The backup lamp mounting portion is integrally formed on the back surface of the lamp, and has a support wall portion having a screw locking hole in the center thereof, and a bulb support plate fixed to the support wall portion with one screw. And the connector mounting portion is formed in a rectangular tube shape and integrally molded with the valve support plate, and Is a support box part that fits and supports the female part, and a locking part is provided in one opening of the support box part to prevent the connector fitted inside from falling off from this one opening. A locking claw is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the box portion, and a locked claw for locking the locking claw is provided on the connector.

<< Operation >> In the connector mounting structure for a vehicular lamp having the above configuration, the support box portion is fixed at the same time by fixing the valve support plate to the fixed box portion with one screw. As a result, the work for fixing each member is simplified and the workability is improved.

<< Embodiment >> An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The connector mounting structure of the vehicular lamp of the present invention is almost the same as the above-mentioned conventional connector mounting structure.
As shown in FIG. 4, a tail stop lamp 21 and a dummy portion 22 are provided on the upper side, and a turn signal lamp 23 and a backup lamp 24 are provided on the lower side.

Then, the lamp bulbs 26, 27 of the tail stop lamp 21 and the turn signal lamp 23 of the vehicle lamp are inflated to cover the reflectors (not shown) by inflating the portions of the lamps 21, 23 on the rear surface of the lamp or by the reflectors themselves. Housing 28 formed as a socket 26a, 27a
Is inserted and attached.

The lamp bulb 29 of the backup lamp 24 is inserted from the upper side on the rear surface of the lamp. Specifically, the backup lamp mounting portion 30 is formed integrally with the housing 28 on the rear surface of the lamp so as to cover both sides and the lower side of the lamp bulb 29, and the screw locking hole 31a is formed in the lower center portion thereof. It comprises a support wall portion 31 provided with (see FIG. 1) and a valve support plate 33 into which the socket 29a of the lamp bulb 29 is inserted and which is attached to the support wall portion 31 with a screw 32.

As shown in FIG. 1, a support box portion 34, which is a connector mounting portion, is integrally formed with the valve support plate 33. Then, the support box portion 34 is formed in a square tube shape,
The male portion 35a of the connector 35 is fitted therein. One opening 34a of the support box portion 34 is provided with a locking portion 36 formed by extending both sides in the longitudinal direction of the opening 34a inward. By this locking portion 36, the support box portion 34
The male portion 35a of the connector 35 fitted inside is provided with one opening 34a.
It doesn't fall out. Support box part 34
As shown in FIG. 2, a locking claw 37 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the connector 35.
A locked claw 38 for locking the locking claw 37 is provided at a position corresponding to the locking claw 37 of 4.

In the vehicular lamp configured as described above, when the connector 35 is attached to the housing 28 on the rear surface of the lamp, first, the male portion 35a of the connector 35 is fitted into the support box portion 34. The male portion 35a is inserted from the other opening 34b of the support box portion 34 and is inserted until it abuts on the locking portion 36 of the one opening 34a. As a result, the male portion 35a is supported on the opening 34a side by the locking portion 36, and the locking claw 37 of the support box portion 34 is locked by the locked claw 38 of the male portion 35a, thereby opening the opening. 3
The 4b side is supported.

In this state, the valve support plate 33 is fixed to the support wall portion 31 with one screw 32. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, the support box portion 34 supporting the valve support plate 33 and the male portion 35a of the connector 35 is easily and reliably attached to the housing 28. Reference numeral 40 in the figure denotes a support protrusion that supports the support box portion 34.

Further, in the present embodiment, the male portion 35a of the connector 35 is supported by the support box portion 34, but the female portion of the connector 35 may be supported. Also in this case, the same operation as in the above embodiment,
It is possible to exert an effect.

<< Advantages of the Invention >> As described above, according to the connector mounting structure of the vehicle lamp of the present invention, the valve box is fixed to the supporting wall portion by one screw, so that the supporting box portion is simultaneously fixed. It This has the advantage that the work for fixing each member is simplified and the workability is improved.
