Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This invention relates to a lamp body mounting device.

This type of lamp body mounting device is generally used for attaching a lamp body to a vehicle body.

An example of a conventional lamp mounting device is the one shown in FIG. 1a.

This conventional example is a mounting platen attached to a lamp body a)b
and the holding platen attached to the bumper C on the side of the car) d
It has a structure M consisting of.

These two brackets) b and c are assembled with the poles e and f so that their angles can be adjusted freely.

However, in such a conventional lamp body mounting device, the first
As shown schematically in the figure, the lamp body a may be tilted, and the irradiation angle of the lamp body a may change and deviate from the initially set normal angle.

Further, since the driver is free to change the irradiation angle of the lamp body a by loosening the button, the installation angle of the lamp body a may be changed from the normal position.

In such cases, the direction of the light may be directed upwards, potentially dazzling oncoming vehicles and pedestrians.

This idea was made by focusing on the problems of the conventional example as mentioned above, and an angle adjustment bracket is interposed between the holding bracket on the side of the car body and the mounting bracket on the side of the lamp body. The present invention aims to solve the above problem by providing the angle adjustment bracket with a regulating part that regulates the tilting of the lamp body to a certain degree, and adjusting the tilting angle of the lamp body to a certain degree.

Furthermore, when setting the tiltable angle range of such a lamp body, the angle adjustment bracket is attached to a long hole formed in the holding bracket, so that the angle adjustment bracket can be installed at a position corresponding to the length of the long hole. It is also an object of the present invention to make it possible to change the tilting range of the lamp body by the regulating part of this angle adjustment bracket so that the tilting range of the lamp body can be set arbitrarily as desired. .

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

FIG. 2 shows this embodiment in an exploded perspective view.
FIG. 3 is a side view and a diagram showing the operation.

As exemplified by the embodiment shown in the figures, the lamp body mounting device of the present invention includes a holding bracket 1 that is attached to a bumper 4b and a reinforcement 4a that are fixed to a vehicle body panel 40 via a pumper tie (not shown); It consists of a mounting bracket 2 attached to the lamp body 6, and an angle adjustment bracket 3 interposed between these mounting brackets 2 and the holding bracket 1.

The angle adjustment bracket 3 is provided with an angle adjustment bracket 3 that, when the lamp body 6 is tilted, comes into contact with the lamp body 6 and adjusts the angle of the lamp body 6 further.
A regulating portion 31 is provided to regulate tilting in the direction.

In the illustrated example, the lower edge of the bent piece 32 at the lower part of the angle adjustment bracket 3 constitutes the regulating portion 31 and is buttoned, and the lower edge of the lower edge of the bending piece 32 at the bottom of the angle adjustment bracket 3 serves as a button to prevent the lamp body 6 from tilting in the direction of the arrow A. By contacting the upper surface of the body 6 (specifically, the surface 21 of the mounting bracket 2), further tilting is prevented.

Further, the present invention has a long hole 11 in the holding bracket 1.
is provided, and the angle adjustment bracket 3 is attached by pressing a button into this elongated hole 11.

With this configuration, the mounting position of the angle adjustment bracket 3 can be moved by the length l of the elongated hole 11.

The above-mentioned regulation of the tilting angle of the lamp body 6 is performed by the regulation part 31 provided on the angle adjustment bracket 3, so by changing the position of the regulation part 31, the tilting angle to be regulated can also be changed. Therefore, when the angle adjustment bracket 3 is mounted through the elongated hole 11, the tilting angle can also be adjusted by adjusting the position.

To explain this using an illustrated example, as shown in FIG. 3 showing the side surface, when the bracket 3 is attached to the holding bracket 1 with the screw 8 screwed into the screw hole 33 of the angle adjustment bracket 3, the angle adjustment bracket 3 has a length l. At the rightmost end of the elongated hole 11 in Figure 3, screw 8.
When the angle adjustment bracket 3 is attached to the position, the restriction part 31 prevents the lamp body from tilting at position 1 shown by the solid line in the figure, and no further tilting in the A direction (upward direction) is performed. .

Incidentally, the tilting movement in the B direction is prevented because the lower end of the holding leg 13 and the fixed surface 21 are always in contact with each other.

However, when the screw 8 is installed at the leftmost end of the elongated hole 11, the angle adjustment bracket 3 moves forward (to the left in the figure), and the regulating part 3
1 has also changed its position, and the restricted tilting range is further limited to the lower side, as shown by the imaginary line.

In this way, by changing the mounting position of the angle adjustment bracket 3 to the elongated hole 11, the angular range to be regulated can be adjusted to a desired degree and set arbitrarily.

It goes without saying that the range of the regulation angle itself can be arbitrarily set at the initial stage by designing the length of the elongated hole 11.

The state of contact of the regulating portion 31 of the angle adjustment bracket 3 with the lamp body 6 (mounting bracket 2) is shown in detail in FIG. 4, which is a directional arrow diagram shown in FIG.

The configuration of the illustrated embodiment will be explained in more detail with the following buttons.

As shown in FIG. 2, the holding bracket 1 is provided with the long holes 11 described above in its flat part 12, and holding legs 13 are suspended from both sides of the flat part 12.

