Description

Saddle type vehicle

The present invention relates to a saddle type vehicle such as a locomotive, and more particularly to an arrangement structure of a directional lamp and a taillight after a saddle type vehicle.

Conventionally, a so-called rear combination lamp in which a tail lamp is integrally formed with a right and left rear direction lamp is known (for example, see Patent Document 1). In the rear combination lamp, the tail light and the rear direction light (hereinafter collectively referred to as the vehicle light) are continuously arranged to be integrated. Therefore, in a vehicle including a rear combination lamp, it is necessary to improve the visibility of the lamp while improving the designability, and to reduce the size of the tail portion. Moreover, the visibility of the vehicle lamp refers to the degree to which the person who visually views the vehicle (for example, a driver such as a pedestrian or another locomotive, a driver of a car, etc.) can easily see the lamp.

As shown in FIG. 15 to FIG. 17, it is known that the tail light 101 is separated from the rear direction light 102, and the vehicle is separated by the partition portion 103a of the cover 103 (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1). Further, the symbols 101a and 102a (the cross-hatched portions in FIGS. 15 to 17) are the lenses of the tail light 101 and the rear direction light 102, respectively. The taillights 101 and the rear directional lights 102 of such vehicles are more excellent in visibility. However, in such a vehicle, the distance between the left and right rear direction lights 102 becomes long, so that the tail portion of the vehicle tends to become bulky.

In recent years, in the saddle type vehicle, it is expected that the miniaturization of the tail portion and the improvement of the visibility of the rear lamp can be achieved with a high standard. The object of the present invention is to achieve both the miniaturization of the tail portion and the improvement of the visibility of the rear lamp by the height standard.

The saddle type vehicle of the present invention includes a tail light having a lens, a left and right rear direction light having a lens, and a cover having a partition between the tail light and each of the rear direction lights; the rear direction light in a plan view, The partition portion and the outline of the tail light are formed in a substantially V shape, and the rear end portion of each of the rear direction lamps is located rearward of a front end portion of the lens of the tail light, and at least a part of the lens of each of the rear direction lights is located It is lower than the upper end of the lens of the tail light and above the lower end of the lens of the tail light.

Further, in the present specification, the front end portion of the lens means a portion located on the foremost side of the portion of the lens. For example, when the lens has a shape in which the front end is contracted forward, the protruding end of the front end contraction shape is used as the front end portion of the lens. From the surface, when the front side of the lens is formed by a linear side extending in a direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction, the side is used as the front end of the lens. Similarly, the rear end portion, the upper end portion, and the lower end portion of the lens refer to portions on the rear side, the upper side, and the lower side of the lens, respectively. Further, the inner end portion and the outer end portion of the lens mean a portion located on the innermost side and the outer side of the lens, respectively.

According to the saddle type vehicle described above, since the outline of the direction lamp, the partition portion, and the tail light form a substantially V shape after the plan view, the width of the tail portion of the vehicle changes. Short, you can seek to miniaturize the tail. On the other hand, the rear end of each rear direction lamp is located rearward of the front end of the lens of the tail light, and at least a part of the lens of each rear direction light is located below the upper end of the lens of the tail light and is smaller than the lens of the tail light. The lower end portion is further above, so that each of the rear direction lights and the tail lights overlap at least partially in the front-rear direction and the up-and-down direction. Therefore, according to the saddle type vehicle described above, the area of the tail light or the rear direction light becomes large, so that the size of the tail light or the rear direction light becomes large even if the tail portion becomes small, so that the visibility can be improved. Therefore, the miniaturization of the tail portion and the improvement of the visibility of the rear lamp can be achieved with a high standard.

Another vehicle of the present invention includes a tail light having a lens, a left and right rear direction light having a lens, and a cover having a partition between the tail light and each of the rear light; the rear direction light in a plan view, the foregoing The partition portion and the outline of the tail light are formed in a substantially V shape, and the inner end portion of each of the rear direction lamps is located on the inner side of the outer end portion of the tail light, and at least a part of the lens of each of the rear direction lights is viewed from the rear. It is located below the upper end of the lens of the taillight and above the lower end of the lens of the taillight.

