Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention relates to a vehicle lamp, and in particular, a mounting hole is provided at the mounting position, a housing is inserted into the mounting hole, and a housing is provided at both ends. This invention relates to a mounting structure for a relatively small lamp or light bulb socket whose flange-shaped mounting portion is screwed onto the vehicle body or the like.

〓Prior Art〓 The conventional mounting structure of this type of vehicle lamp is as shown in Fig. 3, in which the housing 11 is inserted into a mounting hole 13a provided in a mounting seat 13 of a vehicle body, etc.
After passing the connector 15 and the cord 14 through, place the lamp attachment parts 11a provided at both ends of the housing 11 on the surface side of the mounting seat surface 13, and tighten the screws together with the lens 12 from the same surface side. 16, and then the connector 15 is connected to a coupler (not shown) on the back side of the mounting seat surface 13.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-mentioned conventional structure of the vehicle lamp, the process of passing the cord 14 and connector 15 through the mounting hole 13a is unavoidable, and the process is slow. The problem is that it becomes complicated, and the size of the connector 15 that can be used is limited by the mounting hole 13a.

The step of passing the connector 15 described above is as follows:
The connector 15 is limited to being used exclusively for the lamp equipped with this connector, and even when multiple lamps of this type are installed in close proximity, it is impossible to integrate them, and the number of man-hours cannot be reduced. problem.

etc.

〓Means for Solving the Problems〓 As a specific means for solving the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention is a vehicle lamp having a collar-shaped lamp mounting portion provided at both ends of the housing. In the mounting structure for a vehicle lamp, the lamp mounting part is placed on the surface side of the mounting seat and is screwed together with the lens from the surface side, wherein the collar-shaped lamp mounting part The above-mentioned conventional problems are solved by providing a mounting structure for a vehicle lamp, characterized in that a hinge portion is provided on either one of the two.

〓Example〓 Next, the present invention will be explained in detail based on an example shown in the drawings.

What is indicated by the reference numeral 1 in FIG. 1 is a housing for a vehicle lamp, and although not shown, a light bulb is attached to the housing 1 in the same way as in the conventional example, and a cord and a connector are also attached in the same way. It is. Furthermore, although the connector 1 is provided with a flange-shaped mounting part 1a and a flange-shaped mounting part 1b at both ends as in the conventional example, the present invention allows one of the two ends (in the figure, the side of the mounting part 1b A hinge portion 1c is formed in the attachment portion of the hinge portion (shown in ) so as to be bendable by an appropriate means such as forming a groove-like portion.

〓Operation〓 By providing the hinge portion 1c on one of the mounting portions 1b in this way, the housing 1 of the present invention can be mounted on the mounting seat surface 3.
When installing to the mounting hole 3a provided in the second
As shown in FIG. The second mounting portion 1b is bent at the hinge portion 1c and passed through the mounting hole 3a.
As shown in FIG. C, it is arranged at a predetermined position, and from then on, it is sufficient to screw it on as explained in the conventional example.

〓Effects of the invention〓 As explained above, by providing a hinge portion on either side of the mounting portion according to the present invention, it is possible to set the housing at a predetermined position from the back side during the installation process, which is different from the conventional method. This has the effect of eliminating the process of passing the connector through the mounting hole, which made this installation process complicated in the example, and thereby reducing the number of man-hours, and furthermore, eliminating the process of passing the connector through the mounting hole described above. When multiple housings of this type are installed in close proximity, it is possible to share the connector, which has the effect of reducing the number of parts. Overall, the above results are excellent in cost reduction. It is effective.
