  • Patent number: 9789814
    Abstract: Provided is an indirect light-emitting front grill including: a front grill 22; light-emitting members 4, 14; and illuminated members 1, 11 disposed along the design portion. The illuminated members 1, 11 have reflecting portions 2, 12 that reflect light emitted by the light-emitting members 4, 14. The reflecting portions 2, 12 are visible via the front grill viewed from the front, and have a black or dark color or the same color as or a similar color to the front grill 22. This front grill has openings 3, 13 through which currents of air introduced from outside the vehicle are further introduced into the inside of the vehicle, the openings being located nearer to the outer edges of the front grill 22 than to the reflecting portions 2, 12.

  • Patent number: 8585267
    Abstract: A head lamp attachment structure includes projecting portions 30 that are projected from the head lamps 2, and receiving parts 15 that are provided on a radiator core support 1 and have guide grooves 16. After the head lamps 2 are moved backward of a vehicle along a predetermined trajectory by being slid along the guide grooves 16, the projecting portions 30 are disengaged backward out of the guide grooves 16 of the receiving parts 15 in such a way that the head lamps 2 are fixed on a vehicle body in a state where a certain clearance H1 is formed below the projecting portions 30.

  • Patent number: 6997585
    Abstract: A headlamp unit (30) is mounted between opposite sides of a radiator core support panel (10) in a widthwise direction of a vehicle and a front portion of a front fender. One of a front mounting position of a front portion of the headlamp unit (30) and a rear mounting position of a rear portion of the headlamp unit (30) is provided with a fastening structure (50). The other one of the front mounting position and the rear mounting position is provided with an inserting structure (40) capable of adjusting an inserting amount. The headlamp unit (30) is allowed to slide and move by the fastening structure and/or the inserting structure, thereby making it possible to adjust a mounting position.

  • Patent number: 6948839
    Abstract: Conforming with the differing conditions in which the left and right headlight lamps are placed, an anti-fogging structure for headlight lamps is proposed wherein variation in the anti-fogging performance on the left and right does not occur by providing differing structures for the breathing mechanisms in the left and right headlight lamps. In an anti-fogging mechanism for headlight lamps 5L and 5R provided on the left and right of the radiator fan at the front of the body of a vehicle, different structures are provided for the breathing holes that enable circulation of air into and out of the lamp housings 51L and 51R of the left and right headlight lamps 5L and 5R.
