It demonstrates by FIG. 15 which shows the cross section which follows the A-15A line, and FIG. 16 which shows the rear view of the lamp apparatus of FIG.

The above high mount stop lamp device is
It is provided at a high position from the road surface at the rear of the vehicle, for example, on the back of the trunk lid, on the rear shelf in the vehicle compartment, or on the lower surface of the ceiling at a location where visibility from the rear vehicle is high and whether the vehicle is braked or not can be checked. It has been installed in many vehicles these days because it is easier to check. For example,
The inner panel 2 of the vehicle as shown in FIGS.
When mounting the high mount stop lamp device 10 on the back surface of the trunk lid 6 including the outer panel 4 and
The lens 12 mounted in the lamp housing 16 is inserted into the opening 14 of the outer panel 4 to be exposed, and the lamp body 1
6 is fixed to the inner panel 2 by the lamp bracket 18, but when the lens 12 is in direct contact with the outer panel 4, if the lens 12 is fixed to the inner panel 2 by the bolt 20 and the nut 22, the lens 12 and The contact of the outer panel 4 becomes stronger and the outer panel 4 is distorted.

In order to solve this, conventionally, the opening 14 of the outer panel 4 is made larger than the outer shape of the insertion portion of the lens 12, and the gaps 26, 26 between the opening 14 and the entire circumference of the lens 12 are formed.
A sealing material 24 such as sponge or rubber is provided on a to prevent the lens 12 from directly contacting the outer panel 4. Further, there is also a case in which the bracket 18 is made of an elastic member to elastically support the lamp body 10 on the inner panel 2 so as to prevent distortion.

Further, as the above-mentioned conventional examples, there are JP-A-7-81480, JP-A-7-18979, and the like, which are formed of a plate material fixed to the lamp body as in the above-mentioned conventional example. A plurality of elastic mounting brackets 18 are fastened to the peripheral edge of the opening of the inner panel 2 with bolts 20, and the opening 14 of the outer panel 4 is made larger than the outer shape of the insertion portion of the lens 12, so that the opening of the outer panel and the lens 12 are separated from each other. The sealing material 24 is provided in the gaps 26, 26a between the entire circumference.
Alternatively, a protector softer than the lens is provided so that the lens 12 does not directly contact the outer panel 4.

Problems may occur such as misalignment of the lens 12 or a gap in the seal portion causing water or dust to enter the trunk room (not shown).

In the case where the elastic mounting bracket 18 is made of an elastic member, the reaction force of the elastic member may deviate from the insertion direction of the lamp at the time of mounting, or the elastic mounting bracket 18 itself has to have elastic characteristics. The bracket 18 is thin, thin, and weak in rigidity. Therefore, the lamp body 16 vibrates due to vibrations during traveling,
Since the lens 12 may come into contact with the outer panel 4 due to the displacement, the seal material 24 and the protector cannot be eliminated.

Therefore, in any of the conventional mounting structures described above, it is necessary to use an elastic material such as an expensive spring material for the elastic mounting bracket 18 fixed to the lamp body 16, and a plurality of elastic mounting brackets are required. The cost of the above-mentioned lamp device increases because the number of lamp units is required.

It is very difficult to do so, and this manufacturing cost increases, and if the accuracy of the above-mentioned accuracy is wrong, the assembly dimensions of each part of the lamp device will be rounded up, and water, dust, etc. will enter. May occur.

Further, as described above, the seal member 24 is simply sandwiched between the end of the opening 14 of the outer panel 4 and the lens 12, as shown in FIG. The position of the lens 12 is difficult to determine, and therefore the above-mentioned problems may occur, and it takes a lot of time to mount the lamp device. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and a lamp bracket formed integrally with a lamp housing with high rigidity is provided in the inner peripheral portion of the opening of the inner panel into which the lamp body is inserted. It is fixed to an elastic portion provided on the panel side and has elastic characteristics. On the other hand, on the outer circumference of the insertion portion of the lens of the lamp device, a surface portion extending in the lens insertion direction and a portion extending in the direction intersecting with the same surface portion and integrated with the same surface portion. By providing a plurality of ribs that have surface parts that are formed in a uniform manner and providing a sealing material between the inner surface of the outer panel and the lens surface, the rear end position of the lens and the outer panel can be easily positioned, and vibration and displacement can occur.
