Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable each type of an end rubber to be used by forcibly ventilating a high-mounting stoplamp fitted to the rear window glass of a vehicle. CONSTITUTION:Regarding a fitting structure for a high-mounting stoplamp 2 to be laid on window glass 3 as the upper section of a vehicle door panel 4 having a ventilation hole 11 inside a body and an air breathing hole at a lower position, a communication hole 15 is formed through the upper section of the door panel 4, so that space 16 cellularized on the winnow glass 3 related to the installation of the lamp 2 is communicated with the inside of a door via the communication hole 15. Also, an air flow is forcibly generated in the holes 11 and 12, using the air pressure in a cabin resulting from the closure of the door, thereby enabling the lamp 2 to be ventilated via the hole 15. Since the ventilation is allowed, the lamp 2 can be properly mounted on the glass 3 via an end rubber.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a high mount stop lamp arranged on a windshield above an automobile door panel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 3, a high mount stop lamp 2 installed at a rear portion of an automobile 1 may be disposed inside a wind glass 3. At this time,
Installed with a gap so that the edge 2a (see FIG. 4) of the high mount stop lamp 2 does not come into contact with the window glass 3, or an end rubber is attached to this edge 2a so as to be in close contact with the window glass 3. There is something to do.

For example, the mounting structure of the high mount stop lamp 2 shown in FIG.
The edge portions 2a of the above are spaced apart from each other on the window glass 3 provided on the upper portion of the door panel 4, and the housing 5 is fixed via the bracket 6. A lamp body 7 is mounted inside the housing 5, and a lens plate 8 is provided in front of the lamp body 7.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, an end rubber is attached to the edge portion 2a of the high mount stop lamp 2 so as to be closely attached to the wind glass 3. This closed type mounting structure is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-145733 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-104841.

[0005]

However, since the one shown in FIG. 5 does not have a gap communicating with the outside between the window glass 3 and the lens plate 8, it cannot be ventilated and the direct sunlight can pass through the glass. If it hits, the end rubber will become hot and gas will be generated. In order to prevent fogging and bloom generated from this end rubber, the vulcanization conditions are severe, and a special rubber is used for the end rubber, resulting in high cost.

In addition, since the one shown in FIG. 4 allows ventilation between the window glass 3 and the lens plate 8, there is no cost as described above, but there is a problem such as light leakage, and the window glass 3 and the high glass. Edge 2a of mount stop lamp 2
In order to prevent the interference with the bracket 6, the strength of the bracket 6 and the washer portion is increased, resulting in an increase in cost.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a mounting structure for a high mount stop lamp which can be installed stably at low cost.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a ventilation hole communicating with the inside of the door on the side surface of the door inner panel stretched inside the door panel of the automobile. In a mounting structure of a high mount stop lamp having an air vent hole below and arranged in a window glass at an upper portion of the door panel, a communication hole is formed at an upper portion of the door panel, and a high mount stop lamp is installed on the wind glass. The space defined by the above is communicated with the inside of the door through the communication hole.

[0009]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, when the high mount stop lamp is attached, the space defined on the window glass communicates with the inside of the door through the communication hole. Here, the air flow of the air conditioning in the vehicle passes through the ventilation hole and the air vent hole, and at this time, the air in the defined space is exchanged, and the high mount stop lamp can be ventilated.

Further, by opening and closing the door, in particular, by utilizing the air pressure inside the vehicle when the door is closed, the air flow is forcibly caused between the ventilation hole and the air vent hole, so that the high pressure is achieved through the communication hole. Ventilation of the mount stop lamp can be performed.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a door inner panel 9 is stretched on an inner side surface of a door panel 4 of an automobile, and a trim 10 is fixed to the door inner panel 9. A ventilation hole 11 communicating with the inside of the door is provided at this location. An air vent hole 12 is formed in the lower part of the inside of the door, and a panel 14 is connected to a side of the air vent hole 12 via a weather strip 13. A communication hole 15 is formed in the upper part of the door panel 4.

The high mount stop lamp 2 is arranged on the window glass 3 above the door panel 4, and the end rubber provided on the edge portion 2a of the high mount stop lamp 2 has an annular portion connecting the window glass 3 and the door inner panel 9. It is designed to be sealed. Therefore, the space 16 defined on the window glass 3 when the high mount stop lamp 2 is attached is communicated with the inside of the door through the communication hole 15.

In such a structure, the ventilation hole 11 is usually used.
A slight air flow occurs between the air vent hole 12 and the air vent hole 12 due to air conditioning inside the vehicle. This also allows ventilation of the high mount stop lamp 2, but when the front door or the back door is closed, the pressure inside the vehicle rises and the air flows into the ventilation holes.
Flows from 11 to the air vent hole 12. At this time, due to the fluctuation of the air pressure, the air containing the gas between the lens plate 8 and the window glass 3 can be forcibly replaced through the communication hole 15. Then, by replacing the air between the lens plate 8 and the window glass 3, it is possible to discharge the gas of fogging or bloom.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, ventilation may be further promoted by forming a hole 17 in the upper portion of the end rubber provided on the edge portion 2a of the high mount stop lamp 2. Further, with such a structure, it is possible to attach it to the side body.

[0015]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to ventilate the defined space when the high mount stop lamp is attached, so that it is possible to use a rubber such as an end rubber to enhance the ventilation. The mount stop lamp can be brought into contact with the windshield to securely fix it and obtain stability. Further, it is not necessary to use an expensive kind of rubber, various kinds of rubber can be used, and the cost can be advantageously developed. In addition, since the wind glass does not fog, it is easy to see.
