Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a vehicular lamp, and more particularly to a connection structure for a rim provided around a connection portion between a lamp housing and a lens leg of a combination lamp or the like.

Conventionally, this type of connection structure is shown in Figures 1 to 3.
There is something like the one shown in the figure. That is, FIG. 1 is a front view of the rear combination lamp, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line A--A in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view taken along the line B--B in FIG.

In FIGS. 1 to 3, 1 is a lamp housing, 2 is a lens, 2a is a lens leg, and 3 surrounds the outer periphery of the lamp housing 1 and lens leg 2a, and connects them into one body. It's the rim.

As shown in a partially enlarged sectional view in FIG. 3, the lamp housing 1 has a groove 1a on its outer periphery, and an engaging portion 1b is provided on the outside of the groove 1a. On the other hand, the lens 2 has a stepped portion 2b and an insertion portion 2 on the leg portion 2a.
It forms c. These lamp housings 1
To connect the lens 2 and the groove 1a of the lamp housing, fill the concave groove 1a of the lamp housing with adhesive 4, insert the insertion part 2c of the lens leg part into it, and fix it. Engagement part 1 of lamp housing
A rim 3 is engaged between the outer side of b and the outer side to decorate the outer side and connect the two together.

In such a conventional structure in which the lens leg portion 2a and the concave groove 1a of the lamp housing 1 are connected using the rim 3, as shown in FIG.
If the rim 3 that decorates the outer periphery of the leg 2a and connects the two is wide and has an appropriate length, the rigidity will be appropriate and there will be no problem, but if the rim 3 is narrow, In addition, if the length becomes long, the rigidity may be insufficient and the entire rim 3 may swell outward, which may cause the rim 3 to come off from the engaging portion 1b of the lamp housing, as shown in FIG. There is a possibility that the decoration and connection of the outer periphery between the portion 2a and the groove 1a of the lamp housing 1 will not be satisfactory.

The present invention aims to improve the structure of the connection part where the lens and lamp housing are connected using the rim in the conventional rear combination lamps, etc., as described above, by providing a plurality of vertical walls around the outer periphery of the lens leg. A gap in which the rim can be inserted is formed between the vertical wall and the lens leg, and the rim is engaged with the gap and the engaging portion of the lamp housing to supplement the lack of rigidity of the rim and cause the rim to protrude outward. It was designed to prevent them from getting it.

Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7.

FIG. 5 is a front view of a rear combination lamp to which the present invention is applied, FIG. 6 is an enlarged sectional view taken along the line CC in FIG. 5, and FIG. 7 is a partial perspective view of the lens.

In FIGS. 5 to 7, the same parts as in FIGS. 1 to 4 explaining the conventional example are given the same reference numerals to avoid duplication of explanation. That is, 1 is a lamp housing, 2 is a lens, 3 is a rim, and 4 is an adhesive.

As shown in Fig. 7, the lens 2 has a leg 2a on its periphery, and a step 2b and an insertion part 2c are integrally formed with the leg 2a. The present invention is characterized in that the step 2b has a plurality of standing walls 2d at its end periphery, which rise in the opposite direction to the insertion part 2c, and a gap 2e is formed between the leg 2a and the step 2b, into which the rim 3 can be inserted.

The lens 2, which is provided with standing walls 2d at multiple locations on the outer periphery of the lens leg 2a, is manufactured by filling the groove 1a on the outer periphery of the lamp housing with the adhesive 4 and then inserting the insertion portion 2c into the groove 1a, as in the conventional method. and fix it as shown in FIG. Then, the upper part of the rim 3 is inserted into the gap 2e, and the lower part is engaged with the engaging part 1b of the lamp housing, thereby reinforcing the connection between the lens 2 and the lamp housing 1 and decorating the outside.

As described above, in the vehicle lamp of the present invention, the rim 3, which covers the connecting part that connects the lamp housing and the lens of the rear combination lamp, is provided on the engaging part 1b of the lamp housing and the lens leg. Since the rim is engaged in the gap 2e between the plurality of vertical walls 2d, even if the width of the rim becomes narrower and the length becomes longer, resulting in insufficient rigidity, the vertical wall 2d will not extend outwardly from the rim. Since it is supported, it does not bulge outward. In addition, since the vertical wall 2d is integrally molded with the lens, it does not require any particular cost, and since a conventional rim can be used, there is no increase in cost, and it also strengthens the connection between the lens and the lamp housing. At the same time, the connecting portion can be reliably covered.
