Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to a light fixture installed inside a vehicle.
In particular, the present invention relates to a lamp whose lamp body has a part that is visible to the public from inside and outside the vehicle.

[Conventional technology]

Various types of lighting equipment are installed on vehicles, among which:
BACKGROUND ART Room lamps, high-mounted stop lamps, and the like exist as lighting devices that are installed inside a vehicle. These lamps have a lens portion that transmits bulb light serving as a light source, and a lamp body that holds the lens and bulb. Generally, the lamp body also has a part that is visible to the public. Such lamp bodies are usually made of resin materials such as PP or ABS.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

The resin materials used in conventional lamp bodies have a luster and texture unique to resin materials, and tend to create a feeling of discomfort with the interior of a vehicle interior, which is covered with fabric or leather. That is, the interiors of vehicle interiors tend to become more luxurious year by year, and lamp bodies made of resin tend to give a cheap feeling in the increasingly luxurious interiors.

This idea was created in view of the above problems.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a lighting fixture installed in a vehicle interior that harmonizes with the interior decoration of the vehicle interior.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention has been made to achieve the above object, and is a lamp body installed in the interior of a vehicle, in which the lamp body is made of a glass fiber-containing resin material, and fine irregularities are formed on a part of the outer surface or the front surface. It is characterized by the presence of

[Effect]

By forming fine irregularities on the surface of the lamp body, which is made of glass fiber-containing resin material, fine glass fibers appear from the surface, eliminating the gloss and texture unique to ordinary resins, creating a sense of unity with the interior of the vehicle. I can put it out.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. This embodiment will be explained using a high-mounted stop lamp attached to the inside of the rear window of a hatchback door as an example of a light installed in a vehicle interior. Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing the entire high mounted stop lamp, Fig. 2 is a perspective view taken from a direction perpendicular to the plane of the rear window (not shown) in Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the entire high mounted stop lamp. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 2.

The high mounted stop lamp is attached to the inside of a rear window 16 which is attached to the body 12 of the hatchback door 10 via a weather seal 14. The lamp body 22 of the high-mounted stop lamp consists of a container-shaped lamp body main body 22A to which the bulb 30 is attached, and an extending portion 22B extending substantially horizontally from the front opening of the lamp body main body. And lamp body extension part 2
2B is attached to an inner plate 18 constituting the body 12 of the hatchback door 10 by bolts 20. This lamp body extension part 22B
is a plate-shaped member having a step 23, and is made of glass fiber-filled PP or ABS resin.
Attachment using the bolts 20 is performed behind the step 23. In front of the step 23, fine ribs run along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and fine irregularities 24 are formed at a pitch of 0.5 to 1.5 mm. The part where this unevenness 24 is formed extends to the lamp body main body 22A, and a red outer lens 2 is provided at the front opening of the lamp body main body 22A.
6 is attached, and the outer lens 26 faces the glass surface of the rear window 16. valve 3
When the light from 0 passes through this outer lens 26, the lamp lights up in red. Further, an inner lens 28 is disposed on the inner side of the outer lens 26, that is, on the lower side thereof. The inner lens 28 is formed with a large number of steps running in the lateral direction of the vehicle body, and is designed to guide the light emitted from the bulb 30 to the rear (to the left in FIG. 3). A lamp chamber 32 having a reflective surface 31 deposited with aluminum is formed below the inner lens 28, and the bulb 30 is disposed within this lamp chamber 32. This lamp chamber 32 is formed by the main body 22A of the lamp body 22, and the outer periphery of the lamp body 22 is covered with a cover 34.

In the high-mounted stop lamp of this embodiment, not only the outer lens 26 but also the portion of the lamp body 22B in front of the stepped portion 23 is visible from outside the vehicle through the rear window 16. In the visible part of this lamp body, as mentioned above, fine irregularities 24 are formed with a pitch of 0.5 to 1.5 mm, and the glass fibers appear finely.
It is designed so that the unique luster and texture of resin materials is not felt. In other words, it has an appearance that gives you the feel of kohl heaven. Therefore, when looking into the interior of the vehicle from outside the vehicle through the rear window 16, the high mounted stop lamp is in harmony with the entire fabric or leather interior of the vehicle interior, creating a sense of unity. In addition, when the lamp body becomes hot due to lighting of the lamp, the fine unevenness 24 formed on the lamp body extension part 22B increases the heat dissipation effect.
It can prevent the entire high mounted stop lamp from heating up.

The pitch of the unevenness 24 formed in the visible area of the lamp body is preferably 0.5 to 1.5 mm. That is, if the pitch of the unevenness 24 is set to 1.5 mm or more, the uneven plane portion becomes large and the gloss of the plane becomes noticeable, which is not desirable in terms of appearance. On the other hand, if the pitch of the unevenness 24 is set to 0.5 mm or less, it will be difficult to form unevenness on the surface during molding, and the heat dissipation effect will be poor. Therefore, the pitch of the unevenness 24 is most preferably 0.5 to 1.5 mm from the viewpoints of both creating a cloth feel and having good heat dissipation.

In the above embodiments, a high-mounted stop lamp was used as an example of a light fixture installed in the vehicle interior, but in other embodiments, all other light fixtures installed in the vehicle interior, such as a room lamp, will be explained. Able to implement ideas.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the vehicle interior lighting device of the present invention, the visible part of the lamp body is made of glass fiber-containing resin and the surface is formed with fine irregularities, thereby eliminating the unique gloss and texture of the resin. It is possible to harmonize with the interior decoration of the vehicle interior.
