Abstract

PURPOSE:To aim at enhancing the external appearance of a lamp attaching structure in a vehicle bumper and at making the lens section of a lamp thin and lightweight, by fastening a pair of attaching pieces projected from the rear section of the lamp to a support section formed in the opening section of a bumper face 3 at the back surface side of the latter with the use of screws. CONSTITUTION:A front bumper is composed of a bumper reinforce 2 and a synthetic resin bumper face 3 covering the former, and lamp attaching openings 4, 5 are formed in the above-mentioned members 2, 3, respectively, being aligned with each other. In this arrangement, the peripheral edge of the opening section 4 is bent inward to form a lamp support section 6. A metal bracket 7 is secured to the front end section of a side wall outside of a vehicle, and the front end section is bent outward to form a lamp support section 9. Meanwhile, attaching pieces 15, 16 are projected from a lamp 11 at both sides of spherical sections 12 thereof. Further, the attaching pieces 15, 16 are attached to the lamp support sections 6, 9 by means of screws 18, 19, respectively.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lamp mounting structure for a combination lamp or the like which is mounted in a so-called embedded manner on a dual-use bumper having a synthetic resin bumper face.

Conventional Technique Example The combination lamps on both front sides of the EV are generally installed in a recessed manner in the lamp opening IBI7g provided in the front bumper. The front bumper has a synthetic resin bumper face that covers the pump reinforcement.In order to prevent lamp damage in the event of a light collision, the synthetic resin bumper face is designed to allow some deformation. I'm trying to support the lamp. Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, 7 lunges are formed at the back of the lamp rough space 0 [22 of the bumper face 21], and the combination lamp 24 is inserted from the front and installed by penetrating its periphery. It is fixed to the above-mentioned flange part with screw 25.
However, in the conventional lamp mounting structure as described above, the mounting screws 25 are exposed on the surface of the bumper face 21 o. This results in an extremely unsightly appearance.Furthermore, since the mounting heat passes through the periphery of the lens portion of the combination lamp 24, the lens portion cannot be made thinner, resulting in an increase in weight.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a core on both sides of the lamp opening of the bumper face made of synthetic resin, which extends to the back side of the bumper face and is inside each other. In addition to providing a lamp support portion that is inclined toward the direction, the lamp back 1Is
K. The above-mentioned lamp is characterized in that a pair of mounting pieces protruding along the lamp support part are inclined, and the mounting pieces are screwed and fixed to the lamp support part from the back side of the bumper face 11@. The mounting piece is inserted into the lamp opening of the bumper face from the back side of the bumper face or the front side of the bumper face, and the mounting piece is stacked on the lamp support part. The lamp is fixed to the bumper face and is supported by the bumper face. Figures 111 to 3 show an embodiment of this invention.
Figure 1 shows a cross section of the front bumper 1 shown in Figure 3 taken along line 1-1, and Figure 2 shows a cross section taken along line 2-n.

The front bumper 1 is made up of a bumper reinforcement 2 fixed to a single member (not shown) and a bumper face 3 molded from a synthetic resin such as urethane and disposed to cover the member reinforcement 2t. A rectangular lamp opening 4 is formed on the bumper face 3 at a position closer to the Imperial Ryobi section, and correspondingly, the bumper reinforcement 2 also has a lamp opening that also serves as a working hole. 5 is formed with an opening.

The lamp opening 4 of the bumper face 3 has a cylindrical shape with its periphery bent inward.

And the @ wall on the center side of the vehicle has a rough frontage of the lamp from the middle @

l & cll are long, and the tip III is further bent roughly toward the center of the lamp rough frontage part 4 to constitute one lamp support part 6, and the IQ walls immediately on both sides are on the back side of the bumper face 3. qs extended linearly to qs
Moreover, the metal bracket 7 is fixed with screws 8 via a retainer 10. The tip of this metal bracket 7

- constitutes. In other words, both lamp supports g6.9 are inclined toward each other inward 111. Furthermore, the reason why the lamp support part 9 is constructed from a separate metal bracket 7 as described above is due to the molding of the bumper face 3. However, the combination lamp 11 to be inserted into the lamp opening 4 is The lamp body 13 is made of synthetic resin or metal and has a spherical part 12f that forms a reflecting mirror surface of 11 m, and a lens [14] that covers the front surface of the lamp body 13. 13
．． 16 are provided protrudingly.◇These mounting pieces 15 and 16 are each inclined along the lamp support portion 6.9. The -10,000 mounting piece 15 is tightened and fixed from the back side of the bumper face 3 by a mounting screw 18 screwed onto the lamp support 1s6 via the retainer 17, and the other mounting piece 16ri
The combination lamp 11 is secured to the lamp support part 9 made of a metal bracket 7 from the back side of the bumper face 3 using mounting screws 19. To be more specific, first insert the center end portions of both ends diagonally to align the mounting piece 15 with the lamp support portion 6, and then push the outer end portions of the both ends forward.

Therefore, according to the above lamp mounting structure, the mounting screw 18
, 19 can be completely viewed from the outside of the bumper face 3, and the lens surface of the combination rung 11 can be enlarged to the full extent of the inner circumference of the lamp opening N4, so that the appearance is significantly improved. In addition, there are mounting screws 18, 1 on the lens part 14.
Since the tightening force of 9 is not applied, it is possible to make the wall thinner.

In addition, since the lamp support parts 6, 9, etc. are inclined inward, it is easy to tighten the mounting screws 18 and 19, and the lamp opening 5, which also serves as a work hole, is relatively small. That's it, Banpara Inforce 2
It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned combination lamp, but can be applied to various types of lamp installations. Further, the lamp support portion 6.9 and the mounting pieces 15, 16 may be provided on both the upper and lower sides.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above explanation, according to the vehicle bumper lamp mounting structure according to the present invention, it is possible to improve the appearance, and also to realize weight reduction by thinning the lens portion. There are no defects that would cause a strong drop in the strength of the bumper reinforcement, which would make installation work excessively difficult.
