以下、添付図面を参照しつつ本発明の一実施形態を説明する。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

図1は自動車に搭載された照明システムの構成を概略的に示す。照明システム11は、左右のドアトリム12にそれぞれ埋め込まれて、点灯時にドアインサイドハンドル13を照らし出す第1照明装置14と、左右のドアアームレスト15にそれぞれ埋め込まれて、点灯時にドアアームレスト15の縁を照らし出す第2照明装置16とを備える。第1照明装置14および第2照明装置16はLIN通信を介して自動車の制御ユニット(ECU)17に接続される。制御ユニット17は第1照明装置14および第2照明装置16の点灯および消灯を制御する。LIN通信によれば、第1照明装置14および第2照明装置16は制御ユニット17との接続にあたって1本のワイヤーハーネス18で直列または並列に接続されることができる。 FIG. 1 schematically shows the configuration of a lighting system mounted on an automobile. The lighting system 11 is embedded in the left and right door trims 12 and illuminates the door inside handle 13 when lit, and is embedded in the left and right door armrests 15 respectively, and the edges of the door armrest 15 are lit when lit. A second lighting device 16 for illuminating is provided. The first lighting device 14 and the second lighting device 16 are connected to the control unit (ECU) 17 of the automobile via LIN communication. The control unit 17 controls turning on and off the first lighting device 14 and the second lighting device 16. According to LIN communication, the first illuminating device 14 and the second illuminating device 16 can be connected in series or in parallel with one wire harness 18 when connecting to the control unit 17.

図2に示されるように、第1照明装置14は、前面にレンズ(光学部品)21を支持するホルダー22を備える。ホルダー22は、回路基板23を支持する角柱形の本体24と、本体24に結合されて、本体24との間に回路基板23を挟み込むカバー25とで形成される。本体24およびカバー25は例えば絶縁性の樹脂成形体から形成される。ここでは、カバー25は本体24にリビングヒンジ26で一体に連結される。ホルダー22はドアトリム12の構成材に固定される。 As shown in FIG. 2, the first illuminating device 14 includes a holder 22 that supports a lens (optical component) 21 on the front surface. The holder 22 is formed by a prismatic main body 24 that supports the circuit board 23, and a cover 25 that is coupled to the main body 24 and sandwiches the circuit board 23 between the main body 24. The main body 24 and the cover 25 are formed of, for example, an insulating resin molded body. Here, the cover 25 is integrally connected to the main body 24 by a living hinge 26. The holder 22 is fixed to the constituent material of the door trim 12.

回路基板23の第1面(表面)には、1つの発光素子27と、発光素子27の発光に寄与する1以上の電子部品28とが実装される。これら発光素子27および電子部品28は配線パターンに例えばはんだ付けされる。はんだ付けにあたって例えばリフロー工程が用いられる。発光素子27は例えばLED(発光ダイオード)素子から構成される。LED素子は例えば面発光する。 One light emitting element 27 and one or more electronic components 28 that contribute to light emission of the light emitting element 27 are mounted on the first surface (surface) of the circuit board 23. The light emitting element 27 and the electronic component 28 are soldered to the wiring pattern, for example. For example, a reflow process is used for soldering. The light emitting element 27 is composed of, for example, an LED (light emitting diode) element. The LED element emits surface light, for example.

配線パターンは複数(ここでは4つ)のスルーホール29を含む。スルーホール29は、配線パターンの導電材から連続して、例えば円柱形状の空間を囲む導電壁で構成される。回路基板23の基材は例えば絶縁性の樹脂材料やセラミック材料から成形される。 The wiring pattern includes a plurality of (here, four) through holes 29. The through hole 29 is formed of a conductive wall that is continuous with the conductive material of the wiring pattern and surrounds, for example, a cylindrical space. The base material of the circuit board 23 is molded from, for example, an insulating resin material or a ceramic material.

