Abstract
A vehicle light device structure includes a headlight, a blinker, a front cover, and a light shielding plate. The blinker includes a light source, a reflector, and a blinker lens. The light shielding plate is to block, among light emitted from the blinker, part of the light emitted towards the headlight. The blinker inner space is formed by fixedly supporting the blinker lens by the reflector. Part of the blinker inner space bulges to a more outer side than the second side in the front view and is covered by the front cover. The light shielding plate is arranged inside the blinker lens and is fixedly supported by a light shielding plate support part arranged in a bulging space which is the part of the blinker inner space.
Claims14
A vehicle light device structure comprising:
- a headlight;
- a blinker arranged adjacently to the headlight, the blinker comprising:
- a light source;
- a reflector arranged behind the light source to reflect light from the light source to a front of the vehicle;
- an outer lens arranged in front of the light source and fixedly supported by the reflector;
- and
- an inner lens;
- a front cover including an opening part and covering surroundings of the blinker to expose the outer lens to outside of the vehicle light device structure from the opening part;
- and
- a light shielding plate to block, among light emitted from the blinker, part of the light emitted towards the headlight, the outer lens including an outer lens exterior part exposed to the outside in a front view of the vehicle light device structure, the outer lens exterior part being located on a side of the headlight and including a first side and a second side, the first side extending along an outline of the headlight, the second side extending from the first side to be away from the headlight and extending along an edge part of the opening part, a blinker inner space being formed by fixedly supporting the outer lens by the reflector, part of the blinker inner space bulging to a more outer side of the vehicle than the second side in the front view and being covered by the front cover so as to form a bulging space disposed in front of the reflector in a direction toward the front of the vehicle, the light shielding plate being arranged inside the outer lens and being fixedly supported by a light shielding plate support part arranged in the bulging space which is the part of the blinker inner space,
- wherein a portion of the light shielding plate is disposed between the inner lens and the outer lens in the direction toward the front of the vehicle and in the bulging space, the portion of the light shielding plate being disposed in the bulging space.
A vehicle light device structure comprising:
- a headlight;
- a blinker arranged adjacently to the headlight, the blinker comprising:
- a light source;
- a reflector arranged behind the light source to reflect light from the light source to a front of the vehicle;
- an outer lens arranged in front of the light source and fixedly supported by the reflector;
- and
- an inner lens;
- a front cover including an opening part and covering surroundings of the blinker to expose the outer lens to outside of the vehicle light device structure from the opening part;
- and
- a light shielding plate to block, among light emitted from the blinker, part of the light emitted towards the headlight, the light shielding plate having a light shielding plate main body and a support stay, the outer lens including an outer lens exterior part exposed to the outside in a front view of the vehicle light device structure, the outer lens exterior part being located on a side of the headlight and including a first side and a second side, the first side extending along an outline of the headlight, the second side extending from the first side to be away from the headlight and extending along an edge part of the opening part, a blinker inner space being formed by fixedly supporting the outer lens by the reflector, part of the blinker inner space bulging to a more outer side of the vehicle than the second side in the front view and being covered by the front cover so as to form a bulging space, the light shielding plate being arranged inside the outer lens and being fixedly supported by a light shielding plate support part arranged in the bulging space which is the part of the blinker inner space,
- wherein the light shielding plate main body and the support stay are disposed at opposing positions relative to the second side.
