Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a vehicular lamp, and more particularly to a structure for mounting the vehicular lamp on a vehicle body.

[Prior Art] An example of a vehicle body mounting structure for a vehicle lamp is shown in FIGS. 7 to 9. In the illustrated example, a fitting type fastener 32A is provided near the side edge on the back surface of the lamp housing 31, and after fitting this with a fastener 32B fixed to the vehicle body 40, the fitting hole 33 is attached to the mounting hole 33 of the other side edge portion. A stepped screw 34 is inserted and screwed and fixed to a fastener 35 with a screw hole fixed to a vehicle body 40. In this case, the mounting hole 33 is formed in the side edge portion of the housing 31 protruding outward from the side edge of the lens 36, and the tightening with the screw 34 is performed from the lamp front side.

The stepped screw 34 is used when the lamp 30 is removed from the vehicle body 40 when the lamp bulb is replaced.
This is to prevent the screws 34 from coming apart.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

When such a mounting structure is used, the claws on the periphery of the mounting hole 33
Since 33A and the step portion 34A of the screw 34 are engaged with each other, the positional relationship between the housing 31 and the screw 34 is restricted. Due to this restriction, it becomes impossible to deal with the positional deviation between the mounting hole 33 and the fastener 35 (see FIG. 10) that occurs when the fasteners 32A and 32B are fitted together.

An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicular lamp having a vehicle body mounting structure capable of securely holding a fixing screw and accurately tightening the screw even if a slight displacement occurs.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

According to the present invention, a fitting type fastener is provided near one side edge of a lamp housing, and a mounting hole is provided at the other side edge portion protruding outward from the side edge of the lens, and the mounting hole is provided after the fastener is fitted. In a vehicular lamp that is fixed to a vehicle body by tightening a screw at the portion, the mounting hole is made larger in diameter than the screw diameter of the fixing screw, and a band for fitting and supporting the neck portion of the fixing screw is provided. It is characterized by being integrated with a fastener with a screw hole fixed to a housing or a vehicle body.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, and only the screw tightening portion of the vehicle body mounting structure will be described.

In the figure, 11 is a lamp housing, 12 is a mounting hole formed in a side edge portion of the housing 11 projecting outward from a side edge of a lens (not shown), and 13 is inserted into the mounting hole 12 and fixed to a vehicle body 40. 15 is a packing, and 16A is a band for holding the screw 13.

The mounting hole 12 has a diameter larger than that of the fixing screw 13. Further, the band 16A is integrally formed with the housing 11 so as to have a hinge portion at its fixed end, and the hole 17 for fitting the screw 13 is made larger than the step portion 13A of the neck portion of the screw 13. There is.

By providing the band 16A integrated with the housing 11 and holding the fixing screw 13 on this, the screw 13 will not be lost when the lamp is removed from the vehicle body at the time of bulb replacement, and the replacement work can be performed. It will be done smoothly. Further, even if the screw tightening portion is displaced when it is fixed by the fitting type fastener, there is a margin in positioning the fixing screw 13, and accurate tightening is possible.

2 to 5 show an embodiment of the present invention.

Fig. 2 shows that the screw fixing part of the band 16B is made thicker and the hole 17
When the claw portion 17A is formed on the periphery of the
Secure engagement with 3A.

FIG. 3 shows a case in which the tip portion (screw fixing portion) of the band 16A is sandwiched by the spacers 18, and the screw 13 is held securely.
It also prevents buckling. This also applies to the case of FIG.

FIG. 4 shows the case where a separate band 16C is used. In this case, the convex portion 19 is formed on the end portion of the band 16C, and the convex portion 19 is fitted into the hole 20 on the housing 11 side.

FIG. 5 shows the case where the band 16D is formed integrally with the fastener 14.

The embodiment of FIGS. 4 and 5 applies when the housing 11 cannot be banded.

If the holes 17 of each band are provided with radial notches 21 as shown in FIG. 6, the screws 13 can be easily inserted.

[Effect of device]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the band is provided integrally with the housing or the fastener and the fixing screw is held by the band, there is no fear of losing the screw at the time of removal and the effect of temporary fixing. Therefore, workability can be improved. Also, because of the flexibility in holding screws,
Even if there is some displacement, it can be tightened properly.
