[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, since the above-mentioned conventional mounting structure for the finisher of the vehicular lamp includes the ball joint mechanism and the engagement mechanism, when the finisher is mounted to the vehicular lamp body, the center of the ball joint mechanism and the engagement mechanism are combined. The finisher may rotate with respect to the vehicle lamp body about the straight line that connects the vehicle and the vehicle body in the gap between the finisher and the vehicle lamp body or the gap between the finisher and the mounting body. There are problems such as variations among lighting fixtures.

An object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for a vehicle lamp finisher capable of ensuring a constant gap between the finisher and the vehicle lamp main body and a gap between the finisher and the mounting body. To provide.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is characterized in that a detent mechanism for preventing rotation about a straight line connecting the center of the ball joint mechanism and the engaging mechanism is provided on the side edge and the finisher of the vehicle lamp body. .

[0006]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, when the finisher is attached to the vehicle lamp body with the above configuration, the finisher rotates with respect to the vehicle lamp body about the straight line connecting the center of the ball joint mechanism and the engaging mechanism. Can be prevented by a rotation stop mechanism. As a result, the gap between the finisher and the vehicular lamp body and the gap between the finisher and the mounting body can be kept constant.

【Example】

 An embodiment of a mounting structure for a finisher of a vehicular lamp according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this example, the fog lamp mounted on the front side of the automobile is used. In the figure, 1 is a fog lamp as a vehicle lamp body. In this fog lamp 1, an adhesive leg portion 13 of a lens 11 is adhesively sealed to an adhesive concave portion 12 of a housing 10 with, for example, hot melt 14 and a lamp chamber 15 is defined by the housing 10 and the lens 11 and is provided in the lamp chamber. A light source bulb 16 is provided. The side portion of the housing 10 of the fog lamp 1 is attached to a vehicle body, a bumper or the like 17 as a mounting body by bolts and nuts 18 to equip the fog lamp 1 in front of the vehicle. In such a fog lamp 1, the fog lamp 1 is attached to the vehicle body 17 from the front of the fog lamp 1 with bolts and nuts 18, so that the side of the fog lamp 1 is attached, that is, the bolts and nuts 18 are tightened. A space (gap) for performing work is provided. For this reason, when the above-mentioned mounting state is left as it is, when viewed from the front, the mounting portions of the bolts, nuts and the like 18 to the vehicle body and the optical axis adjustment of the light source bulb 16 of the fog lamp 1 are viewed from the side. The optical axis adjusting mechanism (not shown) for adjusting the surface is visible, which is not desirable in appearance. Therefore, the finisher 2 which will be described later covers the mounting portions of the bolts and nuts 18 on the side of the fog lamp 1 to the vehicle body, the optical axis adjusting mechanism, and the like. The pivot 30 of the ball joint mechanism is attached to the upper end of the side edge of the housing 10 of the fog lamp 1, the engaging hole 40 of the engaging mechanism is also provided at the lower end, and the locking groove 50 of the detent mechanism is also provided in the center. It is provided on a straight line connecting the center O1 of the joint mechanisms 30 and 31 and the engagement center O2 of the engagement mechanisms 40 and 41.

In the figure, 2 is a finisher. The finisher 2 covers the mounting portions of the bolts and nuts 18 on the side of the fog lamp 1 to the vehicle body, the optical axis adjusting mechanism, and the like. The finisher 2 has a vertically elongated rectangular shape when viewed from the front. The ball recess 31 of the ball joint mechanism is provided at the upper end of the finisher 2, the engaging claw 41 of the engaging mechanism is also provided at the lower end, the locking plate 51 of the rotation stopping mechanism is provided at the center, and the ball joint mechanisms 30 and 31. Is provided on the straight line connecting the center O1 of the engagement mechanism 40 and the engagement center O2 of the engagement mechanisms 40 and 41.

The finisher 2 is set on the side edge of the fog lamp 1, the engaging claw 41 of the finisher 2 is engaged with the engaging hole 40 of the fog lamp 1, and the engaging plate 51 of the finisher 2 is engaged with the fog lamp 1. The ball recess 31 of the finisher 2 is fitted to the pivot 30 of the fog lamp 1, the finisher 2 is mounted on the fog lamp 1, and the finisher 2 pushes the button on the side portion of the fog lamp 1 while making the groove 50 neglected. The mounting portions of the bolts and nuts 18 to the vehicle body, the optical axis adjusting mechanism, etc. are covered.

The mounting structure for the finisher of the vehicular lamp according to the present invention in this embodiment has the above-described structure. Therefore, the engaging claw 41 of the finisher 2 is engaged with the engaging hole 40 of the fog lamp 1 and the finisher is attached. When the ball recess 31 of No. 2 is fitted into the pivot 30 of the fog lamp 1 and the finisher 2 is mounted on the fog lamp 1, the center O1 of the ball joint mechanism 30 and 31 and the engagement center of the engaging mechanism 40 and 41 are attached. The locking plate 51 of the finisher 2 on the straight line connecting O2 has the locking groove of the fog lamp 1 on the straight line connecting the center O1 of the ball joint mechanisms 30 and 31 and the engagement center O2 of the engaging mechanisms 40 and 41. Since it is locked at 50, the finisher 2 is attached to the fog lamp 1 with the straight line connecting the center O1 of the ball joint mechanisms 30 and 31 and the engagement center O2 of the engagement mechanisms 40 and 41 as an axis. It is possible to prevent the rotation. As a result, the gap between the finisher 2 and the fog lamp 1 and the gap between the finisher 2 and the mounting body 17 can be kept constant.

In the above embodiment, the fog lamp is used as an example, but the present invention can be applied to other vehicular lamps.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 As is apparent from the above, the mounting structure of the finisher of the vehicular lamp according to the present invention is configured so that the side edge and the finisher of the vehicular lamp main body rotate about the straight line connecting the center of the ball joint mechanism and the engaging mechanism. Since the anti-rotation mechanism is installed to prevent this, when the finisher is attached to the vehicle lamp body, the finisher uses the straight line connecting the center of the ball joint mechanism and the engagement mechanism as an axis. On the other hand, the rotation preventing mechanism can prevent the rotation. Therefore, the gap between the finisher and the vehicle lamp body and the gap between the finisher and the mounting body can be kept constant.
