Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an improvement in a mounting structure for mounting automobile parts such as a radiator grill to a predetermined panel.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a conventional mounting structure of this type, there are, for example, those shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-44344 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-51252. Among the conventional mounting structures, the former one uses a screw grommet, so a screw grommet mounting hole is formed on the vehicle body panel side, and a radiator is installed inside the screw grommet attached to the mounting hole. The radiator grill is attached to the vehicle body panel by screwing the screw member into the grill through hole. The latter uses a clip with a square head and locking legs, and a square mounting hole is opened on the vehicle body panel side, while a corner displaced 90 ° at the corresponding location on the radiator grille. When a hole is opened and the square head of the clip is inserted into the square hole from the back side and rotated about 90 °, the square head of the clip is locked to the edge of the square hole on the radiator grill side. Therefore, after that, the radiator grill is attached to the vehicle body panel as it is by engaging the locking leg portions of the clip in the attachment holes of the panel.

Therefore, in any of the mounting structures, although the means to be used is slightly different, as a result, the radiator grille can be securely and firmly mounted on the vehicle body panel side, so that the mounting state itself can be improved. Does not cause any problems. However, it is of course necessary to replace the radiator grille after installing the radiator grille.However, when removing the radiator grille itself from the vehicle body panel side due to the need to repair or replace peripheral equipment such as the radiator, this time. However, since the above-mentioned strong mounting condition is bad and it is difficult to remove the radiator grill or it is structurally impossible, it is very problematic to remove the radiator grill under the conventional mounting structure. Has been done.

In order to meet such demands, an improved mounting structure is provided in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-133010. Similar to the latter one described above, this improved mounting structure basically uses a clip having locking legs, but the clip is provided with two holding pieces and one While the operating piece is integrally extended to the tip of the holding piece, the lock piece that is held in a locked state between the two holding pieces is integrally provided on the radiator tag side. Therefore, under the improved mounting structure, the locking leg portion of the clip is previously attached to the mounting hole on the vehicle body panel side, and then the locking piece is placed between the two holding pieces described above. If the radiator grille can be easily attached to the vehicle body panel side by inserting it, or if it is necessary to remove the radiator grille, push the operation piece backward or pull it downwards to remove the two pieces. Since the locked state of the lock piece can be released by widening the spacing between the holding pieces, the radiator grille can be removed from the body panel side.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in such an improved mounting structure, it is certainly possible to release the locked state of the lock piece by expanding the gap between the two holding pieces by pushing or pulling the operation piece. However, in actual work, it is needless to say that this is difficult because the operation piece has to be pushed or pulled by the tip of a work tool such as a screwdriver by using an extremely narrow space. However, in parallel with this work, the lock piece of the radiator grille must be pulled out from between the two holding pieces. In any case, the removal work becomes troublesome and the removal of the radiator grille is complicated. We couldn't expect a big improvement in terms of aspect. Therefore, the present invention intends to provide a new mounting structure capable of effectively solving the problems of the improved mounting structure.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the first invention is based on a mounting structure in which a component is mounted on a panel via a clip, and a mounting leg having a claw portion having an R surface is formed on the back surface of the component side while the clip is mounted. It is not designed to be fixed to the corresponding part of the panel, and two holding pieces for holding the mounting leg are projected from this clip at regular intervals, and the R surface is attached to the tip edge of one holding piece. The claw portion is formed, and the pressing portion on the tip of the other holding piece is displaced inward from the claw portion. In the second invention, on the premise of the same mounting structure as the first invention, a mounting leg having a claw portion having an R surface is provided on the rear surface of the component side, and a mounting hole is formed at a corresponding portion of the panel. The clip includes an inner base plate and an outer base plate that are connected to each other via a hinge part, and the clips are fitted into the mounting holes from the inside and the outside so as to be locked to each other. In addition to providing locking means, two claw pieces for holding the mounting legs are projected on the outer surface of the outer base plate at regular intervals, and a claw having an R surface at the tip edge of one of the claw pieces. A part is formed, and the tip pressing part of the other holding piece is shifted inward from the claw part.

