Description

Sun shield mounting device
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a sun visor mounting device for mounting a sun visor to a mounted member.
Background
For example, the sun visor is rotatably mounted to a driver's seat and a passenger's seat of a vehicle via a shaft. In this case, a bracket capable of supporting the shaft of the sun visor is attached to an attached member such as a ceiling wall of the driver's seat or the passenger's seat via a clip.
For example, patent document 1 discloses a clip mounting structure in which one side has a seat portion and the other side has a panel locking portion for locking with a panel member, and the seat portion is fixed to an assembly member.
The assembly member has a clip holder integrally provided to the mounting bar. The clip holder has a base wall provided with a locking protrusion and a pair of substantially L-shaped frame-shaped side walls provided to stand up from the base wall. One side surface of the locking protrusion is an inclined surface inclined in the surface direction of the base wall, and the other side surface is a locking surface perpendicular to the surface direction of the base wall. On the other hand, the jig has a panel locking portion and a plate-shaped seat portion connected to the panel locking portion. Further, a locking claw for locking to the locking protrusion of the clip holder is provided on the back side of the seat.
Then, when the seat portion of the clip is inserted between the pair of side walls of the clip holder, the engaging claw presses the inclined surface of the engaging projection, and the clip is pushed in while flexing the base wall (see fig. 4 of patent document 1), and when the engaging claw reaches the engaging surface beyond the top of the engaging projection, the base wall is elastically restored, and the engaging claw and the engaging surface are engaged with each other (see fig. 5 of patent document 1), so that the clip is mounted to the clip holder.
Further, for maintenance, component replacement, and the like, it is sometimes desired to remove the clip from the bracket supporting the shaft of the sun visor.
However, in the structure described in patent document 1, even in a state in which the clip is attached to the clip holder, the seat portion is to be pulled out from the clip holder, the locking claw abuts against the locking surface of the locking protrusion, and the clip cannot be pulled out further, and the locking protrusion is a rigid body, and cannot deform itself by bending, so that it is difficult to remove the clip from the clip holder.

As shown in fig. 11 and 12, the buffer member 2 is disposed on the front side of the attached member 1. The cushioning member 2 has a bracket receiving hole 2a for receiving a clip attachment portion 30, a support portion 23, and a base end portion of a hook 25, which will be described later, of the bracket 20.
The "front side" and "front surface" of the mounted member 1 refer to the side or one surface facing the interior of the vehicle cabin, and the "back side" and "rear surface" of the mounted member 1 refer to the opposite side or surface (these are also the same meaning in the buffer member 2).
The bracket 20 has a base 21 disposed on the front side of the attached member 1, and the base 21 is provided with: a support portion 23 for supporting the shaft portion 7 of the sun visor; and a clip attachment portion 30 for attaching the metal clip 50.
On the other hand, the metal clip 50 has: a base plate 51, the base plate 51 having a clip-side insertion hole 57 through which the pin member 70 is inserted; a pair of flange portions 53, 53 extending from the base plate 51; and a pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 that are elastically deformable, provided to stand up from the base plate 51, for engagement with the clip mounting hole 4 formed in the mounted member 1. The metal clip 50 is attached to the clip attachment portion 30 (described in detail below) by sliding the base plate 51 in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction of the pin member 70 with respect to a pedestal portion 31 (described below) of the clip attachment portion 30 of the bracket 20 (see fig. 1 and 5), as shown in fig. 6. As shown in fig. 1, the direction in which the substrate 51 slides with respect to the mount portion 31, that is, the sliding direction of the substrate 51 with respect to the mount portion 31 is set as the sliding direction S of the metal clip 50.
The pin member 70 includes a shaft portion 71 having a screw groove 71a formed in the outer periphery thereof, and a circular flange-shaped head portion 73 connected to one axial end of the shaft portion 71. As shown in fig. 11, the pin member 70 is inserted between the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55 through the bracket side insertion hole 32 and the clip side insertion hole 57, and elastic deformation of the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 inward of the clip attachment hole 4 is restricted.
Next, the bracket 20 will be specifically described.
