Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a rear spoiler attached to the body of an automobile.

[Prior Art] Numerous efforts have been made to improve the driving performance of automobiles, one of which is to stabilize the vehicle by rectifying the vortices of airflow that occur behind the vehicle while it is running. In addition, a rear spoiler made of foamed urethane was attached to the rear edge of the roof, the upper or lower edge of the back door, and the rear edge of the trunk lid.

In addition, in order to improve the safety of automobiles, a stop lamp, such as a light fixture called a high-mounted stop lamp, is placed in a high position at the rear of the vehicle interior, so that the driver of the following car can see the next operation of the vehicle. In other words, it is designed to quickly transmit braking (braking).

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Therefore, the applicant considered a rear spoiler that has the functions of both a spoiler and a light for a transmission means, that is, a rear spoiler equipped with a light, but also considered a general-purpose rear spoiler. In this case, the slope of the rear spoiler mounting surface on the outside of the car body differs depending on the car model, so the optical axis of the light with respect to the ground surface is not constant, resulting in uneven visibility of the light from the rear. It was hot.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and includes a rear projecting end of the spoiler body with a length that opens rearward along the rear projecting end. A length-long groove is provided, and the lamp is mounted in the groove so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction by a rotation shaft, and an adjusting screw is attached to the lamp and screwed into the reinforcing frame in the spoiler body. By making the irradiation direction adjustable, the above drawbacks are overcome.

[Function] In the present invention, the angle of the optical axis is adjusted so that a certain level of visibility can be obtained regardless of the inclination of the rear spoiler mounting surface of the vehicle body.

[Example] Next, the present invention will be described in detail based on an example shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 indicates a rear spoiler that is attached to the trunk lid of an automobile.The rear spoiler 1 has a concave groove 1 that is open toward the rear at the rear projecting end.
1 is formed extending in the longitudinal direction. Reference numeral 2 denotes a lamp inserted into the groove 11, and the lamp 2 includes a substrate 21 on which a plurality of bulbs 20 are mounted in a row inside a lens case 22 having a substantially U-shaped cross section. It is. Reference numeral 3 denotes a spoiler reinforcing frame installed inside the rear spoiler 1 over the interior and front side. The adjuster plate 4 provided on the lower surface of the lamp 2 is connected to the spoiler reinforcing frame 3 via the screw 5, and the spoiler reinforcing frame 3 supports the lamp 2.

As shown in FIG. 3, the adjusting plate 4 has a groove 40 with a curvature R, and a screw insertion hole 41 is opened in the center of the groove 40. As shown in FIG. Then, a spacer 6 having a curved side surface is joined to the groove 40, and the adjusting screw 5 passes through the screw insertion hole 60 provided at the center of the spacer 6 and the screw insertion hole 41, and It is screwed into the spoiler reinforcing frame 3. Furthermore, a compression spring 7 is provided between the spoiler reinforcing frame 3 and the adjusting plate 4, and constantly presses the adjusting plate 4 outward.

As shown in FIG. 4, the lens case 22 of the lamp 2 is provided with support bosses 23 protruding from both left and right sides, which are engaged with recesses (not shown) provided in the left and right side walls of the groove 11. It has stopped. By adjusting the rotation of the adjusting screw 5, the adjusting screw 5 is rotated in the vertical direction about the support boss 23. When the adjusting screw 5 is tightened, the optical axis of the lamp 2 is tilted downward. When the adjustment screw 5 is loosened, the compression spring 70 causes the lamp 2 to rotate upward following the adjustment screw 5, and the optical axis is tilted upward. Said light fixture 2
The upper tongue piece part 12 and the lower tongue piece part 13 that are provided on the upper and lower surfaces are flexible and continue to be placed in contact with each other following the rotation of the lamp 2, thereby concealing the inside of the recess 11. That's what I'm doing.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, the optical axis can be adjusted by rotating the lamp using the adjustment screw, regardless of the inclination of the mounting surface of the rear spoiler due to the shape of the vehicle body, for example. It has excellent practical effects, such as being able to set the slope to the best angle for viewing from the following vehicle, and providing a lamp with uniform and best visibility without limiting the type of vehicle it is installed on. be.
