Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a retractable ornament that is disposed on a vehicle body panel surface, such as an engine hood of an automobile, such that it can be collapsed.

In the case of automobiles, various parts that protrude from the surface of the vehicle body panel are required to be arranged in such a way that the parts can fall over when a pedestrian interferes with the protruding parts due to pedestrian safety measures. There is. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the ornament O disposed at the center of the front end of the engine hood F is also structured so that it can easily fall down when a pedestrian interferes with it. Specifically, this is
As shown in Japanese Patent No. 148630, an ornament sheet member having a recess for accommodating the base portion of the ornament main body and a cylindrical shaft portion below the recess is attached to the vehicle body panel, and In addition to housing the base part of the ornament body,
A loop portion of the wire is engaged with a suspension portion formed on the lower surface of the base portion, the wire is pulled out into the shaft portion, and a spring is inserted between the wire end and a spring seat formed inside the upper portion of the shaft portion. By loading the wire, the wire is pulled downward and the ornament main body is held upright so that it can be brought down. By the way, such retractable ornaments have conventionally been die-cast molded exclusively from light metal materials, and as a result, they are less noticeable at night and lose their decorative effect.

In view of the conventional situation, the present invention makes the ornament display part emit light at night to provide a decorative effect both during the day and night.Moreover, the energizing cord of the light-emitting body is connected to the wire for keeping the ornament upright when it falls down and returns to its standing position. It is an object of the present invention to provide a retractable ornament that can reliably prevent damage due to entanglement with springs.

Therefore, in the present invention, the ornament display section is composed of a light emitting body and a display cover equipped with a transparent part that covers the light emitting body, so that the light emitting body is made to emit light at night to display the display. The mark can be made to appear in relief, creating a decorative effect both day and night.Also, the energizing cord of the light emitter can be passed through the base of the ornament body and connected to the wire inside the spring inside the shaft of the ornament sheet member. By covering the energizing cord and wire with a cylindrical cover, the energizing cord will not get entangled with the wire spring when the ornament body falls down or returns to standing, and will not be damaged by interfering with other ornament components. I'm trying not to do that.

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

In FIGS. 2 to 5, 1 is an ornament main body, and the ornament main body 1 is composed of a display section 2 on which marks, letters, etc. are applied, and a base section 3.
The lower edge of the base portion 3 is chamfered so that it can easily lie down within a recess 13 of a sheet member 10, which will be described later.

The display section 2 is composed of a sheet-like light-emitting lamp 4 known as a light-emitting body and a display cover 5 that covers both sides of the sheet-like light-emitting lamp 4, and the display cover 5 is fitted into the frame 1a of the ornament main body 1. The sheet-shaped light emitting lamp 4 is clamped and fixed between these display covers 5. Further, the display cover 5 has a peripheral portion formed into a light shielding portion 5b by surface treatment, and a central portion formed as a light transmitting portion 5a.
This transparent portion 5a is provided with predetermined characters, symbols, patterns, etc., and is also coated with a matte pattern or transparent paint, so that the internal structure cannot be seen through during the daytime, and the characters, symbols, etc. can be clearly seen. The characters, symbols, etc. can be displayed in relief at night by lighting the light-emitting lamp 4.

A through hole 7 is formed in the center of the base portion 3, and an energizing cord 8 of the light emitting lamp 4 is passed through the through hole 7. Furthermore, a pair of wire suspension parts 9 are integrally molded on the lower surface of the base part 7 so as to straddle the through hole 8 .

Reference numeral 10 denotes an ornament sheet member, and the sheet member 10 has a cylindrical shaft portion 11 integrally formed with a threaded portion 12 on the outer periphery on the lower side, and an ornament main body 1 concentrically with the shaft portion 11 on the upper surface. A recess 13 is formed to accommodate the base portion 3 of the engine hood F, and the shaft portion 12 is inserted into the mounting holes Fa and Ba of the bracket B fixed to the engine hood F and its lower surface.
A nut 14 is screwed onto the threaded portion 12 and fixed thereto.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a wire for holding the ornament body 1 upright, and this wire 16 is anchored by looping around the hanging portion 9 with the base portion 3 of the ornament body 1 accommodated in the recess 13 of the sheet member 10. A spring 17 loaded between the wire end portion 16a and a spring seat 11a formed inside the upper side of the shaft portion 11 is pulled downward and disposed, and the ornament main body 1 is raised in the recessed portion 13. ,keeping.

Then, the energizing cord 8 of the light emitting lamp 4 is pulled out from the shaft portion 11 along the wire 16 inside the spring 17, and the energizing cord 8 is pulled out from the wire 16.
It is also covered with a cylindrical cover 18.

This cylindrical cover 18 can be made of either metal or resin, but in this embodiment, the cylindrical cover 18 made of resin is used, and its lower end is clamped and fixed with a clip 19. be.

Note that 20 in FIGS. 2, 4, and 5 indicates the sheet member 10.
Escutcheon placed on the bottom, 15 is nut 14
21 represents a DC-AC converter to which the energizing cord 8 is connected.

According to the structure of the above embodiment, the predetermined characters, symbols, etc. applied to the display section 2 of the ornament main body 1 are clearly visible during the daytime, and the same decorative effect as that of ordinary die-cast products can be obtained. On the other hand, by lighting the light-emitting lamp 4 at night, the light passes through the transparent part 5a of the display cover 5, and the above-mentioned characters, symbols, etc. appear clearly in relief and are decorative even at night. You can get the effect.

By employing the light-emitting lamp 4 in this way, the energizing cord 8 is drawn out from the ornament body 1 through the sheet member 10, and the energizing cord 8 is drawn out from the ornament body 1 with letters, symbols, etc. clearly embossed. The decorative effect can be obtained even at night.

By employing the light-emitting lamp 4 in this way, the energizing cord 8 is drawn out from the ornament body 1 through the sheet member 10. , and the wire 1
6 is covered with a cylindrical cover 18, so that when the ornament main body 1 returns to standing after being knocked down by an external force as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the energizing cord 8 and the wire 1 are
6 is pulled upward, but at this time, the energizing cord 8
Since the energizing cord 8 is pulled out together with the wire 16 and is covered with the cylindrical cover 18 together with the wire 16, the energizing cord 8 may become entangled with the wire 16 or the spring and break, or interfere with the inner wall of the shaft portion 11 and be frayed. It is possible to prevent accidents such as this.

In addition, instead of painting the transparent part 5a of the display cover 5 with a satin pattern or a transparent paint in the embodiment described above, a colored transparent film 6 is adhered to the back surface of the transparent part 5a as shown in FIG. may be made so that it cannot be exposed.

Further, although not shown in the drawings as the cylindrical cover 18, instead of using the aforementioned cylindrical cover made of metal or resin and clamping the lower part with the clip 19, a slit is formed in the axial direction and the diameter is If you use a cylindrical cover that has a spring function in the direction,
Since the wire and energizing cord can be wrapped and fixed by its own spring function, there is no need to clamp it with a special clip.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the display part of the ornament body has a built-in light emitting body, by lighting up the light emitter even at night, the display on the display part appears clearly in relief. In addition, a decorative effect can be obtained both during the day and at night. In addition, the energizing cord of the light emitting body is pulled out along the wire that holds the ornament body upright inside the spring inside the shaft of the ornament sheet member, and is covered with a cylindrical cover together with the wire, so that the ornament body does not fall down. When the energizing cord is towed, it is pulled together with the wires and springs, so it does not get tangled with the wires or interfere with other functional parts, resulting in disconnection or damage, which is a great practical advantage. It has a great effect.
