Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] When a conventional vehicular lamp is mounted on a vehicle body with a screw, the mounting structure provided on the vehicular lamp side has only one seat surface. When such attachment is performed, there is a problem in that the holding force is extremely reduced, resulting in defective attachment. According to the present invention, the seat surface for receiving the head 11 of the screw 10 is provided with a regular mounting seat surface 5 and an inclined mounting seat surface 6 which is a seat surface inclined with respect to the regular mounting seat surface 5. With the mounting structure of the vehicular lamp 1 that has been installed, even when some of the screws 10 have to be mounted in a tilted manner, the regular mounting seat surface 5 and the slanted mounting seat surface 6 can be used. The same holding force is applied to both attachments to solve the problem.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a mounting structure for mounting a vehicle lamp on a vehicle body, and more particularly to a mounting structure provided on the vehicle lamp side when mounting the vehicle lamp on the vehicle body with a screw. Is.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 An example of this type of conventional mounting structure is shown in FIG. 4, in which a housing 91 of a vehicle lamp 90 is provided with a flat plate-shaped mounting rib 92 having a predetermined thickness, and the mounting rib 92 is mounted on the mounting rib 92. Is provided with a mounting hole 93, and the vehicle lamp 90 is mounted by penetrating the mounting hole 93 and screwing the screw 10 onto the vehicle body 20. Therefore, with respect to the head 11 of the screw 10, One surface 92a of the mounting rib 92 serves as a seat surface.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, when the above-mentioned mounting is performed, even in the vehicular lamp 90 having the same shape, the screw 10 has to be mounted with an inclination as shown in FIG. 5 due to, for example, a difference in grade within the vehicle type. In such a case, the contact surface area between the head portion 11 of the screw 10 and the mounting rib 92 is extremely reduced, and the holding force is insufficient. The vibration causes the screw 10 to fall off, causing a problem that the vehicular lamp 90 is improperly attached.

As a solution to this problem, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, a housing 91 in which a seat surface 93 having an appropriate angle with respect to the inserting direction of the screw 10 is provided on the mounting rib 92 is prepared, It is conceivable to select and mount the vehicular lamp 90 that employs the housing 91 provided with the seat surface 94 for the above-mentioned screw 10 that is inclined and mounted. In this case, two types of housing 91 are used. There is a problem of cost increase such as enormous die cost for preparing a vehicle, and two kinds of housings 91 exist in the production line of the vehicle lamp 90 of the same shape, which causes confusion. It was impossible to implement due to problems, and it could never be a fundamental solution.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As a concrete means for solving the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention provides a mounting structure provided on the vehicle lamp side when mounting the vehicle lamp on a vehicle body with a screw, wherein the vehicle lamp is provided with The seat surface for receiving the head of the screw is provided with a regular mounting seat surface and an inclined mounting seat surface that is a seat surface inclined with respect to the regular mounting seat surface. The problem is solved by providing a mounting structure.

[0006]

【Example】

 Next, the present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. Reference numeral 1 in FIG. 1 denotes a vehicular lamp. A mounting rib 4 provided in a housing 2 of the vehicular lamp 1 has a mounting hole 4 through which the vehicle body 20 is screwed. The structure is similar to that of the conventional example in that the structure is such that the screw 10 to be attached is used, but according to the present invention, a boss 7 is provided around the mounting hole 4 and the top of the boss 7 is provided. The surface is provided with two seat surfaces, a regular mounting seat surface 5 and an inclined mounting seat surface 6.

Next, the seating surface will be described in more detail. First, the regular mounting seating surface 5 is provided first, and the regular mounting seating surface 5 is orthogonal to the mounting rib 3 and the vehicle body 20. It is formed so as to correspond to the screw 10 that is screwed to the. The boss 7 is used when the regular mounting seat surface 5 is formed. It is formed in a state of being moved in the insertion direction of the screw 10 by an appropriate height H.

One of the inclined mounting seat surfaces 6 is a surface orthogonal to the screw 10 in the case where the boss 7 is inclined and screwed, and is formed by cutting the boss 7 by an inclined surface. The regular mounting seat surface 5 is connected to the center line of the boss 7. Therefore, the regular mounting seat surface 5 is formed on one half of the top surface of the boss 7, and the inclined mounting seat surface 6 is formed on the other half. Is being formed.

As described above, since the inclined mounting seat surface 6 is formed by cutting the boss 7 on the inclined surface, the height H of the boss 7 is sufficient to form the inclined mounting seat surface 6. And is determined by the degree of inclination of the inclined mounting seat surface 6 from the regular mounting seat surface 5.

Next, the operation and effect of the mounting structure of the present invention having the above-described structure will be described. According to the present invention, the regular mounting seat surface 5 is formed on one half of the top surface of the boss 7, and the remaining half is formed. Since the inclined mounting seat surface 6 is formed, the screw 10 is mounted even when the head 11 contacts the regular mounting seat surface 5 as shown in FIG. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, even when the head 11 is attached to the inclined mounting seat surface 6, the seat surfaces 5 and 6 having an area of about 50% with respect to the head 11 are prepared. The same holding force is applied in both mounting directions.

[0011]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the seat surface for receiving the head of the screw is provided with the regular mounting seat surface and the inclined mounting seat surface which is the seat surface inclined with respect to the regular mounting seat surface. Due to the mounting structure of the vehicular lamps, some of the vehicular lamps of the same shape have to be mounted with tilted screws due to differences in grades within the vehicle type. In this case, the normal mounting seat surface and the inclined mounting seat surface provide a seat surface of the same area for both mountings, which makes it extremely easy for one of the mounting means to have an extremely low holding force and cause mounting failure. It solves such problems as above and has an extremely excellent effect in improving reliability.

Further, by implementing the present invention, the housing is common to both the vehicular lamp with the proper mounting means and the vehicular lamp with the tilting mounting means, which makes it possible to integrate the molds. The cost can be reduced, the number of parts can be reduced, and the productivity can be improved.
