Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a vehicle stop lamp device, and more particularly to a vehicle stop lamp suitable for a vehicle equipped with a spare tire in the center of the rear surface of the vehicle.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, stop lamps are provided on both left and right sides of a vehicle to automatically light up and warn a following vehicle when the vehicle is being braked, that is, when a brake pedal is depressed. In recent years, in order to make the warning effect on the following vehicle during braking even more noticeable, a high mount stop lamp, which is separate from the stop lamp, has been introduced.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the prior art high mount stop lamp device described above, the bracket supporting the stop lamp is also used for holding the spare tire. Therefore, it was necessary to reinforce the strength of both the lamp fixture itself and the rear panel of the vehicle body. This bracket used pipe material, etc. to make its appearance beautiful, while maintaining its strength. However, the conventional example using the pipe material has a disadvantage that productivity is poor and mounting work is troublesome, and thus the cost is high.

[0004]

[The purpose of the device]

 It is an object of the present invention to provide a stop lamp device for a vehicle, which can improve the inconvenience of the conventional example and can improve the productivity with a particularly simple structure.

[0005]

[Means for achieving the object]

 To achieve the above object, a vehicle stop lamp device according to the present invention is provided with a plate-shaped member extending in a radial direction of a spare tire fixed to a rear panel of a vehicle rear surface portion. A hinge portion is provided at one end of this plate member. The plate member is set to be openable and closable around the hinge portion as a fulcrum, and the other end portion is provided with engaging means for engaging with the rear panel. Furthermore, a structure is adopted in which a stop lamp is installed at a predetermined position of the plate member. In this way, the above-mentioned purpose is achieved.

[0006]

[Action]

 A plate-shaped member is arranged in the radial direction of the spare tire. The plate-like member is opened and closed with the hinge portion at one end as a fulcrum. Further, this plate-like member is engaged with the rear panel by the engaging means provided at the other end, and is opened as required. The engaging means is composed of, for example, a bolt or a hook. Since this plate member is equipped with a stop lamp, this assembly work can be performed easily and easily.

[0007]

[Example of device]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 3, the plate member 1 is arranged so as to extend in the radial direction of the spare tire 2 fixed to the rear panel 4 on the rear surface of the vehicle 50. A hinge portion 5 is provided at one end of the plate member 1. The plate member 1 is set to be openable and closable with the hinge portion 5 as a fulcrum, and an engaging step 6 for engaging with the rear panel 4 is provided at the other end. A stop lamp 3 is provided at a predetermined position on the plate member 1.

This will be described in more detail. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a vehicle 50 equipped with an embodiment of the present invention. The plate-shaped member 1 is arranged so as to extend in the radial direction of the spare tire 2 fixed to the rear panel 4 of the rear surface of the vehicle 50. The plate-shaped member 1 is formed so as to project outward in a U-shape, and has projecting portions at both ends thereof. 2 to 3, a stop lamp 3 is provided at a position slightly left of the center of the U-shaped protrusion of the plate member 1.

FIG. 2 is a top view of an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, a carrier 9 is arranged and fixed to the rear panel 4. The carrier 9 is composed of a columnar column supporting the spare tire 2 on the rear panel 4 and load relaxation members provided at both ends of the column. The column has a predetermined height for mounting the spare tire 2. Further, the load alleviating member alleviates the load on the spare tire 2. Further, the support column and the load relaxation member are integrally formed to hold the spare tire 2 and have a certain strength or more. One of the load relaxation members is fixed to the rear panel 4. The other is engaged with the wheel of the spare tire 2 and holds the spare tire 2 by means of mounting bolts and nuts.

In FIG. 2, the plate-shaped member 1 is arranged so as to straddle the spare tire 2 engaged with the carrier 9. At the right end of the plate-shaped member 1, there is provided a hinge portion 5 that supports the plate-shaped member 1 in an open / closed state. The hinge portion 5 is arranged between the right end portion of the plate member 1 and the rear panel 4. The plate-shaped member 1 is supported and opened / closed by using the hinge portion 5 as a fulcrum. In addition, an engaging means 6 that engages with the rear panel 4 is provided on the left protruding portion of the plate-shaped member 1. The engaging means 6 is provided substantially at the center of the left protruding portion of the plate member 1. The engaging means 6 is provided with screws on both the plate-like member 1 and the rear panel 4 so that bolts can be inserted from the outside. Therefore, the plate-shaped member 1 is easily engaged with the vehicle 50 by inserting the bolt as the engaging means 6.

In addition, in FIGS. 2 to 3, the plate-shaped member 1 can be easily opened by removing the bolt serving as the engaging means 6 and using the hinge portion 5 as a fulcrum. Therefore, replacement of the stop lamp 3, removal of the spare tire 2, and other maintenance and inspection work can be easily performed.

In FIG. 2, the stop lamp 3 is detachably inserted from the back surface at a position slightly left of the center of the plate-like member 1 and is fixed by screws from the front surface. The stop lamp 3 has an opening so that light is emitted to the outside. The opening of the stop lamp 3 is equipped with a red translucent member to give a warning warning to the following vehicle by emitting red light during braking.

In FIG. 2, a lead wire 7 terminal connected to a power source (not shown) is connected to the back surface of the stop lamp 3. The lead wire 7 passes through the rear surface of the plate-shaped member 1, penetrates the rear panel 4, and is connected to a power source (not shown). Lead wire protectors 8 for protecting the lead wires 7 are provided on both sides of the rear panel 4 through which the lead wires 7 pass. The lead wire protector 8 is provided in a U shape so as to surround the end portion of the rear panel 4.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the plate member 1 is provided as a member for mounting the stop lamp 3, and the mounting mechanism for the stop lamp 3 and the holding mechanism for the spare tire 2 are separated from each other. Is taking.

Although the material of the plate-shaped member 1 is not specified in this embodiment, it is not particularly limited as long as it has the same function. Further, the shape of the plate-shaped member 1 may be concave or convex even if it is not a flat plate, so that the strength can be improved.

2 to 3, in the present embodiment, the stop lamp 3 is mounted at a position slightly left of the center of the plate member 1, but the lamp housing portion and the lead on the back surface of the stop lamp 3 are provided. There is no particular limitation as long as the wire 7 terminal does not come into contact with the spare tire 2.

Further, in the present embodiment, the bolt is used as the engaging means 6 of the plate-shaped member 1, but a hook or the like may be used as long as it has a similar function.

[0018]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, since a plate member is used for the stop lamp mounting member, it is possible to provide a stop lamp device for a vehicle which is easy to mount and can improve productivity with a simple structure. It also has the effect that the stop lamp replacement, spare tire, and other maintenance and inspection work can be easily performed.