[0007]

[Action]

 Therefore, in the above first and second inventions, when attaching the component to the panel side, the clip is fixed to the corresponding portion on the panel side in advance, and after that, it is provided on the rear surface of the component. If the mounting leg is inserted between the two holding pieces on the clip side, the pressing state of the tip of the other holding piece is obtained, and the claw part of the mounting leg is firmly connected to the claw part of one holding piece. This will allow the component to be easily and securely attached to the panel.

Further, when it becomes necessary to remove a component, without using a work tool as in the conventional case, simply moving the component in a predetermined direction allows the pawl on the mounting leg side to be removed. The R-face of one part and the R-face of one claw on one side of the holding piece guide the two legs while the mounting leg pushes the other holding piece and smoothly rotates between the two holding pieces. This allows the parts to be removed easily from the panel, which allows the components to be easily removed from the panel side.

【Example】

 BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to an illustrated embodiment. In the mounting structure according to the embodiment, automobile parts such as a radiator grill can be attached to and detached from a predetermined panel by using different clips on the upper and lower sides. It is characterized by being attached.

Therefore, first, from the side of the upper clip 1, the upper clip 1 is an integrally molded product of synthetic resin, and as shown in FIG. 1, an inner base continuously provided through thin hinge portions 3 A plate 2A and an outer base plate 2B are provided, and locking claws 4a, 5a, 4b, 5b that can be locked with each other are provided on the opposing inner surface sides of the base plates 2A and 2B. Locking on the base end side by fitting the locking claws 4a and 4b provided on the front end side of 2B into the mounting holes H1 on the vehicle body panel P, which will be described later, from inside and outside to lock them. In combination with the engagement of the claws 5a and 5b, the inner base plate 2A and the outer base plate 2B can be fixed to the corresponding ends of the panel P in the overlapping state.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, two holding pieces 6 and 7 are provided on the outer surface of the front end portion of the outer base plate 2B so as to project at a constant interval, and the upper holding piece 6 is provided. With respect to the above, as a plate-shaped continuous body, its tip portion 6a serves as a pressing portion of a mounting leg 21 described later, and a guide piece portion 6b that bends outward is extended to the edge of the tip pressing portion 6a. The lower holding piece 7 is formed as a short piece that is separated on both sides, and a claw portion 7a having an R surface 7b is formed on each inner edge of each tip, and an auxiliary piece is formed in the middle of both holding pieces 7. 8 is installed. In this case, like the upper holding piece 6, the lower holding piece 7 can be molded as a plate-shaped continuous body, but in any case, what is important in this embodiment is It is essential that the tip pressing portion 6a of the upper holding piece 6 is displaced inwardly from the claw portion 7a of the lower holding piece 7 having the R surface 7b.

On the other hand, as shown in the figure, on the upper portion of the rear surface side of the automobile part 20 attached to the panel P side by the upper clip 1, a width slidably locked between the upper holding piece 6 and the lower holding piece 7. A wide mounting leg 21 is provided integrally or separately, and a claw portion 21a having an R surface 21b corresponding to the claw portion 7a of the lower holding piece 7 is integrally formed on the lower surface side of the mounting leg 21. On the other hand, on the upper side of the corresponding panel P, two round hole-shaped mounting holes H1 that allow the fitting of the locking claws 4a and 4b described above are provided.

