Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement in the mounting structure of a socket holder for a vehicle lamp.

As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional socket holder mounting structure is such that a socket holder a is placed on a pair of support protrusions b and b' protruding from a housing (not shown), and each support protrusion b and b The socket holder a is mounted on the support protrusions b and b' by tightening screws c and c into the screw holes provided in the sockets . but,
Since the conventional example shown in FIG. 1 uses two screws c, the screws must be tightened twice, which poses a problem in that the tightening operation is time-consuming.

For this reason, as shown in FIG.
A pin part d is integrally formed on one of the support protrusions b of b', and a socket holder a through which the pin part d is inserted is placed on both support protrusions b and b',
It has been proposed that the socket holder a is fastened to one of the support protrusions b' with a single screw c, thereby reducing the number of screw tightening steps. However, in the conventional example shown in Fig. 2, since the pin part d is simply passed through the socket holder a, there is a problem in that the socket holder a shakes in the vertical direction when vibrations occur in the lamp. .

The present invention improves the conventional problems as described above,
To provide a socket holder mounting structure that allows the socket holder to be easily mounted and prevents the socket holder from wobbling after mounting.

Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6. 3 to 6 show an embodiment in which the socket holder mounting structure according to the present invention is applied to an automobile lamp.

The mounting structure of the socket holder according to this invention is as follows:
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the socket holder 1 is placed on a pair of support protrusions 21 and 22 protruding from the housing 2.
An engaging protrusion 23 formed in the socket holder is engaged with a cutout 11 formed in the socket holder, and the socket holder 1 is fixed to one of the supporting protrusions 21 with a screw 3.

In more detail, socket holder 1
As shown in FIG. 6, the socket mounting plate 1a
and the mounting plate 1b to form an L-shape,
The socket 4 can be fitted and fixed into the hole 1c provided in the socket mounting plate 1a. A screw insertion hole 12 is provided at one end of the mounting plate 1b, and a cutout 11 is formed at the other end. The cutout portion 11 includes a hole 11a and a protruding piece 11b protruding into the hole 11a.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the housing 2 has a pair of supporting protrusions 21 and 22 protruding from its bottom wall so that the socket holder 1 can be placed thereon. A screw hole 21a is provided at the tip of one of the support protrusions 21, into which a screw 3 for fixing the socket holder 1 is screwed. This support protrusion 21
has the same height as the support protrusion 22, but is formed thicker than the support protrusion 22. Then, the cutout 1 of the socket holder 1 is inserted into the housing 2.
An engaging protrusion 23 that can be engaged with 1 is formed. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the engagement protrusion 23 includes an upright portion 23a formed upright at a position corresponding to the cutout portion 11 of the housing 2, and the upright portion 23a.
It consists of a claw part 23b protruding from the tip of a. This engagement protrusion 23 is connected to the support protrusions 21 and 2.
When the mounting plate of the socket holder 1 is placed on the socket holder 2, the claw portion 23b passes through the hole 11a of the cutout portion 11 and is caught on the protruding piece 11b by elastic restoring force, so that the claw portion 23b is attached to the cutout portion 11. It is designed so that it can be engaged. In addition, in FIG. 3, 5 is a lens.

The mounting structure of the socket holder according to this invention is as follows:
Since the structure is as described above, in order to install the socket holder 1, the cutout 1 of the socket holder must be opened.
1 is aligned with the engagement protrusion 23 of the housing 2, and in this state, when the socket holder 1 is pressed against the support protrusions 21 and 22, the socket holder 1
are placed on the support protrusions 21 and 22, and
The protruding piece 11b of the cutout part 11 and the claw part 23b of the engagement protrusion 23 engage with each other. Next, the screw insertion hole 12 of the socket holder 1 and the screw hole 21 of the support protrusion 21 are inserted.
Insert the screw 3 into the hole a and tighten the screw 3 to fix the socket holder 1 to the support protrusion 21.

In this way, in the present invention, the engagement protrusion 23
Since the socket holder 1 is fixed on the support protrusions 21 and 22 by the engagement of the claw part 23b with the protruding piece 11b of the cutout part 11 and the tightening of the screw 3, even if vibration occurs in the lamp, The socket holder 1 will not shift or wobble in the vertical or lateral directions. Moreover, since the installation process is only by pressing the socket holder and tightening one screw, the socket holder installation work can be carried out easily and quickly.

As described above, the present invention has the effect of improving the ease of mounting the socket holder and preventing the socket holder from wobbling after mounting.
