Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Use) The present invention relates to an improvement in a mounting structure for mounting a turn lamp to a front bumper of an automobile, for example.

(Prior Art) Bumpers are attached to front and rear ends of a vehicle, for example, a vehicle, to protect the vehicle body. The front side of the bumper, in particular, is composed of a bumper face made of, for example, a synthetic resin material, and a back beam formed by bending a metal plate forming a skeleton of the bumper face. Lamps such as a turn lamp or a small lamp are attached to both side edges and both sides of the front surface of the bumper face.
The mounting structure will be specifically described as shown in FIG. In the figure, a is a bumper face,
A concave portion b is integrally provided on a part of this surface. Recess b
Is provided with an opening c on the bottom surface thereof, and a plurality of bosses d ... e is, for example, a turn lamp, and includes a lamp body f and a lens g.

In actual mounting, the turn lamp e is divided into a lamp body f and a lens g, and the lamp body f is first mounted and fixed to the bosses d via screw screws h. Then, the lens g is fitted into the lamp body f and fixed to each other with the screw screws i ... Of leg length.

In this way, the turn lamp e is attached to the bumper face a, but the attachment is troublesome and troublesome. That is, at the time of mounting, the turn lamp e must be divided into a lamp body f and a lens g, and a large number of screw screws h ..., F. Further, the heads of the screw screws i ... Can be seen on this surface with the turn lamp e attached, which is unattractive. Furthermore, since a portion for screwing the lens g to the lamp body f is necessary,
The turn lamp e has a defect that it has a thick shape as a whole.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) The present invention eliminates both the troublesomeness and unsightly appearance of the above-described mounting work, enables one-touch mounting, and does not expose the screw head to lamp bumpers. It is intended to provide a mounting structure of.

[Constitution of device]

(Means for Solving the Problems) That is, the present invention relates to a structure for mounting a lamp or the like on a bumper, which is fitted and locked in a recess integrally formed on the surface of the bumper face, and is hooked on a side surface thereof. Hole, an opening portion for arranging the rear portion of the lamps on the bottom surface thereof, and a recess portion having a receiving hole portion for determining the mounting position of the lamps in the vicinity of the opening portion of the bottom surface, and the side of the lamps. A first leaf spring body, one end of which is fixedly attached to the end portion of the lamp, and the other end of which is elastically engaged with the edge of the retaining hole, and one end of which is fixed to the rear portion of the lamps and the other end of which is A lamp including a second leaf spring body elastically engaged with an end edge of the opening, and a positioning protrusion formed at a rear portion of the lamp and abutting against the receiving hole. It is a mounting structure to the bumper.

(Operation) According to such a configuration, the positioning projection formed on the rear portion of the lamps contacts the receiving hole portion to accurately determine the mounting position of the lamps in the recessed portion, and A plurality of leaf spring bodies, one end of which is fixed to the side portion and the rear portion, engage with each other at a predetermined position, so that the lamps mounted in the recess can be securely fixed.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings by applying it to a front bumper. 1 to 3 show a part of the bumper face 1.

The straight portion 1a and the bent portion 1a are formed in a substantially U-shape in a plan view, and are mounted over the front end surface of the vehicle body and part of both side surfaces. A back beam (not shown) for reinforcement is provided on the back surface side of the bumper face 1 to form a front bumper.

The bumper face 1 will be described further. For example, the bumper face 1 is made of a synthetic resin material, and the front side has the same color as the body panel forming the vehicle body, and a molding is mounted over substantially the center thereof. A horizontally elongated rectangular recess 2 is integrally provided on a part of the surface of the bent portion 1b. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a part of the bottom surface of the recessed portion 2 is open to form an attachment opening 3. A rectangular hooking hole 4 is provided on one side wall, and a receiving hole 5 is provided on the bottom surface near the attachment opening 3.

On the other hand, 6 shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 is a lamp such as a turn lamp. Although this is composed of the lamp body 6a and the lens 6b, it does not need to be divided and may be integrally formed as described later. Therefore, it becomes thin as a whole. However, a pair of bosses 7 and 8 and a positioning protrusion 9 must be integrally provided on the rear surface of the lamp body 6a. First end portions of the first leaf spring body 10 and the second leaf spring body 11 are screwed onto the end faces of the bosses 7 and 8, respectively. The free ends of the first and second leaf spring bodies 10 and 11 respectively project outward and are bent into appropriate shapes. The positioning protrusion 9 has a substantially quadrangular pyramid shape.

Then, in order to mount the turn lamp 6 on the bumper face 1, the first and second leaf spring bodies 10, 11 are attached to the bosses 7, 8.
It may be inserted into the concave portion 2 in a state in which the is screwed. The free end portion of the first leaf spring body 10 elastically engages with the engaging hole 4 that opens in the side wall of the recess 2. The boss 8 attached to the second leaf spring body 11 is inserted into the attachment opening portion 3,
And its free end elastically engages with the edge of the mounting opening 3. The tip of the positioning projection 9 is inserted into the receiving hole 5. Since the first and second leaf spring bodies 10 and 11 are elastic members, they are extremely elastically deformed by forcibly inserting the turn lamp 6, but only the tip of the positioning projection 9 is a receiving hole. 5 and regulate any further insertion. Therefore, the leaf spring bodies 10 and 11 can be elastically deformed in a normal state to mount and hold the turn lamp 6. Further, not only the leaf spring bodies 10 and 11 but also the heads of the mounting screws are not exposed on the surface side of the turn lamp 6.

As described above, in the above embodiment, the pyramidal positioning projection 9 is provided on the back side of the lamp body 6a, and the tip of the positioning projection 9 is inserted into the receiving hole 5 provided on the bottom surface of the recess 2. Therefore, the positions of the lamps 6 can be accurately set, and correct mounting and holding by the first and second leaf spring bodies 10 and 11 can be performed.

It should be noted that the above embodiment has been described by applying it to the front bumper, but the present invention is not limited to this and may be applied to a rear bumper to which lamps are mounted.

[Effect of device]

As described above, according to the present invention, the lamps can be attached to the bumper with one touch, and the lamp bulb can be removed with one touch when the lamp bulb is cut, so that the installation workability can be improved.

Further, even if the dimensional accuracy of the recessed portions of the lamps or the bumper varies, accurate mounting is possible, and the heads such as screws are not visible on the surface of the lamps, so that the appearance can be improved. Further, it is not necessary to divide the lamps into two parts for mounting, and therefore, there is an effect that it is possible to achieve the integrated thinning.
