Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a clip that does not easily fall off when temporarily fastened to a member to be clipped to a main body.

Conventional technology Conventionally, when assembling and manufacturing vehicles such as automobiles,
A weather strip 2 is interposed on the edge of the opening provided on the side of the vehicle body 1 shown in FIG. As for the terminal portion 2a of the weather strip 2, a clip is used to fix the vehicle body between the panel and the terminal portion 2a of the weather strip 2. FIG. 5 shows an example of the clip 7, in which engaging members 6, 6 are elastically formed integrally from the tip of the main leg 5 extending downward from the center of the clip body 4.

When fixing the weather strip 2, the main leg 5 of the clip 7 and the engaging members 6, 6 are inserted into holes (not shown) provided in the end portion 2a of the weather strip 2.
By penetrating the holes provided on the vehicle body panel side, the engaging members 6, 6 come into contact with the back surface of the vehicle body panel to provide a locking action.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the structure of the conventional clip 7, when the clip 7 is inserted into the terminal portion 2a of the weather strip 2 and temporarily fixed,
When moving between production lines or transporting to another factory, the clip 7 is likely to fall off due to causes such as vibration, and the work of fixing the weather strip 2 during the assembly process after transport is difficult. When carrying out the assembly, since the clip 7 is lost, a new clip must be arranged and supplied, which is a problem that reduces assembly work efficiency and increases costs. The dot was hot.

Therefore, the present invention solves the problems that conventional clips have, and eliminates the risk of the clip falling off even if the clip is moved while temporarily fixed to the member. The purpose is to provide clips.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a clip comprising a main leg protruding from a clip main body and an engaging member elastically integrally disposed on the side of the main leg. The structure of the clip is such that a plurality of rod-like members, which are easily bendable, protrude from the vicinity of the tip in a direction perpendicular to the main leg.

Effect: According to this configuration, even when the clip is inserted into the hole of the member to be fixed and the member is moved or transported while the member is temporarily fixed, the clip is inserted from the vicinity of the tip of the main landing gear to the main landing gear. Since the plurality of rod-like members vertically protruding from the clip are hooked to the peripheral edge of the hole, the clip will not fall out of the hole due to the vibrating part. This effect is obtained.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of a clip provided with a drop-off prevention mechanism according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In the configuration shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, 11
1 is a clip main body having a substantially disk shape, and a main leg 12 projects downward from the center position of this clip main body 11. A pair of elastic engagement members 13, 1 are provided on the side portions located on both sides of the main leg 12.
3 is integrally provided with the main body 11 and the main leg 12. This engaging member 13, 13 has a neck portion 13a.
is formed, and the neck portion 13 is formed during final fixing.
a is locked in the hole of the member to be fixed.

Furthermore, from the vicinity of the tip 12a of the main leg 12,
A pair of rod-shaped members 1 are arranged perpendicularly to the main leg 12.
4 and 14 are provided protrudingly. This rod-shaped member 14,
14 is made of a member that maintains easy bendability and has appropriate rigidity.

The appropriate mounting position for the rod-shaped members 14, 14 is the tip end 12a of the main leg 12 shown in the figure, but is not limited to the above-mentioned position. You may do so. Furthermore, the rod-shaped members 14, 14 may be in plural numbers, not less than the two shown in the figure.

The rod-like members 14, 14 are formed with an appropriate thickness to maintain flexibility, and are constructed so that they can be easily inserted into holes opened in the member to which the clip is to be fixed. ing.

The clip main body 11, the main leg 12, the engaging members 13, 13, and the rod-shaped members 14, 14 are all made of synthetic resin, and the rod-shaped members 14, 14 can also be molded at the same time during manufacturing. .

According to this configuration, when attaching the weather strip 2 to the opening edge of the vehicle body 1 as described above, the main part of the clip according to the present invention is inserted into the hole drilled at the end of the weather strip 2. leg 12
By entering the hole, the easily bendable rod-like members 14, 14 pass through the hole while being deformed into a bent state. At this time, the engaging members 13, 13
It is not necessary to completely penetrate the net 13a, and only the rod-shaped member needs to pass through.

Even if the clip is inserted into the hole of the weather strip 2 to be fixed in this way and the weather strip 2 is moved or transported while it is temporarily fixed, the weather strip 2 may be moved or transported from the vicinity of the tip of the main leg 12. Since the plurality of rod-shaped members 12 protruding in the vertical direction are caught and locked on the peripheral edge of the hole through which they are inserted,
This provides the effect that the clip will not fall out of the hole due to vibrations during transportation or the like.

Therefore, it is possible to smoothly move on to the work of attaching and fixing the weather strip 2 to the next stage of the vehicle body panel. That is, the mounting and fixing of the weather strip 2 is completed by pushing the necks 13a of the engaging members 13, 13 of the clip into the engaging holes.

Although the above embodiment shows an example in which two rod-shaped members 14 are provided protrudingly, three or more rod-shaped members 14 may be formed in a direction perpendicular to the main leg and radially.
The same effect as in the illustrated example can be obtained.

Effects of the Invention As explained in detail above, according to the structure of the clip provided with the fall prevention mechanism according to the present invention, the main leg protrudes from the clip body, and the main leg is elastically integrally disposed on the side of the main leg. In the clip structure consisting of an engaging member, the clip has a plurality of rod-like members that are easily bendable and protrude from near the tip of the main leg in a direction perpendicular to the main leg. , the following effects are brought about. In other words, even if the clip is inserted into the hole of the member to be fixed and the member is moved or transported while temporarily fixed, the clip will not protrude from near the tip of the main leg in a direction perpendicular to the main leg. Since the plurality of rod-shaped members are hooked and locked to the peripheral edge of the hole, the clip will not fall out of the hole due to vibration or the like. In particular, when the clip according to the present invention is applied to a rubber product such as the end of a weather strip, which is a soft member, the effect of preventing the clip from falling off is great.

Therefore, according to the present invention, there is no accident that the clip is lost during the assembly process after transportation, and work efficiency is improved, and the cost of parts is greatly reduced, resulting in lower costs. It has the great advantage of being measurable.
