Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

To reliably fix a bus bar for connecting a lamp bulb to a lens side with sufficient workability and with a simple structure.

The structure comprises a lens 9 for transmitting light of a bulb 21 for illumination, a connector housing 10 provided to the lens, and a pair of bus bars 1, 2 having contact spring parts 4 contacting a terminal part 21a of the bulb. Each of the pair of the bus bars has a terminal 3 and a fixing part 6 continued to the terminal. The connector housing has a fixing structure of a bus bar for connecting a lamp bulb, comprising: slits 11, through which the terminals are inserted and arranged in a connector fitting chamber 25; and recesses 12 continued to the slits and engaging the fixing parts. An inner width W1 of the recess 12 is set smaller than an outer width W2 of the fixing part 6, and the fixing part is press-fitted in the recess. The fixing part 6 is constituted with a support plate part 7 orthogonal to the terminal 3, and a press plate part 8 orthogonal to the support plate part. The press plate part 8 is folded and constituted in a two-layered form.
