2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing a conventional example of a vehicular lamp having a structure in which a leg of a thermoplastic resin lens is fixed to a front opening of a lamp housing made of a thermoplastic resin. It corresponds to the front of the lamp. Around the front opening of the lamp housing 1, there are formed peripheral grooves 1a and 1b that are concave toward the front of the lamp. On the other hand, the lens legs 2a, 2b project from the back of the lens 2 toward the rear of the lamp, and the lens legs 2a, 2b are respectively provided in the peripheral grooves 1a,
1b. In the above configuration, as a means for fixing the lens 2 to the lamp housing 1, adhesion and vibration welding are used. The above-mentioned bonding is the most common means, and is performed by melting a hot melt (not shown), which is a heat-softening adhesive, to form the peripheral grooves 1a, 1a.
b, and the lens legs 2a and 2b are inserted therein, allowed to cool, and then solidified to bond both members.
Vibration welding is a recently developed technique, which will be described below with reference to the conventional example of FIG. That is,
The lens 2 of this example is an elongated lens used for a rear combination lamp for an automobile and has two sides parallel to the longitudinal direction. The lens legs 2a and 2b are provided along each of the two parallel sides. FIG. 4 shows a cross section of the lens legs 2a and 2b. When this is considered three-dimensionally, it is a member that is long in the depth direction of the paper surface.
They are almost parallel to each other. When these members are reciprocated in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing while applying pressure in a direction in which the lamp housing 1 and the lens 2 are brought into close contact with each other,
The tip of the lens leg and the bottom of the peripheral groove are welded due to frictional heating. In the case of welding the lens of the vehicular lamp, the above-mentioned reciprocating motion has an appropriate frequency of several hundred hertz and an amplitude of several millimeters. An error of about 10 degrees is allowed in the parallelism of the two lens legs, and vibration is given in the longitudinal direction of the lens legs.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present inventor has paid attention to the advancement of vibration welding technology, and has studied and applied it to fixing a lamp housing and a lens in a vehicular lamp. It was confirmed that there was a problem as described above. a) Generation of burrs b) Error in welding position c) Deformation and cracking of lens legs Hereinafter, the above a) to c) will be described respectively. FIG.
4A is a view for explaining a problem relating to vibration welding of a lens, and FIG. 4A is a cross-sectional view of a portion where a lens leg is in contact with a bottom surface of a peripheral groove in the conventional example shown in FIG. (B) and (C) are cross-sectional views of the vicinity of a contact portion between a lens leg and a peripheral groove in an embodiment of the present invention. These figures are schematically drawn to show the basic structure and operation, and are not necessarily realistic projection figures. (See FIG. 5A.) The width dimension W 1 of the tip of the lens leg 2a is smaller than the width dimension W 2 of the bottom surface of the peripheral groove 1a.
Therefore, the lens 2 is not positioned with respect to the lamp housing 1. As a result, the accuracy of the welding position of the lens 2 is not good. When the tip of the lens leg and the bottom of the peripheral groove are welded by friction, heat generation, fusion, and are welded, the arrow d,
Burrs occur in the d 'direction. However, as described above, since the position of the lens leg 2a with respect to the peripheral groove 1a is indefinite, the burrs in the directions of the arrows d and d 'are not uniform, which makes the appearance poor and reduces the commercial value, which is not preferable.

(See FIG. 4.) In order to cause friction between the lens legs 2a, 2b and the groove bottoms of the peripheral grooves 1a, 1b, vibration welding is performed under pressure. For this reason, bending is applied to the lens legs 2a and 2b, and deformation occurs. The direction of the deformation is
It cannot be said unconditionally because it is affected by the state of the pressing force, the rigidity of the related members, the thermal stress, and the like. However, according to the experiment of the present inventor, the lens leg 2a has a lens shape like 2e shown by a virtual line. The legs 2b are very often deformed toward the inside of the lamp, respectively, as indicated by 2d indicated by a virtual line. When the lens legs are deformed as described above, there is a possibility that a crack is generated near the root thereof. In addition, the deformation of the lens legs further deteriorates the welding position accuracy of the lens, and the deformation of the lens legs makes the occurrence of burrs more unstable.

An object of the present invention is to provide a vibration welding structure for a lamp lens that is uniform and has no risk of impairing the appearance.

According to the above structure, a concave ridge is formed at the boundary between the surface receiving the lens legs near the edge of the front opening of the lamp housing and the surface extending obliquely forward of the lamp. The tip surface of the leg stabilizes at the position in contact with the ridge. In this state, if the lens legs try to deform in the bending direction, the lens legs will ride on the slope, so that bending deformation is prevented. The prevention of bending deformation also eliminates the risk of cracking the root of the lens leg. As described above, the tip of the lens leg is stably in contact with the concave ridge line at the foot of the slope, and since the lens leg is not deformed, the precision of the welding position of the lens to the lamp housing is improved, and the lamp performance as designed quality is improved. Obtained, improved in quality and stable. When the positions of the lens legs are fixed, the state of occurrence of burrs is stabilized. In addition, since the state of occurrence of burrs can be reliably predicted, the state of occurrence of burrs can be controlled at the design stage, so that the appearance of the product is improved and the commercial value is enhanced. In addition, since the structure of the present invention is simple in that a slope is provided in contact with the tip of the lens leg, an increase in manufacturing cost is negligibly small.