According to the above vehicle, since the inner end of each rear directional lamp is located further inside than the outer end of the tail light, at least a part of the lens of each rear directional lamp is located at the upper end of the lens of the tail light. Below and above the lower end of the lens of the taillight, each of the rear direction lights and the taillights at least partially overlap in the left and right direction and the up and down direction. Therefore, although the tail portion becomes small, the area of the tail light or the rear direction lamp becomes large, so that the visibility can be improved. Therefore, according to the saddle type vehicle described above, the height can be balanced with the tail. The miniaturization and the recognition of the rear lights are improved.

[Technical effect]

As described above, according to the present invention, the miniaturization of the tail portion of the vehicle and the improvement of the visibility of the rear lamp can be achieved with a high standard.

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

(first embodiment)

As shown in FIG. 1, the saddle type vehicle of the implementation type is a so-called speed locomotive type locomotive 11. However, the saddle type vehicle of the present invention is not limited to the Scooter type locomotive, and may be other types of locomotives. In addition to the Speed Keda locomotive, the "locomotive" also includes a power two-wheeled vehicle. Further, the saddle type vehicle of the present invention is not limited to the locomotive. ATV (All-terrain vehicles), snowmobiles, etc. are also included in the saddle type vehicle.

The locomotive 11 includes a vehicle body 12, a front wheel 13 provided on the front side of the vehicle body 12, and a rear wheel 14 provided on the rear side of the vehicle body 12. A seat cushion 15 is provided from a central portion to a rear portion of the vehicle body 12. A fender 16 is provided on the upper side of the rear side of the rear wheel 14.

A fuel tank or the like (not shown) is disposed below the seat cushion 15, and a cover 2 is provided around the fuel tank or the like. The cover 2 is disposed from the rear of the vehicle body 12 to the left and right sides. The cover 2 covers the last end and the side of the vehicle body 12, so that it can function not only as a so-called tail cover but also as a side cover. In the present embodiment, the cover 2 is formed by dividing the left and right ones into the cover member. However, the cover 2 may be a single body or may be composed of three or more members. However, in the following description, the front side and the rear side of the vehicle are only referred to as the front side and the rear side, and are seated on the seat cushion 15 The right side and the left side of the passenger's direction are only referred to as the right side and the left side.

As shown in Fig. 2, the outline of the cover 2 is formed in a substantially elliptical shape when viewed from above. On the rear side of the cover 2, a notch portion 20 for sandwiching the tail light 5 is provided. The notch portion 20 is formed in a substantially V shape that expands rearward in a plan view. On the rear side of the both side portions of the cover 2, directional lamp arrangement holes 4 for inserting the direction lamps 3 are formed, respectively. As shown in FIG. 3, the directional lamp arrangement hole 4 is formed in a substantially triangular shape as viewed from the side. A partition 2a of the cover 2 is provided between the notch portion 20 and the directional lamp arrangement hole 4. The directional light arrangement hole 4 is formed on the way of the substantially V-shaped cover 2. Specifically, the directional lamp arrangement hole 4 is formed on the smooth surface of the cover 2 (the surface having no step other than the ridge lines 21, 23, and 24 to be described later) (see FIG. 2). Thereby, the sense of the direction of the directional light 3 and the cover 2 can be improved.

As shown in Fig. 3, the cover 2 is viewed from the side and extends obliquely upward rearward. The cover 2 has a ridge line 21 extending in the direction in which the cover 2 extends, that is, obliquely upward and rearward. The ridge line 21 is a linear portion in which one part of the cover 2 is curved toward the front side, and the "ridge line" is of course a portion which is curved toward the front side and is convex, but also has a portion bent at a steep angle. Therefore, even if it is a curved portion, as long as it can be recognized as a linear shape, that is, it conforms to the "ridge line" referred to in this patent specification, the ridge lines 22 to 26 described below are also the same.

