Description:A REAR LAMP HOUSE PANEL IN A VEHICLE

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure, in general, relates to a rear lamp house panel, and more particularly to an improved rear lamp house panel in a vehicle.
BACKGROUND

[0002] Traditionally, a trunk lid opening flange available in the existing vehicle designs includes an inclined profile. Further, a step design is provided near the joinery between rear lamp house panel and back panel. The presence of this stepped sectional geometry helps in smooth stress distribution across rear lamp house panel face and avoid stress concentration at the joinery under twist load.
[0003] Fig. 1 illustrates a diagram 100 depicting a rear lamp house panel (102) and back panel (104), in accordance with an existing prior art. The rear lamp house panel (102) and back panel (104) may include a trunk lid opening flange with an inclined profile. A step design (106) is provided near the joinery between the rear lamp house panel (102) and the back panel (104). The presence of this stepped sectional geometry helps in smooth stress distribution across the rear lamp house panel face and avoid stress concentration at the joinery under twist load.
[0004] However, due to change in design of new vehicle, the trunk lid opening flange has shifted vehicle front side, which has resulted in elimination of step which is present in the existing vehicle design as referred in fig. 1, near the joinery. As a result, the new vehicle design doesn’t counter the stresses generated near the joinery between rear lamp house panel and back panel under vehicle twist condition, which may result in panel cracking.
[0005] Thus, there is a need for a solution to overcome above mentioned drawbacks.
