BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicular lamp which is an interior lamp attached to a steering portion of an inside mirror of an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A vehicular lamp, particularly an interior lamp, is provided with a sunroof opening / closing switch, a spot lamp lighting switch, and a room lamp lighting switch. And harnesses are connected to these switches,
The harness is connected by a connector (intermediate connection connector). This connector is often free because it does not have a clamping function itself. However, it is necessary to fix the lamp as much as possible when it is attached to the vehicle body, when it is a bite or an indoor lamp, the installation space is severely restricted, and when it is difficult to interfere with other movable parts.

The connector 50 is fixed by fixing the harness 50 with a clip 51 as shown in FIG. 11 or by directly fixing the connector 52 with a clip 51 as shown in FIG.

[0004]

In the conventional example, the connector 52 cannot be vertically fixed and easily fixed.
In particular, there is a problem in that it cannot be fixed unless it is necessary to press and fix it with another component in terms of routing the harness.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and the connector can be easily fixed by making the connector vertical, and in particular, it is fixed and held by a separate component when the harness is routed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicular lamp that can be easily fixed by simply inserting a connector when it is not desired.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a connector accommodating portion by arranging a plurality of surrounding pieces in a plane circular shape, and a pin is provided in the connector accommodating portion. It is characterized in that the inside of the connector accommodating portion is divided into a plurality of connector inserting portions by the pins, and the space between the surrounding pieces serves as a harness lead-out portion.

[0007]

With this structure, the connector is vertically arranged and
The connector can be easily fixed by inserting it into the harness insertion portion in the nest housing portion. In particular, when it is not desired to press and fix it as a separate component on the harness routing, it can be fixed simply by inserting the connector. Also,
Since the connector is inserted and fixed vertically, it is effective for mounting restricted in the spreading direction. Also, depending on the position of the pin, it can be used as a one-pole or two-pole connector, and the fitting dimension does not need to be set with high accuracy, which makes it highly versatile.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a vehicular lamp according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of the inside of the vehicular lamp.

As a vehicle lighting device according to the present invention, an interior lighting device will be described as an example. This interior lighting device includes a flat housing 1, and a surface portion 2 of the housing 1 is provided with a room lamp portion 3, left and right spot lamp portions 5 and 6, and a falling cover portion 9. I am doing it. A valve mounting portion 11 having a substantially rectangular hole shape is formed in the center of the mounting recess 10 of the room lamp portion 3, and terminal mounting recesses 12 are formed on the left and right of the valve mounting portion 11. A reflection plate 13 is attached to the attachment portion 11, and a plurality of ventilation holes 13a are formed in the reflection plate 13. The rear wall portion of the valve mounting portion 11 has a reflection pseudo copy surface 14
The reflecting pseudo-copy object surface 14 follows the outer shape of the boat-shaped bulb ball 16. A terminal 15 is fixed to the terminal mounting recess 12, and a boat-shaped valve ball 16 is horizontally connected between the terminals 15. Then, the mounting recess 10
A lens 17 is attached to the.

The mounting parts 7 and 8 of the left and right spot lamp parts 5 and 6 are provided with mounting holes 18, respectively.
A spot lamp unit 19 is attached to the. Also,
A falling cover 37 is detachably attached to the falling cover mounting portion 9. Further, the inner surface of the housing 1 is located on the back side of the room lamp portion 3 and is connected to the connector mounting portion 38 and the harness.
A nest mounting portion 39 is provided.

The connector mounting portion 38 is provided with slits 20 on the left and right sides of a cylindrical body having a long horizontal axis and is surrounded by pieces 21 and 2.
2 is formed, and a slit 23 is formed in the center of one enclosing piece 21.
A total of three surrounding pieces 21a, 21b,
22 is provided, and a pin 25 is provided in the central portion of the connector accommodating portion 24 that is surrounded by these surrounding pieces 21a, 21b, 22. It is divided into. The slits 20 and 23 between the enclosing pieces 21a, 21b and 22 serve as the harness lead-out portion.

Further, the harness mounting portion 39 is formed integrally with the housing 1 so that the three locking pieces 26, 27 and 28 are located at the respective vertices of the triangle, and the left and right locking pieces 2 are provided.
Bend the tips of 6, 27 inwardly and at a right angle to catch the hook 26.
a and 27a are formed, and a hook portion 28a protruding inward is formed at the tip of the other locking piece 28. 4
Reference numerals 0 and 41 are sunroof opening / closing switches, 42 and 43 are spot lamp lighting switches, and 44 is a room lamp lighting switch.

These switches 40, 41, 42, 4
A harness 45 is connected to 3 and 44, and the harness 45 is connected by a connector (intermediate connection connector) 46. The connector 46 includes a one-pole type and a multi-pole type having two or more poles.

The connector 46 is vertically inserted into the harness receiving portion of the harness mounting portion 39 with the pin 25 interposed therebetween. Utilizing the fact that the one-pole connector 46 and the two-pole connector 46 'have substantially the same width dimension in one direction, as shown in FIG. 9 or FIG. It is possible to insert it into the nest storage portion 24. In this way, the connectors 46, 46
When the ´ is inserted, the harness 45 is 2 from the slit.
It is derived from 0,23.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, a plurality of enclosing pieces are arranged in a circular plane to form a connector accommodating portion.
Since a pin is provided in the connector accommodating portion and the inside of the connector accommodating portion is divided into a plurality of connector insertion portions by the pins to form the harness lead-out portion between the surrounding pieces, the connector is vertically arranged in the harness accommodating portion. Insert into the harness insertion part,
The connector can be easily fixed. Especially,
If you do not want to press and fix with another part on the nesting route,
It can be fixed simply by inserting the connector. Also, since the connector is inserted vertically and fixed,