The bracket 20 of this embodiment has a base 21 extending longer in one direction. The outer peripheral edge 21a of the base 21 is brought into contact with the front peripheral edge of the bracket receiving hole 2a formed in the cushion member 2 (see fig. 11 and 12). As shown in fig. 11 and 12, on the outer surface (surface away from the attached member 1) side of the base 21, a countersink 21b having a circular concave shape for receiving the head 73 of the pin member 70 is formed at a position corresponding to a pedestal 31 described later. The extending direction of the base 21 is referred to as "long direction X1", and the direction orthogonal to the long direction X1 is referred to as "width direction Y1" (the same applies to the long direction and the width direction in each portion constituting the bracket 20). In this embodiment, the longitudinal direction X1 of the base 21 and the sliding direction S of the clip 50 are the same direction.
Further, the clip attaching portion 30 is provided on one side portion of the base 21 in the longitudinal direction X1, that is, on the side portion of the base 21 opposite to the sliding direction S of the metal clip 50. On the other hand, a support portion 23 is provided on the other side portion of the base portion 21 in the longitudinal direction X1, that is, on the sliding direction S side of the metal clip 50 (side portion facing the sliding direction S) of the base portion 21. More specifically, a substantially cylindrical support portion 23 is provided on the other side portion of the base portion 21 in the longitudinal direction X1 at a position close to the clip attachment portion 30, and is erected from the inner surface (the surface facing the member 1 to be attached). The shaft portion 7 of the sun visor is inserted into the support portion 23, and the shaft portion 7 is rotatably supported (see fig. 11).
Further, a hook 25 is provided to extend toward the outside of the base 21 from a portion of the other side portion of the base 21 in the longitudinal direction X1, which is away from the clip attaching portion 30 and is adjacent to the support portion 23. As shown in fig. 11, the hook 25 is engaged with the back side of the hook mounting hole 5.
Further, the clip attaching portion 30 has: a pedestal portion 31, the pedestal portion 31 supporting the substrate 51 of the metal clip 50 and forming a bracket side insertion hole 32 through which the pin member 70 is inserted; and a pair of flange pressing portions 35, 35 provided on both sides of the pedestal portion 31, for pressing the pair of flange portions 53, 53 of the metal clip 50, so as to prevent the metal clip 50 from coming out in the insertion direction F of the pin member 70 with respect to the pedestal portion 31. The term "insertion direction of the pin member" in the present invention refers to the insertion direction of the pin member 70 with respect to the bracket side insertion hole 32 and the clip side insertion hole 57.
Specifically describing each portion, the pedestal 31 is provided so as to protrude from the inner surface of the base 21, and is a laterally long, substantially rectangular pedestal having a short length in the longitudinal direction X1 and a slightly long length in the width direction Y1 of the base 21. A bracket-side insertion hole 32 having a circular hole shape is formed in a central portion of the pedestal portion 31 in the width direction Y1. The bracket-side insertion hole 32 communicates with a spot facing portion 21b formed in the base 21 (see fig. 11 and 12), and the shaft portion 71 of the pin member 70 can be inserted into the bracket-side insertion hole 32 from the outer surface side of the base 21 via the spot facing portion 21 b.
The two side surfaces 31a, 31a of the pedestal 31 are parallel to each other and extend along the sliding direction S of the metal clip 50. Further, notches 33, 33 are formed on both side portions in the width direction Y1 of the front face 31b (the face facing the sliding direction S of the metal clip 50) of the pedestal 31. As shown in fig. 1 and 12, the shelf surface 31c of the pedestal 31 (the surface that protrudes from the inner surface of the base 21 to the highest and faces the surface of the attached member 1) is formed lower than the outer surface 37a of the pressing wall 37 of the flange pressing portion 35, which will be described later. The substrate 51 of the metal clip 50 is placed on the shelf surface 31c, and the metal clip 50 is supported.
In the case of this embodiment, in a state where the bracket 20 is attached to the attached member 1, as shown in fig. 12, the substrate 51 of the metal clip 50 is sandwiched between the shelf surface 31c of the pedestal 31 and the surface of the attached member 1.
The pair of flange pressing portions 35, 35 provided on both sides of the pedestal portion 31 are constituted by a pair of side walls 36, 36 which are erected parallel to each other from the inner surface of the base portion 21 at a position spaced apart from both side surfaces 31a, 31a of the pedestal portion 31 by a predetermined interval and extend in the sliding direction S of the metal clip 50, and pressing walls 37, 37 which are bent in a direction approaching each other from the front ends of the pair of side walls 36, 36 in the erecting direction. The pressing wall 37 is bent so as to be orthogonal to the side wall 36, and each flange pressing portion 35 has a substantially L-shaped frame shape.