As shown in FIG. 3, the directional light 3 is embedded in the directional lamp arrangement hole 4. The directional light 3 has a light source 3a and a transparent lens 3b covering the light source 3a. Further, the type of the light source 3a is not limited. The lens 3b may be colorless and transparent, or may be colored and transparent, and the lens 3b may be opaque as long as sufficient visibility is ensured.

As shown in FIG. 3, the lens 3b is formed in a substantially triangular shape which is expanded rearward by the front end portion 3e as viewed from the side. Therefore, the lens 3b can be small on one side Appearance, one side has sufficient surface area. The lens 3b is a so-called horizontally long lens, and the length of the lens 3b in the lateral direction (substantially horizontal direction) is longer than the length of the longitudinal direction (substantially perpendicular direction). Moreover, the length of the lens 3b in the lateral direction is longer than the longitudinal direction when viewed from the side, not only when viewed from the side. Since the lens 3b is disposed along the lid 2, the entire surface thereof can be miniaturized and the surface area thereof can be increased. The rear side 3f of the lens 3b is inclined obliquely upward. Further, the symbol 3d is the rear end portion of the lens 3b. As shown in Fig. 4, the rear end portion 3d is located at the innermost side of the lens 3b as viewed from the rear. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the rear end portion 3d also corresponds to the inner end portion of the lens 3b.

As shown in FIG. 3, the lens 3b has a ridgeline 22 extending obliquely upward and rearward, and a ridgeline 26 extending downward from the middle of the ridgeline 22. In other words, the lens 3b has a ridge line 22 extending in the substantially front-rear direction and a ridge line 26 extending in the substantially vertical direction. The ridgeline 22 is located on an extension of the ridgeline 21 of the cover 2 and is substantially continuous with the ridgeline 21. Further, the ridge lines 22 and 26 may extend in a straight line or may extend into a curved line (including a curved line and a meander line).

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the lens 3b protrudes more from the front side than the cover 2, and the angle of inclination of the lens 3b in the left-right direction of the rear end portion 3d is larger than the inclination angle of the cover 2. In particular, since the lens 3b has the ridge line 26 extending in the substantially vertical direction, it protrudes outward in a plan view and forms a distinct shape. As shown in FIG. 2, the lens 3b is formed in a substantially triangular shape in plan view. Further, since the lens 3b has the ridge line 22 extending in the substantially front-rear direction, it protrudes outward from the rear view and forms a distinct shape. Therefore, the visibility of the directional light 3 can be improved.

As shown in Fig. 3, the partition portion 2a of the cover 2 is formed in a strip shape substantially parallel to the rear side 3f of the lens 3b, and is viewed from the side as being inclined in the vertical direction. extend. The width of the partition portion 2a, that is, the length in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the partition portion 2a is substantially constant in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the directional light 3 and the tail light 5 are separated at substantially constant intervals. The partition portion 2a has a ridge line 23, 24 extending obliquely upward and rearward as viewed from the side. The ridge line 23 is continuous with the ridge line 22 of the direction lamp 3, and the ridge line 24 is continuous with the ridge line 23.

The tail light 5 has a light source (not shown) and a lens 5b that covers the light source. The lens 5b can be transparent or opaque. The lens 5b has a ridge line 25 extending obliquely upward and rearward as viewed from the side, and the ridge line 25 is continuous with the ridge line 24 of the partition portion 2a. The lens 5b of the tail light 5 is divided into an upper portion and a lower portion by a ridge line 25, and a surface 5a inclined rearward and upward is formed on the lower side of the ridge line 25, and a surface inclined rearward and downward is formed on the upper side of the ridge line 25. As shown in Fig. 2, in a plan view, the tail light 5 has a contour that is curved rearward to be convex. Here, the aforementioned ridge line 25 forms the above contour. As shown in Fig. 4, the tail light 5 is formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape from the rear, and its upper side (i.e., the ridge line 25) and the lower side are curved upward to be convex.

