Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a mounting device for an auxiliary lamp for an automobile.

Generally, when a car is driven in weather conditions such as fog or rain, or on a dusty road, auxiliary lamps such as fog lamps may be installed to illuminate the front of the car in addition to the head lamps, depending on the user's wishes. .

By the way, when the above-mentioned auxiliary lamp is attached to a car at the user's side or at a repair shop, the main optical axis must be directed downward to avoid dazzling oncoming vehicles. However, in reality, the auxiliary lamp mounting device is designed to be able to adjust the irradiation range of the auxiliary lamp, taking into account variations in vehicles and auxiliary lamps. The mounting bolt for the auxiliary lamp used in this conventional adjustment device is free to rotate, and therefore, when installing or adjusting the auxiliary lamp, the head of the bolt must be held down and the nut must be tightened.

The present invention aims to improve the conventional auxiliary lamp mounting device as described above.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention fixes an optical axis adjustment plate to the head of a bolt that attaches an auxiliary lamp to the attachment part of an arm fixed to the vehicle body, and attaches a part of the optical axis adjustment plate to the leg of the bolt. Two protruding pieces are provided that protrude in the direction of the fixing arm, and one of the protruding pieces comes into contact with the mounting part of the fixed arm to fix the bolt, and also attaches the fog lamp attached to the mounting part via the bolt. The portion abuts on the other of the projecting pieces to limit the upward angle of the fog lamp.

Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

Fig. 1 is a side view showing a fog lamp attached to a bracket using the bolt of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a front perspective view thereof, Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the structure of the bolt used in the present invention, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the structure of the bolt used in the present invention. The figure is A in Figure 2.
- It is a sectional view along the A line.

1 to 4, 1 is a bracket fixed to the vehicle body 10 with bolts 8 and nuts 9, 1a is a mounting portion provided at the tip of the bracket 1, and a bracket 3 provided above the rear of the fog lamp 2 is attached here. is attached as shown in FIG. 1, and the attachment portion 1a is formed so as not to dazzle oncoming vehicles in the attached state.

As shown in FIG. 3, the bolt 4 used for the mounting portion 1a has a flat optical axis adjustment plate 5 fixed to the head by a method such as welding. The optical axis adjusting plate 5 is provided with two protruding pieces 5a and 5b that protrude approximately parallel to the upper part of the bolt 4 in the direction of the leg portion 4a. Note that 6 is a locking washer used during installation, and 7 is its nut.

To attach the fog lamp 2, attach the mounting part 1
Align the hole in the bracket 3 of the fog lamp 2 with the hole a, insert the bolt 4 into the hole, pass the lock washer 6 through it, and tighten it with the nut 7 to fix it. At this time, the bolt 4 tries to rotate, but when the protruding piece 5a of the optical axis adjustment plate 5 comes into contact with the upper part of the mounting part 1a, it cannot rotate any more and is in a fixed state. You only need to tighten 7.
At this time, the upper part of the bracket 3 of the fog lamp 2 comes into contact with the protrusion 5b of the bolt 4, as shown in FIG. 2, and prevents it from moving upward any further. Further, the upper part of the bracket 3 is a protruding piece 5b.
It is also easy to fix the bracket 3 of the fog lamp 2 at any position within the range where it comes into contact with the bracket 3.

As described above, in the vehicle auxiliary lamp mounting device of the present invention, an optical axis adjustment plate having two protrusions substantially parallel to the legs is fixed to the head of the mounting bolt,
Since one of the projecting pieces comes into contact with a part of the mounting portion of the bracket fixed to the vehicle body and fixes the bolt, the auxiliary lamp can be easily mounted. Further, a part of the attached auxiliary lamp comes into contact with the other protrusion and regulates the upper part so that it does not point upward any further, so that it does not dazzle oncoming vehicles.