Further, the protruding position of the outer surface 37a (the surface facing the surface of the mounted member 1) of the pressing wall 37 from the inner surface of the base 21 is higher than the shelf surface 31c of the pedestal 31 (see fig. 12).
The pair of flange pressing portions 35, 35 can be abutted against the surface side of the attached member 1 (see fig. 12). In the case of this embodiment, in a state where the bracket 20 is attached to the attached member 1, the outer surface 37a of the pressing wall 37 of each flange pressing portion 35 abuts against the surface of the attached member 1.
Then, the base plate 51 is slid with respect to the base portion 31 in a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction of the pin member 70, that is, the base plate 51 is slid with respect to the base portion 31 in a direction indicated by a sliding direction S in fig. 1, and the pair of flange portions 53, 53 are pressed by the pair of flange pressing portions 35, whereby the metal clip 50 is attached to the clip attaching portion 30 (see fig. 6).
The attaching process of the metal clip 50 to the clip attaching portion 30 will be described later, and as shown in fig. 8, the inner surface 37b (the surface opposite to the outer surface 37 a) of each pressing wall 37 is disposed so as to face each flange 53 of the metal clip 50 and is pressed (brought into contact) in a state in which the metal clip 50 is attached to the clip attaching portion 30. That is, the pair of flange pressing portions 35, 35 function as follows: the guide is formed when the metal clip 50 is slidably attached to the base portion 31, and the metal clip 50 is held against the base portion 31 in the insertion direction F of the pin member 70 (that is, the metal clip 50 is held against the base portion 31 so as not to move further toward the insertion direction F of the pin member 70). The movement of the metal clip 50 to the opposite side to the insertion direction F of the pin member 70 is restricted by the pedestal 31 of the bracket 20.
Further, the clip attaching portion 30 has: the elastic escape prevention claw portion 40 is elastically deformable, and can abut against a side edge portion 61a (a side edge portion 61a of the first abutting portion 61 shown in fig. 4 (a)) of the substrate 51 on the side opposite to the sliding direction S of the metal clip 50 in a state where the metal clip 50 is attached, preventing the metal clip 50 from escaping to the side opposite to the sliding direction S; and a slide restricting portion 45 that is capable of abutting against a side edge portion 62a of the substrate 51 on the sliding direction S side of the metal clip 50 (a side edge portion 62a of the second abutting portion 62 shown in fig. 4 (a)) when the metal clip 50 is slid, and restricting movement of the metal clip 50 in the sliding direction S.
More specifically, in the case of this embodiment, a pair of elastic retaining claw portions 40, 40 are provided in the pair of notch portions 33, 33 formed in the pedestal portion 31. Each elastic retaining claw portion 40 is constituted by a thin-walled extension piece 41 extending from the front side (the side facing the sliding direction S of the metal clip 50) of each notch portion 33, and a projection 43 projecting in the direction of separating from the inner surface of the base portion 21 (upward) at the front end portion of the extension piece 41 in the extending direction. As shown in fig. 3 (b), the elastic retaining claw portion 40 is elastically deformable with the fixed end (the base end of the extension piece 41) as a fulcrum so as to approach and separate from the inner surface of the base portion 21.
As shown in fig. 1 and 3 b, a tapered surface 43a is formed on one side surface (the side surface opposite to the sliding direction S of the metal clip 50) of the protrusion 43, and is inclined so as to become gradually higher from the front end surface of the protrusion 43 toward the fixed end side of the elastic retaining claw portion 40.
As shown in fig. 5, when the metal clip 50 is to be attached to the clip attaching portion 30 and the substrate 51 of the metal clip 50 is to be inserted in an inclined state with respect to the mount portion 31 and slid in the sliding direction S, the tapered surface 43a makes it difficult for the side edge portion 62a or the like of the substrate 51 of the metal clip 50 on the sliding direction S side to abut against the protrusion 43 of the elastic retaining claw portion 40 (makes interference difficult), and improves the attaching workability of the metal clip 50 to the clip attaching portion 30. Further, when the metal clip 50 is attached to the clip attaching portion 30, as shown in fig. 5, in a state in which the back surface of the base plate 51 of the metal clip 50 (the surface facing the inner surface of the base 21 of the bracket 20) is placed so as to be close to the inner surface of the base 21 without greatly tilting the base plate 51 of the metal clip 50 with respect to the pedestal portion 31, when the metal clip 50 is slid in the sliding direction S, the side edge portion 62a or the like on the sliding direction S side of the base plate 51 of the metal clip 50 presses the tapered surface 43a of the protrusion 43, whereby the elastic retaining claw portion 40 is elastically deformed in a direction approaching the inner surface of the base 21, and the pair of flange portions 53, 53 are easily brought into the inner sides of the pair of flange pressing portions 35, 35.
