Fig.] D. Mounting [Figs. 5 and 6] G. Effect of the invention (A. Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a novel vehicle lamp mounting structure. Specifically, in a relatively long vehicle lamp mounting structure for a supporting member, a locking means is provided in addition to the final screw coupling means, so that before the final coupling of the two by the screw coupling means. In addition, it is possible to hold the vehicular lamp on the supporting member, improve the workability of the final screw coupling, and improve the workability of mounting the vehicular lamp comprehensively. It is intended to provide a vehicle lamp.

(B. Outline of the Invention) The mounting structure of the vehicle lighting device of the present invention has a locking pin protruding upward on the support member, and a locked piece having a locking hole penetrating in the vehicle lighting direction in the vertical direction. Plural pieces are formed along the longitudinal direction, and the fitting piece of the lamp and the mounting seat of the supporting member are screwed to each other with the locking pin of the support member and the locking hole of the locked piece of the lamp locked. Therefore, the long vehicle lamp should be held on the lower surface of the support member at the planned mounting position without using hands or jigs before the final screw connection. Since it is possible to perform the connection by the screw in that state, the both can be easily connected, and the workability of mounting the vehicular lamp can be comprehensively improved.

(C. Prior Art) [FIGS. 8 and 9] Various mounting structures have been conventionally used for a supporting member of a vehicular lamp, that is, a member for mounting a lamp fixed to a part of a vehicle body or a vehicle body. However, for example, in the case of a signal lamp or a sign lamp, in particular, a so-called high mount stop lamp, a substantially flat plate-shaped mounting portion protruding from the lamp body is made to face the mounting seat of the supporting member. There are many mounting structures in which the mounting portion and the mounting seat are coupled by screws.

FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 show an example of such a mounting structure.

In the figure, a is a rear spoiler fixed to the vehicle body, the rear spoiler a is formed in a substantially hollow shape, and a notch b opened toward the front and the lower side thereof is formed. The lamp fixture seats c, c, c projecting downward from the top plate inside are provided at a position just behind the notch b, and the lamp fixture seats c, c, c are provided.
Screw holes e, e, e on the lower surface d, d, d of the lamp
Are formed.

f, f, f are the lower wall plate parts of the rear spoiler a,
It is a notch for inserting a screw formed in a portion facing the lamp mounting seats c, c, c.

g is a high mount stop lamp mounted in the notch b of the rear spoiler a, and includes a lamp body h elongated in the left-right direction and light sources i, i, ... Mounting pieces j, j, j having a substantially flat plate shape are projected from the back surface of the body h, and mounting holes k, k, k are formed in the mounting pieces j, j, j.

Therefore, in order to mount the high mount stop lamp g on the rear spoiler a, first, the high mount stop lamp g is inserted so as to fit in the notch b, and its mounting piece j,
The upper surfaces l, l, l of j, j and the mounting surfaces d, d, d of the lamp mounting seats c, c, c are respectively overlapped. Then, from below the mounting pieces j, j, j, the screw insertion notches f, f, f
Through the mounting holes k, k, k with the screws m, m, m and screwed into the screw holes e, e, e of the lamp mounting seats c, c, c, and the mounting pieces j, j, j and the lamp mounting. The seats c, c, c are connected to each other so that the high mount stop lamp g is attached to the notch b.
Attach it to the rear spoiler a while it is placed inside.

(D. Problem to be solved by the device) By the way, the above-mentioned high mount stop lamp g
In the mounting structure of the (vehicle lamp) to the rear spoiler a (support member), the high mount stop lamp g is kept in hand until the high mount stop lamp g is finally mounted to the rear spoiler a. Must be gripped with the lamp mounting seats c, c,
c screw holes e, e, e and mounting pieces j, j, j mounting holes k,
It must be done in a state where k and k are matched, and the mounting workability was extremely poor.

That is, when attaching the high mount stop lamp g to the rear spoiler a, first, the high mount stop lamp g is gripped by hand, and this is inserted into the notch b of the rear spoiler a. At this time, the upper surfaces l, l, l of the mounting pieces j, j, j of the high mount stop ramp g are the mounting surfaces d, d, d of the lamp mounting seats c, c, c of the rear spoiler a.
It must be in contact with d, and its mounting holes k, k, k and screw holes e, e, e must be aligned.

Then, while holding this state by hand, the first screw m
Is inserted from the screw insertion notch f of the rear spoiler a, and is screwed into the screw hole e of the lamp mounting seat c through the mounting hole k of the mounting piece j of the high mount stop lamp g. Then, similarly to the first screw m, the second and third screws m, m are sequentially passed through the mounting holes j, k of the mounting pieces j, j to the screw holes e, e of the lamp mounting seats c, c. Screw on. After the first screw m is screwed into the screw hole e, the high mount stop lamp g does not fall off the rear spoiler a even if the hand holding the high mount stop lamp g is released. Until the pawl screw m is screwed into the screw hole e, it must be held by hand so that these positional deviations do not occur.

As described above, mounting of the high mount stop lamp g (vehicle lamp) on the rear spoiler a (support member) is troublesome and there is a problem that workability is extremely poor.

(E. Means for Solving the Problem) In order to solve the above problems, the mounting structure of the vehicular lamp of the present invention has a locking pin projecting upward on the support member and a vertical direction on the vehicular lamp. A plurality of locked pieces each having a locking hole penetrating in the direction are formed along the longitudinal direction, respectively, and the lamp is locked with the locking pin of the support member and the locking hole of the locked piece of the lamp. The mounting piece of (1) and the mounting seat of the supporting member face each other, and in that state, they can be coupled by a screw.

Therefore, according to the mounting structure of the vehicular lamp of the present invention, the vehicular lamp is locked to the support member by the locking hole and the locking pin of the locked piece before the final connection by the screw coupling means. In addition, the vehicle lamp can be held at a predetermined position of the support member without holding it by hand or fixing it with a jig,
Even if you release your hand from the vehicular lamp, it will not fall off the support member, and since it can be connected with screws in that state, screwing work is extremely easy, It is possible to improve the workability of mounting the long vehicle lamp on the lower surface side of the support member.
