Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a vehicle lamp.

In particular, lamp bodies defining mutually adjacent lamp chambers;
The present invention relates to a vehicle lamp including a section lens located at the front of each light chamber.

This type of device usually has a rim part located around the periphery of the section lens, and a part of the lens is covered by a cover due to the functional needs of the lamp, and the light-transmitting part of the cover is Some devices are configured so that light is emitted from the source.

In conventional lenses of this type, the cover is formed separately and attached to the lens, and the rim is also formed separately and attached to the lens.

Therefore, in the conventional technology, the number of parts increases, the manufacturing cost becomes high, and the management of parts is complicated.
Moreover, there is a problem in that it takes time and effort to assemble, resulting in poor workability.

In view of the above circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicular lamp which has a small number of parts, which facilitates parts management, and which reduces assembly man-hours and reduces costs.

An example of implementing the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The illustrated example is an application of the present invention to a rear combination lamp for an automobile.

The lamp of the present invention is equipped with a lamp body that defines mutually adjacent lamp chambers, and a section lens at the front of each lamp chamber. As shown, the lamp chambers A and B are located adjacent to each other, and lenses 21 and 21 are disposed in front of each of the lamp chambers A and B, respectively.

Light room A. In this example, the lamp body 1 defining the lamp body B also defines a lamp chamber C, and a lens 2 is disposed in front of the lamp chamber C.
3 is located.

According to the present invention, one or more lamp chambers C may be provided in addition to the two adjacent lamp chambers A and B.

In the illustrated example, the light chamber A is used as a tail and stop lamp, and the light chamber A contains a light body (bulb) 3a,
3b and an auxiliary light body 3c are provided.

The lamp chamber B is used as a backup lamp, and is provided with a lamp body 3d.

In the figure, 31 is a socket, and 32 is a socket holder that supports the lamp bodies 3a to 3d through the socket 31.

Further, in the present invention, at least a part of the circumferential part of the section lens at the front of one of the lamp chambers is provided with a light shielding function, and this part is used as a rim part.

In the illustrated example, the front lens 21 of the light chamber A is shown in FIG.
Rim portions 41 and 42 are formed along the upper and lower sides of.

In this example, the rim portions 41 and 42 are formed by applying opaque coating (indicated by thick lines) to the front surface of the corresponding portion of the lens 21, as shown in FIG.

The rim parts 41 and 42 also have a decorative function, so they can be painted with a metallic color, but they may also be coated with any other light-shielding paint, or they can be covered with tape or the like that has a light-shielding function, or they can be painted with a metal color. It may be formed by means such as metal vapor deposition or plating.

In order to clarify the locations of the rim portions 41 and 42, fine dots have been added to the corresponding positions of the rim portions 41 and 42 in FIG.

Similar fine points are also attached to the rim portion, which will be described later.

Furthermore, in the present invention, a part of the cover that covers the front section lens of the other adjacent lamp chamber is extended to the section lens, and this part of the cover has a light transmitting part and a rim part having a light blocking function. to form.

In the illustrated example, the cover portion 5 is formed integrally with the lens 21 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

Two approximately rectangular windows arranged side by side are formed in the center of the cover part 5 to form light transmitting parts 51 and 52.

The section lens 22 of the T-chamber B fits into this light-transmitting part 51, 52 as shown in FIG.
The light is emitted to the outside.

In this example, the light transmitting portions 51 and 52 are constructed by simply cutting out the cover portion 5, but they may be constructed by leaving a transparent portion as the lens 21, and the construction is arbitrary.

The portions other than the light transmitting portions 51 and 52 constitute the rim portion 43, which in this example is formed by applying a light-shielding paint in the same way as the rim portions 41 and 42 described above.

However, this rim portion 43 of the cover part 5 is
In the figure, the thick line indicates that the button is coated on the entire inner and outer surfaces of the cover part 5, thereby making the light shielding function even more reliable.

The coating range for forming the rim parts 41 to 43 in this example is as follows:
It is indicated by the symbol PK in FIGS. 3 to 5.

The painting range on the casing and cover part 5 is indicated in FIG.

It should be noted that the lens 22 in FIG. 6 is shown in a state in which it does not fit into the light transmitting portions 51, 52.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 211 is a light-shielding/junction portion for shielding light between the two light chambers A and B and for joining them together.

In FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, 53 is a light transmitting portion 51.5
This is the transverse section that separates the two.

In FIG. 4, reference numeral 54 denotes a holding projection for holding the lens 22.

In FIG. 2, 55 is a reinforcing lip. Since the configuration is as described above, the cover portion 5 that should cover the other section lens 22 is integrally connected to one section lens 21, and the necessary rim portion is also formed directly on this lens 21, so it is possible to separate it. No body cover or rim is required.

Therefore, the number of parts is significantly reduced compared to the conventional method, which not only facilitates parts management but also contributes to cost reduction.

And just by assembling the lens 21, the cover part 5 and the rim part 4 are removed.
1 to 43 have been installed, the number of man-hours required for assembly is reduced compared to the conventional structure in which each assembly is required, and the workability is extremely good.

As described above, the vehicle lamp of the present invention includes a lamp body defining mutually adjacent lamp chambers, and a section lens located at the front of each lamp chamber, and at least the circumference of the front section lens of one of the lamp chambers. A part of the section is provided with a light-shielding function to serve as a rim part, and a part of the cover is extended to cover the section lens on the front side of the other adjacent lamp chamber. It is characterized by having a light-transmitting part and a rim part with a light-blocking function, so there are fewer parts, easy parts management, and the number of man-hours required for assembly is significantly reduced compared to conventional products. This has the effect of contributing to cost reduction.

Of course, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment.
