Especially when installing a side combination lamp, which requires blind work, the insertion groove 113 may be inserted into the small diameter portion 125 of the notch 121. There was a problem that the fitting work was not easy and required a lot of work time.

[Purpose of invention]

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, this idea was devised to eliminate the problems, and in particular,
The object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for a vehicle lamp that allows easy installation of the lamp, which requires blind work.

[Summary of the idea]

In order to achieve the above object, this invention has a boss protruding from the back side of the lamp, and a mounting bush consisting of an insertion groove and a fixing part formed on both sides of the boss on the free end side of the boss. In a vehicle lamp mounting structure in which the insertion groove of the mounting bush is slid through an insertion notch in a support member fixed to the vehicle body, and the mounting bush is fixed to the support member in a dual-supported manner by both fixing parts, the above-mentioned fixing One of the parts is formed to have a diameter larger than the notch of the support member and smaller than the width between the flanges bent at both ends of the support member, and the other part is formed to have a diameter larger than the width between the flanges bent at both ends of the support member. It was configured as follows.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of this invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 4.

1 to 4 show side combination lamps that are attached to both corners of the front of the vehicle body. The lamp 1 is constructed by adhesively fixing a lens 3 on the front side and a housing 5 on the back side, and a boss 7 is attached to protrude from the housing 5. Further, although not shown, the housing 5 is provided with a screw attachment portion and a lead wire to a power source similar to the conventional example shown in FIG.

A mounting bush 9 is adhesively fixed to the free end side of the boss 7, and the lamp 1 is mounted to a support member 11 on the vehicle body side via this mounting bush 9.

This mounting bush 9 has an insertion groove 13 formed in the circumferential groove, plate-shaped fixing parts 15 and 17 provided on both sides of the insertion groove 13, and a protrusion 17A on the outer fixing part 17 side. It is composed of.

The fixing portions 15 and 17 are formed such that the outside has a larger diameter than the inside, and the opposing surfaces 15a and 17a are formed into tapered surfaces that are inclined from the inside to the outside with the insertion groove 13 in between. In addition, the inner fixing part 17
The inner surface 17B is formed into a tapered surface.

On the other hand, the support member 11 on the vehicle body side has flanges 21 bent toward the inner surface 19a on both the upper and lower sides of the mounting portion 19 (upper and lower sides in FIG. 3), and is formed in a concave shape in cross-section. An insertion notch 23 opens downwardly and inwardly. As shown in FIG. 3, the insertion notch 23 has a large diameter portion 25 whose opening width is gradually narrowed from the open end side toward the inside, and a small diameter portion that is formed in the shape of a long hole and communicates with the large diameter portion 25. It consists of 27. The insertion notch 23 is inserted into the insertion groove 13 by sliding it from the open end side.
The lamp 1 is fixed to the mounting portion 19 of the support member 11 in a manner such that it is supported on both sides so as to be in contact with the support member 9a and the outer surface 19b.

In this fixed state, as shown in FIG.
The respective widths A, B, and C are set in the relationship A>B>C. Further, the diameters of the protruding portion 17A and the small diameter portion 27 of the insertion notch 23 are the same diameter as shown in FIG. 2, and are formed smaller than the diameter of the boss 7.

Next, the operation of one embodiment of this invention having the above structure will be explained.

To attach the lamp 1 to the support member 11, the attachment bush 9 is slid inward from the open end of the insertion notch 23 of the support member 11. By this sliding operation, the insertion groove 13 of the mounting bush 9 is inserted through the large diameter portion 25 and the small diameter portion 27 of the insertion notch 23 to the terminal position of the small diameter portion 27.

Specifically, the slide operation is performed in detail because the outer fixing part 15 is formed to have a larger diameter than the inner fixing part 17, so at the beginning of insertion when the insertion groove 13 is located in the large diameter part 25, the outer fixing part 15 is Only the opposing surface 15a comes into contact with the outer surface 19b of the mounting portion 19.

That is, the outer fixed part 15 and the inner fixed part 1
Since there is a diameter difference between the fixing part 15 and the fixing part 7, only the outer fixing part 15 can be brought into reliable contact with the mounting part 19.
Therefore, the outer fixing part 15 can be easily positioned on the outer surface 19b side of the mounting part 19 using the diameter difference as a guide, and the inner fixing part 17 can be easily positioned on the inner surface 19a side of the mounting part 19. . Therefore, both the fixing parts 15 and 17 are connected to the mounting part 19, respectively.
It can be positioned inside and outside of the
These fixing parts 15 and 17 act as guides, allowing the insertion groove 13 to pass through the small diameter part 2 of the insertion notch 23 very smoothly.
You can guide up to 7. After that, when the insertion groove 13 is inserted into the small diameter portion 27, the opposing surfaces 15a and 17a of the outer and inner fixing members 15 and 17 are inserted into the mounting portion 1.
Since the fixing portions 15 and 17 are in contact with both the inner surface 19a and the outer surface 19b of the fixing member 9, the fixing portions 15 and 17 serve as guides to ensure smooth operation. Then, the work is completed by fixing the parts with screws to the screw attachment parts (not shown).

In addition, although the above-mentioned embodiment shows an example in which the outer fixing part 15 is formed to have a larger diameter than the inner fixing part 17, conversely, the flange is directed outward and the inner fixing member is formed to have a larger diameter than the outer fixing member. It may also be formed into a shape.

[Effect of idea]

As is clear from the above explanation, according to this invention, both the fixing parts can be reliably positioned inside and outside the support member, so that the fixing parts can be slid while being located inside and outside the support member. especially when installing in a blind manner.
The installation of the lamp is extremely easy and the work time can be shortened.
