[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, especially at night, for example, in the case of a camper, outdoor work or sign board assembly work in an emergency, an appropriate lamp or lighting device is required. Conventional bumper-mounted lamps of this type can exhibit their original lighting function, but they were not intended for the above cases and were limited for a certain purpose.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a bumper-mounted lamp that exhibits an excellent lighting effect and is multifunctional.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems A bumper-mounted lamp according to the present invention is a rotatably supported bumper body, a reflector formed on an inner surface of a concave cutout portion provided in the bumper body, and the cutout. The step main body is provided laterally in the section, and a plurality of bulbs are arranged in a row within the step main body, and illumination can be performed via the reflector by light emission of the bulb.

In particular, the reflector has multiple paraboloids.

Further, the bulb has a plurality of emission colors, and is controlled to be independently turned on for each emission color.

[0009]

[Action]

 According to the bumper-mounted lamp of the present invention, by turning on the bulb, the light is reflected by the reflector to illuminate the area around the bumper. In particular, by forming the reflective surface of the reflector as a multiple parabolic surface, a large reflective surface is secured, and the reflected light is diffused by the reflector itself and the bumper body, so that a wide range around the bumper can be simultaneously and simultaneously achieved. It can be effectively illuminated.

In addition to the original lighting function, the emission colors of the plurality of bulbs are selected as appropriate different colors such as red and transparent, and are independently turned on for each emission color. For example, it functions as an emergency light. Further, by appropriately rotating the bumper main body provided with this reflector, the angle of the illumination light reflected by the reflector can be freely changed. As a result, it is possible to illuminate a desired location, which is extremely convenient when performing various operations.

【Example】

 An embodiment of a bumper-mounted lamp of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. FIG. 1 shows a rear portion of a vehicle equipped with a bumper-mounted lamp of the present invention. In the figure, a bumper body 1 is rotatably supported by a vehicle body (see arrow B in FIG. 2). The bumper body 1 is plated. Further, referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, 2 is a rotation support shaft for supporting the bumper body 1, 3 is a cutout portion formed in a concave shape at the rear portion of the bumper body 1, and 4 is formed on the inner surface of the cutout portion 3. It is a reflector.

The reflector 4 has a large number of paraboloids 4 a arranged side by side in the up-down direction and the left-right direction, and is configured as a reflection surface formed by forming a generally arcuate shape or arcuate shape in these directions. Reference numeral 5 denotes a step main body which is laterally suspended on the excision portion 3, and a step pad 6 made of rubber or polypropylene is attached to at least an upper portion and a rear portion of the step main body 5 as shown in FIG. Has been done.

Further, in FIG. 3, 7 is a plurality of bulbs arranged in a row in the step body 5, 8 is a lens for the bulb 7, and the lens 8 is arranged so as to face the reflector 4. As shown in FIG. 3, the bulb 7 is arranged in the longitudinal direction (horizontal direction) of the step body 5. For example, in this embodiment, the lens 8 is composed of a transparent lens 8a and a red lens 8b. The bulbs 7 corresponding to the transparent lens 8a and the red lens 8b are ON / OFF controlled so as to be independently turned on.

The bumper-mounted lamp of the present invention is configured as described above, and by lighting the bulb 7, the light is reflected by the reflector 4 to illuminate the area around the bumper. In this case, the reflector 4 is formed as a multiple paraboloid by a large number of paraboloids 4a, and as shown in FIG. 3, this ensures a large reflection surface thereof, and at the same time, the reflector 4 itself and the bumper body 1 reflect it. It can diffuse light. Therefore, it is possible to simultaneously and effectively illuminate a wide range around the bumper and the like, and exhibit an excellent illumination effect.

When the bumper-mounted lamp of the present invention is used for illumination, the angle of the illumination light reflected by the reflector 4 can be freely changed by appropriately rotating the bumper body 1. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, by rotating the bumper body 1 in the direction of the arrow B ′ via the rotation support shaft 2, the underfloor of the vehicle can be illuminated brightly, and the underfloor suspension type spare tire It is possible to easily perform replacement work or assembling work of the marking plate in an emergency. In this way, it is possible to illuminate a desired location, and it is extremely convenient when performing various operations.

Further, when the bulb 7 is turned on, illumination of a normal emission color can be performed through the transparent lens 8a, but by turning on the red lens 8b, a red emission color can be obtained. . In particular, when the bulb 7 is turned on via the red lens 8b, it can be configured as a large-sized emergency light, and can be effectively used for ensuring safety when the vehicle is stopped on a highway or the like.

In the above case, since the reflector 4 has a common structure with the bumper body 1, it is possible to obtain the advantage that the bumper-mounted lamp of the present invention can be realized at low cost. Of course, the step body 5 provided on the bumper body 1 can be effectively used as a leg stand by itself, but at that time, the bumper body 1 is not polluted and the vehicle roof portion or the interior of the luggage compartment is not polluted. You can easily put in and take out luggage from the department.

In the above-described embodiment, the lens 8 can be selected in an appropriate color other than red or transparent, and if necessary, two or more lenses 8 may be provided, which is similar to the above-described embodiment. The effect can be obtained. Further, instead of the paraboloid 4a which should constitute the reflector 4, it is possible to use an appropriate quadric surface or the like.

[0019]

As described above, according to the bumper-mounted lamp of the present invention, it is possible to effectively illuminate a wide range, and it has an excellent illumination function. Further, by freely adjusting the illumination direction, there are advantages that the illumination effect can be effectively exerted, and in addition to the original illumination function, it has multi-functionality as an emergency light.
