JPS59149834A - Setting structure for car lighting apparatus - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a car from being simply damaged in time of its turning sideways, despite a simple structure, by installing each of turn signal lighting apparatus in a way of situating them more inside than the outside end, in an extension part of the rear fender of a motor three wheeler or the like. CONSTITUTION:The setting structure of each of turn signal indicators 6 is as follows that these indicators 6 are installed in each position situated more inside than the outside end to each of extension parts 4a and 4b of a plastic rear fender 4 so that when a car turns sideways to the left by way of example, first an outside end A of the extension part 4a touches the ground, thus an impact in time of turning sideways will not act on the turn signal indicator 6 so directly. Afterward, the car further goes to tilting and even if the indicator 6 touches down to the ground, the plastic rear fender 4 in herently has its own resilient capabilities and in addition, with large elastic deformation in the fender 4, the impact of collision is well relieved to ease whereby damage to the turn signal indicator 6 in time of said turning sideways can be prevented. What is more, it will do enough with a simple structure.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a vehicle lamp such as a direction indicator, and more specifically, a mounting structure suitable for use in a motorcycle having three or four wheels (hereinafter referred to as a tricycle). This relates to the mounting structure of a lamp.

A vehicle such as a tricycle has a pair of left and right rear wheels, and has a structure in which a rear fender covers the upper surface of each rear wheel. In this type of vehicle, when installing a pair of lighting devices such as turn signals or side marker lights on the left and right sides separated from the center of the vehicle body (1), the lighting devices may be easily damaged even if the vehicle rolls over. We must make sure that there is no such thing.

An object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for a vehicle lamp in which a pair of left and right lamps has a simple structure and is not easily damaged when rolled over.

A mounting structure for a vehicle lamp according to the present invention that achieves the above object includes rear wheels provided on both rear sides of a vehicle body frame, and an extension portion that extends laterally from the vehicle body frame and covers the upper surface of the rear wheels. The vehicle is equipped with a resin rear fender formed with a resin rear fender, characterized in that a lamp is attached to each extension part of the rear fender at a position inside the outer end of the extension part. It is something.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

The figure shows a tricycle having a turn signal mounting structure according to the present invention, where 1 is a front wheel and 2° (2) 2 is a rear wheel provided on both left and right sides of the rear part of a vehicle body frame 5. The front wheel 1 is provided with a front fender 3, and the rear wheel 2 is provided with a rear fender 4.

The rear fender 4 is integrally molded from resin on the left and right sides, with left and right extensions 4a and 4b extending laterally from the vehicle body frame 5 and covering the upper surface of the rear wheel 2.2. A direction indicator 6.6 is attached to each of the extensions 4a, 4b at a portion located inward from the outer end. 7 is a taillight.

The mounting structure for the direction indicator 6 described above is such that the direction indicator 6 is provided at a position inside the outer ends of the extension parts 4a and 4b of the resin-made rear fender 4, so that, for example, when the vehicle is When the vehicle rolls over to the left, the outer end A of the extending portion 4a first makes contact with the ground, and the impact caused by the rollover does not directly act on the direction indicator 6. After that, even if the vehicle tilts further and the direction indicator 6 touches the ground, the resin rear fender 4
Since the fender 4 has elastic force, the impact is subsequently alleviated by large elastic deformation of the fender 4. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the direction indicator 6 from being damaged when the vehicle (3) rolls over. Furthermore, since no special means are required to attach the direction indicator 6, a simple structure is required.

The present invention is applicable not only to the three-wheeled motor vehicle shown in the embodiment, but also to a four-wheeled motor vehicle having a similar rear fender structure.

Further, the direction indicator may be another lighting device such as a side marker lamp.

As described above, the mounting structure for a vehicle lamp according to the present invention includes rear wheels provided on both sides of the rear portion of the vehicle body frame, and
In a vehicle that is provided with a resin rear fender that has an extension that extends laterally from the vehicle body frame to cover the upper surface of the rear wheel, each extension of the rear fender is provided with an outer side of the extension. Since the structure is such that the direction indicators are mounted inside the end, the pair of left and right direction indicators can be easily mounted, while also preventing them from being easily damaged in the event of a rollover. be able to.
