Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention is particularly applicable to push-fit type lamp socket devices, such as motorcycle instruments, which are exposed to an external atmosphere and are used in a vibrating atmosphere. In particular, the present invention relates to a push-fit type lamp socket device in which a lamp socket made of a flexible material is pushed into a hole provided in a meter housing and fixed therein.

[Prior Art] As disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-37345 previously submitted by the applicant of this application, this type of lamp socket device has a hollow socket body with a bottom made of a flexible material such as rubber. A cylindrical guide is integrally provided from the bottom of the socket body in a direction almost orthogonal to the socket body, and an electrical cord electrically connected to the lamp body is inserted through this guide and routed to the outside for wiring. This lamp socket device is fitted by being pushed into a hole provided in the housing of a meter or the like.

In this case, by forming the socket body itself from a flexible material, vibration resistance and airtightness are improved, and a guide provided in the socket body allows the wiring direction of the electrical cord led out from the lamp socket body to be directed in a predetermined direction. It has the advantage of being configurable.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the lamp socket device described above, although the wiring direction of the electric cord can be easily set in a predetermined direction, a cylindrical guide is provided continuously from the hollow part of the socket body in a substantially orthogonal direction. Therefore, when inserting the electrical cord from the hollow part of the socket body towards the guide, the electrical cord must be bent in a direction substantially perpendicular to the depth direction of the socket body, making assembly difficult.

Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention improves the structure of the guide part of the electrical cord led out from the socket body, and allows easy setting of the direction of the electrical cord, while also making it easier to assemble. The purpose is to improve the airtightness between the electrical cord and the socket body.

[Means for solving problems]

The structure of the present invention, which is distantly related to the above object, is that the lamp body is inserted into a bottomed hollow socket body made of a flexible material such as com, and the electric cord connected to the lamp body side is inserted into the socket. In a push-fit type lamp socket device in which wiring is led out from a pair of holes formed on the bottom side of the main body and wires are routed, the lamp socket is integrally formed from a side wall portion on the bottom side of the socket main body in a direction substantially orthogonal to the socket main body. A guide portion extending and protruding from the guide portion is formed, and a passage portion is formed along the longitudinal direction of the guide portion through which the electric cord is routed and disposed, and this passage portion communicates with the hole portion and extends along the longitudinal direction of the guide portion. a first passage portion formed with a notch along the direction;
A second passage is formed by the first passage and a second passage extending to the free end of the guide, and the electric cord is connected coaxially with the hole and continuous from the bottom of the first passage. A pipe is formed integrally with the socket body to protrude from the socket body and has enough flexibility to accommodate bending and deformation due to the wiring of the electrical cord when it is inserted through the socket. As a means for suppressing floating, a recess surrounding the pipe is formed on the bottom surface of the first passage provided in the socket body.

The electric cord 10 is drawn out and guided from the free end of the electric cord 10 to the outside, and the drawn out electric cord 10 is connected to a power source (not shown).

In this case, the pipe 8 is formed to be flexible enough to be deformed by bending and deforming the electrical cord 10 as it is routed, and the pipe 8 is configured to keep the electrical cord 10 side watertight. .

The lamp body 11 also has a filament 1 in the spherical portion 12.
The lower end of the lamp body 11 is formed flat as a sealing part 15, and a part of the thin lead wire 14 connected to the thin lead wire 14 is led out to the outside. 14 is bent upward along this sealing portion 15.

By inserting the lamp body 11 into the socket body 1, the flat sealing portion 15 is press-fitted between the conductive terminals 9 inserted into the second space 3 of the socket body 1, and at the same time, the thin lead wire 14 and The conductive terminal 9 is connected to form an electric line, and the spherical portion 12 of the lamp body 11 is surrounded and supported within the first space 2 of the socket body 1.

The electric cord 10 can be easily routed and installed from the free end side, and by providing the pipe 8 continuously from the hole 5 position and integrally with the socket body 1, it is possible to adapt to the bending of the electric cord 10. Since the pipe 8 is deformed, there is an advantage that the airtightness between the electric cord 10 and the socket body 1 side can be improved.

Furthermore, as shown in the drawings, the vibro is suspended from the middle of the recess 16 which is one step down from the bottom of the first passage 7A of the socket main body 1, and the electric cord 10 is bent together with the pipe 8 so that the pipe 8 is It is possible to prevent the cord from floating up from the bottom surface of the socket body 1 together with the cord 10, and it is also possible to prevent interference due to catching on other objects.

In this case, the size and shape of the socket body, the thickness of the electrical cord, the width and thickness of the guide section, the shape, width or depth of the passage section, the thickness and length of the pipe itself, etc. should be adjusted as appropriate for each component.
