Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] << Industrial Application Field >> The present invention relates to a lamp for an automobile provided with a finisher portion integrally with a lamp body.

<< Prior Art >> Many lamps are mounted on conventional vehicles.

After installing the lamps such as the side lights, tail lights, and direction lights among these lamps, it is not necessary to adjust the optical axis,
After installing the auxiliary headlights such as headlights and fog lights, it is necessary to adjust the optical axis.

Therefore, conventionally, an auxiliary headlamp a such as a fog lamp that requires optical axis adjustment and an automotive lamp b such as a direction indicator lamp that does not require optical axis adjustment are shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. When adjacently provided, a gap c for adjusting the optical axis is provided between the lamps a and b, and the optical axis adjusting screw d is adjusted from the gap c. Finisher (decorative plate) with separate parts formed in the gap e
Was attached with a set screw f to close the gap c.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, this method requires a dedicated part as the finisher e and a part for mounting the same, so that the number of parts is increased and a large number of man-hours are required for manufacturing and assembling. Since the space for mounting the finisher e is required on the side of the auxiliary headlamp a, there is a problem that the positions of the mounting screw for mounting the auxiliary headlamp a and the optical axis adjusting screw d are limited.

The present invention has been made for the purpose of improving the above problems, and by providing an integrated lamp body and finisher, it is possible to provide an automobile lamp that reduces the number of parts and the associated manufacturing and mounting man-hours. It is what

<Means for Solving the Problem> In order to achieve the above object, the present invention relates to an automobile lamp in which a lamp body is attached to a vehicle body adjacent to an auxiliary headlight, and a housing constituting the lamp body. The lens and the lens respectively have an extending portion and a finisher portion integrally projected, or the extension portion is integrally formed with a finisher portion, or the lens is integrally provided with a finisher portion, and the finisher portion The auxiliary headlight is configured to cover a mounting screw and an optical axis adjusting screw that are mounted on the vehicle body.

<< Operation >> As a result, it is not necessary to manufacture the finisher portion as a separate component, which is economical and the number of steps required for assembly can be reduced.

Further, by forming the finisher portion integrally with the lens, a feeling of strangeness is eliminated and the appearance is improved.

<< Embodiment >> An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a vehicle lamp according to an embodiment of the present invention and an auxiliary headlight such as a fog lamp mounted adjacent to each other on a bumper of the vehicle, and FIG. 2 is a front view thereof.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a main body of an automobile lamp and 2 is an auxiliary headlight.

The auxiliary headlamp 2 is attached to a bracket 4 fixed to the side of a bumper 3 attached to a vehicle body by a plurality of mounting screws 5 and an optical axis adjusting screw 5'and a housing 2a, and an opening of the housing 2a. The reflecting mirror 6 and the lamp 7 attached to the bottom of the reflecting mirror 6 are housed in the housing 2a.

In the lamp body 1, a socket 8 is fixed to the bottom of a housing 1a formed in a concave spherical shape, and a lamp 9 is attached to the socket 8.
A lens 1c is fitted in the opening 1b of 1a.

On the other hand, a hook 1d is projectingly provided on one end side of the housing 1a, and the hook 1d is locked to the mounting edge portion 3a of the bumper 3 and extends to the other end side of the housing 1a.
Is protruding.

The extending portion 1e has its end reaching near the lens 2b of the auxiliary headlamp 2 so as to cover the front of the mounting screw 5 and the optical axis adjusting screw 5'for mounting the auxiliary headlamp 2 on the bumper 3. A mounting boss 1f for inserting a mounting screw 10 for mounting the lamp body 1 on the bumper 3 is provided on the back surface of the extending portion 1e.

The end of the lens 1c, which is fitted into the opening 1b of the housing 1a, on the side of the auxiliary headlamp 2 is also projected along the extension 1e of the housing 1a, and this protruding portion is formed integrally with the lens 1c. In addition to the finisher portion 1g, the tip of the mounting screw 10 inserted through the mounting hole 1h opened in the finisher portion 1g can be screwed into the mounting piece 3b of the bumper 3 via the mounting boss 1f of the housing 1a. By bumper 3
The lamp body 1 is attached to.

Next, the operation will be described. When mounting the lamp body 1 and the auxiliary headlight 2 on the bumper 3, first, the auxiliary headlight 2 is attached.
Is temporarily attached to the bumper 3 using a plurality of mounting screws 5, and the optical axis adjusting screw 5'is rotated in this state to adjust the optical axis of the auxiliary headlamp 2.

At this time, since the lamp body 1 is not yet attached to the bumper 3, the optical axis can be easily adjusted.

When the optical axis adjustment of the auxiliary headlamp 2 is completed, the mounting screw 5 is fully tightened to fix the auxiliary headlamp 2, and then the hook 1d protruding from one end of the lamp body 1 is attached to the mounting edge of the bumper 3. The lamp body 1 is fitted to the predetermined position shown in FIG. 1 while being locked to the portion 3a.

Then, the lamp body 1 can be fixed to the bumper 3 by inserting and tightening the mounting screw 10 through the mounting hole 1h opened in the finisher portion 1g, and the lens 1c
The finisher part 1g formed integrally with the auxiliary headlight 2
Since the front side of the mounting screw 5 and the optical axis adjusting screw 5'which are mounted on the front side is covered, it is not necessary to cover with a finisher portion which is a separate component.

In the above embodiment, the mounting screw 5 is attached to the finisher portion 1g provided integrally with the lens 1c and the extension portion 1e of the housing 1a.
The optical axis adjusting screw 5'is covered, but as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, an extension portion protruding from the housing 1a.
The finisher portion 1g may be formed integrally with 1e, and the mounting screw 5 and the optical axis adjusting screw 5'may be covered with this finisher portion 1g. As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the finisher portion 1g is integrated with the lens 1c. The mounting screw 5 and the optical axis adjusting screw 5'may be covered only by the finisher portion 1g provided on the.

Further, in the above embodiments, the lamp body 1 and the auxiliary headlight 2 are both mounted on the bumper 3, but of course they may be mounted on the vehicle body.

<Effect of device> As described in detail above, the device of the present invention is configured so that the finisher portion provided integrally with the lamp body covers the mounting screw for attaching the auxiliary headlight to the vehicle body or the optical axis adjusting screw. Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare the finisher part as a separate part.

As a result, the man-hours for manufacturing and installing the finisher can be greatly reduced, and the optical axis of the auxiliary headlamp can be adjusted with the lamp body removed.
Adjustment work becomes easy.

Also, by molding the finisher part integrally with the lens, the discomfort caused by providing the finisher part is eliminated, and the appearance of the entire lamp is improved, and there is no need for a space to attach the finisher part as a separate component. There is no restriction on the mounting position of the headlight mounting screw or the optical axis adjusting screw, which also has the effect of increasing the degree of freedom.
