Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a mounting screw receiving clip that is advantageous for fixing with screws a decorative molding or the like that is attached along an opening of an automobile window or the like.

There is also a method of attaching moldings etc. using studs, but since the openings may corrode due to rusting of the studs and the body surface may be soiled, recently it is preferable to use plastic clips. The method of fastening with screws is often used.

For installation with this clip, you can either open a through hole in the metal panel of the body and insert the engaging leg of the clip, or screw a screw to ensure the engagement of the engaging leg. This increases the adhesion of the molding to the mounting body and ensures stable installation of the molding.

However, as mentioned above, conventional clips use a through-hole drilled in the body to secure the clip, so in order to use it, there must be at least enough space to create a through-hole for the attachment through which the clip's engaging leg can be inserted. In some cases, especially when installing decorative molding along the edge of a window opening, where there is not enough space to make a through hole in the edge of the opening itself, a conventional clip with an entry leg is used. Therefore, it may be necessary to rely on the mounting method using studs.

The present invention allows clips to be fastened in the same way as conventional clips when there are restrictions on where they can be fastened, safely and without causing problems such as rusting.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a mounting screw receiving clip that is improved and devised so that moldings and the like can be firmly mounted.

Embodiments illustrating this invention will be described below. FIGS. 1 to 5 show a screw receiving clip A according to the invention, where 1 is a screw receiving body formed in a block shape, and 2 is a screw receiving body of this invention. A spacer part extends from one surface of the receiving body, 3 is a flange integrally provided to face the screw receiving body 1 via this spacer part, and 4 is a flange part from the center of this flange part through which the spacer part 2 is passed. This is a screw receiving hole that penetrates through the center of the screw receiving body.

As will be described later, this clip A is attached to an approximately U-shaped notch 5 formed in an opening surrounding a window in an automobile body, that is, an opening edge B that is the edge of a metal panel, and functions as a screw receiver. Here, the cross-sectional shape of the spacer part 2 is made to match the shape of the notched recess 5 so that it can be fitted from the opening thereof, and the spacer part is narrowed so that the screw receiving main body 1 and the flange part 3 are opposed to each other. The opening edge B is formed to have an axial length corresponding to the thickness of the plate so that the opening edge B can fit therebetween.

In this embodiment, the screw receiving body 1 is formed in the shape of a cubic block, with a through gap 6 extending vertically through the center thereof, into which a rectangular nut 8 having a female screw hole 7 is inserted. The female screw hole 7 of the nut 8 is communicated with the screw receiving hole 4 so that a set screw 9 inserted from the flange side can be screwed therein. The inner wall surface of the cavity 6 is provided with a small protrusion 10 to press against the inserted nut 8, thereby preventing the inserted nut from falling off naturally.

On the other hand, the flange 3 provided facing the screw receiver main body is formed into a thin plate shape to have flexibility, and a flange 3 formed at the opening edge B is formed at both ends of one surface facing the screw receiver main body. A pair of engagement protrusions 12 are provided corresponding to engagement recesses 11 that are formed symmetrically with the notch recess 5 in between.

As shown in the figure, the engaging protrusion 12 is formed into a short cylindrical shape, and the height of the lower half thereof is cut obliquely to provide a rising slope 12'.

The clip A of the present invention, which includes the screw receiving body 1, the spacer portion 2, the collar portion 3, and the screw receiving hole 4 provided through these, is integrally molded from thermoplastic synthetic resin, and then the nut 8 is attached. The molding C is completed by being fitted into the cavity 6, and the actual installation of the molding C is carried out in the state shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.

Figure 6 is an exploded perspective view of the clip A in a partially cutaway state immediately before it is attached to the edge of the opening of the window;
The nut 8 is fitted into the clip A, which is shown cut away, to be integrated as described above, and in this state, the spacer part 2 is inserted into the notched recess 5 formed in the opening edge B from the opening.

At this time, the engaging protrusions 12 provided on both ends of the collar 3
However, when the engaging projection 12 is pushed in forcibly, the engaging projection 12 becomes flexible and can ride on the engaging projection 12. At the same time, the slope 12' provided on the engaging projection serves as a guide for climbing on the engaging projection 12. Then, the spacer portion 2 is inserted into the notch recess 5.
When the clip A reaches a predetermined position, the restoring force of the collar 3 acts to correspond to the engagement recess 11, and the engagement projections 12 fit into the engagement recess 11, completing the attachment of the clip A to the opening edge B. become.

After mounting in this manner, attach the mounting piece C of the molding C to one side of the flange 3, insert the screw 9 passed through the through hole 13 bored therein into the screw receiving hole 4, and insert the screw 9 into the screw receiving hole 4, Screw into hole 7 and tighten to complete installation of the molding.

In addition, the number 14 in the drawing is the glass attached to the window,
The molding is installed after this glass is installed.

The present invention is constructed as described above, and the notched recess 5 provided at the opening edge B for attaching the clip A is sufficient even in a space narrower than the through hole formed for inserting the engagement leg of a conventional clip. At the same time, this clip can be attached to the edge of the opening by simply inserting the spacer part 2 from the opening of the cutout recess 5, making it easy to install the clip. It has the advantage of being superior in terms of gender.

That is, the clip attached to the edge of the opening is attached to the flange 3.
Its attachment is ensured by the springiness of the molding, and by engaging the engagement protrusion 12 in the engagement recess 11, a reliable temporary fixing state is obtained, so that it will not fall off during the screwing work of the molding. At the same time, the rotation of the clip is prevented by the engagement of the engagement protrusion 12, so that the screwing operation can be easily performed without causing the clip to rotate together.

In addition, the clip of the present invention passes the set screw 9 through the screw receiving hole in the center to avoid contact with the opening edge, and furthermore, the molding is received in the flange 3 to avoid contact between the molding and the opening edge. Because of this structure, there is no friction between metals during installation work or in the installed state, and therefore, the danger of damaging the painted surface and causing rust can be effectively avoided.

Incidentally, in the above embodiment, the cut recess 5 formed at the edge of the opening is U-shaped, but this recess may be conveniently shaped as long as it can prevent the set screw 9 from rotating when the set screw 9 is screwed in relation to the spacer portion 2. is good,
Therefore, there is no problem even if it is U-shaped. Of course, since substantial co-rotation can be prevented by the engagement of the engagement protrusion, in the extreme, this cut recess 5 may be semi-circular.