As shown in fig. 3b, an abutment surface 43b perpendicular to the extending direction of the extension piece 41 is formed on the other side surface (the sliding direction S side surface of the metal clip 50) of the protrusion 43. The contact surface 43b can contact the side edge portion 61a of the base plate 51 of the metal clip 50 on the side opposite to the sliding direction S, and serves as a portion for preventing the metal clip 50 from coming out on the side opposite to the sliding direction S.
The slide restricting portion 45 is provided so as to extend in the width direction Y1 of the base 21 from a position adjacent to the support portion 23 at a position intermediate to the inner surface of the base 21 in the longitudinal direction X1. The other side portion of the pedestal portion 31 in the longitudinal direction X1 is connected to the surface of the slide restricting portion 45 on the opposite side to the sliding direction S of the metal clip 50 in the middle portion in the width direction Y1. The other side portions of the flange pressing portions 35 in the longitudinal direction X1 are connected to the surfaces of the slide restricting portions 45 on both sides in the width direction Y1 and on the opposite sides to the slide direction S of the metal clip 50.
Then, when the base plate 51 of the metal clip 50 slides in the sliding direction with respect to the base portion 31, the side edge portion 62a of the second abutting portion 62 of the base plate 51 of the metal clip 50 located on the sliding direction S side abuts on the sliding restricting portion 45, and further sliding of the metal clip 50 in the sliding direction S is restricted.
The shelf surface 45a of the slide restricting portion 45 (the surface protruding from the inner surface of the base 21 to the highest and facing the surface of the attached member 1) is formed in a continuous and same plane shape having no step with respect to the outer surface 37a of the pressing wall 37 of each flange pressing portion 35, at a position higher than the protruding position of the shelf surface 31c of the pedestal portion 31 from the inner surface of the base 21. As shown in fig. 11, in a state where the bracket 20 is attached to the attached member 1, the shelf surface 45a of the slide restricting portion 45 abuts against the surface of the attached member 1.
Next, the metal clip 50 will be described in detail.
The metal clip 50 is formed by punching or bending a metal plate material having a predetermined thickness into a predetermined shape, and includes a base plate 51, a pair of flange portions 53, and a pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 provided to stand up from the base plate 51 as described in paragraph 0018.
As will be described with reference to fig. 4, the substrate 51 has a long plate shape extending in one direction. The substrate 51 is mounted on the shelf surface 31c of the mount portion 31 in a state where the metal clip 50 is attached to the clip attachment portion 30 of the bracket 20, and the surface (one surface in the thickness direction and the surface facing the surface of the attached member 1) thereof is set at the same height as the outer surface 37a of the pressing wall 37 of each flange pressing portion 35 (see fig. 8 and 12). The substrate 51 can be in contact with the surface side of the mounted member 1, that is, the surface of the substrate 51 can be in contact with the surface of the mounted member 1 (see fig. 12). The extending direction of the substrate 51 is referred to as "long direction X2", and the direction orthogonal to the long direction X2 is referred to as "width direction Y2" (the same applies to the long direction and the width direction in each portion constituting the metal clip 50). In the case of this embodiment, the width direction Y2 of the substrate 51 is the same as the longitudinal direction X1 of the base 21 of the bracket 20 and the sliding direction S of the metal clip 50, and the longitudinal direction X2 of the substrate 51 is the same as the width direction Y1 of the base 21 of the bracket 20 (see fig. 1).
A circular hole-like through hole is formed in the center of the substrate 51 in the longitudinal direction X2 and in the center of the substrate in the width direction Y2, and a cylindrical portion 56 having a cylindrical shape is provided to stand up from the surface side peripheral edge of the through hole. The inner space of the cylindrical portion 56 and the through hole formed in the substrate 51 serve as a clip-side insertion hole 57 into which the shaft portion 71 of the pin member 70 is inserted (see fig. 4 (a)). Further, a screw groove 56a is formed in the inner periphery of the tubular portion 56 and the inner periphery of the through hole, and the screw groove 56a is screwed with a screw groove 71a formed in the outer periphery of the shaft portion 71 of the pin member 70 (see fig. 11 and 12).
The pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 are provided so as to be opposed to each other in the sliding direction S of the substrate 51 with respect to the base portion 31, and are erected from the substrate 51. In the case of this embodiment, the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 are provided to stand up so as to face each other in the sliding direction S of the base plate 51 with respect to the base plate 31 from both side portions in the width direction Y2 of the base plate 51, that is, from side edge portions extending in the longitudinal direction X2. The pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 are disposed so that the elastic deformation direction (the direction of deflection deformation) thereof is opposite to each other along the sliding direction S of the metal clip 50.
As shown in fig. 4 (c), the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 is constituted by: base end portions 58, 58 that are provided so as to be inclined outward so as to slightly open from the side edge portions of the substrate 51; intermediate portions 59, 59 extending obliquely inward from the front ends of the base end portions 58, 58 in the vertical direction so as to approach each other; and distal ends 60, 60 formed by bending from the distal ends of the intermediate portions 59, 59 in the extending direction in a substantially U-shape. As shown in fig. 4 (b), a window portion 58a is formed by cutting in the middle of the base end portion 58 in the width direction, and the elastic engagement piece 55 is easily elastically deformed as a whole.
As shown in fig. 4 (c), the distance W2 between the outer surfaces of the base end portions 58, 58 is slightly larger than the width of the clip attachment hole 4 on the short axis side. Therefore, when the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 are inserted into the clip mounting hole 4, the base end portions 58, 58 are pressed by the inner periphery of the clip mounting hole 4, the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 are slightly elastically deformed inward of the clip mounting hole 4, and simultaneously inserted into the clip mounting hole 4, and the base end portions 58, 58 are temporarily engaged with the inner periphery of the clip mounting hole 4. As a result, the bracket 20 can be temporarily held in the clip mounting hole 4 via the metal clip 50 in a state before the pin member 70 is inserted into the bracket side insertion hole 32 and the clip side insertion hole 57.
As shown in fig. 4 (c), the distance W1 between the facing surfaces (inner surfaces) of the pair of distal ends 60, 60 is smaller than the outer diameter of the shaft portion 71 of the pin member 70. Therefore, when the shaft portion 71 of the pin member 70 is inserted between the pair of tip portions 60, the tip portions 60, 60 are pressed by the shaft portion 71, and as shown in fig. 11, the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 are elastically deformed so as to be pressed open. As a result, the base end portions 58, 58 are opened, and therefore, these base end portions 58, 58 engage with the inner periphery of the clip mounting hole 4, and the bracket 20 is mounted to the clip mounting hole 4 via the metal clip 50. In this state, the shaft portion 71 of the pin member 70 is interposed between the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, and therefore elastic deformation of the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 inward of the clip attachment hole 4 is restricted. In this state, since each elastic engagement piece 55 is elastically restored, the pair of distal ends 60, 60 sandwich the shaft portion 71 of the pin member 70.
The substrate 51 of the metal clip 50 further includes: the first contact portion 61 protrudes to the opposite side of the base end portion 58, 58 of the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 in the standing direction from the sliding direction S of the base plate 51 with respect to the base portion 31, and can contact the elastic drop-preventing claw portion; and a second abutting portion 62 that protrudes toward the sliding direction S side of the base plate 51 with respect to the base portion 31 than the base end portions 58, 58 in the standing direction of the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, and can abut against the sliding restricting portion 45.
As shown in fig. 4 (a), the pair of first contact portions 61, 61 extend from both side portions of the substrate 51 in the longitudinal direction X2 toward the side opposite to the sliding direction S than the base end portion 58 of the elastic engagement piece 55 at one side of the substrate 51 in the width direction Y2, that is, at the side opposite to the sliding direction S of the metal clip 50. As also shown in fig. 4 (a), the pair of second contact portions 62, 62 extend from both side portions of the base plate 51 in the longitudinal direction X2 toward the sliding direction S side of the base end portion 58 of the elastic engagement piece 55 at the other side portion of the base plate 51 in the width direction Y2, that is, at the other side portion of the slide direction S side of the metal clip 50. The first contact portion 61 and the second contact portion 62 may be disposed on both side portions in the width direction Y2 of the substrate 51 so as to be aligned in the longitudinal direction X2 (see fig. 4 (a)).
