Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a high mount stop lamp arranged in a vehicle compartment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent automobiles, a high mount stop lamp is mounted at a position higher than the stop lamp toward the rear of the vehicle so that it is turned on at the same time as the stop lamp usually mounted on the outside of the vehicle body. Many are used that make it easy to check braking and contribute to ensuring driving safety.

Of these high mount stop lamps,
Fig. 4 shows the mounting structure for the back window of the passenger compartment.
As shown in the conventional example, the high mount stop lamp 2
The mounting portion 23a is formed downward on the lower surface of the bracket 3, while the bracket 2 mounted on the inner panel 24 at the rear of the vehicle body
5 extends substantially horizontally below the high mount stop lamp 23, and a support portion 25a is erected on the upper surface of the bracket 25 at a position facing the attachment portion 23a. The attachment portion 23a is bolted to the support portion 25a. Since they are connected by nuts, the distance between the bracket 25 and the high mount stop lamp 23 attached to the bracket 25 is set to be large. Further, a cover 26 for covering the connector 25 wired to the bracket 25 and the high-mount stop lamp 23 to improve the appearance is attached by a clip 27 or the like along the side surface of the bracket 25 on the vehicle compartment 21 side. Such an example is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-60043.

[0004]

However, in such a conventional example, the high mount stop lamp 2 is used.
Since the mounting portion 23a of No. 3 is formed downward, the interval between the mounting portion 23a and the bracket 25 becomes large, and the position of the high mount stop lamp 23 from the upper end of the package tray 28 becomes high. Further, since the cover 26 is attached, the position of the high mount stop lamp 23 is further increased by the distance between the cover 26 and the bracket 25, which causes a problem that the driver's rear visibility is deteriorated. Further, since the clearance between the lower end of the back window 22 and the package tray 28 becomes large due to the attachment of the cover 26, the package tray 28 is normally shared in the case of a vehicle in which the high mount stop lamp 23 is not set. There is a problem that the gap looks bad.
The present invention is intended to solve such conventional problems.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a mounting structure for a high mount stop lamp, which is disposed rearward in a vehicle compartment, wherein the mounting bracket for the high mount stop lamp is mainly erected with a horizontal portion. Is composed of
The horizontal portion is connected to a high mount stop lamp, the standing portion is connected to an inner panel at the rear of the vehicle compartment, and the periphery of the bracket is curved to form a covering portion.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 3, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a bracket for mounting a high mount stop lamp according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a high mount stop lamp according to the present invention. It is a rear perspective view of the equipped vehicle. The high mount stop lamp 3 is coupled to a bracket 7 attached to an inner panel 4 at the rear of the vehicle body and mounted inside the vehicle interior 13 of the back window 2 of the vehicle 1 toward the rear of the vehicle 1. The inner panel 4
A mounting portion 4a for mounting the bracket 7 is formed on the lower portion of the back portion, and the mounting portion 4a is extended upward from the lower portion so that the upper end portion of the mounting portion 4a closely contacts the back panel 5 of the vehicle body to form the lower end portion 2a of the back window 2. ing. A back window glass 2b is joined to the lower end portion 2a by a seal member 6.

The mounting bracket 7 of the high mount stop lamp 3 is mainly composed of an upright portion 7a and a horizontal portion 7b. The upright portion 7a has a fastening seat surface for fastening the bracket 7 to the mounting portion 4a of the inner panel 4. 8 is formed in a trapezoidal shape in the mounting direction, and an insertion hole 8a for a mounting bolt is provided in this, while the horizontal portion 7b is bent at a substantially central portion of the bracket 7 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the standing portion 7a. A plurality of mounting seats 9 in the shape of a turret for connecting the high mount stop lamp 3 are formed therein, and these are provided with insertion holes 9a for mounting screws 11. Further, the bracket 7 has a rising portion 7a.
Further, the covering portion 10 which is curved in the mounting direction is formed on the entire circumference of the bracket 7 including the horizontal portion 7b.

When the bracket 7 thus formed is fastened to the mounting portion 4a of the inner panel 4 by the fastening seat surface 8, the space between the seal member 6 at the lower end of the back window 2 and the upper end of the package tray 12 is set. It is arranged without interfering with both. Further, when the lower surface of the high mount stop lamp 3 is directly brought into contact with the mounting seat 9 provided on the horizontal portion 7b and coupled with the mounting screw 11, the gap between the bracket 7 and the high mount stop lamp 3 is set small. It

With the above-mentioned structure, the mounting position of the high mount stop lamp 3 can be lowered and the rear view can be widened as compared with the conventional one. Also,
Since the gap between the seal member 6 at the lower end of the back window 2 and the package tray 12 can be made small, there is an advantage that the appearance of this gap is not impaired even in the case of a vehicle in which the high mount stop lamp 3 is not set.

[0010]

According to the present invention, a mounting seat for coupling the high mount stop lamp is formed in the horizontal portion of the bracket, and the lower surface of the high mount stop lamp is directly contacted with the mounting seat. Since they are connected, the distance between the bracket and the high mount stop lamp can be reduced, and since the surrounding portion of the bracket is curved to form the covering portion, the conventional cover becomes unnecessary, and the mounting cost of this cover is eliminated. The distance can be further reduced by a minute, and the mounting position of the high mount stop lamp can be lowered by that much, so that a wider rear field of view can be obtained compared to the conventional one, which is useful for ensuring safety. In addition, since the cover is not necessary, the cost can be reduced, the number of mounting parts is small, the number of mounting steps can be reduced, and the construction accuracy can be improved. In addition, the size from the inner panel mounting part of the bracket to the mounting seat of the high mount stop lamp can be reduced, so the rigidity of the bracket is improved, the bracket can be downsized, and the vibration of the high mount stop lamp can be suppressed to a small level. In addition, the cost reduction effect can be obtained. Furthermore, since the gap between the seal member at the lower end of the back window and the upper end of the package tray can be made small, there is an advantage that the appearance of this gap is not deteriorated even in the case of a vehicle in which the high mount stop lamp is not set.