ホルダー22の本体24は、平面で構成されて回路基板23の裏面(第1面の裏側の第2面)を支持する底面(支持面)31と、底面31を囲んで底面31よりも前方に突出する囲い壁32とを有する。底面31は回路基板23の輪郭と等しい形状を有する。囲い壁32は、底面31に直交して上下で向き合う1対の第1壁面33a、33bと、底面31に直交して、左右で向き合って上下の第1壁面33a、33b同士を接続する1対の第2壁面34a、34bとを有する。こうして囲い壁32の内側に底面31に接する平たい直方体の空間は区画される。 The main body 24 of the holder 22 is formed of a flat surface and has a bottom surface (support surface) 31 that supports the back surface of the circuit board 23 (the second surface on the back side of the first surface) and a bottom surface 31 that surrounds the bottom surface 31 and is in front of the bottom surface 31. It has a protruding enclosure wall 32. The bottom surface 31 has a shape equal to the contour of the circuit board 23. The enclosure wall 32 is a pair of first wall surfaces 33a and 33b that are orthogonal to the bottom surface 31 and face each other vertically, and a pair of first wall surfaces 33a and 33b that are orthogonal to the bottom surface 31 and face each other on the left and right sides to connect the upper and lower first wall surfaces 33a and 33b. It has the second wall surfaces 34a and 34b of the above. In this way, the space of the flat rectangular parallelepiped in contact with the bottom surface 31 is partitioned inside the enclosure wall 32.

囲い壁32には、底面31から特定の距離で離れる位置で底面31に平行に広がって、底面31の全周を囲む合わせ面35が規定される。囲い壁32で囲まれる空間は合わせ面35に対して窪みを形成する。回路基板23が窪みに収容されて、回路基板23の裏面が底面31に全面で重ねられると、第1壁面33a、33bおよび第2壁面34a、34bは、回路基板23の4辺の外縁に接触し底面31の垂直方向に回路基板23の平行移動を案内することができる。ホルダー22は底面31で回路基板23の裏面を支持する。底面31は回路基板23の裏面を支持する支持面として機能する。 The enclosure wall 32 is defined with a mating surface 35 that extends parallel to the bottom surface 31 at a position separated from the bottom surface 31 at a specific distance and surrounds the entire circumference of the bottom surface 31. The space surrounded by the enclosure wall 32 forms a recess with respect to the mating surface 35. When the circuit board 23 is housed in the recess and the back surface of the circuit board 23 is entirely overlapped with the bottom surface 31, the first wall surfaces 33a and 33b and the second wall surfaces 34a and 34b come into contact with the outer edges of the four sides of the circuit board 23. The parallel movement of the circuit board 23 can be guided in the vertical direction of the bottom surface 31. The holder 22 has a bottom surface 31 that supports the back surface of the circuit board 23. The bottom surface 31 functions as a support surface for supporting the back surface of the circuit board 23.

底面31には4本の導電端子36が突出する。導電端子36は例えば電源端子や信号端子を含む。導電端子36は線形状の導電材から成形される。個々の導電端子36はいわゆるプレスフィット形状を有する先端を備える。4つの導電端子36の配置は回路基板23の表面に並ぶスルーホール29の配列を反映する。回路基板23の裏面が底面31に重ねられると、導電端子36はスルーホール29を貫通する。プレスフィットの働きで導電端子36は底面に回路基板23を固定する。 Four conductive terminals 36 project from the bottom surface 31. The conductive terminal 36 includes, for example, a power supply terminal and a signal terminal. The conductive terminal 36 is formed from a linear conductive material. Each conductive terminal 36 has a tip having a so-called press-fit shape. The arrangement of the four conductive terminals 36 reflects the arrangement of the through holes 29 arranged on the surface of the circuit board 23. When the back surface of the circuit board 23 is overlapped with the bottom surface 31, the conductive terminal 36 penetrates the through hole 29. The conductive terminal 36 fixes the circuit board 23 to the bottom surface by the action of press fit.

カバー25は回路基板23の第1面(表面)を覆う。カバー25の裏面には囲い壁32の内側に嵌まり込む厚板片37が配置される。厚板片37の外周には囲い壁32の合わせ面35に受け止められる枠形状の重ね片38が接続される。カバー25は、例えば、重ね片38で本体24の合わせ面35に凹凸状に固着される。固着には例えば溶着が用いられることができる。その他、厚板片37が囲い壁32に圧入されてカバー25は閉じ位置に保持されてもよい。 The cover 25 covers the first surface (surface) of the circuit board 23. On the back surface of the cover 25, a thick plate piece 37 that fits inside the surrounding wall 32 is arranged. A frame-shaped overlapping piece 38 that is received by the mating surface 35 of the surrounding wall 32 is connected to the outer periphery of the thick plate piece 37. The cover 25 is, for example, fixed to the mating surface 35 of the main body 24 in an uneven shape by the stacking piece 38. For example, welding can be used for fixing. In addition, the plank piece 37 may be press-fitted into the surrounding wall 32 to hold the cover 25 in the closed position.

