Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a bulb cover for a headlamp of a vehicle such as an automobile, and is a headlamp bulb that allows easy installation of the headlamp and easy removal of the bulb cover after installation. The purpose is to provide cover.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bulb cover of the headlamp, which is made of an elastic material such as rubber, has a knob 2 attached above the bulb cover 1 to facilitate bulb replacement.

That is, the bulb cover 1 is fitted around the outer periphery of the tip 4 of the lamp housing 3 in order to ensure the waterproof function of the headlamp. Therefore, when replacing the valve, if the knob 2 as described above is not present, it is very difficult to remove and the work efficiency is poor, so the valve cover 1 is removed by strongly pulling the knob 2.

On the other hand, when attaching a headlamp to a vehicle body such as an automobile, it is necessary to attach the above-mentioned knob 2 by passing it through a headlamp mounting hole 5 formed in the vehicle body. However, when installing the headlamp, the knob 2 often gets caught on the flange 6 of the headlamp mounting hole 5, as shown by the dotted line 2' in FIG. 1, and cannot be inserted into the vehicle body.

If the headlamp is installed in the condition described above, it will be difficult to remove the bulb cover 1 of the headlamp, making it impossible to replace the bulb.When installing the headlamp, be careful not to get the knob 2 caught on the flange 6 of the headlamp mounting hole 5. However, since it is necessary to install the headlamp, there is a drawback that the installation work of the headlamp is complicated and time-consuming.

By adopting the configuration described in the claims for utility model registration, the present invention allows the knob attached to the bulb cover to reliably pass through the headlamp mounting hole, and furthermore, the headlamp installation work can be completed in a short time. I was able to obtain a valve cover that could achieve this.

2 and 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. Next, the present invention will be explained based on FIG. 2. A bulb cover 9 made of an elastic material such as rubber is fitted onto the outer periphery of the tip 8 of the lamp housing 7, and a knob 10 is formed to protrude rearward parallel to the axis of the bulb cover 9. 10, approximately in the center of the lower surface 11.
A rib 13 formed perpendicular to the surface of the knob 10 is attached between the upper outer surface 12 of the valve cover 9 and the upper outer surface 12 of the valve cover 9 .

The knob 10 and the rib 13 are made of an elastic material such as rubber and are integrally molded with the valve cover 9. A notch 15 is formed at the tip end edge 14 of the rib 13, and the knob 10 is made of an elastic material such as rubber. If the rib 13 is pulled in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2, the rib 13 can be easily torn off from the notch 15. In addition, the code 1 in Figure 2
6 is a headlamp mounting hole.

The present invention has the above structure, and when the headlamp is installed in the headlamp mounting hole 16, the knob 10 is fixed to the upper outer surface 12 of the bulb cover 9 by the rib 13, so that the headlamp can be installed easily. Since the headlamp can be attached to the headlamp attachment hole 16 without worrying about the knob 10, the attachment work is simple and can be done in a short time.

After installing the headlamp as described above, when removing the bulb cover 9 to replace the bulb,
Pull the knob 10 in the direction of the arrow in Figure 2 to remove the rib 1.
3 from the notch 15, the valve cover 9 can be easily removed by strongly pulling the knob 10 backward.

As described above, in this invention, since the knob attached to the bulb cover is fixed to the outer surface of the bulb cover by the rib, there is no need to worry about the knob at all when installing the headlamp. It can be installed in the mounting hole, and there is no risk of the knob getting caught in the headlamp mounting hole as in the conventional case, so the installation work can be completed in a short time, and the rib can be easily cut out when replacing the bulb. Therefore, the valve cover can be easily removed like a conventional knob.
