Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a spoiler that is used by being attached to the rear side of an automobile.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, this type of spoiler is installed only for the purpose of stabilizing the ground contact of the rear wheels to prevent the vehicle body from lifting up due to air resistance when the vehicle is traveling at high speed. Additionally, in general, lights in automobiles, especially light units with a stop lamp function, are embedded and integrated into the back of the vehicle body, and are located at a relatively low position, making it difficult to drive vehicles at high speeds, such as trucks. Not only was visibility poor from the seat, but trying to attach it as an auxiliary would be impossible due to the design of the car. Furthermore, it has been considered to attach a lighting unit to the spoiler, but simply attaching the lighting unit causes the problem of poor visibility from the rear due to the reflection of sunlight.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

The present invention was developed to solve the problem that conventional spoilers only had the function of preventing the vehicle body from floating, poor visibility due to the lighting unit being installed embedded in the vehicle body, and the problem that the lighting unit was attached to the spoiler. However, this is an attempt to solve problems such as poor visibility due to reflection of sunlight.

[Means for solving problems]

As a specific means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an elongated notch of a predetermined length approximately in the center of the edge of the spoiler, which becomes the wing part, and arranges a strip-shaped lighting unit within the notch. The present invention provides a spoiler characterized in that the upper surface of the edge that becomes the wing portion is formed in a hood shape and slightly protrudes from the attached lamp unit, and the spoiler has the following features: Since the light unit is integrally attached to the spoiler, the light unit can also be attached at the same time by simply attaching the spoiler to the car body.Moreover, the light unit with the stop lamp function can be attached to the spoiler, which is attached to prevent the car body from floating. By forming the upper surface of the spoiler's wing portion to protrude into a hood shape, visibility is improved since sunlight is not reflected, and the lighting unit can be attached to the spoiler's wing portion. As a result, there are no restrictions on the design of the car body.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the illustrated embodiment. Reference numeral 1 denotes an automobile body, and a spoiler 2 is attached to the upper rear side of the body. Like the conventional spoiler, this spoiler has a wing section and a mounting base, and it goes without saying that the wing section has the function of rectifying airflow and preventing the vehicle body from floating during high-speed driving. .

In the installed state of the spoiler 2, a linear or strip-shaped lamp unit 3 having a stop lamp function is attached toward the rear side at approximately the center of the edge that becomes the wing section. For this attachment, the spoiler 2 is formed by cutting out a notch 4 of a size suitable for the lamp unit 3 from the original shape of the spoiler at the end edge which becomes the wing portion. The notch 4 is formed in accordance with the shape of the lamp unit to be attached in advance when molding the spoiler. The lamp unit 3 attached to this notch 4 has an elongated strip shape and has a stop lamp function. As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration of this stop lamp uses a printed circuit board 5 with a large number of small light bulbs or LEDs arranged horizontally adjacent to each other as a light source 6.
is housed and fixed in the notch 4 while attached to the printed circuit board 5, and a lens 7 is attached to the front side of the light source 6.
This is a configuration in which . In this case, when attaching the lens 7, a groove 8 is provided in the notch 4 and an anchor member 9 for fixing with screws is embedded, and the lens 7 is generally slightly larger than the notch 4. The spoiler 2 is formed so that the upper surface 2a of the end edge which becomes the wing part of the spoiler 2 protrudes beyond the lens 7 to form a hood shape. Then, one end 7a of the lens 7 is inserted into the groove 8, a screw hole 7b is provided near the other end, and the lens 7 is screwed onto the anchor member 9 with a screw 10 to be fixed. By forming the lens shape in this way, the upper surface 2a of the end edge that becomes the wing portion of the spoiler 2 slightly protrudes like a hood, but it can be formed without damaging the original shape, and the spoiler 2 is substantially rectified. Functionality is not reduced.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, the spoiler according to the present invention has an elongated notch of a predetermined length in the approximate center of the edge that becomes the wing part, and a strip-shaped lighting unit is disposed within the notch, so that the spoiler can be integrated. The present invention provides a spoiler characterized in that the end edge that becomes the wing section is formed into a hood shape so as to protrude slightly beyond the attached lighting unit, and the lighting unit is attached to the wing section of the spoiler. Due to the integrated installation structure, simply by attaching the spoiler to the vehicle body, the light unit can also be attached at the same time, which not only significantly improves the installation work efficiency, but also allows the stop light unit to be installed in addition to the vehicle body float prevention function. In addition to further improving visibility from high places, the upper surface of the edge of the spoiler, which becomes the wing section, is slightly protruded from the lamp unit to form a hood shape, which improves the reflection of sunlight. This has the excellent effect of improving visibility.

Furthermore, by attaching the lighting unit to the spoiler as an auxiliary member, an excellent effect is achieved in that the design of the body is not restricted.
