【Example】

 Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the vehicle door lamp device of the present invention is applied to a vehicle front door will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an armrest 12 (protruding portion) in the shape of a hollow hollow prism is attached and fixed to a door trim 11 attached to the interior side of a front door. The armrest 12 is formed with a notch mounting hole 13 extending from the rear end of the lower surface to the lower end of the rear surface, and the entire peripheral portion of the mounting hole 13 has a step that is slightly recessed inward. The stepped portion 12a is formed. A metal reflection plate 14 having a size that closes the attachment hole 13 is attached to the step portion 12a. A smoothly recessed concave portion 14a is formed in the central portion of the reflector 14 and is fixed to the step portion 12a with a screw at the peripheral edge of the reflector 14. Further, the reflecting plate 14 is provided with an engaging piece 14b in which the tips of the upper and lower peripheral edges are raised obliquely. Further, a lamp 15 is attached obliquely downward to the center of the concave portion 14a of the reflection plate 14. The lamp 15 is connected to the battery via a switch (not shown) provided between the door and the vehicle body, and the switch enters when the door is opened and cuts when the door is closed. It has a structure of.

On the other hand, a lens 16 is attached to the reflection plate 14 so as to cover the periphery thereof. The lens 16 has a substantially L-shaped cross section that closes the mounting hole 13 so as to be substantially flush with the armrest 12, and a rear lens 16a made of a red lens that vertically covers the rear surface of the mounting hole 13 and a lower surface horizontally. The two lenses, the lower lens 16b, which is a colorless lens for covering, and the lower lens 16b are gently connected at the bent portion to be integrated. Further, on each of the upper and lower peripheral portions of the lens 16, a locking piece 16c is vertically bent in the direction of the engaging piece 14b. It is a thick portion 16d that projects to the outside.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. When the front door is opened, the switch turns on and the lamp 15 lights up. Then, the light from the lamp 15 passes through the lens 16 and illuminates below and behind the door. Here, since the rear lens 16a is red, it illuminates the rear with a red light to alert the car coming from the rear, and the lower lens 16b is transparent, so the place to get off is illuminated with a white light to make it bright. To do. On the other hand, when the door is closed, the switch turns off and the lamp goes out.

According to the vehicle door lamp device of the present embodiment, the lamp 15 illuminates the lower side and the rear side of the front door through the lower surface lens 16b and the rear surface lens 16a. Therefore, it is convenient because you can tell the car behind you that the door has been opened, and when you get off, your feet will be bright and you can check the situation. Also, since the rear lens 16a is a red lens and the lower lens 16b is a colorless lens to separate the colors of the rear and lower lights, it is easier to call a red light to the car behind, The feet are brightly illuminated by white light, which is more convenient. Further, the vehicle door lamp device of the present embodiment is attached to the armrest 12 that is provided so as to project into the vehicle interior. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately provide a projecting portion projecting to the vehicle interior side, which is excellent in design.

The vehicle door lamp device of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but the following modifications are possible. (1) In the vehicle door lamp device of this embodiment, the lens 16 is attached from the lower surface of the armrest 12 to the rear surface thereof. However, the vehicle door lamp device of the present invention is not limited to this, and the lens may be mounted from the lower surface of the armrest to the side surface inside the vehicle interior, or from the lower surface of the armrest to the lower position of the armrest on the door trim surface. May be.

(2) The vehicle door lamp device of the present embodiment is attached to the armrest 12 with the armrest 12 as a protrusion. However, the vehicle door ramp device of the present invention is not limited to this, and a protrusion that protrudes from the door trim surface toward the vehicle interior may be provided and attached to the protrusion.

(3) In the vehicle door lamp device of this embodiment, the rear lens 16a is a red lens and the lower lens 16b is a colorless lens. However, the vehicle door lamp device of the present invention is not limited to this, and both the rear lens and the lower lens may be colorless lenses.
