Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Structure of the Invention] <Industrial Field of Application> The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a rear combination lamp for a vehicle, which is provided on the rear side of a vehicle, particularly from the rear surface to the side surface.

<Prior Art> Conventionally, in order to install a combination lamp at the rear end of a vehicle, a plurality of stud bolts erected on the combination lamp are inserted into mounting holes opened at the rear of the vehicle, and the stud bolts are inserted into the mounting holes opened at the rear of the vehicle. The nut is fastened from inside the vehicle body.
However, the workability of mounting by tightening bolts and nuts is difficult. Also, in the above type of rear combination light, the bulbs are replaced from inside the vehicle body.
For this purpose, it is necessary to provide a relatively large opening in the vehicle body, which not only tends to impair the sealing performance of that part, but also poses problems in its workability.

Therefore, the above-mentioned problem can be solved to some extent by using clips made of multiple synthetic resins to elastically engage the rear combination lamp with the vehicle body (Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-3923, Kimiaki
(See Public Relations No. 60-32405). However, the problem of sealability and workability when maintenance is performed from inside the vehicle body after the lamp is installed is not solved.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> In view of the problems of the prior art, the main purpose of the invention is to provide a mounting structure for a rear combination lamp for a vehicle that improves workability during installation and maintenance. There is a particular thing.

[Structure of the invention] <Means for solving the problem> According to the present invention, the object is to provide a mounting structure for a rear combination lamp for a vehicle provided on the rear side of a vehicle body, the rear combination lamp hinge means for rotatably supporting the lamp relative to the vehicle body around one end thereof to an angle at which at least the bulb of the lamp can be replaced; and at least between the other end portion of the rear combination lamp and the vehicle body. By providing a mounting structure for a rear combination lamp for a vehicle, characterized in that the rear combination lamp is selectively opened and closed with respect to the vehicle body. achieved.

<Operation> With this arrangement, the rear combination lamp can be easily attached to the vehicle body, and at the time of maintenance after installation, the lamp can be rotated and opened by releasing the spring engagement means.

<Embodiments> Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A bumper 2 is provided at the bottom of the rear end of the vehicle body 1, and a receiving portion 3 for receiving a rear combination lamp 4 is recessed in the upper part of the bumper 2 and extending from the back surface to a part of the side surface of the vehicle body 1. has been done. The rear combination lamp 4 is bent into an L-shape from the middle portion. A plate 5 is provided on the upper end surface of the portion of the rear combination lamp 4 that covers the rear surface of the vehicle body 1, with a portion of the plate 5 facing the rear surface 4a of the lamp. This back side 4
Openings 6 and 34 are provided in the portion facing a.

Further, a pivot shaft 30 is provided near the end of the portion of the rear combination lamp 4 that covers the side surface of the vehicle body 1. Furthermore, a pair of bars 31 each having an enlarged head 32 are arranged in parallel at the lower part of the rear surface 4a of the rear combination lamp 4 that covers the rear side of the vehicle body 1. Further, the plate 5 is provided with an opening 6 similar to the first embodiment and an opening 34 located adjacent to the opening.

On the other hand, an L-shaped bracket 26 is provided on the upper part of the sideward facing wall surface 3c located on the rear surface of the vehicle body 1 in the receiving portion 3, and the bracket includes the following:
A resin clip 25 is engaged and held. The above-mentioned opening 6 of the plate 5 is located on the upper surface of the clip 25.
A screw hole 25a is opened at a position corresponding to . In addition, approximately L
A bracket 35 having a letter shape is provided. This bracket 35 holds a resin clip 36 equipped with a bearing 37 that can resiliently engage and hold the above-mentioned pivot shaft 30. Further, an L-shaped bracket 39 is provided at a portion of the wall surface 3a corresponding to the bar 31, and the bracket includes a bar 3
A pair of resin clips 41 are provided that can elastically engage with the enlarged head 32 of the clip. Furthermore, above these clips 41, a clip 43 having a structure similar to that of clip 25 is held by an L-shaped bracket 42. Screw hole 43 of this clip 43
a coincides with the opening 34 described above.

The procedure for attaching the rear combination lamp 4 to the receiving part 3 will be explained below. First, axis 30
is pushed into the bearing 37 of the clip 36 and engaged resiliently. Then, the entire rear combination lamp 4 is rotated about the pivot 30, and the enlarged heads 32 of the pair of bars 31 are connected to the corresponding clips 4.
1 resiliently engaged. And openings 6, 34
The screw members 27, 44 are inserted into the screw holes 25a, 4 through
3a, the rear combination lamp 4 is securely held on the vehicle body 1.

For example, in order to replace the bulb of this rear combination lamp 4, clips 25, 43 are required.
The screw members 27 and 44 are removed from the bar 31, and the entire combination lamp 4 is rotated about the pivot 30 to release the engagement between the enlarged head 32 of the bar 31 and the clip 41. Then, rotate the lamp 4 further to open it to an angle where the bulb can be replaced,
After replacing the bulb in this state, the combination lamp 4 is rotated again to close it, the enlarged head 32 is resiliently engaged with the clip 41, and the screw members 27, 4 are
4 is screwed into the clips 25, 43 through the openings 6, 34. In this embodiment, the plate has an oblique cutout 5a to prevent the edge of the plate 5 from hitting the vehicle body 1 when the rear combination lamp 4 rotates.

According to this embodiment, there is no need to remove the entire rear combination lamp each time a bulb is replaced or the like.
