Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a vehicle lamp having at least two light chambers, one for a tail lamp and a stop lamp, and one for a turn signal.

In such vehicle lighting equipment, the light bulbs installed in each light chamber constitute a harness that is integrally connected with a socket that receives the light bulb and electric wires that connect each socket. Because the light chambers protrude and abut against the lamp housing, the light chambers are divided by the vehicle body side panel, and the harness may not be able to be constructed integrally.

Fig. 3 shows an example of the above-mentioned case, where a is a lamp body, and a part of the body forms a light chamber for a tail lamp and a stop lamp, and a part of the body C forms a light chamber for a turn signal lamp. A part of the body is provided with an outer lens d and an inner lens e, and a cover f is attached.Sockets hg and h are attached to this cover f, and light bulbs i and j are installed. One harness is formed by light bulbs i and j, sockets g and h, connector k, and light bulbs l and m.

Further, a lens 0 is provided on a body part C forming a light chamber for a turn signal lamp, and a socket q that receives a light bulb p is attached thereto, and an electric wire t and a connector U are provided on this socket q.

By doing this, the body side panel n protrudes and the body part C is extended between the body part C and the body part C.
By configuring the light fixture with a mounting structure that abuts on the vehicle body side panel, the light fixture can be handled as an integral assembly until it is installed on the vehicle body side panel, and after the vehicle body side panel is installed, the connector U can be connected to the connector U. Therefore, in addition to the connector for connecting to the power supply, a u is required for the connector.

As described above, even when the vehicle body side panel extends between at least two light chambers, the present invention allows the harness including the light bulbs to be installed in each light chamber to be formed as an integrated wiring structure in advance. The present invention aims to provide a vehicle light using a harness that does not require any connectors other than the connector for connection to a power source.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a lamp body, which is integrally molded from a synthetic resin material with a body part 2 forming a light chamber for a tail lamp and a stop lamp, and a body part 3 forming a light chamber for a turn signal lamp.

An inner lens 4 and an outer lens 5 provided outside the inner lens 4 are attached to the body part 2, and a lens 6 is attached to the body part 3.

A cover 7 molded from a synthetic resin material is provided on the body part 2.
is attached, and this cover 7 has a mounting seat 12.13 for mounting the socket (10.11) that received the light bulbs 8, 9.
and a storage part 16 for storing a turn signal light bulb 14 and a socket 15 that receives this light bulb 14 are integrally molded.

The harness having the light bulbs 8, 9, 14 and the sockets 10, 11, 15 is integrally connected by electric wires 17, 18, 19.

Light bulb 8 is used to assemble the light before it is installed on the vehicle body.
.
After installing it on the car body, remove the socket 1 from the car body side panel 20 as shown by the solid line in Figure 2.
5 is attached to a body part 3 forming a light chamber for a turn signal, and a light bulb 14 is installed in the light chamber.

The present invention is constructed as described above, and the turn signal light bulb 14 and socket 15 can be stored and mounted in the storage part 16 formed in the cover 7, and can be handled as a lighting assembly before being attached to the vehicle body. Therefore, light bulbs 8, 9, 14, socket 10° 11.15, electric wire 17,
18 and 19 can be configured in advance as an integral harness, so that the connectors 1 (, u) are no longer needed as in the conventional one.

In addition, the light bulb 14 and the socket 15 are stored in the housing part 16 of the cover 7.
Since it is stored and installed in the vehicle body, it is sufficiently protected and will not be damaged even when handled before being installed on the vehicle body.

Furthermore, since the storage portion 16 has a cover shape that is integrally molded with the cover 7, the socket 15 can be attached to the body part 3 after being attached to the vehicle body.
Even after the light bulb 14 is installed in the turn signal light chamber, the tail lamp and stop lamp light chambers, including the cover 7 provided with the storage section, are sealed to prevent light leakage and dust intrusion. It is possible to prevent this and maintain the function of the lamp.

As is clear from the above, the present invention has a small number of parts, is safe to handle, and can sufficiently maintain the lamp function. It is also extremely useful.
