Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a clip used for fixing, for example, a trim board to a vehicle body.

(Prior art) Generally, this type of clip is
As described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 172207 and as shown in FIG. The leg portion B includes a pair of engaging pieces A that fit together, and a clamping piece C that presses against the surface of the inner panel P and clamps the inner panel P between the leg portions B.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, if the panel P to which the clip of the above structure is fixed is made of synthetic resin, for example, and the periphery of the mounting hole S is smooth, the mounting hole S may not be attached to the clip. When a force is applied in a direction that causes the clip to come off from the panel P, the engaging piece A of the leg B may become detached from the periphery of the mounting hole S, and the clip may inadvertently come off from the panel P. There is.

This invention was developed in consideration of the above situation.
An object of the present invention is to provide a clip which can reliably engage the legs with a workpiece and prevent them from accidentally coming off the workpiece.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has a leg part that is inserted into a mounting hole formed in a mounting member and comes into contact with the back surface of the mounting member, and The clip is provided with a clamping piece that presses against the legs and clamps the member to be attached, the clip having a locking groove on the back surface of the member to be attached and outside the hole to be attached. In addition, the leg portion is provided with an engaging portion that engages with the locking groove.

(Function) According to the present invention, simply by inserting the leg portion into the mounting hole of the member to be attached and fitting the engaging portion of the leg portion into the locking groove, the clip can be removed from the mounting hole. Even if a force in this direction is applied, the leg portion will not accidentally come off from the attachment hole.

(Example) The clip retaining structure according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

The clip shown in the drawing is made of synthetic resin, and has a mounting part 1 on its upper part for attaching an automobile part G such as a carnishing machine, and a leg part 2 extending downward is integrally formed on the lower part of the mounting part 1. A pair of clamping pieces 3, 3 extending in the left-right direction are integrally formed at an intermediate portion between the leg portion 2 and the mounting portion 1.

The mounting portion 1 includes a circular head portion 11 having a larger diameter than the through hole H formed in the entire component G, and a neck portion 1 that is continuous with the lower end of the head portion 11 and can be inserted into the through hole H.
2, and by forming a groove 13 from the upper end side of the head 11 to the neck 12,
The head 11 is elastically deformable in the radial direction,
While elastically deforming the head 11 radially inward from above the head 11, the through hole H of the component G is opened.
The neck portion 1 is inserted into the neck portion 1, and the component G is inserted and fixed into the neck portion 12 by elastic restoration of the head portion 11.

Further, the leg portion 2 is composed of a script body 21 and a pair of engaging pieces 22 that are elastically displaceable and extend from the free end of the script body 21 toward the mounting portion 1 side. An engaging part 2 consisting of a protrusion on the free end of the
3, and an attachment hole 4 through which the leg portion 2 is inserted into an attachment member to which the clip is attached, such as an inner panel 4 constituting the body of an automobile.
0, and the engaging portion 23 is formed on the outside of the periphery of the mounting hole 40 on the back surface of the inner panel 4.
A locking groove 41 is formed into which the locking groove 41 can be fitted.

In this manner, when the leg portion 2 is inserted into the mounting hole 40, the respective engaging pieces 22 are inserted while being elastically displaced in directions approaching each other, and are passed through the mounting hole 40, and the engagement pieces 22 are inserted into the mounting hole 40. The elastic restoring force of the mating pieces 22 causes the free ends of the engaging pieces 22 to face the back surface of the inner panel 4, and the engaging parts 23 provided on these engaging pieces 22 are fitted into the locking grooves 41. It is made to match.

In addition, a pair of clamping pieces 3 extending in the left-right direction are provided at the intermediate portion between the mounting portion 1 and the leg portion 2, as described above.
3 is integrally formed with the mounting hole 40 of the leg portion 2.
When the clamping pieces 3 are inserted into the inner panel 4, the free ends of the clamping pieces 3 are brought into contact with the surface of the inner panel 4, and the clamping pieces 3 are elastically bent. , so as to apply an upward tensile force to the leg portion 2.

The clip of the present invention is constructed as described above, and in order to attach the clip with the part G assembled to the inner panel 4, which is the member to be attached, the leg portion 2 must be engaged from above the attachment hole 40. When the piece 22 is inserted downward while being elastically deformed inward and passed through the mounting hole 40, the holding piece 2
2 is bent by elastic contact with the surface of the inner panel 4, while the engaging piece 22 is elastically restored and its free end faces the back side of the inner panel 4, so that the free end of the engaging piece 22 The engaging portion 23 provided in the inner panel 4 is fitted into the locking groove 41 of the inner panel 4.

In this way, the elastic restoring force generated by the bending of the holding piece 3 acts on the entire clip in the direction of pulling it out of the attachment hole 40, preventing the engagement portion 23 from fitting into the locking groove 41. This makes the leg portions 2 more securely attached to the mounting holes 40 of the inner panel 4.
You will not be able to slip out of it carelessly.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, according to the invention, the leg is inserted into the mounting hole of the mounting member, and the engaging portion of the leg is connected to the locking groove provided on the back surface of the mounting member. By engaging with the clip, even if a force is applied to the clip in a direction that causes it to come out of the attachment hole, the leg will not come off inadvertently from the attachment hole, and the clip will be connected to the leg and the attachment hole. It has now become possible to securely attach it to the member to be attached using the clamping piece.