As shown in Fig. 2, in the plan view, the left and right direction lamps 3, the partition portion 2a and the outline of the tail light 5 are formed in a substantially V shape. Here, the angle of the angle A formed by the tangent lines B of the front ends of the two partition portions 2a is preferably 40 to 140 degrees. The tail light 5 is disposed on the inner side of the two tangent lines B described above. Further, the ratio L1/L2 of the distance L1 between the end portions of the two-directional lamp 3 in the vehicle width direction (the upper and lower directions in FIG. 2) and the distance L2 between the rear end portions of the two-directional lamp 3 is 1.5 or more. should.

As shown in Fig. 3, the end portion 3d of the lens 3b of each of the directional lamps 3 is located further rearward than the end portion 5d of the lens 5b of the tail lamp 5. Further, as shown in Fig. 4, since the distal end portion 5d is located at the outermost side of the lens 5b as viewed from the rear, the distal end portion 5d also corresponds to the outer end portion of the lens 5b.

As shown in FIG. 3, the lens 3b of each of the directional lamps 3 is located below the upper end portion 5c of the lens 5b of the tail lamp 5 and above the lower end portion 5e. That is, the lens 3b and the lens 5b are at least partially overlapped in the front-rear direction and the vertical direction.

As shown in Fig. 4, the inner end portion 3d of the lens 3b of each of the direction lamps 3 is located further inside than the outer end portion 5d of the lens 5b of the tail lamp 5 as seen from the rear. In detail, the inner end portion 3d of the lens 3b on the right side is located on the left side of the outer end portion 5d of the lens 5b, and the inner end portion 3d of the lens 3b on the left side is located on the right side of the outer end portion 5d of the lens 5b.

As described above, the ridge line 21 of the cover 2, the ridge line 22 of the lens 3b of the directional lamp 3, the ridge lines 23 and 24 of the partition 2a, and the ridge line 25 of the lens 5b of the tail light 5 are substantially continuous, viewed from the side, and inclined backward Extend above. Therefore, these ridge lines 21 to 25 do not overlap each other as seen from the rear (see Fig. 4). Therefore, these ridge lines 21 to 25 are easily recognized by the rear. Further, the lens 3b of the directional light 3 is disposed at a position that does not overlap the ridge lines 23, 24 of the partition portion 2a as viewed from the rear. The light source 3a of the directional light 3 also does not overlap the ridge lines 23, 24.

Next, the mounting structure of the directional lamp 3 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the mirror 3c of the directional lamp 3 is formed with a fastening portion 31 that is fastened to the peripheral edge portion of the lens 3b. After being fixed to the engaging portion 31, the lens 3b is integrated with the mirror 3c and the light source 3a (not shown in FIGS. 5 and 6), and is fitted into the directional lamp arranging hole 4 of the cover 2 from the back side to the front side. The mirror 3c is provided with a mounting seat 32 for forming a screw hole, and a mounting seat 33 for forming a screw hole is also provided inside the cover 2. After the directional light 3 is fitted into the directional lamp arrangement hole 4, the mount 32 and the mount 33 are fixed by screws 34. Thereby, the directional light 3 is fixed to the cover 2.

The above is the assembly structure 1 of the directional lamp 3 and the taillight 5 of the first embodiment.

As described above, according to the locomotive 11, the outline of the directional lamp 3, the partition 2a, and the taillight 5 is formed in a substantially V shape in plan view (see FIG. 2), so that the width of the tail portion is shortened, and the tail portion can be miniaturized.

On the other hand, the end portion 3d of the lens 3b of the directional lamp 3 is located rearward of the end portion 5d before the lens 5b of the tail lamp 5, and the lens 3b is located below the upper end portion 5c of the lens 5b and above the lower end portion 5e. Therefore, the area of the direction light 3 and the tail light 5 becomes large. Further, since the inner end portion 3d of the lens 3b is located further inside than the outer end portion 5d of the lens 5b, the area of the direction lamp 3 and the tail light 5 can be further increased.

