Further, a mounting groove 19 is provided substantially at the center of the other end of the housing 10 of the front combination lamp 1.

[0004] In the drawings, reference numeral 2 denotes a mounting body, which is a headlamp. The headlamp 2 has a housing 20
The seal leg 23 of the lens 22 is set in the seal recess 21 at the edge of the front opening of the lens via a seal material (for example, a seal material and an adhesive such as hot melt) 24, and the housing 2
The lamp room 25 is defined by the lens 0 and the lens 22. A separate reflector (not shown) having a reflection surface on its surface is arranged in the lamp chamber 25, and a light source bulb (not shown) is arranged on the front side of the reflector. In this headlamp 2, the housing 20 and the lens 22 may be mechanically fixed with a clip or the like (not shown).
In some cases, the mechanical fixing of the clip or the like and the above-described sealing material 24 are used in combination. In this headlamp 2, a separate reflector is arranged, but a reflective surface may be provided directly on the inner surface of the housing 20. This headlamp 2
A mounting portion 26 is integrally provided substantially at one end of the housing 20 (an end on the front combination lamp 1 side), and a mounting ball concave portion 27 is provided in the mounting portion 26 as a fitting concave portion. A mounting plate 28 is provided substantially at one end of the headlamp 2, and a screw hole (not shown) is provided in the mounting plate 28.

In the figure, reference numeral 4 denotes a pivot. The pivot 4 includes a spherical portion 41 as a fitting projection at one end, a flange portion 42 at an intermediate portion, and a screw portion 43 at the other end. The screw part 43 of the pivot 4 is screwed into the screw hole 170 of the mounting boss part 17 of the front combination lamp 1.
In the figure, 5 is a screw. Thus, the spherical portion 41 of the pivot 4 is attached to the mounting portion 26 of the headlamp 2.

In particular, a mounting structure (so-called pivot) by fitting the spherical portion 41 (fitting convex portion) of the pivot 4 on the front combination lamp 1 and the mounting ball concave portion 27 (fitting concave portion) on the headlamp 2 side. The mechanism) can attach the front combination lamp 1 as a vehicle component to the headlamp 2 as an attachment body without looking and without using an attachment tool or the like. For this reason, the mounting structure by the fitting of the fitting convex portion and the fitting concave portion is a part that cannot be visually observed and where a mounting tool or the like cannot be used. (For example, mounting work cannot be performed with a mounting structure by tightening bolts and nuts or the like), which is a so-called blind work. Note that, instead of the spherical portion 41 of the pivot 4 as the above-mentioned fitting convex portion, a substantially cylindrical pin portion may be used. In this case, the fitting concave portion of the mounting portion 26 of the headlamp 2 has a cylindrical shape.

The front combination lamp 1 is detachably mounted on the vehicle body 3 by inserting the mounting groove 19 into a mounting plate portion 30 of the vehicle body 3.

The steps of attaching the front combination lamp 1 to the headlamp 2, attaching the front combination lamp 1 to the vehicle body 3, and attaching the headlamp 2 to the vehicle body 3 in the order of the front combination lamp 1, the headlamp 2, It depends on the type of the vehicle body 3. Japanese Patent Application No. 6-31361 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-245004), filed by the present applicant, has been proposed as a mounting structure by fitting the above-mentioned fitting protrusion and fitting recess. There is a mounting structure described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-15431 as a mounting structure in which is a vehicle body.

[0008]

However, in the mounting structure in which the fitting projection (the ball 41 of the pivot 4) and the fitting recess (the mounting ball recess 227) are fitted, the vehicle component (front The combination lamp 1) and the mounting body (the headlamp 2) are subjected to stress (for example, vibration during running of the vehicle), and the direction opposite to the fitting direction between the fitting projection and the fitting recess, that is, the fitting projection. If a force in the direction in which the part and the fitting concave are disengaged acts on the fitting convex and the fitting concave, the fitting convex and the fitting concave in the fitted state may come off. In particular, the mounting dimensions of the front combination lamp 1 to the headlamp 2, the mounting dimensions of the front combination lamp 1 to the vehicle body 3, the mounting dimensions of the headlamp 2 to the vehicle body 3, and the like, that is, the mounting dimensions of the vehicle parts and the mounting body When there is an error in the above, the fitting projection and the fitting recess in the fitted state may easily come off due to the action of the dimensional error and the above-mentioned stress.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for a vehicle component, which can reliably prevent a fitting projection and a fitting recess in a fitted state from coming off.

[0010]