カバー25は、開口41を囲んで弾性変形に基づき着脱自在にレンズ21を受け入れる筒体42を備える。筒体42はカバー25の表面から突出する。図3に示されるように、カバー25は、発光素子27の前方に開口41を配置する。開口41は、発光素子27の光軸CXに同心の円形の輪郭を有する。筒体42は同様に発光素子27の光軸CXに同軸の円筒空間を区画する。筒体42に保持されるレンズ21の光軸は発光素子27の光軸CXに重なる。 The cover 25 includes a tubular body 42 that surrounds the opening 41 and receives the lens 21 detachably based on elastic deformation. The tubular body 42 projects from the surface of the cover 25. As shown in FIG. 3, the cover 25 arranges the opening 41 in front of the light emitting element 27. The opening 41 has a circular contour concentric with the optical axis CX of the light emitting element 27. Similarly, the tubular body 42 partitions a cylindrical space coaxial with the optical axis CX of the light emitting element 27. The optical axis of the lens 21 held by the cylinder 42 overlaps the optical axis CX of the light emitting element 27.

ホルダー22の本体24には、該本体24内で回路基板23の長手方向に沿って延びて、その延出方向の端部が本体24の1つの壁面に開口部を形成する空間44と、本体24内に埋設されて一端側である第1線形部36bの端部を本体24の回路基板23に対向する底面31から回路基板23側に突出させるとともに、回路基板23の長手方向に沿う方向に折り曲げられた他端側である第2線形部36bの端部を空間44内に突出させる導電端子36とが設けられて、該空間44と導電端子36とでコネクター43が確立される。即ち、コネクター43は雌コネクターとして構成され雄コネクターを受け入れる空間44を区画する。また空間44には個々の導電端子36が突出し、導電端子36は、底面31で端部を突出させて底面31に垂直に延びる第1線形部36aと、第1線形部36aから屈曲して、空間44内で底面31に平行に延びる第2線形部36bとを有する。導電端子36はホルダー22の本体24に埋め込まれ埋め込みにあたって例えばインサート成型が用いられる。コネクター43にはワイヤーハーネス18に結合される雄コネクターが挿入される。雄コネクターはコネクター43に着脱自在に結合されればよい。 The main body 24 of the holder 22 has a space 44 extending in the main body 24 along the longitudinal direction of the circuit board 23, and an end portion in the extending direction forming an opening in one wall surface of the main body 24, and a main body. The end of the first linear portion 36b, which is embedded in the 24 and is one end side, is projected from the bottom surface 31 of the main body 24 facing the circuit board 23 toward the circuit board 23, and in the direction along the longitudinal direction of the circuit board 23. A conductive terminal 36 is provided so that the end portion of the second linear portion 36b, which is the other end side of the bent portion, protrudes into the space 44, and the connector 43 is established between the space 44 and the conductive terminal 36. That is, the connector 43 is configured as a female connector to partition the space 44 that receives the male connector. Also protrudes individual conductive terminals 36 into the space 44, the conductive terminal 36 includes a first linear portion 36a extending perpendicular to the bottom surface 31 is protruded ends at the bottom 31, bent from the first linear portion 36a It has a second linear portion 36b extending parallel to the bottom surface 31 in the space 44. The conductive terminal 36 is embedded in the main body 24 of the holder 22 , and for embedding, for example, insert molding is used. A male connector coupled to the wire harness 18 is inserted into the connector 43. The male connector may be detachably connected to the connector 43.

図4に示されるように、第2照明装置16は第1照明装置14と同様に構成される。ただし、第2照明装置16では、レンズ21に代えて導光管46がカバー25の筒体42に結合される。導光管46は断面円形の管として形成される。導光管46は、例えば、線方向に光を誘導するとともに、各断面の径方向に光を放射する。導光管46は線形の照明を提供する。導光管46以外の構成は第1照明装置14と同様である。 As shown in FIG. 4, the second illuminating device 16 is configured in the same manner as the first illuminating device 14. However, in the second lighting device 16, the light guide tube 46 is coupled to the tubular body 42 of the cover 25 instead of the lens 21. The light guide tube 46 is formed as a tube having a circular cross section. The light guide tube 46, for example, guides light in the linear direction and radiates light in the radial direction of each cross section. The light guide tube 46 provides linear illumination. The configuration other than the light guide tube 46 is the same as that of the first lighting device 14.

