  However, in the configuration described in Patent Document 1, the length of the cylindrical portion of the housing to be engaged with the end portion of the mounting stay is shortened in order to facilitate the detachment of the housing. The part will be exposed to the outside. As a result, when the housing is assembled to the mounting stay, the seam generated between the tubular portion and the mounting stay may deteriorate the appearance. In addition, when the mounting stay is formed of rubber or the like for vibration prevention or sealing function, there is a problem that the portion that comes into contact with the outside air is likely to deteriorate, and it is difficult to achieve both assembly and appearance.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a winker apparatus that solves the above-described problems of the prior art, facilitates the attaching / detaching operation of the mounting stay and the winker housing, and can enhance the aesthetic appearance.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a winker device in which a winker valve is provided at a position spaced from a mounting portion to a vehicle body to the outside of the vehicle body, the winker valve is attached to one end side, and the other end A mounting stay provided with a vehicle body mounting portion on the side, and a housing provided with a storage portion for the winker valve at one end of a cylindrical portion having an inner diameter through which the winker valve can pass. The inner peripheral surface of the portion and the outer peripheral surface of the mounting stay are each tapered so that the outer diameter decreases toward the outer side of the vehicle body, and the housing is inserted into the mounting stay and assembled. The winker valve is housed in the housing portion, and the tubular portion extends to the vehicle body attachment portion so that the attachment stay is covered by the tubular portion. There are first features.

  Further, a small-diameter portion on the outer side of the vehicle body and a large-diameter portion on the inner side of the vehicle body are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion and the outer peripheral surface of the mounting stay, respectively, and the housing is attached to the mounting stay. When inserted and assembled, the small diameter portion of the cylindrical portion and the small diameter portion of the mounting stay are engaged, and the large diameter portion of the mounting stay and the large diameter portion of the mounting stay are engaged. There is a second feature in that a seal member is provided between the small diameter portion of the mounting stay and the small diameter portion of the housing.

  In addition, the small diameter portion is arranged in a radial direction with respect to the large diameter portion so that a portion of the tapered surface of the small diameter portion is continuously formed with a portion of the tapered surface of the large diameter portion. There is a third feature in that it is biased.

  Further, the tapered surface of the cylindrical portion and the tapered surface of the mounting stay are formed so as to contact each other when the housing is inserted and assembled to the mounting stay. There are four features.

  The mounting stay has a large-diameter portion formed with a plurality of ribs oriented in the longitudinal direction and standing outward in the radial direction, and the tapered surface is formed on an end surface of the rib. A fifth feature is that the rib is configured such that the end surface of the rib is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion when the housing is inserted and assembled to the mounting stay.

  In addition, a socket for supporting the winker valve is provided at one end of the small diameter portion of the mounting stay, and the large diameter portion of the mounting stay has a notch and a gap between the notch and the vehicle body mounting portion. A sixth feature is that a through-hole through which a harness is passed is formed, and a terminal portion of the socket is disposed so as to protrude into the notch.

  Further, when the housing is inserted into the mounting stay and assembled, a drainage passage is formed between the portion where the rib is not formed and the inner peripheral surface of the housing. The point has the seventh feature.

  An eighth feature is that at least one of the small-diameter portion of the mounting stay and the small-diameter portion of the tubular portion is provided with an engaging portion for holding the housing in a state where the housing is inserted into the mounting stay. There are features.

  Furthermore, the attachment stay and the housing are ninth characterized in that they are formed of a hard member having a small friction coefficient when they are slid relative to each other.

  According to the first feature, the inner peripheral surface of the tubular portion of the housing and the outer peripheral surface of the mounting stay are each tapered so that the outer diameter decreases toward the outer side of the vehicle body. Since the housing is inserted and assembled, when the housing is inserted into the mounting stay, the taper surface serves as a guide and smoothly slides to obtain a winker device that facilitates both attachment and detachment operations. . Further, when both are assembled, the entire mounting stay is covered with the housing, so that the mounting stay is not exposed to the outside. As a result, it is possible to prevent the attachment stay from deteriorating. Further, the appearance of the winker device can be determined by the shape of the housing, and it becomes easy to increase the degree of freedom of design of the winker device and enhance the appearance. Therefore, even when the tubular portion is extended and the entire mounting stay is covered with the housing, the attaching / detaching operation can be easily performed.

  According to the second feature, a small-diameter portion on the outer side of the vehicle body and a large-diameter portion on the inner side of the vehicle body are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the tubular portion and the outer peripheral surface of the mounting stay, respectively. When the housing is inserted and assembled, the small-diameter portion of the cylindrical portion and the small-diameter portion of the mounting stay are engaged, and a seal member is provided between the two, so by a relatively small seal member, It is possible to seal between the housing and the mounting stay. Thereby, it can prevent that a water | moisture content permeates into the accommodating part of a winker valve | bulb from the outside. Further, since the seal member is provided in the small diameter portion, the contact area between the seal member and the housing and the sliding distance at the time of insertion can be reduced, so the frictional resistance at the time of insertion at the seal portion is reduced, The assembling property can be improved while ensuring a sufficient sealing property.

