Abstract
The present invention comprises a semiconductor-type light source, a lens, a lens holder, and a heat sink member. Positioning sections are provided in the lens and the lens holder, respectively. The positioning section in the lens holder comprises a pressing section and a positioning surface. The positioning section in the lens comprises a protrusion-receiving section and a positioning protrusion section. As a result, the present invention is capable of accurately positioning the lens, relative to the lens holder, in the standard optical axis direction of the lens.
Claims7
A lamp for vehicles, comprising:
- a light source;
- a lens to emit light from the light source to an outside;
- a lens holder to hold the lens;
- and
- a mounting member to which the light source and the lens holder are mounted,
- wherein, at the lens and the lens holder, positioning sections to position the lens in a reference optical axis direction of the lens are respectively provided,
- wherein the positioning sections of the lens holder each are composed of
- a pressing section to press the lens in one direction of the reference optical axis direction;
- and
- a positioning surface which is provided to be orthogonal to or substantially orthogonal to the reference optical axis direction, and
- wherein the positioning sections of the lens each are composed of
- a receiving section to receive a pressing force of the pressing section;
- and
- a positioning abutment section to abut against the positioning surface by way of the pressing force of the pressing section that is received at the receiving section.
A lamp for vehicles, comprising:
- a light source;
- a lens to emit light from the light source to an outside;
- a lens holder to hold the lens;
- and
- a mounting member to which the light source and the lens holder are mounted,
- wherein, at the lens and the lens holder, a positioning section to determine a position of the lens and a gap narrowing section to narrow a gap of the positioning section are respectively provided,
- wherein the gap narrowing section is composed of:
- a receiving surface;
- and a protrusion to come into elastic contact with the receiving surface and narrow the gap of the positioning section, and
- wherein an opening section is provided in a close vicinity of the protrusion.