図5に示されるように、レンズ21および導光管46には、筒体42に嵌め入れられて発光素子27の光を導く導光路を形成する光連結体47が一体に形成される。光連結体47は円筒面の外周を有する。円筒面の外径は筒体42の内径の大きさ程度に設定されればよい。レンズ21および導光管46は発光素子27側が平坦面とされ、光連結体47はレンズ27および導光管46はの該平坦面に連結される。レンズ21および導光管46はの前記平坦面における光連結体47の外方の部分はフランジ21a,46aとされる。 As shown in FIG. 5, the lens 21 and the light guide tube 46 are integrally formed with an optical connecting body 47 that is fitted into the tubular body 42 to form a light guide path that guides the light of the light emitting element 27. The optical connector 47 has an outer circumference of a cylindrical surface. The outer diameter of the cylindrical surface may be set to about the size of the inner diameter of the tubular body 42. The lens 21 and the light guide tube 46 have a flat surface on the light emitting element 27 side, and the optical coupler 47 is connected to the flat surface of the lens 27 and the light guide tube 46. The outer portions of the optical coupling 47 on the flat surface of the lens 21 and the light guide tube 46 are flanges 21a and 46a.

光連結体47と筒体42との間には相互に係り合う凹凸形状で形成される着脱機構48が配置される。着脱機構48は、筒体42の径方向に変位可能に1対の切り込み51で筒体42に仕切られて、光連結体47に係り合う弾性爪52を有する。ここでは、弾性爪52は筒体42の直径線上で1対配置される。光連結体47の外周には弾性爪52を受け入れる窪み53が区画される。 A detachable mechanism 48 formed in a concavo-convex shape that is intertwined with each other is arranged between the optical coupling body 47 and the tubular body 42. The attachment / detachment mechanism 48 has an elastic claw 52 that is partitioned into the cylinder 42 by a pair of notches 51 so as to be displaceable in the radial direction of the cylinder 42 and is engaged with the optical connecting body 47. Here, a pair of elastic claws 52 are arranged on the diameter line of the tubular body 42. A recess 53 for receiving the elastic claw 52 is defined on the outer circumference of the optical coupling body 47.

弾性爪52の先端には、筒体42の軸心に直交する平面で構成されて開口41に向き合う係り面54と、係り面54の径方向内端に稜線で接続されて、開口41から遠ざかるにつれて径方向外側に広がる傾斜面55とが区画される。窪み53には、光連結体47の軸心に直交する平面で構成されて、レンズ21の外表面または導光管46側に面する係り面56が区画される。弾性爪52の係り面54が光連結体47の係り面56に面で接触することで、筒体42からの光連結体47の抜け落ちは防止される。弾性爪52が径方向に外方に弾性変形すれば、弾性爪52の係り面54は光連結体47の係り面55から外れる。こうした係り合いの解除は筒体42からレンズ21や導光管46の取り外しを実現する。 The tip of the elastic claw 52 is connected to the engaging surface 54, which is formed of a plane orthogonal to the axial center of the tubular body 42 and faces the opening 41, with a ridge line at the radial inner end of the engaging surface 54, and moves away from the opening 41. The inclined surface 55 that spreads outward in the radial direction is partitioned. The recess 53 is formed by a plane orthogonal to the axial center of the optical coupling body 47, and a engaging surface 56 facing the outer surface of the lens 21 or the light guide tube 46 side is partitioned. When the engaging surface 54 of the elastic claw 52 comes into contact with the engaging surface 56 of the optical connecting body 47 on the surface, the optical connecting body 47 is prevented from coming off from the tubular body 42. When the elastic claw 52 is elastically deformed outward in the radial direction, the engaging surface 54 of the elastic claw 52 is disengaged from the engaging surface 55 of the optical coupling body 47. The release of such engagement realizes the removal of the lens 21 and the light guide tube 46 from the tubular body 42.