  According to the third feature, a portion of the tapered surface of the small diameter portion is biased in the radial direction with respect to the large diameter portion so as to be continuously formed with a portion of the tapered surface of the large diameter portion. Therefore, by making a part of the small diameter part continuous with a part of the large diameter part, the guide range by the taper can be increased, and the housing can be attached and detached more easily. Further, since the tapered surface continuous from the small diameter part to the large diameter part is formed only in a part, it is easy to fit in the correct direction when the housing is inserted, and the troublesome positioning during assembly is reduced.

  According to the fourth feature, the tapered surface of the cylindrical portion and the tapered surface of the mounting stay are formed so as to contact each other when the housing is inserted into the mounting stay and assembled. When the taper surface is in contact with each other, backlash between components during assembly is reduced, and both can be stably fixed.

  According to the fifth feature, the large diameter portion of the mounting stay is formed with a plurality of ribs that are oriented in the longitudinal direction and are erected outward in the radial direction, and the tapered surface is formed on the end surface of the rib. When the housing is inserted into the mounting stay and assembled, the rib end surface is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion, so that the rib portion of the portion where the rib is not formed This makes it possible to reduce the weight of the mounting stay while maintaining sufficient rigidity.

  According to the sixth feature, a socket for supporting the winker valve is provided at one end of the small diameter portion of the mounting stay, and the large diameter portion of the mounting stay has a notch and a gap between the notch and the vehicle body mounting portion. A through-hole through which the harness is passed is formed, and the terminal portion of the socket is disposed so as to protrude into the notch, so that the harness can be disposed inside the mounting stay to reduce the size of the blinker device. . In addition, since the socket and the harness can be positioned and fixed to the mounting stay, respectively, both can be connected at the notch portion, so that the assembling work is facilitated. In addition, it is possible to visually check the connection state at the notch. Further, if the turn signal housing is inserted into the mounting stay, the outside of the notch is covered with the housing, so that moisture, dust and the like are not likely to enter the notch, and the appearance is not affected.

  According to the seventh feature, the drainage passage is formed between the portion where the rib is not formed and the inner peripheral surface of the housing when the housing is inserted and assembled to the mounting stay. Therefore, for example, when the housing is assembled to the mounting stay, even when moisture is attached to the large diameter portion, it can be smoothly removed from the drain passage.

  According to the eighth feature, at least one of the small-diameter portion of the mounting stay and the small-diameter portion of the cylindrical portion is provided with the engaging portion for holding the state where the housing is inserted into the mounting stay. Before the mounting stay and the housing are fixed to each other with a screw or the like, both can be temporarily fixed by the holding force of the engaging portion, and the assembling work is facilitated.

  According to the ninth feature, since the mounting stay and the housing are formed of a hard member having a small coefficient of friction when they are slid with each other, for example, one or the other of the mounting stay and the housing is a flexible rubber or the like. Compared to the case where the housing is formed, the work of inserting the housing into the mounting stay is facilitated. Further, when the housing is inserted into the mounting stay, both parts are prevented from being deformed and not smoothly inserted.

  In the winker device 20 according to the present embodiment, when the housing 21 is pushed from the vehicle body outer side of the mounting stay 30 to a predetermined position, the winker valve 24 is disposed inside the storage portion 23 and the mounting stay 30 is It is comprised so that it may be covered with the cylindrical part 22 and may not be exposed outside. According to this configuration, the boundary between the mounting stay 30 and the housing 21 is not visible, and the appearance of the blinker device 20 can be determined by the design of the housing 21. Moreover, since the mounting stay 30 does not touch the outside air, the mounting stay 30 can be protected. Further, even after the vehicle body is attached, the housing can be removed simply by removing the fixing screw 40, and the winker valve 24 can be easily inspected and replaced.

  In the mounting stay 30 according to the present embodiment, a small-diameter portion 31 on the outer side of the vehicle body and a large-diameter portion 32 on the inner side of the vehicle body are formed. And the outer peripheral surface 31a of the small diameter part 31 and the outer peripheral surface 32a of the large diameter part 32 are each formed in the taper shape from which an outer diameter reduces toward a vehicle body outer side. Further, the inner peripheral surface 22 a of the cylindrical portion 22 of the housing 21 is also formed in a taper shape that matches the shapes of the small diameter portion 31 and the large diameter portion 32 of the mounting stay 30. According to such a configuration, the taper surfaces formed on the mounting stay 30 and the housing 21 serve as a guide when the housing 21 is inserted from the outside of the mounting stay 30 to the vehicle body. For example, the housing 21 is assembled. At this time, even if the housing 21 is slightly inclined with respect to the axial direction of the mounting stay 30, the assembling work can be performed smoothly.

