[Prior art]

 FIG. 6 shows an example of this type of vehicle body temporary deposit structure in a conventional vehicle lamp 90. A tapered taper-shaped boss 92 is provided at a few places on the back surface of a housing 91 of the vehicle lamp 90. The boss 92 is provided on the vehicle body 80 side and inserted into a socket hole 81 having a diameter slightly smaller than the maximum diameter of the boss 92, and is temporarily held by chucking the boss 92 and the socket hole 81. Is.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-described conventional configuration, the performance of temporary holding depends on the accuracy of the vehicle lamp 90 side and the vehicle body 80 side, and, for example, the boss 92 cannot be inserted into the socket hole 81 to a predetermined position. Mounting becomes impossible, or conversely, the boss 92 is not chucked in the socket hole 81 and temporary holding becomes impossible, and further, the mounting on the vehicle lamp 90 side with the temporary holding performed. There is a problem in that the holes 93 and the screw holes 82 on the vehicle body 80 side are misaligned to make the attachment impossible, and the solution to this problem has been a problem.

In the above-mentioned conventional example, the direction in which the vehicular lamp 90 is temporarily attached and the direction in which it is attached to the vehicle body 80 such as screwing coincide with each other in order to simplify the description and facilitate understanding. As explained in this case, in actual implementation, there are situations where screwing is performed from the side, such as inconsistencies.In such cases, temporary attachment and mounting work may become more difficult, or temporary attachment may occur. There was a situation where the wearing structure itself was not established.

【Example】

 Next, the present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. 1 and 2 is a vehicular lamp according to the present invention, and this vehicular lamp 1 is supposed to be temporarily held when mounted on a vehicle body 20 like the conventional example. However, according to the present invention, the hook 2 is provided at one position above the vehicle lamp 1 in the mounted state.

The hook 2 will be described in more detail. As shown in FIG. 2, the hook 2 extends rearward from the housing 3 of the vehicular lamp 1 toward the rear side, and is substantially horizontally projected like a shelf board 2a. And a boss portion 2b projecting in a direction substantially perpendicular to the base plate portion 2a, that is, in a vertical direction when the vehicle lamp 1 is mounted on the vehicle body 20.

Here, according to the present invention, the position and direction of the hook 2, particularly the boss portion 2b are basically determined based on the position of the center of gravity G of the vehicle lamp 1. 2b positions the vehicular lamp 1 in the same state as when it was attached to the vehicle body 20. In this state, the position is determined so as to substantially coincide with the vertical line passing through the center of gravity G and to be above. At the same time, the boss portion 2b is directed toward the center of gravity G in a direction protruding from the substrate portion 2a.

On the other hand, on the vehicle body 20 side, a shelf plate-shaped hanger portion 21 having a receiving hole 21a into which the boss portion 2b can be inserted is formed. The hanger portion 21 receives the boss portion 2b. In the state of being inserted into 21a, the mounting hole 4 provided in the vehicular lamp 1 and the screw hole 22 provided on the vehicle body 20 side are arranged at the same position. Incidentally, in the actual implementation, the positions and directions of the mounting holes 4 and the screw holes 22 are appropriately changed due to dimensional restrictions on the vehicle body 20 side, as described in the conventional example.

FIG. 3 shows the hook 2 in more detail. The hook 2 is integrally formed on the outer periphery of the lens seal groove 3a of the housing 3, and the base plate 2a has a shelf plate shape. By doing so, it has appropriate elasticity in the plate thickness direction, and the boss portion 2b is provided near the tip thereof.

At this time, the boss portion 2b is formed with a curved surface 2c for facilitating the engagement on the surface on the engagement direction side of the hanger portion 21, and the surface on the opposite side is temporarily engaged. After that, the body-hanging convex portion 2d is formed so as not to easily come off. When it is difficult to integrally form the substrate portion 2a and the boss portion 2b in actual molding, as shown in FIG. 4, the substrate portion 2a side is integrally formed with the housing 3 and the boss portion 2b is formed. The side may be molded separately, and the two, that is, the substrate portion 2a and the boss portion 2b may be integrated by, for example, high frequency welding.

Next, the operation and effect of the present invention having the above-described configuration will be described. The vehicle lamp 1 has a boss portion 2b provided at one position above the center of gravity G at the mounting position. As a result, when the boss portion 2b is to be supported, the boss portion 2b is also suspended like a pendulum, and the suspended state is the mounting position with respect to the vehicle body 20 and the mounting hole 4 and the screw hole. 22 will be matched.

The operational feature of the configuration of the present invention resides in that it is supported in the above-mentioned suspended state. Even if, for example, the mounting hole 4 and the screw hole 22 are inconsistent with each other, the vehicular lamp 1 has the boss. Since the pendulum can be swung freely around the portion 2b as a fulcrum for temporary holding, correction by movement to match the position is extremely easy, which results in assembly accuracy due to component accuracy. Prevent the occurrence of things that cannot be attached.

Further, since the board portion 2a of the hook 2 is formed into a plate shape and has elasticity, for example, in the temporary holding state, the mounting hole 4 and the screw hole 22 cause a general vertical disagreement. In this case, the substrate portion 2a can be made to match by bending, and the stress generated at this time is not transmitted to the lens seal groove 3a. As the seal material 5 filled in the housing is not peeled or cracked, deterioration of the airtightness between the housing 3 and the lens 6 is prevented (see FIG. 3).

In actual practice, in order to provide a greater degree of freedom, the hole diameter of the bearing hole 21a is increased relative to the outer diameter of the boss portion 2b as shown in FIG. In addition to the swinging action and the flexing action described above, it is also possible to allow an appropriate amount of parallel movement to the left and right, and the position at which the boss portion 2b is provided is appropriately determined from the center of gravity G described above. When it is placed on the hanger part 21, it is possible to intentionally incline it so that it will be in the desired direction, for example, in the backward bending state. It is important that it does not come off easily with a little movement of the other parts, and other conditions should be optimized according to the work conditions when assembling.

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the vehicular lamp is provided with the boss at one position above the center of gravity at the mounting position, and the boss temporarily holds the boss on the vehicle body. When the mounting hole on the vehicle lamp side and the screw hole on the vehicle body do not match due to parts precision etc. In addition, it is possible to correct the position extremely easily, and therefore, it is extremely effective in improving the work efficiency of mounting this type of vehicular lamp on the vehicle body.