次に本実施形態の作用を説明する。組み立てにあたって回路基板23の第1面に発光素子27および電子部品28は実装される。回路基板23はホルダー22の本体24に組み込まれる。回路基板23の第2面はホルダー22の底面31に向き合わせられる。個々の導電端子36に対応してスルーホール29は位置決めされる。囲い壁32の内側に回路基板23が押し込まれると、第1壁面33a、33bや第2壁面34a、34bに沿って回路基板23の移動は案内される。導電端子36は対応するスルーホール29を突き抜ける。導電端子36とスルーホール29との間に導電接続は確保される。プレスフィットの働きで回路基板23はホルダー22に固定される。 Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. Upon assembly, the light emitting element 27 and the electronic component 28 are mounted on the first surface of the circuit board 23. The circuit board 23 is incorporated in the main body 24 of the holder 22. The second surface of the circuit board 23 faces the bottom surface 31 of the holder 22. Through holes 29 are positioned corresponding to the individual conductive terminals 36. When the circuit board 23 is pushed inside the enclosure wall 32, the movement of the circuit board 23 is guided along the first wall surfaces 33a and 33b and the second wall surfaces 34a and 34b. The conductive terminal 36 penetrates the corresponding through hole 29. A conductive connection is secured between the conductive terminal 36 and the through hole 29. The circuit board 23 is fixed to the holder 22 by the action of press fit.

次にリビングヒンジ26を介してカバー25は閉じられる。カバー25の厚板片37は囲い壁32の内側に嵌め入れられる。囲い壁32の合わせ面35にカバー25の重ね片38は受け止められる。カバー25の筒体42にはレンズ21または導光管46のいずれかが連結される。このとき、光連結体47の先端は弾性爪52の傾斜面55に接触する。傾斜面55は、光連結体47の進入に応じて径方向外側に駆動力を生み出す。この駆動力の働きで弾性爪52は筒体42の径方向外方に弾性変形する。こうして筒体42に光連結体47は受け入れられる。光連結体47が押し込まれて筒体42内で定位置に達すると、弾性爪52の爪先は光連結体47の窪み53に進入し、弾性爪52は原形に復帰する。弾性爪52の係り面54は光連結体47の係り面56に係り合う。光連結体47と筒体42との結合は完了する。 The cover 25 is then closed via the living hinge 26. The plank piece 37 of the cover 25 is fitted inside the enclosure wall 32. The overlapping piece 38 of the cover 25 is received on the mating surface 35 of the enclosure wall 32. Either the lens 21 or the light guide tube 46 is connected to the tubular body 42 of the cover 25. At this time, the tip of the optical coupling body 47 comes into contact with the inclined surface 55 of the elastic claw 52. The inclined surface 55 generates a driving force radially outward in response to the entry of the optical coupling body 47. The elastic claw 52 is elastically deformed outward in the radial direction by the action of this driving force. In this way, the optical connector 47 is accepted by the tubular body 42. When the optical connector 47 is pushed in and reaches a fixed position in the tubular body 42, the tip of the elastic claw 52 enters the recess 53 of the optical connector 47, and the elastic claw 52 returns to its original shape. The engaging surface 54 of the elastic claw 52 is engaged with the engaging surface 56 of the optical coupling body 47. The coupling between the optical coupling body 47 and the tubular body 42 is completed.

本実施形態では、ホルダー22に着脱自在にレンズ21や導光管46といった光学部品は取り付けられる。ホルダー22に対してレンズ21や導光管46は取り外されることができる。レンズ21や導光管46は交換されることができる。ホルダー22には様々な種類の光学部品が取り付けられることができる。様々な種類の光学部品に共通にホルダー22は利用されることができる。 In the present embodiment, optical components such as a lens 21 and a light guide tube 46 are detachably attached to the holder 22.

ホルダー22は、回路基板23の裏面を受け止める本体24と、開口41を有し、本体24に結合されて本体24との間に回路基板23を挟み込むカバー25とを備える。回路基板23は、相互に結合される本体24とカバー25との間に挟まれるので、ホルダー22に対して回路基板23は簡単に取り付けられることができる。 The holder 22 includes a main body 24 that receives the back surface of the circuit board 23, and a cover 25 that has an opening 41 and is coupled to the main body 24 to sandwich the circuit board 23 between the main body 24 and the main body 24. Since the circuit board 23 is sandwiched between the main body 24 and the cover 25 which are coupled to each other, the circuit board 23 can be easily attached to the holder 22.