Therefore, although the width of the tail portion is shortened, since the area of the direction lamp 3 and the tail light 5 is increased, the visibility of the rear lamp (i.e., the direction lamp 3 and the tail lamp 5) can be improved. Therefore, it is possible to achieve both the miniaturization of the tail and the improvement of the visibility of the backlight after a high standard. Further, it is possible to streamline the tail portion and secure a sense of the direction of the directional light 3 and the tail light 5.

The lens 3b of the directional light 3 has convex ridge lines 22, 26 toward the front side. In general, the ridge line portion is conspicuous, and can be easily recognized even from a distance. Therefore, the locomotive 11 can further improve the visibility. Further, since the ridge lines 22 and 26 are only one part of the directional light 3, the visibility can be improved even if the entire directional light 3 is increased. Therefore, it is possible to improve the visibility while pursuing the miniaturization of the vehicle.

Further, the partition portion 2a of the cover 2 also has convex ridge lines 23, 24 toward the front side. Therefore, the partition portion 2a has a concavo-convex shape, and the rigidity of the partition portion 2a can be improved. Therefore, the width of the partition portion 2a can be reduced, and the tail portion can be further miniaturized.

Further, in the locomotive 11, the ridge line 22 of the lens 3b of the directional lamp 3 does not overlap the ridge lines 23, 24 of the partition portion 2a as viewed from the rear. Therefore, the direction lamp 3 can be easily recognized without being hindered by the partition portion 2a. Thereby, the visibility of the directional light 3 can be further improved.

Further, the light source 3a of the directional light 3 is disposed at a position that is not overlapped with the ridgelines 23, 24 of the partition portion 2a as viewed from the rear. Therefore, the direction lamp 3 can be easily recognized without being hindered by the partition portion 2a. Thereby, the visibility of the directional light 3 can be further improved.

Further, according to the locomotive 11, the lens 5b of the tail light 5, the partition 2a, and the lens 3b of the directional light 3 have ridge lines 22 to 25 extending in the substantially front-rear direction and continuing to each other. Therefore, it is possible to improve the sense of body of the tail light 5, the cover 2, and the directional light 3.

In the present embodiment, since the lens 3b of the directional lamp 3 is transparent, the flicker of the directional lamp 3 can be clearly and clearly recognized, and the directional lamp 3 can provide an impression of impact, so that the design can be improved.

A rear surface 5a inclined rearward is formed at a rear portion of the lens 5b of the tail light 5. Thus, since the rear portion of the lens 5b has an inclined surface, the surface area of the lens 5b can be increased as compared with the case where the vertical surface is formed, so that the visibility of the tail light 5 can be further improved.

According to the locomotive 11, since the partition portion 2a is provided between the tail light 5 and the directional light 3, the visibility of the tail light 5 and the directional light 3 can be further improved. Further, since the width of the partition portion 2a is substantially constant in the longitudinal direction of the partition portion 2a, the tail light 5 and the direction light 3 are separated by a substantially constant width, and the signals can be more clearly and easily distinguished, and further Improve the visibility of the taillight 5 and the directional light 3.

Further, since the width of the partition portion 2a is substantially constant, the tail light 5 and the direction light 3 can be arranged closer to each other in the entire longitudinal direction of the partition portion 2a, and the lens 5b of the tail light 5 can be sufficiently ensured. The area of the lens 3b of the directional light 3 is miniaturized on the one side.

Further, the partition portion 2a is viewed from the side and extends obliquely upward. That is, the partition portion 2a extends in the oblique direction from the vertical direction as viewed from the side. Therefore, the direction light 3 and the tail light 5 sandwich the partition portion 2a and the opposite sides thereof are inclined forward and downward. Therefore, the length of the sides can be lengthened, and the visibility of the tail light 5 and the directional light 3 can be further improved.

Further, according to the locomotive 11, the lens 3b of the directional light 3 protrudes toward the front side, so that the shape is easily recognized and the area can be increased. Therefore, the visibility of the directional light 3 can be further improved.