A threaded hole 14 is formed in this holding leg 13.

On the other hand, the mounting bracket 2 also has mounting legs 22 raised from both sides of the fixing surface 21 to the lamp body 6, and screw holes 23 are formed therein.
and the hole 14 of the holding bracket 1, and are assembled to both the brackets N and 2 using bolts 7 so as to be able to tilt relative to each other (71 in the figure is a washer).

As explained above, this tiltable range is regulated to a certain degree by the angle adjustment bracket 3.

Further, the holding bracket 1 is provided with a nut 15.

This is for attaching the holding bracket 1 to the vehicle body.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, it can be fastened to a bumper 4b reinforcement 4a on the side of the vehicle body with bolts 5.

Other suitable means may be used for attachment.

The angle adjustment bracket 3 is provided with screw holes 33 on its top surface 34 for attachment to the holding bracket 1 described above, and also has guide pieces 35 hanging from both sides of the top surface 34.
form.

This guide piece 35 comes into contact with the inner surface of the holding leg 13 of the holding bracket 1 during assembly, and slides on the inner surface when moving this angle adjustment bracket 3 using the elongated hole 11. It plays a role in guiding its movement.

At the same time, it also serves as a rotation stopper to prevent the angle adjustment bracket 3 from rotating about the screw hole 33 as indicated by arrow B in the figure.

The angle adjustment bracket 3 further includes a wall portion 36 that hangs down from the top surface portion 34 to the front, a bent portion 37 continuous with the wall portion 36, and a bent piece 32 that is slightly bent from the bent portion 37. , these are integrally formed from a piece of metal.

The fact that the lower edge of this bent piece 32 forms the regulating part 31 is similar to the above-mentioned button.

The mounting bracket 2 is screwed to the lamp body 6 at its fixing surface 21 and is integrated therewith.

When the outer surface of the fixing surface 21 comes into contact with the regulating portion 31, the rotational movement of the lamp body 6 in the A direction is regulated.

Incidentally, the tilting in direction B is as shown in Fig. 5.
The ends of the holding legs 13 are always in contact with the fixing surface 21 of the mounting bracket 2 of the lamp body 6, so that tilting is restricted.

With the above configuration, the regulating portion 3 of the angle adjustment bracket 3
1, the lamp body 6 (mounting bracket 2) is prevented from tilting beyond the initial setting.

Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the rung body 6 from tilting upward more than necessary due to loosening of the screws and dazzling pedestrians and oncoming vehicles, which is advantageous in terms of traffic safety.

Furthermore, even if the driver or the like tries to freely change the tilting angle of the lamp body 6, the lamp body 6 cannot be tilted beyond the regulated range, so that dazzling can be similarly prevented.

Moreover, such a tilting range can be adjusted by adjusting the length l of the elongated hole 11.

In other words, the angle adjustment bracket 3 can be moved back and forth by loosening the screw 8 into the elongated hole 11, and the corresponding change in the position of the regulating part 31 causes the lamp body to 6
The tilting range can be adjusted.

This has been explained using FIG. 3.

In addition, in the illustrated example, when moving the angle adjustment bracket 3, the bracket 3 can be smoothly guided and moved by the guide piece 35 without rotating in the C direction with respect to the holding bracket 1.

Moreover, as a result of providing the elongated hole 11, errors in mounting to a vehicle can be reduced.

That is, depending on the vehicle type, the position of the lamp body 6 when attached to the side of the vehicle body may deviate from the set position due to poor attachment accuracy to the bumper 4, etc., but the length l of the elongated hole 11
This error can be absorbed because the correction can be made by that amount.

Although the above embodiment has been described in which the lamp body is suspended from the bumper, it is of course possible to place the lamp body on the bumper.

In the above example, the regulation part 31 was configured to come into contact with the mounting bracket 2 that is integrated with the lamp body 6, but it is of course possible to directly contact the lamp body 6 to perform regulation. be.

Further, although the illustrated example is an application of the present invention to a fog lamp for an automobile, the present invention can be used for any other lamp body.

As explained above, the lamp body mounting device of the present invention has an angle adjustment bracket interposed between a holding bracket on the side of the vehicle body and a mounting bracket on the side of the lamp body, so that when the lamp body is tilted, Since the lamp body is provided with a restriction part that restricts further tilting when it comes into contact with the crocodile, it is possible to prevent the lamp body from tilting more than necessary. can be regulated.

In addition, as a result of this regulation, it is possible to reliably prevent the lamp body from tilting more than necessary due to loosening of screws, etc., or to prevent the lamp body from tilting freely beyond a certain level by the driver, etc., and contributes to traffic safety. be able to.

Furthermore, the lamp body mounting device of the present invention has a long hole formed in the holding bracket, and the angle adjustment bracket is attached to the long hole. By adjusting the position, the tilting restriction position of the lamp body can be adjusted by the regulating part, and the tilting restriction angle of the lamp body can be adjusted as desired. This has the advantage that the tilting range can be adjusted to a certain extent depending on other circumstances.

Although the illustrated embodiment has many other effects, the present invention is not limited thereto.
