Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a structure for mounting a high-mount stop lamp in a vehicle having a lift gate or back door.

(Prior Art) For example, as described in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 60-175740, there is a known technique for arranging a stop lamp on the inside of the lift gate in a vehicle having a lift gate (back door). There is. Such a stop lamp is generally referred to as a high mount stop lamp.

As a mounting structure for the above-mentioned high mount stop lamp, for example, a structure as shown in FIG. 8, which is cut along a vertical plane extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, is used. In the figure, the liftgate 2 includes a liftgate outer panel 2a and a liftgate inner panel 2.
b and a rear glass 2c. A stop lamp mounting bracket 4 in the form of a flat plate is fixed to the inner panel 2b, and a high mount stop lamp 6 is attached to this mounting bracket 4.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the above mounting structure, the stop lamp 6 is mounted to the tip of the flat mounting bracket 4 with a bolt/nut 8, and the base end of the mounting bracket 4 is It is fixed to the inner panel 2b. That is, the stop lamp 6 is attached to the tip of a flat cantilever (mounting bracket 4), and there is a problem in that the mounting rigidity of the stop lamp is not necessarily sufficient.

In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a high mount stop lamp mounting structure for a vehicle that has sufficient mounting rigidity.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the high-mount stop lamp mounting structure for a vehicle according to the present invention is a mounting structure for a high-mount stop lamp disposed on the interior side of the lift gate. forming an extension part extending toward the inside of the vehicle interior on the inner panel or outer panel of the lift gate, joining a stop lamp mounting bracket to the extension part to form a closed cross section, and forming the closed cross section. The high mount stop lamp is attached to the stop lamp mounting bracket or the extension portion.

(Function) In the above mounting structure, the high mount stop lamp is attached to the lift gate through the closed section formed by the extension of the inner or outer panel of the lift gate and the stop lamp mounting bracket, so that the high mount stop lamp has sufficient mounting rigidity. It is possible to make significant improvements.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view from the rear of a vehicle equipped with an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line -- in FIG.

As shown, lift gate (back door) 10
A stop lamp 12 is arranged on the inside of the vehicle. The lift gate 10 is made up of an outer panel 14, an inner panel 16, a rear glass 18, etc., and is connected at its upper end to the rear end of the vehicle body roof 20 so as to be rotatable, that is, to be pivotable in the vertical direction to open and close. The rear glass 18 has a molding 22.
is attached, and a trim material 24 is provided on the lower surface of the inner panel 16.

Both panels 14 and 16 are joined at their tips by bolts and nuts 26 and welding, and the inner panel 16 is formed with an extension 16a that extends further forward from the tip. A stop lamp mounting bracket 28 is formed by this. Further, the outer panel 14 also has an extension portion 14 extending further forward from the tip joined to the inner panel 16.
A is formed, and the distal end portion of the extension portion 14a is joined to the distal end portion of the stop lamp mounting bracket 28 by welding, whereby the stop lamp mounting bracket 28 and the extension portion 14a of the outer panel are closed. A cross section 30 is formed.

A stop lamp 12 is attached to the front end of the mounting bracket 28 in front of the closed section 30 with a bolt and nut 32. The stop lamp 12 includes a lamp main part 40 consisting of a light bulb 34, a first cover 36 that holds the light bulb, a second cover 38 that is locked to the first cover and has a glass portion 38a, and the lamp main part 40. 40 from behind (from the front of the vehicle body). The lamp main part 40 is fixed to the mounting bracket 28 through the first support part 36a of the first cover 36 with the aforementioned bolt/nut 32, and is fixed to the mounting bracket 28 with the above-mentioned tapping screw 44 through the second support part 36b. A lamp trim 42 is attached. Further, the lamp trim 42 has a locking portion 42a, and the locking portion 42a is inserted and locked into a clip portion 28a formed on the mounting bracket 28.

In the above embodiment, both the outer panel 16 and the inner panel 14 are extended, and the inner panel extension part 16
a is formed as a mounting bracket 28, and the outer panel extension 14a is attached to the mounting bracket 28.
Although the closed section 30 is formed by joining the outer panel extension 14a to a mounting bracket, the closed section 30 may also be formed by joining the inner panel extension 16a to the outer panel extension 14a.

FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing the outer panel 14, inner panel 16, and trim material 24, which are the constituent members of the lift gate 10, and FIGS. 4 and 5 show the lamp trim 42 and lamp main part 40, respectively. FIG. Note that 28b in FIG. 3 is a hole for the bolt/nut 32, and 42b in FIG. 4 is a hole for the tapping screw 4.
This is a hole for 4.

Although the mounting bracket 28 may be formed by an extension of the outer panel 14 or inner panel 16 as described above, it may also be formed from a separate component.

FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of an embodiment in which the mounting bracket 28 is formed as a separate part. In the shown mounting structure, the base end of the mounting bracket 28, which is an independent part, is joined to the inner panel 16. , and the inner panel 16 is formed with an extension 16a whose tip is further extended forward, and the tip of the extension 16a is joined to the tip of the mounting bracket so that both 16a and 28 form a closed cross section 30.
is formed.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the inner panel 16 is extended and its extended portion 16a is joined to a mounting bracket 28 formed as a separate part to form a closed cross section 30. As shown in FIG. 3, the outer panel 14 may be extended and the extended portion 14a may be joined to a mounting bracket 28 formed as a separate part to form a closed section 30.

In the above-mentioned embodiments, the stop lamp 12 is attached to the mounting bracket 28, but the outer panel 14 or the inner panel 15, which is another member forming the closed cross section 30, is also attached to the mounting bracket 28.
Alternatively, it may be attached to the extension of 6.

(Effect of the invention) The mounting structure of the high mount stop lamp for a vehicle according to the invention is as described above, by joining the extension part formed by extending the lift gate outer panel or the inner panel to the mounting bracket, and then connecting the mounting bracket and the extension part. Since the stop lamp is attached to the lift gate through the closed cross section and the stop lamp is attached to the lift gate, the mounting rigidity of the stop lamp can be sufficiently improved.
