With such a simple support structure including the base member 110 and the cover 140, the light distribution member 130 can be effectively held against vibrations of the vehicle.

As described above, the vehicle direction indicating device 100 (front turn signal 61 (right front turn signal 61R, left front turn signal 61L), rear turn signal 53 (right rear turn signal 53R, left rear turn signal 53L)) in the above-described embodiment, Light that is disposed in the space between the cover 140, the base member 110 and the cover 140 and provided with the base 120 including the light source 121, and the space between the base member 110 and the cover 140, and emitted from the light source 121. A light distribution member 130 that distributes light toward the cover 140, the base member 110 includes a base member-side base support portion 110 s that fits with the base 120, and the light distribution member 130 fits with the base 120 A light distribution member side base support part 131s, and the base 120 is arranged with the base member side base support part 110s. Fitted by the member-side base support portion 131s is secured.
According to this configuration, there is no need to provide a fastening member for fastening the base to a light distribution member having a base member or a reflecting surface, so the base can be arranged by a simple method and the number of parts can be reduced. it can.

In the vehicle direction indicating device 100, the light distribution member 130 further includes an upper portion 131 formed so as to bulge toward the cover 140 and having a light distribution member side base support portion 131s formed on the base member 110 side, The base 120 may be fixed so as to be sandwiched between the base member 110 and the upper part 131.
In this case, since the base is fixed so as to be sandwiched between the base member and the upper part, the base can be effectively fixed from the front and the rear without increasing the number of parts.
In addition, since the light source can be efficiently covered by the upper part without providing a concave portion or the like, the light source is difficult to be visually recognized from the outside, and it is possible to prevent the viewer from feeling uncomfortable.

In the vehicle direction indicating device 100, the light source 121 is provided on the base 120 so as to irradiate light in the thickness direction of the base 120, and the base 120 is directed so that the irradiation direction of the light emitted from the light source 121 is downward. It may be fixed.
In this case, since the base is fixed so that the irradiation direction of the light emitted from the light source is downward, the light source is more effectively prevented from being visually recognized from the outside, thereby preventing discomfort to the viewer. it can.

In the vehicle direction indicating device 100, the light distribution member 130 is formed so as to bulge toward the base member 110, and includes a lower portion 132 and a upper portion 131 in which a reflecting portion 132d having a reflecting surface 132a facing the cover 140 is formed. And a connecting portion 133 that connects the lower portion 132, the irradiation portion 133h facing the reflecting surface 132a is formed in the connecting portion 133, and the light source 121 is connected to the reflecting surface 132a via the irradiation hole 133h. You may fix so that it may oppose.
In this case, since the irradiation hole for the light source to face the reflecting surface is formed in the coupling portion corresponding to the light source, the light source can be covered more efficiently while ensuring the rigidity of the light distribution member. Can hardly be visually recognized from the outside, and it is possible to prevent the viewer from feeling uncomfortable.

In the vehicle direction indicating device 100, the reflecting portion 132d has a plurality of reflecting surfaces (132a1, 132a2), and the connecting portion 133 has a plurality of irradiation holes (133h1) respectively facing the plurality of reflecting surfaces (132a1, 132a2). 133h2), and the base 120 may include a plurality of light sources (121-1, 121-2) respectively facing the plurality of reflecting surfaces (132a1, 132a2).
In this case, since a plurality of light sources and reflection surfaces are provided, the amount of light irradiation can be increased.

In the vehicle direction indicating device 100, the light distribution member 130 is fixed to the base member 110 via the base 120, the light distribution member 130 further includes a flange portion 135, and the base member 110 supports the flange portion 135. The cover 140 may further include a flange contact surface (145) that contacts the flange portion 135.
In this case, the flange portion 135 of the light distribution member 130 is supported by the flange support portion 115 of the base member 110, and the end of the flange portion 135 of the light distribution member 130 on the cover 140 side is held by the flange contact surface 145 of the cover 140. The light distribution member 130 can be effectively held by the base member 110 and the cover 140 by a simple method.

In the vehicle direction indicating device 100, the cover 140 may be welded and fixed to the base member 110 at the joint surface with the base member 110.
In this case, since the cover is welded and fixed to the base member at the joint surface with the base member, it is not necessary to use a fastening member when joining the cover and the base member, and the number of parts can be reduced.

As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention has been explained in full detail with reference to drawings, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment. For example, the saddle-ride type vehicle includes all vehicles on which the driver rides across the vehicle body, and includes not only motorcycles (including motorbikes and scooter type vehicles) but also three-wheelers (front and rear two-wheelers). In addition, a vehicle having two front wheels and one rear wheel is also included.

And the structure in the said embodiment is an example of this invention, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention, such as replacing the component of embodiment with a known component.
