Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a lighting case mounting structure for front lighting instruments used in automobiles and the like.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a lighting case mounting structure of this type of front lighting instrument is known as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 61-97718.

In this conventional structure, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a lighting lamp 2 is housed inside a lighting case 1, and the lighting case 1 is attached to an instrument case 4 using mounting means 3, in this case screws 3a, etc., and letters are written inside the instrument case 4. A display board 5 having numbers, scales, etc. is configured so that it can be illuminated from the front with an illumination light 2.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the case of the above conventional structure, the mounting means 3
Since the lighting case 1 is attached to the instrument case 4 by crimping the screw 3a, the push-in pin 3b, and the split groove 3c, the contact between the lighting case 1 and the instrument case 4 tends to be incomplete, and the joint surface This has the disadvantage that external light may leak from between the two.

[Means for solving problems]

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate these inconveniences, and its gist is that a lighting lamp is installed inside the lighting case, the external lighting case is attached to the instrument case by means of a mounting means, and the characters inside the instrument case, numbers,
In a front-illuminated instrument in which a display plate having a scale etc. can be illuminated from the front by the illumination lamp, a front connection part is formed in the illumination case, a rear connection part is formed in the instrument case, and the illumination case is closed. A lighting case mounting structure for a front lighting instrument, characterized in that the front connection part and the rear connection part press against each other and the lighting case is pressed against the instrument case when mounted on the instrument case. .

[Effect]

When the lighting case is attached to the instrument case, the front connection part and the rear connection part press against each other.

〔Example〕

1 to 4 show embodiments of the present invention; FIGS. 1 and 2 are the first embodiment, FIG. 3 is the second embodiment, and FIG. 4 is the third embodiment.

Incidentally, the same reference numerals are attached to the same parts as the conventional structure shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 for explanation.

In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, 4 is an instrument case, and the instrument case 4 is a front case 4.
a, a rear case 4b, and a front transparent plate 4c.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a front connecting portion, and in this case, two front connecting portions 6 are formed so as to protrude rearward from the lighting case 1 in the shape of tongues.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a rear connecting portion. In this case, two rear connecting portions 7 are formed in the shape of the upper surface of the front case 4a which is a component of the instrument case 4, and the tongue-shaped front connecting portion 6
When the illumination case 1 is attached to the instrument case 4 by the attachment means 3, the upper surface of the tongue-shaped front connection section 6 and the inner lower surface of the rear connection section 7 are formed so as to come into pressure contact with each other.

Since this first embodiment has the above configuration, when the lighting case 1 is attached to the instrument case 4, the front connection part 6
The lighting case 1 is pressed against the instrument case 4 as the rear connection portion 7 presses against each other, thereby improving the close contact between the lighting case 1 and the instrument case 4, suppressing external light leakage, and reducing external vibration, etc. The mounting strength of the lighting case 1 to the lamp can be improved.

The second embodiment shown in FIG. 3 shows another example of the rear connection part 7, in which the rear connection part 7 having the same shape as the first embodiment is formed on the upper surface of the rear case 4b which is a component of the instrument case 4. are doing.

This second embodiment also obtains the same effects as the first embodiment.

The third embodiment in FIG. 4 also shows another example of the rear connection part 7, and in this case, the rear connection part 7 having the same shape as the first embodiment is provided at the rear end of the front case 4a which is a component of the instrument case 4. and attach the rear case 4b to this rear connection part 7.
Insert the connecting hook 8 formed in It is configured to push up the connecting portion 7.

This third embodiment also provides the same effects as the first embodiment, and can also prevent the connecting hook 8 from coming off unexpectedly.

Incidentally, the same effect can be obtained even if the relationship between the front connection part 6 and the rear connection part 7 of the above embodiment is reversed.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, in the present invention, when the lighting case is attached to the instrument case, the front connection part and the rear connection part press against each other, and the lighting case is pressed against the instrument case, improving the close contact between the lighting case and the instrument case. External leakage light can be controlled and the mounting strength of the lighting case against external vibrations etc. can be improved.

As described above, the intended purpose can be fully achieved.
