Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Technical field of the invention> This invention relates to a vehicle lamp. More specifically, the present invention relates to a vehicle lamp that is improved in its attachment to a vehicle body.

<Prior art and its problems> Generally speaking, among vehicle lighting equipment, rear combination lamps for automobiles are equipped with multiple types of lamps such as back clamps, tail and stop lamps, turn signal lamps, etc., and are placed on both sides of the rear of the vehicle body. There is.

It is difficult to attach this rear combination lamp to the vehicle body, which places a considerable burden on assembly line workers.

That is, Figure 3 shows a worker attaching a rear combination lamp to a car body on an assembly line, and inserts a nut (described later) from behind rear combination lamp D fitted into the rear side of car body A. It is a tightening work,
A worker is working with his upper body bent over inside the trunk compartment B with the trunk lid C open. In the conventional rear combination lamp D, the worker had to bend his or her upper body considerably into the trunk room B in order to tighten the nut. This not only makes the work difficult, but also tends to cause lower back pain, resulting in a reduction in assembly efficiency.

FIG. 5 shows the work of installing a conventional rear combination lamp D. A front lens f consisting of an inner lens _f1 and an outer lens _f2 ,
A light source bulb b is housed in a lamp chamber defined by a lamp body d and a back cover g, and a suitable number of head stud bolts for attachment to a vehicle body are provided at the upper and lower edges of the lamp body d. The lamp body d of such a rear combination lamp D is fitted into the through hole U for the lamp in the vehicle body a, and the hole drilled in the vehicle body a is
Insert the bolt k into _a1 . After that, tighten the nut m onto the bolt k from inside the trunk room B to secure the rear combination lamp D to the vehicle body a. Incidentally, when tightening the nut m, the nut m is usually held at the tip of the air tool e. In this work of tightening nut m, tighten bolt k near the opening of trunk room B.
Since it is located above the lamp body d, it is easy to see, and the worker can relatively easily tighten the nut without having to bend down much. The problem is the bolt k located below the lamp body d relative to the paper.
This is the work of tightening the nut m. Since this bolt k is shorter than the width of the lamp body d, it is hidden behind the lamp body d and cannot be seen from the opening of the trunk room B. Therefore, the worker bends down extremely in the direction of the arrow R into the trunk room B, and the eye E is located within the range where the bolt k can be seen, that is, at least on the line of sight L connecting the tip of the bolt k and the lower edge of the lamp body d. It was necessary to bend down to the extent possible to align the central axis of nut m with the central axis of bolt k, and then tighten the nut m. In addition,
j in the figure is a gasket fixed to the tip of the vehicle body a around the opening of the trunk room B.

<Purpose of the invention> This invention provides a vehicle lamp that eliminates the work-related drawbacks of conventional vehicle lamp installation as described above, facilitates the lamp installation work, and contributes to improved assembly efficiency. It is something to do.

<Structure of the invention> In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a lamp equipped with a plurality of car body mounting bolts protruding from the back of the lamp. This vehicle lamp has a transparent part formed on the back of the lamp body near the bolt so that the bolt can be seen from diagonally above the back of the lamp.

<Example of the invention> Next, Figs. 1 to 3 show an example of the invention.
The diagram will be explained.

FIG. 1 shows an overall rear perspective view of an automobile rear combination lamp 1 to which the present invention is applied.
This rear combination lamp 1 has vehicle body mounting bolts 61, 62, 63, and 64 protruding from the lamp body. Transparent part 1A on the back,
1B respectively. FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a main part as viewed from the lower Y direction arrow in FIG. Transparent materials 43 and 44 are formed in areas adjacent to 34 to form transparent parts 1A and 1B.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the - line in FIG.
The lamp structure other than this is basically the same as the structure explained in FIG. 4 above. That is, inner lens 1
1 and an outer lens 12, a lamp body consisting of a synthetic resin housing 3 and a back cover 4, and a light source bulb in a lamp chamber defined by the front lens 10 and the lamp body. 5 built-in, the flange 32 of the housing 3
Insert the heads of bolts 61, 62, 63, and 64 into. Furthermore, a groove 31 is formed around the front opening of the housing 3.
This groove 31 is filled with a sealing agent such as hot melt, and the peripheral leg portion of the outer lens 12 is adhesively fixed. A rim 2 is arranged and fixed on the front surface of this peripheral leg. On the other hand, the vehicle body 8 has a through hole 80 into which the housing 3 is fitted, and bolts 61, 62, 6.
Holes 81 to 84 (partially not shown) are formed through the holes 3 and 64, respectively, and the rear combination lamp 1 is fitted into the vehicle body 8 as shown in the figure. As shown in the figure, a nut 71 is tightened on the bolt 61, and a nut 73 is tightened on the bolt 63 using the air tool 1B. In particular, regarding the lower bolt 63, the housing 3
Since the transparent part 1A is formed by the through hole 33 of the back cover 4 and the transparent material 43 of the back cover 4, the operator can remove the tip of the bolt 63 from the transparent part 1A by simply bending his upper body slightly in the direction of arrow S into the trunk room B. This allows the nut 73 to be tightened more easily than in the past. 9 in the figure is a patch skin.

In this embodiment, two transparent parts are illustrated, but the number is not limited to this number, as a matter of course.

<Effects of the invention> As detailed above, since the vehicle lamp of the present invention is constructed as described above, it is not necessary to tighten the nuts on the bolts on the lower side of the lamp as in the conventional work. This eliminates the need for the person to bend his or her upper body into the trunk room, reducing back pain and significantly improving the ease of assembly into the vehicle body.
