Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention is based on lighting equipment (such as side lights and turn signal lamps) that is installed on both sides of the front of the vehicle.
This relates to the structure of the lens of the lamp in an adjacent portion between the headlamp and the headlamp that is installed close to the lamp and inside the lamp, and its purpose is to:
The purpose is to provide a sense of unity between the two lights by illuminating the gap between the adjacent parts.

Regarding the conventional arrangement of vehicle lights of this type, for convenience, the first diagram shows the front left side of the vehicle in a plan view.
Referring to Figure A, the lamp _L1 is inside the lamp.
A headlamp L ₂ is installed adjacent to and inside L ₁ with a very small gap between them, and the two lamps are installed so that the adjacent parts do not appear to be separated by a gap. It is said that it is desirable for the two lights to appear as one, as if they were formed as one.

The specific structure will be _described with reference _{to FIG .}
As is well known, each end of the lamp is extended rearward and sealed to the respective lamp body B ₁ , B ₂ via a filler material P ₁ , P ₂ such as an adhesive or a gasket, respectively. Keep the edge of lens ₁ of the street light L ₁ in place.
A dummy portion d is formed in a T-shape extending toward the lens ₂ , and the gap g therebetween is normally maintained at about 1.5 mm.

However, in such a structure, the dummy part d of the lens ₁ is transparent because the lens is white, and the adhesive P ₁ and the lamp body B ₁ are seen through, which not only spoils the appearance in the daytime. During driving, sewage that scatters and rises from the road surface enters the relatively large cavity between the two lights L ₁ and L ₂ and adheres to the dummy part, making it easy for sewage to accumulate. A shadow area is formed between part d and the gap between the two lights, which appears to clearly separate the two lights and spoils the sense of unity of the light fixture itself.
It has the following disadvantages.

The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks with a simple structure, and the specific structure of the embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG. 2. In addition, the same parts as those in the conventional format are given the same reference numerals, avoiding duplicate explanations, and only describing the main features of the proposal.
Reference numeral ₁ denotes a lens of a lamp, and its dummy portion d is formed thickly so as to form a slope toward the rear end. That is, as you get closer to the rear of the headlight _L2 ,
The slope A is formed so that the thickness gradually increases.

The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration. Next, to describe the function and effect, as mentioned above, even if sewage is splashed from the road surface while driving, the dummy part d of the recording lens ₁ of the vehicle overhead light will not move toward the rear of the end. Since the wall is made thick and a slope is formed, the water will flow towards one point in the recess shown by the arrow in the drawing, and it will not get dirty as much as the one on the left.Moreover, when the light is on, the light emitted from the light source l ₀ will not be as dirty as shown in the drawing. from the side f ₂ of lens ₂ to the side f ₁ of lens ₁ ,
Furthermore, since it is reflected by the dummy part d and projected forward, the dummy part d shines, and the lens ₂ of the headlamp L ₂ and the lens ₁ of the lamp L ₁ simultaneously shine, and the lens ₁ , There is no shadow between _{the two} lights, and when both lights are on, there is a sense of unity and the appearance is not compromised. In addition, when the light is not lit, sunlight or other light hits the lens, and the light from the lens ₂ is seen through the slope A of the dummy part d, eliminating the dark area and causing the lens to
₁ and ₂ appear to be one and the same.
Furthermore, when viewed from the front of the lens ₁ , since the projection path is opposite to the projection path of the light source ₀ described above, it is reflected by the slope A of the dummy part d, and the side surface f ₂ of the lens L ₂ is always viewed. The lamp body, adhesive, etc. on the back side cannot be seen through, and the intended purpose of the present invention can be fully achieved.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the dummy portion d of the lens ₁ of the lamp _L1 has been described, but the same effect can be obtained even if the dummy portion d is formed on _{the lens 2 of} the headlamp L2. Of course.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] In two lamps disposed adjacent to each other, each end of which extends rearward and is sealed with each lamp body B ₁ , B ₂ through a filler at each end,
A dummy portion d is formed so that the end of the lens _l1 of one lamp extends toward the other lamp, and the dummy portion d extends toward the end of the other lamp. The slope A is formed so that the light emitted from the light source l ₀ of the other lamp passes through the side surfaces f ₂ and f ₁ and is projected in front of the lens l ₁ of the one lamp.
