Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a turn signal lamp attached to a vehicle.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, as a technology in this field, the one shown in FIG. 2 is known.

FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of the configuration of a conventional turn signal lamp, and numeral 1 represents a lamp body. A reflector 2 is attached to the rear of the lamp body 1, and a socket 3, which is a socket for a light bulb (not shown), is fixed to the rear of the reflector 2. On the other hand, a gasket 4 and a lens 5 are arranged at the front of the lamp body 1. In addition, the lamp body 1, gasket 4 and lens 5
has an insertion hole 1 into which a screw (not shown) is inserted.
a, 4a, and 5a are formed, respectively.

The turn signal lamp is fitted into an opening formed in the vehicle body (not shown) and attached to the vehicle body by screws inserted through the insertion holes 1a, 4a, and 5a.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, with the turn signal lamp, the screws must be turned with a screwdriver when attaching and detaching the turn signal lamp, making the work complicated.

Heretofore, there has been known a turn signal lamp in which a lamp body 1, a gasket 4, and a lens 5 are fixed in advance, and a stud bottle is provided on the lamp body 1, but when the turn signal lamp is attached or removed, the stud bottle is In order to screw the nut into the
The work was also complicated, as it required accessing the backside of the car body.

This invention was made in view of the above problems,
To provide a turn signal lamp that can be easily attached to and detached from a vehicle body.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a turn signal lamp that is installed so as to fit into an opening formed in a vehicle body. a first engaging member that clamps the opening edge defining the turntable between the fixed part of the turntable by its own elasticity; and a first position formed of a leaf spring that engages with the opening edge. a second engaging member that can take a second position retracted from the position, and has a free end located in a gap formed between the opening edge and the circumferential surface of the turn signal lamp; It has an engagement hole formed in.

(Function and Effect) As described above, the turn signal lamp is fixed to the vehicle body by the first and second engaging members, so that it is extremely easy to attach and detach the turn signal lamp to the vehicle body. Become.

(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a turn signal lamp according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the mounting structure of the turn signal lamp of FIG. 1.

In the drawings, reference numeral 11 represents a vehicle body, and an opening 12 is formed in the vehicle body 11, and a fitting hole 11a is further formed in the opening edge of the vehicle body 11 that defines the opening 12. On the other hand, the reference numeral 13 represents a lamp body of a turn signal lamp. A reflector 14 is attached to the rear of this light body 13,
Furthermore, a socket 15, which is a socket for a light bulb (not shown), is detachably attached to the rear of the reflector 14. On the other hand, the fitting hole 11 is provided in the lamp body 13.
A fitting boss 13a is formed which fits into the fitting boss 13a to position and fix the turn signal lamp. moreover,
The lamp body 13 is provided with a rib 13b that engages with the opening edge of the vehicle body 11 to prevent the turn signal lamp from tipping forward. Furthermore, a first engagement member 18 formed of a leaf spring is attached to one side of the reflector 14. The engaging member 18 functions to clamp the opening edge of the vehicle body 11 by its own elasticity with the lamp body 13, which is a fixed part of the turn signal lamp. Furthermore, on the other side of the reflector 14,
A second engagement member 19 formed of a leaf spring is attached. This engaging member 19 is bent so that it can take a first position (engaging position) in which it engages with the opening edge of the vehicle body 11 and a second position (retracted position) in which it retracts from this position. An insertion hole 19a serving as an engagement hole is formed at its free end (tip).

Next, the order in which this turn signal lamp is attached to the vehicle body will be explained.

First, the light body 13 and the first turn signal lamp
one side of the turn signal lamp so that the opening edge of the vehicle body 11 is held between the engaging member 18 of the turn signal lamp and the fitting hole 11a of the vehicle body 11 and the fitting boss 13a of the lamp body 13 are fitted together into the opening 12.
Next, open the other side of the turn signal lamp through the opening 12.
insert into. At this time, the second engaging member 19 attached to the lamp body 13 first retracts along the opening edge of the vehicle body 11 and assumes the second position (retracted position), completely disengaging the turn signal lamp. When inserted into the opening 12, it returns to the first position (engaged position). The free end of the engaging member 19 is located in the gap formed between the opening edge of the vehicle body 11 and the circumferential surface of the turn signal lamp. Thereby, the turn signal lamp is fixed to the vehicle body 11.

On the other hand, when removing the turn signal lamp from the vehicle body 11, for example, a screwdriver or the like is inserted into the insertion hole 19a of the second engaging member 19, and the second engaging member 19 is moved to the second position (retracted position). This can be done by reversing the above procedure.

According to the turn signal lamp of this embodiment,
It becomes extremely easy to attach and detach the turn signal lamp to the vehicle body, and it becomes possible to improve the work efficiency.
