- An object of the interior illumination lamp for a vehicle disclosed in JP-A-2007-203911 is to enhance its assembling workability and to facilitate maintenance works.
- a locking claw is formed on a side face of a base housing of the decorative part, and an elastically deformable operating panel having a locking part to which the locking claw can be locked is provided in a housing of the functional part.
- the operating panel is pressed from an inside of a bulb containing room in the decorative part to be elastically deformed, thereby enabling a locked state of the locking part with respect to the locking claw to be released.
- a lamp unit can be reliably assembled to a ceiling panel having a plurality of clamping thicknesses, only by exchanging clamping holders. Therefore, constituent components of the lamp unit and a basic design of a wire harness which is connected to the lamp can be commonly used, and further, specs of the clamping holder can be exchanged according to the ceiling panel to which the lamp unit is to be attached. As the results, there is such a merit that modification of the specs of the components to comply with diversification of the specs of the lamp unit can be restrained to the least extent, and cost for the components can be reduced. «Demerit»
- This invention has been made in order to solve the above described drawback, and an object of the invention is to provide an interior illumination lamp for a vehicle in which there is no necessity of molding a whole contact face of a decorative part to be contactedwith a roof trimwith high precision, whereas an appearance of amatedpart of an outer periphery of a decorative surface of a lens to be mated with the roof trim can be easily enhanced, and looseness of the mated part is eliminated.
- a first invention of this application relates to an interior illumination lamp for a vehicle including a lamp unit having a light source, which is a functional part, and a lens provided inside a vehicle room, which is a decorative part, wherein the lens is engaged with the lamp unit through an inner peripheral edge of an opening in a roof trim, thereby to clamp the roof trim between them and to attach the interior illumination lamp for a vehicle in a state where the roof trim is clamped, characterized in that the lamp unit is provided with a plurality of positioning projections at a position where the lamp unit is contacted with the roof trim.
- a second invention of this application is characterized in that a plurality of the positioning projections are provided at an equal interval, in the first invention.
- the first invention there is no necessity of molding the whole contact face of the decorative part to be contacted with the roof trim with high precision, whereas the appearance of the mated part of the outer periphery of the decorative surface of the lens to be mated with the roof trim can be easily enhanced, and looseness of the mated part is eliminated. As the results, reduction of the cost can be achieved.
- the positioning projections are provided at an equal interval, and hence, the appearance of the mated part between the decorative part and the roof trim can be further enhanced, and the looseness is eliminated.
- Fig. 1(A) is a plan view for explaining an interior illumination lamp for a vehicle according to the invention
- Fig. 1(B) is an exploded perspective view of the interior illumination lamp for a vehicle in Fig. 1(A).
- Fig.2 is a perspective view showing a manner of attaching the interior illumination lamp for a vehicle in Fig. 1 to a ceiling of a vehicle.
- Fig. 3(A) is a plan view of the interior illumination lamp for a vehicle, showing a position where a roof trim is clamped and held between a lens and a lamp unit
- Fig. 3(B) is a vertical sectional view taken along a line A-A in Fig. 3A
- Fig. 3(C) is a vertical sectional view taken along a line B-B in Fig. 3 (A) .
- Fig. 4(A) is an enlarged view of an encircled part in Fig. 3(B)
- Fig. 4(B) is an enlarged view of an encircled part in Fig. 3(C).
- the interior illumination lamp for a vehicle according to the invention in which there is no necessity of molding a whole contact face of a decorative part to be contacted with a roof trim with high precision, whereas an appearance of a mated part of an outer periphery of a decorative surface of a lens to be mated with the roof trim can be easily enhanced, and looseness of the mated part is eliminated, will be described referring to the drawings.
- Fig. 1(A) is a plan view for explaining the interior illumination lamp for a vehicle according to the invention
- Fig. 1(B) is an exploded perspective view of a lens (1) and a lamp unit (2) detached from the interior illumination lamp for a vehicle in Fig. 1(A)
- An enlarged view of a part extracted from (2) shows a positioning projection which is provided according to the invention.
- an interior illumination lamp 10 for a vehicle includes a lens 20 provided inside a vehicle room, which is a decorative part, and a lamp unit having light sources 30L, which is a functional part.
- Fig. 1(B) shows a state where the lens 20 is detached from the interior illumination lamp 10 for a vehicle. Openings 20K for the light sources are formed in the lens 20. Both the lens 20 and the lamp unit 30 have a rectangular shape. The lens 20 is smaller in size than the lamp unit 30, and an outer periphery of the lamp unit 30 is exposed from an outer periphery of the lens 20 in a state where the lens 20 is assembled to the lamp unit 30. According to the invention, a plurality of positioning projections 30T are provided at an equal interval in an exposed part of the lamp unit 30.
- Each of the positioning projections 30T has a columnar shape, and is formed with high precision.
- the positioning projections 30T are provided at sixteen positions in total, specifically, at five positions on a longer side of the rectangular shape, and at three positions on a shorter side.
- Fig.2 is a perspective view showing a manner of attaching the interior illumination lamp 10 for a vehicle in Fig. 1 to a ceiling of a vehicle.
- a roof trim 40 is disposed between the lens 20 and the lamp unit 30.
- the lens 20 is moved near the lamp unit 30, and locking parts 20R (specifically, refer to Fig. 4) of the lens 20 are passed through an opening 40K for the lens in the roof trim 40 to be engaged with locking parts 30R (specifically, refertoFig.4) of the lamp unit 30 at the opposite side, thereby to hold the roof trim 40 by clamping it between the lens 20 and the lamp unit 30 like a sandwich.
- Fig. 3(A) is a plan view of the interior illumination lamp 10 for a vehicle, showing a region where the roof trim 40 is held in a state clamped between the lens 20 and the lamp unit 30 like a sandwich
- Fig. 3(B) is a vertical sectional view taken along a line A-A in Fig. 3 (A)
- Fig. 3 (C) is a vertical sectional view taken along a line B-B in Fig. 3(A)
- Fig. 4(A) is an enlarged view of an encircled part in Fig. 3 (B)
- Fig. 4(B) is an enlarged view of an encircled part in Fig. 3(C).
- the locking part 30R in a hook-like shape of the lamp unit 30 enters into an opening 20L which is formed in the locking part 20R of the lens 20 to be engaged with the locking part 20R.
- the roof trim 40 is clamped between the lens 20 and the lamp unit 30, like a sandwich, and reliably held.
- the positioning projections 30T have to be precisely formed, and thus, contact area with the roof trim can be reduced.
- the appearance of a mated part between the outer periphery of the decorative surface of the lens and the roof trim is enhanced, and the looseness is eliminated.
- the contact area with the roof trim can be reduced.
- the appearance of the mated part between the outer periphery of the decorative surface of the lens and the roof trim is enhanced, and the looseness is eliminated. Therefore, the necessity of molding the whole contact face of the decorative part with respect to the roof trim with high precision, which has been the problem of the conventional device, is eliminated, and reduction of the cost can be achieved.
