Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field The present invention relates to a vehicle lamp, and in detail, it applies to a headlamp, a fog lamp (legally referred to as an auxiliary headlamp), etc. It pertains to a lamp that is assembled into an integral shape.

〓Conventional technology〓 When installing lighting equipment such as headlights, auxiliary headlights, and side illumination lights on an automobile at the same time, it is necessary to comply with the Ministry of Transport Ordinance.
No. 67 "Safety Standards for Road Transport Vehicles" stipulates that headlights must be installed below the horizontal plane that includes the center of the headlight, and in particular, as shown in Figure 3, headlights, which are the mainstream of modern automobile design, are stipulated. 23 and a fog lamp 24 (or side illumination lamp) which is an auxiliary headlamp are combined into an integral shape by adopting the front lens 22 of the same height. A flat part 24b is provided on the upper part of the mirror 24a to limit the height H of the light emitting part, and the axial height measured as H/2 is made lower than that of the headlight reflector 23a to meet the above standards. .

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above-described conventional shaft height regulating structure for the fog lamp 24, the flat portion 24b is viewed through the front lens 22 during daytime, and the front This caused a problem in that the design lacked a sense of unity with the illuminating light 23, making the viewer feel uncomfortable.

〓Means for Solving the Problems〓 The present invention is a concrete means for solving the problems that occur in the conventional structure described above, and is intended to solve the problems that arise in the conventional structure. In the shaft height regulating structure of the lamp, the lamp other than the headlight is provided with a reflector having the same axis height as the headlamp, and the light from the light source is directed to the appropriate upper half of the reflector. By providing a shaft height regulating structure for a vehicle lamp, which is characterized in that a light-shielding rib is provided substantially horizontally when mounted on a vehicle so as not to come into contact with the shaft.
During the daytime, it creates a sense of unity with the headlights,
This is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems.

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

What is indicated by the reference numeral 1 in FIG. 1 is a vehicle lamp, and this vehicle lamp 1 includes a headlamp 3 on the back of a front lens 2 that is at the same height as in the conventional example.
According to the present invention, the fog lamp reflector 4a of the fog lamp 4 has exactly the same height as the headlight reflector 3a, that is, the same axial height. Further, at an appropriate upper half position of the fog lamp reflector 4a, there is provided a mirror which is horizontal when mounted on the vehicle and which directs the light rays from the light source 5 such as the filament of a light bulb into contact with the fog lamp reflector 4a. A light-shielding rib 6 is provided to prevent light from entering the light. FIG. 2 shows this state in detail. The fog lamp reflector 4a is formed with a height H1 that spans almost the entire height of the front lens 2, and has the same shape as the headlight reflector 3a. and the effective surface is set to a height H2 by the light-shielding rib 6.
shall be limited to.

By forming it in this way, the axial height when the fog lamp 4 is turned on becomes H2/2, and naturally the axial height H/2 of the headlamp 3>the axial height H2/2 of the fog lamp 4, which is the above-mentioned rule. During the daytime when the lights are not lit, the fog lamp reflector 4a, which is the same as the headlight reflector 3a, is viewed through the front lens 2, providing a sense of unity. It becomes something that can be done.

At this time, the position where the light shielding rib 6 is provided is determined by the lens cut 2 formed on the front lens 2.
It is preferable that the light-shielding rib 6 be made coincident with the joint part a, since it will be difficult to see and will further exhibit the desired effect. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fog lamp 4 was used as an example of the lamp used in combination with the headlamp 3, but it may also be used in combination with a side illumination lamp that has similar regulations. Needless to say, it goes without saying that a combination of three lights, headlights, fog lights and side illumination lights, can also be implemented using the same means as explained above.

= Effects of the invention = As explained above, the present invention allows the reflector of a lighting device such as an auxiliary headlamp or a side lighting lamp to be integrated with the headlamp to be integrated with the headlamp. By forming it in the same shape as the headlight, and by shielding the upper half of the headlight with a light-shielding rib, the shaft height can be kept lower than the headlight when the light is on, satisfying regulations, and when the light is not on, during the daytime, the same shape can be achieved. This has an excellent effect in that it allows the user to view the reflector as if both lamps are provided, giving a sense of unity in design and not making the viewer feel uncomfortable.
