Abstract

A vanity lamp is inserted such that a flange is in close contact with an edge of a mounting hole formed in a surface of a headliner, and a wing is rotated to be in close contact with the surface of the headliner to perform provisional assembling such that an edge portion of the mounting hole is provisionally assembled between the flange and the wing, thereby provisionally assembling the vanity lamp to the headliner without additionally mounting a lamp plate. Particularly, the wing is formed on the vanity lamp to be forcibly rotated, and a ledge is formed on a foldable central portion such that the wing is hooked on the ledge while facing the flange, and thereby anyone can easily and conveniently perform assembly by easily provisionally assembling the vanity lamp in the mounting hole.

Claims (8)

1. A vehicle vanity lamp installed to be inserted to pass through a mounting hole ( 11 ), which is formed to pass through the headliner ( 10 ), from an interior of a vehicle, the vehicle vanity lamp comprising:

a flange ( 110 ) formed on an edge portion exposed to the interior of the vehicle to protrude and be caught on an edge of the mounting hole ( 11 );

at least two wings ( 120 ) formed on the vanity lamp at locations a predetermined distance from the flange ( 110 ) to be folded to face the flange ( 110 ) or unfolded; and

a ledge ( 130 ) over which the wing ( 120 ) forcibly passes such that the wing ( 120 ) is supportively fixed in close contact with a surface of the headliner when the wing ( 120 ) passing through the mounting hole ( 11 ) is bent toward the surface of the headliner ( 10 ) in a state in which the flange ( 110 ) is installed in close contact with an edge of the mounting hole ( 11 ),

wherein the vehicle vanity lamp is provisionally coupled to the mounting hole ( 11 ).

2. The vehicle vanity lamp of claim 1 , wherein the two wings ( 120 ) are formed on edges of the vanity lamp at facing locations.

3. The vehicle vanity lamp of claim 2 , wherein a height (H) from the flange ( 110 ) to the wing ( 120 ) is smaller than a thickness of the headliner ( 10 ) such that the wing ( 120 ) forcibly presses the surface of the headliner ( 10 ).

4. The vehicle vanity lamp of claim 1 wherein a height (H) from the flange ( 110 ) to the wing ( 120 ) is smaller than a thickness of the headliner ( 10 ) such that the wing ( 120 ) forcibly presses the surface of the headliner ( 10 ).
