Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a stop lamp mounting structure suitable for mounting a stop lamp at an upper position in the rear end of an automobile body.

(Prior art and its problems) Conventionally, in two-box or one-box automobiles, a rectifying plate is attached to the rear end of the roof panel, and this rectifying plate allows the flow of light from the front side of the vehicle body onto the roof panel. Some devices are designed to blow the air flowing through the back window or back door onto the glass surface of the back window or back door, thereby removing water droplets, mud, etc. adhering to the glass surface.

For cars equipped with such a rectifying plate,
For the purpose of improving visibility, it may be desirable to mount the stop lamp at a position above the rear end of the vehicle body. Therefore, it is conceivable to attach the stop lamp using a conventionally known mounting structure, for example, the structure described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 57-37041. In the structure described in the above publication, the rear end edge of the parcel shelf is bent downward to form a side wall facing the rear of the vehicle body, and the stop lamp is installed in the mounting opening formed in this part, and its colored lens is placed outside the vehicle. It is designed to be installed in a protruding state.

However, according to this structure, since an opening is formed that directly communicates the inside of the car and the outside of the car, a seal structure is required in that part to prevent water from entering the inside of the car, and the structure of the lamp mounting part is changed. It gets complicated. Furthermore, since the stop lamp protrudes from the outer surface of the vehicle body, there is a problem in that the appearance quality of the vehicle body is degraded.

The specification and drawings of Utility Model Application No. 171351/1987, which was filed before the present application and published after the present application, include:
It has been proposed to attach a stop lamp to a plate-shaped member disposed laterally above the back door of a vehicle body. In particular, the first application of this utility model registration application
In the structure shown in the figures and FIG. 2, a stop lamp is attached to the lower side of a plate-shaped member that is placed above the back door and is thought to function as a current plate. Although this structure does not require the provision of an opening that communicates the inside and outside of the vehicle, the mounting position of the stop lamp protrudes downward from the lower edge of the plate-like member, which is unfavorable in terms of appearance. Furthermore, since the plate-like member is attached in a floating manner above the backdoor, a sense of continuity with the surface of the vehicle body is lost.

Furthermore, in the structure shown in FIG. 3 of this utility model registration application, the plate-like member is made of a transparent material, and the light of the stop lamp is directed rearward through this plate-like member. This structure can solve the problem of the stop lamp protruding downward from the lower edge of the plate-like member, but in order to attach the stop lamp below the plate-like member, the plate-like member must be placed at a sufficient distance upward from the back door. This results in a loss of continuity between the plate member and the surface of the vehicle body.

The purpose of this invention is to attach the stop lamp to the rectifier plate provided at the upper end of the back door.
To provide a mounting structure for a stop lamp of an automobile, which can secure an excellent appearance without losing the sense of continuity between a rectifying plate and the surface of a vehicle body.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In the mounting structure of the present invention, a sloped portion is formed at the rear end of the roof panel and is sloped downward toward the rear of the vehicle body, and the slope continues to the rear side of the sloped portion. The present invention is applied to an automobile body in which the upper end of the back door is arranged as shown in FIG. The upper end of the back door includes a front part that is located approximately along the extension line of the sloped part of the roof panel, and a front part that is bent downward from the rear end of the front part and approximately extends in the upward extension direction of the glass surface of the back door. An extending rear sloped surface is formed. A concave stop lamp mounting step is formed at the upper end of the back door from the front of the upper end to the rear inclined surface, and rectifier plates are installed at predetermined intervals above the upper end of the back door. . The current plate has a front slope extending substantially along the front portion of the upper end of the back door and a rear slope extending substantially along the rear slope, and is introduced between the current plate and the back door from the front side of the vehicle body. It forms a ventilation path that directs the airflow toward the door glass surface of the back door. A stop lamp that lights up when the brake is applied is fixed to the stop lamp mounting step in the ventilation passage, and the stop lamp is mounted on the rear slope of the current plate with its lens surface above the upper edge of the door glass. It is exposed towards the rear of the vehicle through the opening.

(Function) According to this configuration of the present invention, at the upper end of the back door, from the front part of the upper end to the rear inclined surface,
Since a recessed stop lamp mounting step is formed and the stop lamp is fixed to this mounting step, there is no need to raise the current plate extremely above the surface of the back door. In addition, since the shape of the current plate substantially follows the surface of the vehicle body, a sense of continuity between the current plate and the surface of the vehicle body is not lost.