  The mounting stay 30 and the housing 21 can be formed of a hard resin having a small friction coefficient when both are slid. Thereby, there is little frictional resistance at the time of inserting and fitting the housing 21 to the mounting stay, and since parts are not deformed and caught, workability can be improved.

Referring also to FIG. 5, a substantially rectangular parallelepiped notch 34 is formed on the front side of the large diameter portion 32 in the vehicle body. The socket 27 is disposed such that a terminal portion 28 projects into the notch 34. A harness 44 for supplying power to the winker valve 24 is disposed so as to penetrate the large diameter portion 32 of the mounting stay 30 and protrude into the notch 34. According to such a configuration, when the mounting stay 30 is assembled, it is easy to connect the socket 27 and the harness 44 from the outside of the notch 34 with the solder 29 or the like after positioning the socket 27 and the harness 44. The mounting shaft 41 according to the present embodiment is formed of metal or the like and is embedded in the large diameter portion 32 of the mounting stay 30, and the harness 44 is configured to pass through the through hole 35 of the mounting shaft 41. ing. The mounting shaft 41 may be formed integrally with the large-diameter portion 32 as with the positioning protrusion 38.

  Further, a lower rib 52 and an upper rib 53 erected outward in the radial direction are formed along the longitudinal direction of the mounting stay 30 in the vehicle body vertical direction of the notch 34.

  8 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line DD of FIG. The same reference numerals as those described above denote the same or equivalent parts. Please refer to FIG. In the section taken along the line D-D, the large-diameter portion 32 of the mounting stay 30 is constituted by four ribs (front rib 51, rear rib 50, upper rib 53, lower rib 52) in the vertical direction of the vehicle body. The end surfaces (50a, 51a, 52a, 53a) on the outer sides in the radial direction of the four ribs form a tapered surface that contacts the inner peripheral surface 22a of the cylindrical portion 22. That is, since the outer peripheral surface 32a of the large-diameter portion 32 in the present embodiment is configured by the radially outer end surfaces of the four ribs, the contact area with the inner peripheral surface 22a of the cylindrical portion 22 is very small. It becomes. According to such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the weight while eliminating the thickness of the portion where the rib is not formed and maintaining the sufficient rigidity of the mounting stay 30. Moreover, since the contact area with the inner peripheral surface 22a of the cylindrical part 22 may be small, it becomes possible to reduce the sliding resistance at the time of assembly | attachment and to improve workability | operativity.

  FIG. 10 is a view in the E direction of FIG. 5 with the rubber member 42 (see FIG. 9) removed. Please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 8 together. The lower rib 52 and the upper rib 53 of the attachment stay 30 are extended to the vehicle body attachment portion side of the attachment stay 30. As a result, a drainage passage 55 communicating with the space formed between the four ribs is formed in the vehicle body longitudinal direction of the lower rib 52 and the upper rib 53. According to the drainage passage 55, even when moisture is attached to the large diameter portion 32 when the housing 21 is assembled to the mounting stay 30, it can be smoothly discharged. Since the drainage passage 55 is formed in the vertical direction of the vehicle body, the drainage passage 55 always exists below even when the four blinker devices 20 are used as common parts and the top and bottom are attached in the reverse direction. Further, as shown in FIG. 11 which is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 7, communication holes 90 and 91 communicating with the drainage passage 55 are formed in the wall member constituting the notch 34. According to the communication holes 90 and 91, even when moisture enters the notch 34, it can be discharged from the drain hole 55 to the outside. The arrangement and shape of the communication holes 90 and 91 can be variously modified.

  As described above, according to the winker device of the present invention, the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the housing and the outer peripheral surface of the mounting stay are each tapered so that the outer diameter decreases toward the outer side of the vehicle body. By inserting and attaching the housing to the mounting stay, the winker valve is stored in the housing storage portion, and the cylindrical portion extends to the vehicle body mounting portion so that the mounting stay is covered by the cylindrical portion. Since it is comprised, when inserting a housing in an attachment stay, a winker apparatus which a taper surface serves as a guide and slides smoothly and makes both attachment and detachment work easy is obtained. Further, when both are assembled, the entire mounting stay is covered with the housing, so that the mounting stay is not exposed to the outside. As a result, it is possible to prevent deterioration of the mounting stay, and it is possible to determine the appearance of the winker device according to the shape of the housing. Moreover, even if it is a case where it extends so that a cylindrical part may be extended and the whole attachment stay may be covered with a housing, the attachment or detachment operation | work of a housing can be performed easily.

  The shape and mounting position of the blinker device, the shape of the mounting stay and housing, the size and arrangement relationship of the small diameter portion and the large diameter portion, the angle of the tapered surface, the shape and structure of the seal member, etc. are not limited to the above-described embodiments. Various modifications are possible. For example, in the above embodiment, four ribs are formed on the mounting stay, but the number of ribs may be three or five, or conversely, no ribs may be provided.
