An electric junction box unit includes an electric junction box, a bracket holding the electric junction box, and a holder assembled to the bracket. The bracket includes a plate-shaped back face portion facing the electric junction box, a plurality of holding portions which are erected from the back face portion along an assembly direction of the electric junction box and which hold the electric junction box, and an engaging recessed portion engaging with the holder in a state where the back face portion is sandwiched between the electric junction box and the holder. The engaging recessed portion includes a first recessed portion receiving a first engaging piece of the holder along a direction intersecting the assembly direction, and a second recessed portion receiving a second engaging piece of the holder along the assembly direction.

An electrical connection box applied to a wire harness includes a substrate assembly and a housing the substrate assembly. The housing includes a first flexible rib that is extended along an extending direction Z, elastically deformable along a first support direction X, and supports the substrate assembly with respect to one side in the first support direction X, second flexible ribs that are extended along the extending direction Z, elastically deformable along the first support direction X, and supports the substrate assembly with respect to the other side in the first support direction X, and boss portions that are extended along the extending direction Z and position the substrate assembly with respect to the both sides in the first support direction X.

A bulband a reflecting plateare disposed in offset relation to a lensso that an optical axis LBof a beam, emitted from the bulb, and an optical axis LBof reflection light, reflected by the reflecting plate, can intersect an axis CL of the lensin a forward-rearward direction of a vehicle. Therefore, the beam can be radiated forwardly without directing the lensforwardly. In the case where two reflecting surfacesandof an identical shape are provided symmetrically on the reflecting plate, and are arranged in the forward-rearward direction of the vehicle, and there are provided a pair of bulbs, a pair of reflecting platesand a pair of lenseach pair of which are provided respectively for left and right (two) directions, the pair of reflecting plates, having an identical construction, are used. Therefore, the cost can be reduced, and this also prevents an erroneous operation in which the two reflecting plates are mounted in a reversed manner.

Interior illumination lamp

A bezel member () to which a lens () which transmits light from a light source () is supported on a main body () to be fixed to a vehicle body (). A spherical surface () is formed on one of the main body () or a bezel member (), and sliding members () for being pressed against the spherical surface () are formed on the other one of them, so that the bezel member () can be rotated with respect to a supporting member () of the main body () and fixed to a given position. Since a metal plate is used as the sliding members () in this interior illumination lamp (), a problem such that the light source cannot be fixed to the desired direction due to abrasion or change of properties of the felt sliding member as in the related art due to the temperature or deterioration with age can be solved. Also, in comparison with the case in which the spring or the like is employed, increase in cost due to increase in the number of parts can be avoided.

An interior illumination lamp includes a bodyfor being fixed to a vehicle body, and a lampwhich is angularly movably supported on a support portionmounted on the body, and has a lenscapable of transmitting a beam from a light sourcetherethrough. The lampincludes a first bezelangularly movably supported on the support portion, and a second bezelwhich holds the lens, and is mounted on the first bezel. The second bezelhas a reflecting surfacefor receiving and reflecting transmitted light through the lens, and this reflecting surface is designed to have a low reflectance. By doing so, the light, reflected by the reflecting surface, is not glaring, and therefore a beam, coming into the driver's sight via a room mirror, is not glaring, and therefore will not affect the driving operation.

The invention is to provide an interior illumination lamp which can change lighting directions, not directly touching lenses by the fingers. If rotating fins in the forward direction of the lenses, outer bezels are rotated together, so that a light emitting direction can be adjusted, not directly contacting the lenses with the fingers as conventionally. Even if the lenses are heated, the light emitting directions can be adjusted thereby. Not directly contacting the lenses by the fingers, the lenses are prevented from being stained to decrease illumination. In addition, since the fins avoid the light diffusion, a driver and other riding people are kept off dazzling by the light.

An interior illumination lampincluding a design portionin which a lensis fixed to a bezelof a housingcapable of being attached to an openingprovided at an interior memberof a vehicle, a functional portionarranged to a rear side of the interior memberby being supported by the design portionand having a light source, and a guide portionin a groove-like shape provided for guiding an electric wire W/H connected to the functional portion, in which a clipis arranged to a notched portionprovided at a wall portionof the guide portionand front ends of the wall portioninterposing the notched portionsare connected to ride over the notched portions. That is, upper portions of the notched portionsof the clipsprovided at the guide portionare connected and therefore, the electric wire W/H wired along the guide portioncan be prevented from extruding from the notched portionto be bit thereby. Further, erroneous wiring can be prevented by wiring an electric wire along the guide portion
