Make each lamp visible as an integrated lamp. [Structure] A second lamp (turn signal lamp) 200 having the same height and arranged adjacent to the first lamp (headlamp) 100 is composed of a lens 14 of the same color as the lens 4 of the first lamp. In addition, the inner surface of the lamp body of the second lamp and the lens are divided corresponding to the step patterns 5 and 6 provided on the lens of the first lamp, and the inner surface of the lamp body is provided with a different reflection surface corresponding to this section. In addition, the lens 14 is formed with step patterns 19 and 20 corresponding to the sections.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial application]

 The present invention relates to a vehicular lamp, and more particularly to a vehicular lamp in which two lamps arranged in parallel are integrally visible.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In recent years, automotive lamps often have a configuration in which a plurality of rectangular lamps are arranged in parallel. For example, in the case of configuring a front lamp of an automobile, a head lamp is arranged as a first lamp and a turn signal lamp as a second lamp is arranged outside the head lamp. In such cases, the height of the headlamps and the height of the turn signal lamps are usually the same, and the two lamps appear to be integrally visible in order to improve the automobile design.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In this way, for example, when the headlamp and turn signal lamp are to be integrated in appearance, the headlamp lens is usually formed as a transparent color, although the height dimensions of both lamps are the same. Lens is formed as an amber color, and since the arrangement of the step patterns formed on the lens of each lamp has not been considered in the past, both lamps actually appear as separate lamps. There is a problem that the intended purpose of the design will not be achieved. An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicular lamp in which different lamps are made to appear to be integrated.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The vehicular lamp according to the present invention comprises a second lamp having the same height and arranged adjacent to the first lamp with a lens having the same color as that of the first lamp, and a lamp body of the second lamp. The inner surface and the lens are partitioned according to the step pattern provided on the lens of the first lamp, and the inner surface of the lamp body is configured as a different reflection surface corresponding to this partition, and the lens has a step corresponding to the partition. A pattern is formed.

[0005]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, it is possible to make the appearances of the first lamp and the second lamp that are used for different purposes be integrally visible.

[0006]

【Example】

 Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partial front view of a front lamp of an automobile using the vehicle lamp of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a transverse sectional view taken along the line AA, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged vertical sectional view taken along the line BB. is there. In these figures, 100 is a head lamp, and 200 is a turn signal lamp disposed adjacent to the outside of the head lamp. The headlamp 100 includes a light bulb 2 inside a lamp body 1, and a reflector 3 arranged around the light bulb. A transparent lens 4 is attached to the front opening of the lamp body 1. The lens 4 has a step pattern for obtaining a desired light distribution characteristic. In this step pattern, generally, in order to limit the upward and downward irradiation of light, the upper, middle, and lower portions of the lens are divided into strips, and relatively fine step patterns 5 are formed in the upper and lower portions, respectively. A rough step pattern 6 is formed in the central section, and the appearance of the lens 4 of the headlamp 100 has three bands due to the difference between the step patterns 5 and 6.

On the other hand, in the turn signal lamp 200, the lamp body 11 is arranged adjacent to the lamp body 1 of the headlamp 100, and the inner surface of the lamp body 11 corresponds to upper, middle and lower sections of the lens 4 of the headlamp. The light bulb 12 is supported by the socket 13 in the central compartment, and the light bulb 12 is covered with an amber-colored cap 15. Then, as shown in a perspective view of the inside of FIG. 4, aluminum is vapor-deposited on the inner surfaces of the upper and lower compartments of the lamp body 11 to form a silver-colored reflective surface 11a. Further, the inner surface of the lamp body 11 in the central section where the light bulb insertion hole 16 is formed is painted amber to form an amber reflecting surface 11b. In this embodiment, in order to clarify each section, a rib 17 extending in the lateral direction is projected between the upper, middle and lower inner surfaces of the lamp body 11. In this case, the upper and lower surfaces of the rib 17 are subjected to a surface treatment corresponding to each section. Reference numeral 18 is a mounting hole for mounting the turn signal lamp 20 on the vehicle body.

Further, the lens 14 attached to the front surface of the lamp body 11 is formed in the same color as the lens 4 of the headlamp, and the upper and lower parts of the lamp body 11 are made to correspond to the upper, lower and middle sections. After being divided into strips, the upper and lower sections are provided with the same fine step patterns 19 as the upper and lower sections of the headlamp lens. Further, in the central section, a rough step pattern 20 is formed as in the central section of the lens 4 of the headlamp. In addition, in order to satisfy the regulations, a part 14a of the lens 14 is projected to the outside so that a part of the central section can be confirmed from the rear of the vehicle.

According to this configuration, the head lamp 100 and the turn signal lamp 200 are arranged with the lenses 4 and 14 of the same color, and the lenses 4 and 14 have the same step patterns 5 and 19 at the upper and lower portions, respectively. The same step patterns 6 and 20 are formed at the same height dimension and height position in the central portion as well. When the turn signal lamp 200 is not lit, the upper and lower sections of the turn signal lamp 200 have the aluminum reflecting surfaces 11a formed in the lamp body 11, so that the appearance of the lens 14 in these sections is different from that of the headlamp. 100 lens 4 It is the same as the appearance of the lens 4. For this reason, when these headlamp 100 and turn signal lamp 200 are viewed at a distance, they look like one integrated lamp.

It should be noted that the central portions of both lamps also appear to be substantially the same in appearance. However, since the central portion of the turn signal lamp 200 is configured as the amber reflecting surface 11b, the appearance may be slightly different, but this is the same as that in which a part of the inner surface of one lamp is configured in a different color. , This difference in color does not hinder the visibility of both lamps. Here, the rib 17 of the turn signal lamp 200 may not be provided in particular.

[0011]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the inner surface and the lens of the lamp body of the second lamp are configured as the reflecting surface and the step pattern corresponding to the step pattern of the lens of the first lamp, respectively. When the first and second lamps are arranged adjacent to each other, both lamps can be seen as one in appearance, which is advantageous in designing the automobile.
