Abstract
A cleaning device for a vehicle lamp includes a cylinder, a piston slidably supported in the cylinder, an ejecting nozzle attached to a leading end portion of the piston, and a bracket for insertion into an attaching hole on a bumper of the vehicle. A structure for attaching the cleaning device to the bumper includes an opening edge portion surrounding the attaching hole of the bumper, engagement portions on the bracket, each of the engagement portions being elastically deformable and including a holding portion which comes into contact with a first surface of the bumper, and abutting surface portions on the bracket to face the respective holding portions. Each of the abutting surface portions comes into contact with a second surface of the bumper, and the opening edge portion is held between the holding portions and the abutting surface portions.
