Description

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

In particular, the present invention relates to a mounting device in which a vehicular lamp, in which a lamp body and a lens are assembled to each other at their peripheral edges, is disposed in an opening of an exterior member.

As shown in FIG. 1, in this type of conventional lamp, in order to assemble the lamp C into the opening of an exterior member a such as a vehicle body panel or bumper or grill, a nut d is inserted inside the exterior member a.
The peripheral edge e' of the lens e, the peripheral edge f' of the lamp body f, and the exterior member a are collinearly aligned by screwing the screw g into the nut d, thereby performing this attachment.

However, with this structure, the number of parts increases, and
It takes a lot of time and effort to thread the screw g together, making the process complicated, and if the front (outside) position of the screw g is narrow, this threading work may not be possible.

In the conventional example shown in FIG. 2, the peripheral edge e' of the lens e' and the peripheral edge f' of the clamp dif are assembled using a screw g, and a speed nut d' is driven from the inside of the exterior member a into the threaded part of the screw g. It was carefully assembled.

Although this configuration does not require much effort for screwing together, the problem of the number of parts remains, and it cannot be adopted when the inner position of the screw g is narrow.

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention not only reduces the number of parts, but also allows the lamp to be assembled very easily even in narrow spaces where work is difficult, resulting in good workability, and also contributes to cost reduction. An object of the present invention is to provide a mounting device for a vehicle lamp that can be mounted on a vehicle.

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

In this example, the present invention is applied to a mounting device for an automobile lamp, which can be applied to a front combination lamp or the like.

As illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the vehicular lamp mounting device of the present invention includes a vehicular lamp 3, which is formed by assembling a lamp body 1 and a lens 2 together at peripheral parts 11 and 21, as an exterior member. A mounting device disposed in the opening 41 of No. 4,
The exterior member 4 is provided with a presser portion 5 to press the front edge 22 of the lens 2, and the exterior member 4 is further provided with an engagement hole 6 through which an elastic locking portion provided on the lamp body 1 is inserted. By engaging 7, the lamp 3 is assembled to the vehicle body.

The elastic locking portion 7 in the illustrated example is formed integrally with the lamp body 1.

Further, the exterior member 4 is a resin bumper assembled to the vehicle body.

More specifically, the lamp body 1 of this example is made of synthetic resin such as polypropylene resin, and the lens 2 is made of synthetic resin such as acrylic resin.

As shown in FIG. 4, the elastic locking portion 7 extends the peripheral edge 11 of the resin lamp body 1 further outward, and has a stepped locking surface 71 and a tapered portion that is an inclined surface. 72 and a protrusion 73 that comes into contact with the surface of the exterior member 4.

On the other hand, the front edge of the exterior member 4 is extended toward the lamp to serve as a presser portion 5, and a rib 42 is provided inwardly to form an engagement hole 6 therein.

In the figure, 12 is a concave groove of the lamp body 1 in which the joining leg 23 of the lens 2 is arranged, 8 is a backing, 13 is a protrusion for engaging the lens 2, and 24 is a step corresponding to the protrusion.

For such attachment, the engagement structure may be used to attach one end of the lamp, and other appropriate means may be used for the other end, or both ends may be assembled using this engagement structure.

With the above structure, by engaging the elastic locking part 7 with the retaining hole 6 and pressing the front edge line 22 of the lens 2 with the holding part 5, the lamp 3 can be attached to the vehicle body with one touch very easily. I can do it.

Screws are not required, reducing the number of parts and improving workability, which also leads to cost reduction.

Note that a cross section perpendicular to FIG. 3 is shown in FIG. 5.

Here, the edge of the lamp body 1 is simply fitted into the hole 43 of the exterior member 4, but in the case of a large lamp, this may be reinforced with screws or the like.

As described above, in the vehicle lamp mounting device of the present invention, the vehicle lamp, which is made up of a lamp body and a lens assembled together at their peripheral edges, is disposed in an opening of an exterior member, and a presser is attached to the exterior member. A holding part is provided to press the front edge of the lens with the holding part, and an engaging hole is provided in the exterior member, and an elastic locking part integrally protruding from the lamp body is engaged with the engaging hole. Since the light fixture is attached to the vehicle body by this method, it goes without saying that there is no need for mounting parts such as screws, but it can also be easily installed with one touch even in narrow spaces, thus improving work efficiency. There is an effect that can be done.

It should be noted that, as a matter of course, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment.