Further, since the lens 3b of the directional lamp 3 protrudes more toward the front side than the cover 2, the visibility of the directional light 3 can be further improved. Further, since the lens 3b of the directional lamp 3 protrudes outward in the left-right direction from the cover 2 in plan view, even if the surface area of the lens 3b of the directional lamp 3 is increased, the bulging degree of the cover 2 in the left-right direction is small. The tail portion of the locomotive 11 can be further miniaturized.

Further, since the directional light 3 is formed in a substantially triangular shape in a plan view and has a shape that is easy to recognize, the visibility of the directional light 3 can be improved not only from the viewpoint of arrangement but also from the viewpoint of shape.

In the locomotive 11, the angle A formed by the tangent lines B of the front ends of the two partition portions 2a in the plan view is 40 to 140 degrees. Therefore, the width of the tail portion can be suppressed, and the visibility can be improved, and the tail portion can be miniaturized.

In addition, in the plan view, the tail light 5 is disposed on the inner side of the two tangent lines B, so Further, the tail is miniaturized.

Further, in the locomotive 11, the ratio L1/L2 of the distance L1 between the end portions of the two-directional lamp 3 in the vehicle width direction and the distance L2 from the rear end portion of the two-directional lamp 3 is 1.5 or more. Therefore, the visibility of the directional light 3 can be improved, and the tail portion can be miniaturized.

(Second embodiment)

Next, a saddle type vehicle of the second embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 7 and 8 . This embodiment is a modification of the tail portion of the locomotive 11 of the first embodiment. The parts corresponding to the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment.

In the second embodiment, the tail light 5 and the direction light 3 are also separated by the partition portion 2a of the cover. As shown in Fig. 7, the direction of the direction lamp 3, the partition portion 2a, and the tail light 5 in a plan view is substantially V-shaped.

As shown in Fig. 8, the end portion 3d of the lens 3b of each of the directional lamps 3 is located rearward of the front end portion 5d of the lens 5b of the tail lamp 5. Further, in the present embodiment, the front end portion 5d of the lens 5b is also the lower end portion of the lens 5b. In the present embodiment, the lens 3b is located below the upper end portion 5c of the lens 5b and above the lower end portion 5d. Moreover, the inner end portion (=rear end portion 3d) of the lens 3b of each of the directional lamps 3 is located further inside than the outer end portion (= front end portion 5d) of the lens 5b of the tail lamp 5 as seen from the rear.

As shown in Fig. 8, the cover 2, the lens 3b of the directional lamp 3, the cover 2 partition 2a, and the lens 5b of the tail lamp 5 have convex ridge lines 21, 22, 23, 25 on the front side. These ridgelines 21, 22, 23, 25 are substantially continuous and extend obliquely upward rearward as viewed from the side. In this embodiment, the ridge line 23 of the partition 2a is The ridgeline 22 of the directional light 3 is viewed from the rear and does not overlap. The tail light 5 is formed with a face 5a that is inclined rearward and upward. The partition portion 2a extends in a direction inclined in the vertical direction, and the width of the partition portion 2a is kept substantially constant.

As shown in FIG. 7, the lens 3b of the directional lamp 3 protrudes more from the front side than the cover 2 in plan view. In the present embodiment, the directional light 3 is formed into a substantially elliptical shape when viewed from above. Further, as shown in Fig. 8, the directional light 3 is formed in a side view and has a substantially elliptical shape which is inclined forward.

In the present embodiment, the angle at which the tangent lines of the front ends of the two partition portions 2a are formed from each other is set to be 40 to 140 in a plan view. The tail light 5 is disposed inside the front side of the two tangent lines. Moreover, the ratio of the distance between the end portions of the two-directional lamp 3 in the vehicle width direction and the distance from the rear end portion of the two-directional lamp 3 in the vehicle width direction is 1.5 or more in plan view.

Therefore, the above effects can also be obtained in the second embodiment.

(third embodiment)

Next, a saddle type vehicle of the third embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 9 to 11 . This embodiment is a modification of the tail portion of the locomotive 11 of the first embodiment. The parts corresponding to the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment.

