Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a corner pole for a vehicle that is installed upright on the bumper corner of a vehicle to indicate the corner position of the vehicle to the driver. , relates to a corner pole for a vehicle with a lamp that can be used even at night by lighting the lamp.

[Conventional technology]

Vehicle corner poles with lamps as mentioned above are
Equipped with a translucent cap-shaped lamp cover on the top,
By lighting this lamp, it can be used at night. In this case, the lamp cover is required to be easy to see in both cases by dealing with the difference in the driver's eye height and the difference in the distance from the driver's seat to the corner pole, so the lamp cover has a total length of 40 mm. Relatively long ones of ~50mm tend to be used.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

By the way, if this lamp cover is long, the light from the lamp will not reach the tip (top) sufficiently, and therefore, when the head lamp is turned on at night, the brightness at the tip will be insufficient and it will lose out to the brightness of the surroundings. There was a problem that the lamp cover became even more difficult to see.

The present invention solves these problems and provides a corner pole for a vehicle with a lamp that can illuminate the lamp cover sufficiently brightly to the tip with a single light source even if the lamp cover is relatively long. purpose.

[Means to solve the problem]

For this purpose, the present invention provides a corner pole for a vehicle with a lamp, which is provided with a translucent cap-shaped lamp cover on the upper part. The lamp cover is characterized in that a reflecting part that protrudes semispherically toward the lamp side and diffusely reflects the lamp light is formed so that the entire lamp cover shines with approximately the same amount of light.

[Effect]

With this method, when the lamp is lit, the lamp light is diffusely reflected by the reflective surface on the inner surface of the lamp cover.
The entire lamp cover, including the tip, shines brightly.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The corner pole for a vehicle with a lamp according to this embodiment has a tip pole 1, a second pole 2, and a third pole 3 made of pipe material that are slidably fitted in a telescopic manner as shown in FIG. A lamp device 4 is provided at the upper end of the tip pole 1. Each stage pole 1 to 3 is arranged, for example, at a corner of the front bumper 5 of the vehicle, and is contracted and stored in a storage cylinder 6 with its opening 6a facing the top surface of the front bumper 5. ing.
Note that the reference numeral 7 in FIG. 2 is a nut for fixing the storage cylinder 6 to the front bumper 5, and the reference numeral 8 is a nut for fixing the storage tube 6 to the front bumper 5.
When the third stage pole 3 is extended, its base end is inserted into the storage tube 6.
This is a support device using a coil spring to flexibly support the vehicle.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the lamp device 4, a cylindrical socket fitting 41 is fitted onto the tip of the tip pole 1 and fixed by caulking. A lamp earth line is formed along the path between the storage tube 6 and the front bumper 5. Further, a stepped rod-shaped power supply fitting 43 is held at the center of the socket fitting 41 via insulating bushes 44 and 45, and is connected to a + terminal of an on-vehicle battery (not shown) via a curl cord 42. This power supply fitting 43 has its axial movement regulated by a nut 46 screwed onto the tip.
It is pressed into contact with the lamp 47 screwed onto the socket fitting 41 to supply power.

Here, an elongated (approximately 40 to 50 mm) cap-shaped lamp cover 9 having approximately the same diameter as the tip pole 1 is screwed onto the tip of the socket fitting 41 to house the lamp 47 in a sealed state. This lamp cover 9
is made of a semi-transparent synthetic resin with an appropriate coloring, and a lid body 92 is fixed by adhesive or other means to the upper opening of a cylindrical body 91 which is screwed onto the socket fitting 41. configured. The outer circumference of the cylindrical body 91 below the position of the lamp 47 is coated with metal plating or the like to make it opaque, thereby blocking lamp light.

A lamp 47 is provided on the inner surface of the top of the lid body 92.
A reflective surface 93 that bulges out in a hemispherical shape is formed on the side, and this reflective surface 93 is plated with metal so that the lamp 4
It is designed to diffusely reflect the light of 7.

In the above configuration, the tip pole 1, second stage pole 2, and third stage pole 3 are pulled out from the storage tube 6 by pinching the lamp cover 9 to be used as a lamp cover. When the lamp 47 is turned on by a switch (not shown) during nighttime use, the lamp light is transmitted to the top inner surface of the lamp cover 9, that is, to the cover body 92.
Diffuse reflection occurs on the inner reflective surface 93, and the lamp cover 9 emits light from two places, upper and lower, as if the lamp cover 9 also had a light source at its tip. Therefore,
The entire colored semi-transparent part of the lamp cover 9 shines brightly, and the position of the tip of the corner pole is clearly displayed to the driver even when the head lamp is turned on.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment in which the reflecting surface formed on the lid body 92 is a mirror ball-shaped reflecting surface 94 made of a polyhedron based on a hemispherical shape. This embodiment also provides substantially the same effects as those of the previous embodiment.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show that the lamp cover 9 is made more abundant in emitting lamp light from the lamp cover 9.
Another example is shown in which a means for making the image brighter is applied. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, a glass fiber 95 is enclosed in a cylindrical body 91 of the lamp cover 9, and direct light from the lamp 47 and a reflecting surface 93 are enclosed.
The reflected light from the cylindrical body 91 further causes diffuse reflection when it hits the glass fiber 95, and is radiated more abundantly to the outside from the periphery of the cylindrical body 91. Therefore, the lamp cover 9 shines more uniformly and brightly in the vertical direction.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of narrow grooves 96 are formed on the inner surface of a cylindrical body 91 of the lamp cover 9, passing in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the direct light and reflected light of the lamp 47 are more clearly radiated to the outside through the narrow groove 96, so that the uniformity of brightness in the vertical direction of the lamp cover 9 is corrected.

The embodiments described above are applicable not only to multi-stage telescopic vehicle corner poles but also to motor-driven vehicle corner poles.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the corner pole for a vehicle with a lamp of the present invention, when the lamp is lit, the lamp cover reflects diffusely at the tip and the entire lamp cover shines brightly up to the tip, so even if the lamp cover is relatively long, the headlight can still be illuminated. Even when the lights are on, they can be clearly seen from the driver's seat, improving the visibility of the corner poles. Moreover, the structure is simple, and manufacturing is easy and can be produced at low cost.
