Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a fog lamp for an automobile, and more specifically to an automobile fog lamp in which the optical axis of the lamp can be freely adjusted.

<Prior art> As shown in FIG. 5, a conventional fog lamp of this kind has a pivot 8 protruding from the rear side of the lamp body 1, and the lamp body 1 is attached to the vehicle body 2 so as to be able to swing freely, and the other lamp An aiming screw 5 is mounted across a bracket 3 of the main body 1 and a mounting bracket 4 fixed to the vehicle body 2 side, and a spring 9 is interposed so that the optical axis can be adjusted. This fog lamp has a lamp body of 1
Since it is supported only by two pivots and an aiming screw, the strength to support the lamp body is weak.
It has the drawback that the lamp body tends to fall off from the vehicle body due to vibrations, etc., and at the same time, it has the disadvantage that the number of parts is large and assembly is complicated.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> The present invention has been developed in view of the inconveniences and shortcomings of the conventional products. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an adjustable fog lamp for automobiles.

<Means for solving the problem> As a means for achieving the above object, the present invention includes a lamp body, a bracket fixed to the lamp body side, and a bracket fixed to the vehicle body side in correspondence with the lamp body. A mounting bracket, an aiming screw connected between the brackets and the mounting bracket, a mounting bolt for mounting the lamp body to the mounting bracket, and an elastic member interposed between the mounting bracket and the lamp body. It is characterized by being composed of.

<Function> The lamp body is supported by a mounting bolt and an aiming screw on a mounting bracket fixed to the vehicle body side, and the optical axis is adjusted by screwing the aiming screw between the mounting bracket and the lamp body. This is done by plastically deforming an elastic member interposed therebetween.

<Example> Hereinafter, an example of implementing the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is the lamp body, and two mounting bolts 6 and 1 are attached to the mounting bracket 4 fixed to the vehicle body 2 side.
Supported by the book Aiming Scroll 5. This lamp body 1 has an aiming screw 5.
Fix the bracket 3 for connecting the parts.

The bracket 3 is fixed to the back or side surface of the lower corner of the lamp body 1 with screws 10, and has an engaging portion 3a at its tip for connecting the aiming screw 5. The aiming screw 5 is connected and attached across the joint 3a and the self-locking nut 11 attached to the mounting bracket 4.

The mounting bracket 4 is fixed to the vehicle body 2 side with bolts 12, and a mounting bolt 6 that supports the lamp body 1 is inserted through the mounting bracket 4, and a support arm 4a is formed protruding from the same body so as to correspond to the bracket 3. Attach the self-locking nut 11 to the support arm 4a.

The aiming screw 5 is freely threadably linked and attached between the engaging portion 3a of the bracket 3 and the self-locking nut 11 attached to the support arm 4a of the mounting bracket 4, and the optical axis adjustment operation using the aiming screw 5 The elastic member 7 interposed between the mounting bracket 4 and the lamp body 1 is plastically deformed.

The elastic member 7 is made of an elastic material such as a rubber material or a resin material, and is formed into a substantially donut shape with a substantially square or circular cross section, and is attached to the lamp body so as to surround the mounting bolt 6 that supports the lamp body 1. 1 and the mounting bolt 6.

Next, to explain the assembly order, first fix the bracket 3 to the lamp body 1, attach the elastic member 7 to the mounting bolt 6 inserted through the mounting bracket 4, and then tighten the mounting bracket 4 with the mounting bolt 6. It is fixed to the main body 1, and then the aiming screw 5 is connected across the bracket 3 and the mounting bracket 4 to complete the assembly. This fog lamp is fixed to the vehicle body 2 via a mounting bracket 4, and then the aiming screw 5 is screwed to adjust the optical axis of the lamp body 1. In the case of the illustrated embodiment, it is easy to understand that the optical axis of the lamp body 1 can be adjusted in the vertical direction, and that it is easy to change the design so that it can be adjusted in the horizontal direction. Probably.

<Effects> Since the automobile fog lamp of the present invention is constructed in this manner, the lamp body can be smoothly mounted by simply screwing the aiming screw due to the presence of the elastic member interposed between the lamp body and the mounting bracket. The optical axis can be adjusted, so there is no need to install a spring between the bracket on the lamp body side and the mounting bracket on the vehicle body side, as with conventional products, and there is no need for a pivot to connect the lamp body and the mounting bracket on the vehicle body side. Therefore, reliable optical axis adjustment can be performed with fewer parts.

Moreover, since the lamp body is fixedly supported by the mounting bracket with the mounting bolt, there is no fear that the lamp body will fall off due to vibrations or the like.

Therefore, the intended purpose can be achieved.