Then, as shown in fig. 7, the side edge portion 61a of the first abutting portion 61 can abut against the abutting surface 43b of the projection 43 provided on the elastic retaining claw portion 40 of the clip attaching portion 30, preventing the metal clip 50 from coming off to the side opposite to the sliding direction S. As shown in fig. 7, the side edge portion 62a of the second abutting portion 62 can abut on the slide restricting portion 45 provided in the clip attaching portion 30, and the sliding movement of the metal clip 50 in the sliding direction S is restricted. The maximum width W3 of the metal clip 50 in the width direction Y2 (the lengths of the side edge portion 61a of the first abutting portion 61 and the side edge portion 62a of the second abutting portion 62, see fig. 4 (a)) is formed smaller than the clip receiving width W4 of the clip attaching portion 30 (the lengths of the abutting surface 43b of the protrusion 43 of the elastic drop-preventing claw portion 40 and the sliding restricting portion 45, see fig. 2). As a result, in a state where the clip attaching portion 30 is attached with the metal clip 50, as shown in fig. 7, a gap is generated between the side edge portion 61a of the first abutting portion 61 and the abutting surface 43b of the projection 43, and a gap is also generated between the side edge portion 62a of the second abutting portion 62 and the sliding restricting portion 45.
As shown in fig. 4 (b), the pair of flange portions 53 and 53 extend from the base plate 51 via the step 63 to a position closer to the base portion 21 than the pedestal portion 31, and are disposed so as to enter the inner sides of the pair of flange pressing portions 35 and 35, as shown in fig. 8 and 12.
More specifically, as shown in fig. 4 (a) and (b), each of the flange portions 53 has a shape extending outward in the longitudinal direction X2 of the substrate 51 from a position closer to the base 21 of the bracket 20 than the pedestal portion 31 with respect to the substrate 51 via a step 63 formed by a convex folded portion 63a located at the same height as the substrate 51, an inclined portion 63b inclined obliquely outward toward the base 21 of the bracket 20 via the convex folded portion 63a, and a concave folded portion 63c located at the front end of the inclined portion 63b in the extending direction.
The flange portions 53 are disposed so as to face the inner surface 37b of the pressing wall 37 of the flange pressing portion 35 of the bracket 20. In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 8 and 12, in a state in which the metal clip 50 is attached to the clip attaching portion 30 of the bracket 20 and the substrate 51 is placed on the shelf surface 31c of the pedestal portion 31, each flange portion 53 abuts and engages with the inner surface 37b of the pressing wall 37 of each flange pressing portion 35. In order to attach the metal clip 50 to the clip attaching portion 30, when the metal clip 50 is slid in the sliding direction S on the pedestal portion 31, the flange portions 53 are slidably brought into contact with the inner surfaces 37b of the pressing walls 37 of the flange pressing portions 35, and serve as guides for the sliding operation of the metal clip 50.
As shown in fig. 8 and 12, the inclined portion 63b of the step 63 is disposed so as to face the side surface 37c of the pressing wall 37 of each flange pressing portion 35, and when the metal clip 50 is slid on the pedestal portion 31, the metal clip 50 is held in a stable posture with the clip 50 being hardly laterally offset with respect to the pedestal portion 31 in a state where the clip attaching portion 30 is attached.
The both side edges of the step 63 and the flange 53 in the width direction Y2 extend similarly to the side edges of the first contact portion 61 and the side edges of the second contact portion 62 toward the side opposite to the sliding direction S and the sliding direction S, and are continuous side edges without steps with respect to the side edges 61a of the first contact portion 61 and the side edges 62a of the second contact portion 62.
The portions constituting the metal clip 50 described above, that is, the base plate 51, the flange portion 53, the elastic engagement piece 55, the tubular portion 56, the first abutting portion 61, the second abutting portion 62, and the like are all integrally formed.
(modification)
The bracket, the metal clip, and the pin member constituting the sun visor mounting device of the present invention are not limited to the above-described configuration, but the shapes and configurations of the respective portions (the base portion, the support portion, the clip attachment portion, the hook, and the like) constituting the bracket, the respective portions (the pedestal portion, the flange pressing portion, the elastic drop-preventing claw portion, the sliding restricting portion, and the like) constituting the clip attachment portion, and the respective portions (the base plate, the flange portion, the elastic engaging piece, the first abutting portion, the second abutting portion, and the like) constituting the metal clip are also limited to the above-described configuration.