Next, the lower clip 11 will be described. Although the lower clip 11 is also a molded product of synthetic resin, as shown in FIG. 4, it is composed of two independent parts, a base 12 and a leg 13. The former base body 12 has a rectangular shape as a whole, and a holding elongated hole 14 for slidably and detachably holding a connecting neck 18 of a leg body 13 which will be described later is formed in a central portion of the base body 12 and one side surface is provided. The latter has a structure in which the engaging claws 15 are provided, and the latter leg 13 has a pair of locking leg pieces 17 and a flange 16 for gripping a hole edge of a mounting hole H2 of a vehicle body panel P described later from inside and outside. A connecting neck 18 having a U-shaped cross section, which is held in the holding elongated hole 14, is projected on the flange 16 side, and a tapered guide piece 19 is projected on the pair of locking leg pieces 17 side. I am doing it. In this embodiment, the locking force of the pair of locking leg pieces 17 with respect to the edge of the mounting hole H2 is larger than the locking force of the connecting neck 18 with respect to the holding elongated hole 14. Since the setting is made as described above, the base 12 and the leg 13 can be easily separated by forcibly pulling the base 12 side under the locked state of the locking leg 17 with respect to the hole edge of the mounting hole H2. It will be.

On the other hand, as shown in the drawing, a slit 22a and a lock hole 22b are provided in the lower portion of the rear surface side of the automobile part 20 attached to the panel P side by the lower clip 11, so that the base body 12 can be inserted from one direction inside. The fixed box 22 to be fitted into the fixed box 22 is integrally or separately provided to obtain a guide for inserting the leg 13 into the slit 22a, and the base 12 is fitted into the fixed box 22 from the engaging claw 15 side. By engaging the engaging claws 15 with the lock holes 22b of the fixing box 22, the lower clip 11 can be easily fixed to the automobile component 20 side. Further, in the lower part of the panel P corresponding to this, a vertically long hole-like mounting hole H2 which allows the vertical movement of the legs 13 is provided.

Therefore, when the radiator grille 20 which is an automobile part is attached to the vehicle body panel P side using the upper and lower clips 1 and 11, first, as shown in FIG. As described above, the locking claws 4a and 4b provided on the tip side of the base plates 2A and 2B of the upper clip 1 are connected to the inner side of the round hole-shaped mounting hole H1 as described above. At the same time as inserting and locking from the base end side, the locking claws 5a and 5b on the base end side are locked, and the inner base plate 2A and the outer base plate 2B are preliminarily placed in a superposed state with a washer or the like interposed. The base 12 of the lower clip 11 is fitted and fixed in the fixing box 22 provided on the lower side of the radiator grill 20 while being fixed to the corresponding end of the corresponding panel P as it is.

Then, after that, the mounting leg 21 projecting from the upper portion of the rear side of the radiator grill 20 is inserted between the two holding pieces 6 and 7 of the upper clip 1 and, at the same time, is attached to the lower side of the radiator grill 20. If the leg 13 of the fixed lower clip 11 is engaged in the vertically long attachment hole H2, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, on the upper side of the radiator grille 20, the tip of the upper holding piece 6 is provided. When the pressing portion 6a obtains a pressed state from above, the claw portion 21a of the mounting leg 21 is firmly locked to the claw portion 7a of the lower holding piece 7, and the lower clip 11 is provided on the lower side of the radiator grill 20. Since each locking leg piece 17 of the leg body 13 of the above is strongly locked to the edge of the mounting hole H2 in cooperation with the flange 16, the radiator tag grille 20 is easily and surely mounted on the vehicle body panel P side. Will be done.

Under such a mounting state, the radiator grill 20 is located outside the lateral side due to the positional deviation between the tip pressing portion 6a of the upper holding piece 6 and the claw portion 7a of the lower holding piece 7 as described above. There is no concern that the mounting leg 21 will accidentally come off from between the two holding pieces 6 and 7 even if the user tries to move it downward or downward. Further, when the radiator grill 20 thermally expands due to the influence of the temperature change, the thermal expansion in the longitudinal direction of the radiator grill 20 is such that the upper side has the mounting legs between the two holding pieces 6 and 7. 21 is absorbed by the movement, and on the lower side, it is absorbed by the movement of the connecting neck 18 of the leg 13 in the holding elongated hole 14 of the base body 12 of the lower clip 11, and conversely, the thermal expansion of the radiator grille 20 in the vertical direction. Can be absorbed by the movement of the leg 13 of the lower clip 11 in the vertically long mounting hole H2, so that the mounting structure of this embodiment can sufficiently exhibit the thermal expansion absorption capability. .

