Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a rear spoiler for an automobile.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a rear spoiler that is attached to a rear portion of a vehicle body to prevent the vehicle body from being lifted up when the vehicle is traveling at high speed is well known, and a rear spoiler equipped with an indicator light unit is, for example, actually used. Kaisho 63-1659
It is known from the publication No. 1 and the like.

As shown in FIG. 5, the rear spoiler has a notch 22 formed on the lower surface of the rear portion of the spoiler body 21.
The indicator light unit 23 is fitted into the display lamp unit 2 and is fastened and fixed from the lower surface side by a mounting screw 24 or the like.
It is formed in a shape corresponding to the original shape of the spoiler main body 21 in FIG.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in the rear spoiler configured as described above, the boundary line called the secant 26 between the spoiler body 21 and the indicator light unit 23 is within the field of view from the rear of the vehicle body. When the notch 22 of the spoiler main body 21 and the lens 25 of the indicator light unit 23 open at the mating surface, the dividing line 26 with a wide gap is visible as it is, and there is a problem that the appearance is deteriorated.

In view of the above problems, the present invention is a rear spoiler equipped with an indicator light unit, in which the dividing line between the spoiler body and the indicator light unit does not enter into the field of view from the rear of the vehicle body, and the spoiler body and the indicator light unit look together and look good. The purpose is to provide a good car rear spoiler.

(Means for Solving the Problem) A rear spoiler for an automobile of the present invention is a rear spoiler including a spoiler body installed at a rear part of a vehicle body and an indicator light unit mounted on the spoiler body in order to achieve the above object. , The lamp lens of the indicator lamp unit is extended to a position forward from the rear end of the upper and lower surfaces of the spoiler body by an appropriate distance and is connected to the upper and lower surfaces in a substantially flush state, and the outer surface of the lamp lens is It is characterized by being painted in the same color as the spoiler body except for the light part.

(Operation) According to the above configuration of the present invention, since the lamp lens is extended to the intermediate position between the upper and lower surfaces of the spoiler body in the front-rear direction, the secant between the spoiler body and the indicator lamp unit is the view from the rear of the vehicle body. Since it does not go inside and the lamp lens is painted in the same color as the spoiler main body except for the display translucent part, the spoiler main body and the indicator lamp unit can be seen as a unit and the appearance is improved.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

In FIG. 4, reference numeral 1 is a vehicle body of a cab-over type automobile, and its rear surface is composed of a lift opening / closing back door 2. The upper end of the back door 2 projects into the air current flowing along the upper surface of the roof of the vehicle body 1 and guides a part of the air current so as to flow along the rear surface of the vehicle body 1, that is, the back door 2. A spoiler 3 having a U-shape in plan view is mounted.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the spoiler 3 is provided with a spoiler main body 4 made of a blow molded synthetic resin hollow molded body, and the spoiler main body 4 has a longitudinal direction, that is, a central portion in the vehicle body width direction. A rear portion is cut out over the upper and lower surfaces to form a cutout portion 5, and a display light unit 6 including a brake display light, a direction indicator light, and the like is attached to the cutout portion 5.

At both ends of the spoiler body 4, joints 7 with the back door 2 are formed that are bent toward the back door 2 side and extend downward. The joint surface of the joint portion 7 facing the outer surface of the back door 2 is formed into a three-dimensional curved surface so as to match the curved surface of the outer surface of the back door 2. A sheet-like interposition body having elasticity for absorbing a subtle molding error and closely adhering to each other and dispersing a local load is interposed between the joint surface and the outer surface of the back door 2, and its state is maintained. Are adhered to each other with an adhesive and are fastened and fixed with mounting bolts.

The indicator light unit 6 is composed of a lamp 8 for display, a lamp casing 9 accommodating its accessory parts (not shown), and a lamp lens 10. The lamp lens 10 has a shape corresponding to the original outer surface shape of the spoiler body 4 in the cutout portion 5 and is formed so as to cover the rear surface and the upper and lower surfaces of the cutout portion 5. The body 4 is extended to a position at an appropriate distance from the rear end of the upper and lower surfaces thereof. Therefore, the lamp lens 10 and the dividing line 11 of the spoiler body 4 are located in the middle of the upper and lower surfaces of the spoiler body 4 so as not to enter the visual field when viewed from the rear of the vehicle body 1. A predetermined area A of the lamp lens 10 facing the rear of the vehicle body is formed in the display translucent portion 12 which collects the light from the lamp 8 and projects the light rearward, and the other upper and lower areas B and C are formed. It is painted in the same color as the spoiler body 4.

A receiving groove 14 accommodating a sealing material 13 is formed at a front edge portion of the lamp casing 9, and a tongue piece 15 is extended from the lamp lens 10 so as to be fitted into the receiving groove 14 to thereby receive the lamp casing 9. The interior space surrounded by the lamp lens 10 is sealed. Further, the lamp casing 9 and the lamp lens 10 are integrated with each other by the adhesive 16 which also serves as a seal and is interposed between the outer surface of the receiving groove 14 and the inner surface of the end portion of the lamp lens 10.

In the indicator lamp unit 6 thus integrated, as shown in FIG. 2, the mounting tongue piece 17 projecting from the upper edge of the lamp lens 10 is fitted into the mounting recess 18 formed corresponding to the spoiler body 4. It is attached to the spoiler body 4 by fitting it and fastening it with screws or the like. In addition, a part of the lamp casing 9 has a wall surface 5a facing rearward of the cutout portion 5.
It penetrates through the opening 19 formed in and is projected into the hollow space of the spoiler body 4.

In the above configuration, since the lamp lens 10 of the indicator lamp unit 6 extends to the intermediate position between the upper and lower surfaces of the spoiler body 4 in the front-rear direction, the secant 11 between the spoiler body 4 and the indicator lamp unit 6 is the vehicle body 1 Since the lamp lens 10 is painted in the same color as the spoiler body 4 except for the display light-transmitting portion 12, the spoiler body 4 and the indicator light unit 6 can be seen as one body. Therefore, the appearance of the split line 11 does not look bad from the rear and the appearance is improved.

(Effect of the Invention) According to the rear spoiler for an automobile of the present invention, since the lamp lens is extended to the intermediate position between the upper and lower surfaces of the spoiler body in the front-rear direction, the secant between the spoiler body and the indicator lamp unit is the rear of the vehicle body. Since the lamp lens is painted in the same color as the spoiler main body except the display translucent part, it is possible to see the spoiler main body and the indicator light unit as a unit and it looks great. Be effective.