ホルダー22のカバー25は、開口41を囲んで弾性変形に基づき着脱自在にレンズ21または導光管46の光連結体47を受け入れる筒体42を有する。筒体42の弾性変形に応じてレンズ21や導光管46といった光学部品は簡単にカバー25に取り付けられることができる。 The cover 25 of the holder 22 has a tubular body 42 that surrounds the opening 41 and detachably receives the optical coupling body 47 of the lens 21 or the light guide tube 46 based on elastic deformation. Optical components such as the lens 21 and the light guide tube 46 can be easily attached to the cover 25 according to the elastic deformation of the tubular body 42.

ホルダー22の筒体42はカバー25の表面から突出する。レンズ21や導光管46といった光学部品は取り付け位置に簡単に位置合わせされることができる。 The tubular body 42 of the holder 22 projects from the surface of the cover 25. Optical components such as the lens 21 and the light guide tube 46 can be easily aligned with the mounting position.

カバー25の筒体42と光学部品の光連結体47との間には、相互に係り合う凹凸形状で形成される着脱機構48が配置される。レンズ21や導光管46といった光学部品は簡単にホルダー22から取り外されることができる。 Between the tubular body 42 of the cover 25 and the optical connecting body 47 of the optical component, a detachable mechanism 48 formed in a concavo-convex shape that is intertwined with each other is arranged. Optical components such as the lens 21 and the light guide tube 46 can be easily removed from the holder 22.

着脱機構48は、径方向に変位可能に1対の切り込みで筒体42に仕切られて、光連結体47に係り合う弾性爪52を有する。レンズ21や導光管46といった光学部品は簡単に着脱されることができる。 The attachment / detachment mechanism 48 has an elastic claw 52 that is partitioned into a tubular body 42 by a pair of notches so as to be displaceable in the radial direction and is engaged with the optical connecting body 47. Optical components such as the lens 21 and the light guide tube 46 can be easily attached and detached.

レンズ21や導光管46といった光学部品は、筒体42に嵌め入れられて発光素子27の光を導く導光路を形成する光連結体46を有する。光学部品の機能が相違しても、共通して光連結体47が光学部品に形成されれば、種類を問わずに光学部品は筒体42に結合されることができる。 Optical components such as the lens 21 and the light guide tube 46 have an optical connector 46 that is fitted into the tubular body 42 to form a light guide path that guides the light of the light emitting element 27. Even if the functions of the optical components are different, if the optical coupling body 47 is formed in the optical components in common, the optical components can be coupled to the tubular body 42 regardless of the type.

カバー25は本体24にリビングヒンジ26で一体に連結される。カバー25が本体24に一体成型されることで、製造コストは低減される。 The cover 25 is integrally connected to the main body 24 by a living hinge 26. By integrally molding the cover 25 with the main body 24, the manufacturing cost is reduced.

図6に示されるように、ホルダー22では本体24とカバー25との間に係り合い機構57が配置されてもよい。ここでは、係り合い機構57は、例えば厚板片37でリビングヒンジ26から最も離れた端面に配置される突起58と、囲い壁32でリビングヒンジ26から最も離れた第1壁面33bに配置される凹み59とを有する。突起58は、重ね片38から規定の距離で離れた位置で端面から突出する。凹み59は、合わせ面35から規定の距離で離れた位置で合わせ面35から窪む。カバー25の厚板片37が囲い壁32の内側に嵌め込まれると、例えば囲い壁32の弾性変形に応じて突起58は凹み59に進入することができる。こうして突起58および凹み59の係り合いに応じてカバー25は閉鎖位置に保持される。囲い壁32の弾性変形に応じて突起58および凹み59の係り合いは解除されることができる。こうしてカバー25の開閉は実現される。 As shown in FIG. 6, in the holder 22, the engagement mechanism 57 may be arranged between the main body 24 and the cover 25. Here, the engagement mechanism 57 is arranged, for example, on the protrusion 58 arranged on the end face of the plank piece 37 farthest from the living hinge 26, and on the first wall surface 33b of the surrounding wall 32 farthest from the living hinge 26.