The base 21 of the bracket 20 is formed in a long shape in the sliding direction S of the metal clip 50, but may be, for example, a substantially rectangular plate shape, an elliptical plate shape, or the like. The pair of flange pressing portions 35, 35 have a substantially L-shaped frame shape, but may have a shape extending obliquely in a substantially splay shape when viewed from the front side (when viewed from the sliding direction side), for example. Further, the projection 43 of the elastic escape prevention claw portion 40 projects upward from the front end portion of the extension piece 41, but the projection may project in a direction (downward) close to the inner surface of the base portion.
The substrate 51 of the metal clip 50 has a long plate shape, but may be square, oval, or the like, for example. Further, although the screw groove 56a is formed in the inner periphery of the tubular portion 56 and the inner periphery of the through hole, the shaft portion of the pin member may be a self-tapping screw without forming a screw groove. The pair of elastic engagement pieces may extend in a substantially splayed shape, and may engage with the inner periphery of the clip attachment hole. The flange 53 extends through one step 63, but the flange may extend through two or more steps. The first contact portion 61 and the second contact portion 62 are provided at positions on both sides of the substrate 51 in the width direction Y2 and matched in the longitudinal direction X2, but the first contact portion and the second contact portion may be provided at positions offset from each other on both sides of the substrate in the width direction.
(effects of action)
Next, the operational effects of the sun visor mounting device 10 configured as described above will be described.
When the metal clip 50 is attached to the clip attaching portion 30 of the bracket 20, as shown in fig. 5, the side portion on the sliding direction S side of the base plate 51 of the metal clip 50 is inserted in an inclined state with respect to the extending direction front end portions of the pair of flange pressing portions 35, 35 of the pedestal portion 31, so that the pair of flange portions 53, 53 enter the inside of the pair of flange pressing portions 35, 35. Then, the pair of flange portions 53, 53 of the metal clip 50 are guided while being in sliding contact with the pressing walls 37, 37 of the pair of flange pressing portions 35, and the back surface of the base plate 51 of the metal clip 50 is gradually brought into parallel with the inner surface of the base 21 of the bracket 20, and the base plate 51 presses the protrusions 43, elastically deforming the pair of elastic retaining claw portions 40, 40 in a direction approaching the inner surface of the base 21.
As described above, the metal clip 50 may be slid in the sliding direction S in a state where the back surface of the substrate 51 of the metal clip 50 is placed so as to approach the inner surface of the base 21 so as not to be greatly inclined with respect to the substrate 51 of the metal clip 50. In this case, the side edge portion 62a or the like of the base plate 51 of the metal clip 50 on the sliding direction S side presses the tapered surface 43a of the protrusion 43, and the elastic retaining claw portion 40 is elastically deformed in a direction approaching the inner surface of the base portion 21, so that the pair of flange portions 53, 53 can be brought into the inner sides of the pair of flange pressing portions 35, 35.
When the metal clip 50 is pushed into the sliding direction S to the maximum, the side edge portion 62a of the base plate 51 on the sliding direction S side abuts against the sliding restricting portion 45 (here, the side edge portion 62a of the second abutting portion 62 and the side edge portion of the step 63 and the flange portion 53 on the sliding direction S side abut against the sliding restricting portion 45), and further sliding is restricted. At the same time, the pair of elastic retaining claw portions 40, 40 are elastically restored, and therefore, the abutment surfaces 43b, 43b of the protrusions 43, 43 are disposed opposite to the side edge portions 61a, 61a (the side edge portion 61a of the first abutment portion 61) of the substrate 51 on the side opposite to the sliding direction S (refer to fig. 7, 9). The pair of flange portions 53 and 53 of the metal clip 50 are disposed so as to face the inner surfaces 37b and 37b of the pressing walls 37 and 37 of the pair of flange pressing portions 35 and 35 (see fig. 8). As a result, as shown in fig. 6, the metal clip 50 is attached to the clip attaching portion 30, and the metal clip 50 can be temporarily held to the bracket 20.
