- The conventional lighting tool used for illumination lamp equipment described above includes LEDs or small light bulbs. The exposed portion of the LED or the small light bulb is made of glass or synthetic resin. Therefore, it is difficult to mount these illumination lamps on the vehicle or on the electronic equipment in the exposed state and it may be broken very easily in the exposed state.
- Therefore, in general, a housing for mounting the illumination lamp such as the LED or the small light bulb is manufactured and the illumination lamp is fitted into the housing. However, since the housing is constructed of two halves or formed into cylindrical shape, it is necessary to combine two halves and secure with an adhesive agent with the illumination lamp mounted, or to close the lid with the illumination lamp mounted. Therefore, there is a problem in that the point of fixation between the housing and the illuminating lamp is susceptible to generation of a gap, which may result in entering of dust or backlash, in addition to the problem in that the number of components or the number of manufacturing steps increases.
- As a consequent, as a measure to solve the conventional problems described above, molding the illumination lamp with a nylon base synthetic resin, which is normally used for molding, is conceivable. However, in the method of molding the illumination lamp with nylon base resin, the temperature of the resin is in the range of 240 to 300° C. and the injection pressure is in the range of 400 to 1300 Kg/cm2 at the time of injection as shown in FIG. 5, and thus the illumination lamp such as the LED or the small light bulb may be melt disadvantageously by the temperature of the resin or may be broken by the injection pressure.
- Accordingly, the present invention is intended to solve the problems described above, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an illumination lamp equipment in which the illumination lamp is not melted or damaged during injection molding by employing a hot-melt resin as a material for molding the illumination lamp.
- In order to achieve the object described above, the illumination lamp equipment is constructed in such a manner that the illumination lamp such as a LED or a small light bulb is molded with a hot-melt resin with a part of the head portion of the illuminating lamp exposed.
- The lead exposed from the molded portion may be connected to the connector, and in the case where a LED is used as an illuminating lamp, it is also possible to connect the lead of the LED to the printed board to which a resistor is connected, and then mold the LED and the printed board with the hot-melt resin except for a part of the head portion of the LED.
- Alternatively, in the case where the lead of the illumination lamp constructed of a LED or a small light bulb is connected to the terminal of the connector in advance, the illumination lamp and a part of the connector are molded with the hot-melt resin with a part of the illumination lamp exposed, and a LED is used as an illumination lamp, it may be constructed in such a manner that the lead of the LED is connected to the printed board to which a resistor is connected, and then the printed board is connected in turn to the connector, and subsequently, the printed board, the LED except for a part of the head portion, and a part of the connector are molded with the hot-melt resin.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the illumination lamp equipment according to the first embodiment of the present invention showing a state before molding;

connector 1 used here is a known type, which is detachably mounted to the male connector (not shown) for receiving power supply. Since the terminal of theillumination lamp 2 is connected to the printedboard 4 to which a protective resistor (not shown) is connected, and the printedboard 4 is in turn connected to thelead 3, theillumination lamp 2 is electrically connected to theconnector 1. - In this embodiment, the printed
board 4 and theillumination lamp 2 except for a part of the head portion are molded by injection molding using a hot-melt resin. Hereinafter, the portion formed by molding is referred to as a moldedportion 5. - Since the temperature of the hot-melt resin during injection is in the range of 175 to 225° C. and the injection pressure thereof is in the range of 3 to 35 Kg/cm2 as is apparent from FIG. 5, which is lower both in temperature and pressure in comparison with the generally used synthetic resin, even the
illumination lamp 2 such as a LED, a small light bulb, or the like that may easily be affected by heat and pressure may be prevented from being melted by heat or being broken by the pressure. - Since the hot-melt resin is a material that is primarily used for adhesive agent, it exhibits superior adhesiveness, waterproof property, dust-proof property, and shake-proof property, molding the