In the third embodiment, the tail light 5 and the direction light 3 are also separated by the partition portion 2a of the cover. As shown in Fig. 9, the direction of the direction lamp 3, the partition portion 2a, and the tail light 5 in a plan view is substantially V-shaped. As shown in Fig. 10, the end portion 3d of the lens 3b of the directional lamp 3 is located rearward of the front end of the lens 5b of the tail lamp 5. Further, in the present embodiment, the lower end portion 5e shown in Fig. 11 is the front end portion of the lens 5b. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 11, the lens 3b is located at the upper end of the lens 5b. 5c is further below and above the lower end 5e. Further, the inner end portion 3g of the lens 3b of each of the directional lamps 3 is located inside the outer end portion 5d of the lens 5b of the tail lamp 5 as viewed from the rear.

As shown in Fig. 10, the lens 3b of the directional lamp 3 has a ridge line 22 extending in a substantially horizontal direction (strictly speaking, a rear obliquely upward direction) and a ridge line 26 extending in a substantially vertical direction. The partition 2a has a valley line 28 that extends in a substantially horizontal direction. That is, the partition 2a has a concave surface. Therefore, when the direction lamp 3 is viewed from the rear, the partition portion 2a does not interfere. Thereby, the visibility of the directional light 3 can be improved. The back surface 5a of the tail light 5 forms a face that is inclined rearward and upward. The partition portion 2a extends in a direction inclined from the vertical direction as viewed from the side, and the width of the partition portion 2a is kept substantially constant.

As shown in FIG. 9, the lens 3b of the directional lamp 3 protrudes more from the front side than the cover 2. In the present embodiment, the directional light 3 is also formed in a substantially triangular shape when viewed from above. Further, the directional light 3 is also formed in a substantially triangular shape as viewed from the side (see Fig. 10). On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the end portion 3d of the directional lamp 3 is recessed more inward than the contour of the cover 2 in plan view. The ratio of the distance between the end portions of the two-directional lamp 3 in the vehicle width direction and the distance from the rear end portion 3d in the vehicle width direction of the two-directional lamp 3 is 1.5 or more in plan view.

Therefore, the above effects can also be obtained in the third embodiment.

(other implementation types)

The arrangement of the directional lamp 3, the partition 2a, and the taillight 5 of each of the above embodiments may be utilized in an upside down state. For example, the tail portion of the locomotive shown in Fig. 12 is provided with an arrangement structure in which the directional lamp 3 and the tail lamp 5 of the third embodiment are turned upside down. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the tail light 5 has a downward direction Inclined face 5a. The aforementioned effects can also be obtained in the present embodiment.

In each of the above embodiments, the direction of the direction lamp 3, the partition portion 2a of the cover, and the tail light 5 are substantially V-shaped in plan view. Here, the "substantial V-shape" is intended to have a pair of left and right sides (which may be flat, or a curved surface or a combination thereof) extending from the front to the front. The term "substantially V-shaped" does not necessarily mean that there is a corner or a discontinuity at the end after the tail light 5. The outline of the rear end portion of the tail light 5 is formed as shown in the second embodiment (see FIG. 7), and may be formed by a gentle curve such as a circular arc or a smooth curve without a discontinuous portion.

Further, as shown in FIG. 13, in the above-described substantially V-shape, the shape of one of the V-shaped portions is also included. In other words, the above-mentioned "substantial V-shape" also includes a form in which the imaginary line extending the outline of the tail light 5 or the like is substantially V-shaped. Further, the contour does not have to be extended in a straight line, and the angle may be changed in the middle. Of course, as shown in FIG. 14, the outline of the directional lamp 3, the partition 2a, and the taillight 5 also forms a substantially linear shape.

The shape of the directional light 3 is not limited to a substantially triangular shape or a substantially elliptical shape, and may be, for example, a circular shape, a substantially square shape, or a substantially rectangular shape (including a shape in which a corner portion is formed in a circular shape). Further, the shape of the tail light 5 is not limited to the shape of each of the above embodiments. Of course, the partition 2a of the cover 2 can also be variously deformed.
