Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a taillight for an automobile, which is disposed at the rear of an automobile.

Conventionally, automobile taillights have been disposed at the rear of automobiles, but these taillights only illuminate the rear of the automobile. On the other hand, lamps for illuminating the rear luggage compartment of an automobile are provided at appropriate locations within the luggage compartment.

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention researched ways to make automobile taillights more versatile, and as a result, came up with the present invention. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automobile taillight that can

Therefore, in the taillight of the present invention, a taillamp housing with a light reflecting surface inside is disposed at the rear of the automobile so that the upper surface of the lens is exposed when the trunk lid is opened, and the taillamp housing has a light reflecting surface inside. A small lamp is provided inside the trunk lid at a portion opposite to the tail lamp housing so that its lower surface serves as a light projection surface, and the light rays from the small lamp reach a light reflecting surface inside the tail lamp housing and are reflected. Characterized by what has been done.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a tail lamp housing, and when the trunk lid 2 is opened, the upper surface 3 of the lens is exposed. A small lamp 4 is provided on the inner facing portion 2a of the trunk lid 2 above the lens top surface 3. small lamp 4
The lower surface is a light projection surface so that light can be emitted downward. The lens upper surface 3 of the tail lamp housing 1 is made of a transparent material such as transparent glass or transparent plastic, and the light from the small lamp 4 passes through this lens upper surface 3 and enters the tail lamp housing 1. ing.

As shown in FIG. 2, the small lamp 4 has a small light bulb 6 of about 10W to 20W housed in a small lamp housing 5 attached to the inside of the trunk lid 2, and this is sealed with a transparent bottom cover 7. be. The inner wall surface of the small lamp housing 5 is given a light reflecting function by being plated with silver or the like. Further, it is preferable that the direction of the small light bulb 6 can be adjusted by appropriate means, so that the direction of light traveling from the small light bulb 6 can be changed arbitrarily.

Therefore, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, when the small lamp 4 is turned on with the trunk lid 2 closed, light is emitted downward from the small lamp 4, and the light is directed toward the tail lamp housing. 1 lens top surface 3
The light reaches the internal light reflecting surface 8 as indicated by the arrow and is reflected backward. Therefore, the tail lamp housing 1 appears to shine as a whole. Furthermore, if the small lamp 4 is turned on with the trunk lid 2 open as shown in Fig. 1, the light from the small lamp 4 will directly illuminate the rear luggage compartment, as shown by the arrow in Fig. 4. Can be illuminated. This makes it convenient for loading and unloading luggage in dark places at night.

As mentioned above, according to the present invention, since the small lamp is provided inside the trunk lid, it can not only illuminate the rear of the automobile and function as a tail lamp, but also illuminate the rear luggage compartment. Furthermore, since there is no need to provide a small lamp inside the tail lamp housing as in conventional tail lights, the internal structure can be simplified. In addition, not only small lamps but also other lamps (turn signals, brake lamps) may be placed inside the trunk lid in the same way.In this case, the protrusion of the tail lamp housing in the rear luggage compartment can be reduced in design. This has the advantage of having a top cover, and in addition, by providing a switch that is linked to the opening and closing of the trunk lid so that all the lamps come on at the same time as the trunk lid is opened, extremely powerful luggage compartment illumination can be obtained.
