Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a fog lamp for automobiles.

<Prior Art> Automotive fog lamps may or may not require a shade, depending on the standards of the destination (export destination).

When assembling a shade, conventionally the shade was attached to the reflector by caulking or screwing, so when attaching the shade to the reflector, it was easy to damage the reflective surface, and the attachment part of the shade was also attached to the reflector. A portion of the mirror is obscured, which reduces the area of the effective reflecting surface, and when the reflecting mirror is small, it becomes difficult to incorporate the shade.

Furthermore, for destinations where it is not necessary to incorporate a shade, a separate reflector must be prepared from the one that requires a shade to be incorporated, resulting in an increase in parts costs.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> The present invention was made in view of these conventional problems, and by attaching and supporting the shade at a location other than the reflector, all of the above-mentioned problems can be solved. The purpose is to provide fog lamps for automobiles.

<Means for solving the problem> The fog lamp for automobiles of the present invention that achieves the above purpose has the following features: a yellow globe is attached to the socket fixture with a holder ring, and a shade is integrally attached to the holder ring. This is a characteristic feature.

<Example> Hereinafter, an example of implementing the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a lamp body, in which a reflector 2, a bulb 3, a yellow globe 4, and a shade 5 are installed, and a front lens 6 is installed in the front opening to constitute a fog lamp.

Then, a socket fixture 7 is fixed to the rear opening 2a of the reflecting mirror 2, and the socket 8 of the bulb 3, the yellow globe 4, and the shade 5 are supported by the socket fixture 7. That is, the socket fixture 7 is formed by press-molding a metal plate and includes a mounting part 7a that is screwed to the rear opening 2a of the reflecting mirror 2, and a mounting seat 7b that is bulged into a short cylindrical shape with a substantially convex cross section. The socket 8 of the valve 3 is mounted on the inside of the mounting seat 7b and detachably attached with a set spring 9, and the socket 8 of the valve 3 is mounted on the outside of the mounting seat 7b via a gasket 10. The yellow glove 4 is mounted and fixed with a holder ring 11, and the shade 5 is integrally attached and supported on the holder ring 11.

The holder ring 11 is formed into a short cylindrical shape that can be fitted onto the outer periphery of the mounting seat 7b of the socket fixture 7, and the engaging flange 4a of the yellow globe 4.
An engaging flange 11a is formed to support the engaging flange 11a.
The mounting leg 5a of the shade 5 is integrally attached by means such as welding, and fixed to the mounting seat 7b of the socket fixture 7 by caulking. In the figure, 11c is a caulking portion that is caulked to the engagement recess 12 formed in the mounting seat 7b of the socket fixture 7;
is a positioning protrusion that engages with a positioning recess 14 formed in the mounting seat 7b of the socket fixture 7.

When assembling, the socket fixture 7 is fixed to the rear opening 2a of the reflecting mirror 2 with screws, etc., and the yellow globe 4 is attached to the outside of the mounting seat 7b of the socket fixture 7 via the gasket 10. At the same time, the holder ring 11 to which the shade 5 is integrally attached is caulked and fixed to the mounting seat 7b of the socket fixture 7, and the yellow glove 4 is mounted on the mounting seat 7b of the socket fixture 7. After that, the mounting seat 7b of the socket fixture 7
Place the socket 8 of the valve 3 on the inside and hold the flange 8 of the socket 8 with the set spring 9.
This is to press and support a.

<Effects of the invention> Since the fog lamp for automobiles of the present invention is constructed in this way, the yellow globe and shade can be attached and supported by the socket fixture, unlike the conventional example in which the shade is attached to the reflector. All problems such as damaging the reflecting surface of the reflecting mirror or reducing the area of the reflecting surface can be eliminated, and even if the reflecting mirror is small, the shade can be easily incorporated.

Moreover, the inventive automotive fog lamp can be configured as a headlamp with a shade by attaching the shaded holder ring to the socket fixture without wearing yellow gloves, and the holder ring with the shade removed can also be used as a yellow glove. By attaching the globe to the socket fixture, a shadeless fog lamp can be constructed. Therefore, depending on the standards of the destination (export destination), some require a shade, some do not, and others require a yellow glove. Most parts can be made common when configuring unnecessary items, resulting in a significant cost reduction.

Therefore, the intended purpose can be achieved.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

The drawings show an example of the implementation of the present invention, with FIG. 1 being a sectional view and FIG. 2 being an exploded perspective view of the main parts. In the figure, 4 is yellow glove, 5 is shade,
