[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, for example, in the rear of a car body,
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a rear combination lamp 10, which is an equipment part, is installed at a distance above a rear bumper 20 installed at the lower rear of the vehicle body.
In other words, a rear combination lamp 10 and a rear bumper 20 are arranged and fixed at a distance from each other in the vertical direction of the vehicle at the rear of the vehicle body. And this rear combination lamp 10
(lower part) and the rear bumper 20 (upper part), in order to pass the exterior color of the lower back panel 90 that is the vehicle body (to cover the above-mentioned gap), for example, the lower back panel 90 is protruded (squeezed) to the outside of the vehicle. Although it is conceivable that the lower back panel 90 may be formed on the same surface as the outer surface of the rear combination lamp 10, the lower back panel 90 may be arranged and fixed to the rear combination lamp 10. As shown in Fig. 5, a recess is formed (deeply drawn and formed) on the passenger compartment side in order to fix the structure so that it does not protrude outside the vehicle. The rear combination lamp 1 is inserted in the opposite direction (outside of the vehicle) from the attachment point of the rear combination lamp 10 on the lower back panel 90 as described above.
The lower back panel 90 is formed to protrude (deeply drawn) to a position substantially flush with the outer surface of the lower back panel 90.
That is impossible. That is, the lower back panel 90 is installed to cover the space between the rear combination lamp 10 (lower part) and the rear bumper 20 (upper part).
It is not possible to form a protrusion toward the outside of the vehicle (so-called integral formation).

Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, there is a gap between the rear combination lamp 10 (lower part) and the rear bumper 20 (upper part), which are arranged and fixed at a distance in the vertical direction of the vehicle. Rear bumper 20 (or vehicle body lower back panel 9)
A member called a rear bumper filler 30 of the same color as 0) is attached so as to be located substantially on the same surface as the outer surface of the rear combination lamp 10.

As a method of attaching the rear bumper filler 30, for example, as shown in FIG. Upper and lower edges 31 of the filler 30
0,320 are fixed by spot welding, and the bracket 40a to which the rear bumper filler 30 is fixed is fastened to the lower back panel 90 using stud bolts V and nuts N welded to the bracket 40a (other end). Accordingly, the rear bumper filler 30 is installed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a mounting member 40 for mounting the rear bumper filler 30 is integrally formed from the rear combination lamp 10 (lower part) toward the rear bumper 20. Upper and lower edges 310, 32 of the rear bumper filler 30 (approximately U-shaped in cross section)
Claw portions 50, 50 are formed protrudingly at portions facing the rear bumper filler 30, respectively.
Each of the claws 50 of the mounting member 40 is fitted into each of the upper and lower edges 310, 320 of the mounting member 40.
Attachment holes 60 and 60 are respectively formed in the parts facing the rear bumper filler 30 (the upper and lower edges 310 and 320) and each of the claws 50 of the attachment member 40 are connected to each other. There is an attachment method in which the rear bumper filler 30 is attached by fitting.

Incidentally, as a conventional technology showing a configuration in which a rear bumper filler (rear end panel) is provided between the rear combination lamp and the rear bumper, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 149260/1983 (Utility Application No. 45897/1989) No.).

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the case of the (rear) bumper filler mounting structure shown in FIG. 5, the rear bumper filler 30 (upper and lower edges 310, 32
0) and fastens this bracket 40a to the lower back panel 90 with stud bolts V and nuts N, the number of parts increases and costs (parts costs, production costs, etc.) increase. , each work man-hour (installation work man-hour, etc.) increases and work efficiency (installation workability) decreases.

In addition, in the case of the (rear) bumper filler mounting structure shown in FIG. 310, 320), and in such an attached state, the attached rear bumper filler 3
As is clear from FIG. 6, for example, the vehicle may wobble in the vertical direction (and in the vehicle width direction), which reduces the so-called mounting rigidity.
The rear bumper filler 30 is attached to the mounting member 40.
cannot be installed securely and firmly.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to reduce the number of man-hours required for each work (installation work) of the bumper filler installed between the bumper and equipment such as a rear combination lamp, and to improve the work efficiency (installation workability).