Further, in the present embodiment, the upper clip 1 is provided with the inner base plate 2A and the outer base plate 2B which are connected to each other through the thin hinge portion 3, and the upper clip 1 is attached to the panel P. Because of the structure of fixing the ends from the inside and the outside, as shown in the figure, on the upper side of the panel P, the mounting hole H1 is penetrated to the joint flange part Pa of the outer part and the inner part which constitute the panel P. Since it is possible to open the panel P in such a manner that the outer bulge of the outer part and the height dimension of the panel end including the joint flange part are suppressed as much as possible, There is also an advantage that the structure of can be simplified.

On the contrary, when it is necessary to remove the radiator grille 20, as shown in FIG. 8, if the lower side of the radiator grille 20 is pulled outward, under the present embodiment, the locking leg pieces are released. Due to the superior locking force of the mounting hole H2 of the mounting hole H2 against the hole edge of the mounting hole H2, the connecting neck 18 of the leg body 13 of the lower clip 11 is easily disengaged from the holding elongated hole 14 of the base body 12. If the upper part of the radiator grille 20 is lifted up a little, the R surface 21b of the claw portion 21a on the side of the mounting leg 21 and the R surface 7b of the claw portion 7a on the lower holding piece 7 side can be obtained. By the guide action of each other, the mounting leg 21 pushes and spreads the upper holding piece 6 upward by the action of the lever, and smoothly rotates between the two holding pieces 6 and 7, and between the two holding pieces 6 and 7. This makes it easy to pull out, so this The rill 20 can be easily removed from the vehicle body panel P side. Therefore, when removing the radiator grille 20, it is not necessary to use a conventional work tool, the base body 12 of the lower clip 11 remains on the fixing box 22 side, and the leg body 13 is locked on the mounting hole H2 side. There's no need to worry about losing it.

In addition, the above-described embodiment has a proposal to first remove the attachment state of the lower side of the radiator grill 20 and then remove the entire radiator grill 20 from the vehicle body panel P side. Needless to say, even if the upper clip 1 is used on the lower side and the lower clip 11 is used on the upper side, similar removal work can be expected, and further, on the left and right sides of the radiator grille 20, the upper clip 1 and the upper clip 1 are connected. It is also possible to properly use the lower clip 11 properly.

Regarding the upper clip 1, the two holding pieces 6 in which the claw portion 7a having the R surface 7b and the tip pressing portion 6a are displaced due to the relationship with the mounting leg 21 on the radiator grille 20 side. 7 is essential, but the fixing means to the panel P side is not limited to that of the above-mentioned embodiment, and therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, the inner surface of a single plate-shaped base plate 2C An elastically deformable locking leg portion 9 having an anchor shape or the like is provided on the side, and the two holding pieces 6 and 7 are provided on the outer surface side so that the locking leg portion 9 is located on the panel P side. The upper clip 1 may be fixed to the corresponding portion of the panel P by engaging with the mounting hole H1 of FIG. Further, the lower clip 11 itself is not limited to the one in the above embodiment, and it is possible to use a screw grommet or other clip which has been conventionally used, but in particular, If the lower clip 11 shown in the embodiment is used, as described above, the work of removing the entire radiator grill 20 becomes easier.

[0022]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, by adopting the above-described configuration, it is possible to move the parts slightly in a predetermined direction without using a work tool as in the conventional art, and the mounting leg can be moved between the two holding pieces. Since it can be easily removed, this allows the components to be easily removed from the panel side. Therefore, it is extremely suitable as a mounting structure for various automobile parts that need to be removed, including the radiator grille. In addition to this, if the clip is provided with an inner base plate and an outer base plate that are continuously provided via a hinge portion as in the second invention, the outward swelling of the panel side and the panel can be prevented. Since the height of the corresponding part can be suppressed as much as possible, there is an advantage that the structure of the panel itself on which the parts are mounted can be simplified.
