Abstract

An emblem device includes an air bag cover, a substrate mounted inside the air bag cover, a light source mounted on the substrate and configured to emit light, a light guide plate mounted outside the air bag cover and configured to diffuse the light emitted from the light source, and an emblem located in front of the light guide plate and configured to cover a part of the light guide plate. The light emitted from the light guide plate is emitted in front of the emblem through a space formed between the air bag cover and the emblem.

1. An emblem device for a vehicle, the emblem device comprising:

an air bag cover;

a substrate mounted inside the air bag cover;

a light source mounted on the substrate and configured to emit light;

a light guide plate mounted outside the air bag cover and configured to diffuse the light emitted from the light source; and

an emblem located in front of the light guide plate and configured to cover a part of the light guide plate,

wherein the light emitted from the light guide plate is emitted in front of the emblem through a space formed between the air bag cover and the emblem,

wherein the emblem comprises:

an emblem body; and

one or more emblem mounting protrusions protruding from the emblem body to one side and coupled to the substrate by passing through the light guide plate, the air bag cover, and the substrate.

2. The emblem device of claim 1 , wherein

a light guide plate body coming into contact with the emblem body and including third through holes through which the emblem mounting protrusions pass, respectively; and

light guide plate blocks protruding from the light guide plate body to one side and coming into contact with the light source.

9. An emblem device for a vehicle, the emblem device comprising:

an air bag cover;

a substrate mounted inside the air bag cover;

a light source mounted on the substrate and configured to emit light;

a light guide plate mounted outside the air bag cover and configured to diffuse the light emitted from the light source; and

an emblem located in front of the light source and including a light blocking portion configured to cover the light guide plate and a light transmission portion connected to the light blocking portion and configured to allow the light emitted from the light guide plate to pass therethrough,

wherein the emblem comprises:

an emblem body including the light blocking portion and the light transmission portion; and

emblem mounting protrusions protruding from the emblem body to one side and coupled to the substrate by passing through the light guide plate, the air bag cover, and the substrate.
