rear corner 2 has an axis L extending vertically.
Are provided in the vehicle body 1 along the side edge 4a of the opening 4, and the door 3 is configured to be opened and closed about a hinge axis L as shown in FIG. Have been. Side edge 4a of opening 4 and upper and lower edges 4b, 4c
Is provided with a seal member 6. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, each of the rear corners 2 of the vehicle body 1 has a vertically long recess 7 that opens rearward in a region to be covered by the door 3 when the door 3 is closed. In the recess 7, a combination lamp 8 configured by vertically combining a plurality of exterior lamps such as a tail lamp and a stop lamp is provided. The opening of the recess 7 is
The lamp 8 is covered with a translucent cover member 9 also serving as a lens. On the other hand, on the door 3 side, an opening as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is provided at a position facing the lamp 8 so that the lamp 8 can be viewed from behind when the door 3 is closed. The opening 10 is formed.
Is covered with a light-transmissive cover member 11 shaped along the curved surface of the outer surface of the door 3. An end portion A of the cover member 11 that moves in an arc (in a plan view) as the door 3 opens and closes, and a translucent cover member that also functions as a lens of the lamp 8 provided on the vehicle body 1 side. In order to avoid interference with the vehicle body 9, the surface of the cover member 9 on the vehicle body 1 side is
As viewed in a plan view, the end A of the cover member 11 on the door 3 side is formed in a concave surface along the outer side of the turning locus drawn when the door is opened and closed. As is apparent from the above description, according to the present embodiment, although the lamp 8 is attached to the area of the vehicle body 1 which is closed by the door 3 when the door 3 is closed, Since the door 3 is provided with the opening 10 and the translucent cover member 11 that covers the opening 10, the lamp 8 can be connected to the opening 10 and the translucent cover member 11.
Thus, it is possible to enhance the visibility of the lamp 8 while ensuring the width of the opening 4 of the vehicle body 1 and the refreshing appearance of the corner 2 of the vehicle body at the same time.