In this state, even if the metal clip 50 is to be separated from the inner surface of the base 21 of the bracket 20, the pair of flange portions 53, 53 engage with the inner surfaces 37b, 37b of the pressing walls 37, and therefore the metal clip 50 is held against the mount portion 31 in the insertion direction F of the pin member 70. Further, even if the metal clip 50 is slid from the base portion 31 to the side opposite to the sliding direction S, the side edge portions 61a, 61a of the first abutting portions 61, 61 abut and are caught by the abutting surfaces 43b, 43b of the protrusions 43, 43 of the pair of elastic escape prevention claw portions 40, so that the metal clip 50 is prevented from escaping from the base portion 31 to the side opposite to the sliding direction S.
Therefore, the metal clip 50 is prevented from being removed in the insertion direction F of the pin member 70 with respect to the base portion 31 by the pair of flange pressing portions 35, and is prevented from being removed on the side opposite to the sliding direction S by the pair of elastic retaining claw portions 40, so that the metal clip 50 can be firmly attached to the clip attaching portion 30 and the metal clip 50 can be temporarily held to the bracket 20.
As described above, in a state where the metal clip 50 is temporarily held in the bracket 20, the other side portion in the longitudinal direction X1 of the bracket 20 is brought close to the cushioning member 2 and the attached member 1, one side portion in the longitudinal direction X1 of the bracket 20 is brought into a posture away from the cushioning member 2 and the attached member 1, the hook 25 provided in the bracket 20 is inserted obliquely from the front side of the hook attachment hole 5, and while being hooked on the hook attachment hole 5, the one side portion in the longitudinal direction X1 of the bracket 20 is brought close to the cushioning member 2, and the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 of the metal clip 50 are pushed in from the front side of the clip attachment hole 4. Then, the hooks 25 are engaged with the back side of the hook mounting holes 5, and the base end portions 58, 58 are pressed by the inner periphery of the clip mounting holes 4, and the pair of elastic engaging pieces 55, 55 are inserted into the clip mounting holes 4 while being elastically deformed. When the metal clip 50 is press-fitted, the base ends 58, 58 of the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 are inserted from the back side of the clip mounting hole 4, and temporarily engage with the inner periphery of the clip mounting hole 4, and the outer peripheral edge portion 21a of the bracket 20 abuts against the front side peripheral edge of the bracket receiving hole 2a formed in the cushioning member 2, so that the bracket 20 is temporarily held in the clip mounting hole 4 via the metal clip 50. As shown in fig. 11 and 12, the shelf surface 45a of the slide restricting portion 45 is in contact with the surface of the mounted member 1, the outer surfaces 37a, 37a of the pressing walls 37, 37 of the pair of flange pressing portions 35, 35 are in contact with the surface of the mounted member 1, and the surface side of the predetermined portion of the base plate 51 of the metal clip 50 is in contact with the front side peripheral edge of the clip mounting hole 4.
Then, the pin member 70 is fastened and fixed to the cylindrical portion 56 of the metal clip 50. That is, the shaft portion 71 of the pin member 70 is inserted into the bracket side insertion hole 32 and the clip side insertion hole 57 of the metal clip 50 from the spot facing portion 21b side of the bracket 20, the screw groove 71a of the shaft portion 71 is screwed with the screw groove 56a of the metal clip 50, and the pin member 70 is rotated until the head portion 73 of the pin member 70 abuts against the bottom surface of the spot facing portion 21 b. Then, as shown in fig. 11 and 12, the shaft portion 71 of the pin member 70 is inserted between the tip portions 60, 60 of the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 are pressed and opened, the base end portions 58, 58 are opened, and these base end portions 58, 58 are engaged with the inner periphery of the clip mounting hole 4 with a higher engaging force than before the pin member 70 is inserted. As a result, the metal clip 50 is fixed to the bracket 20, and the bracket 20 can be attached to the clip attachment hole 4 via the metal clip 50. That is, the bracket 20 can be attached to the attached member 1, and the sun visor can be attached to the attached member 1.
For maintenance, replacement of parts, and the like, it is sometimes desirable to remove the metal clip 50 from the bracket 20. In this case, first, the pin member 70 is rotated in a direction opposite to the rotation direction at the time of fastening and fixing, and the shaft portion 71 is pulled out from the cylindrical portion 56 and removed. Then, the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 are elastically deformable, so that the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 are pulled out from the clip mounting hole 4, and the hook 25 is pulled out from the hook mounting hole 5. Then, the pair of elastic retaining claw portions 40, 40 are elastically deformed by pressing the protrusions 43, 43 of the pair of elastic retaining claw portions 40, 40 in a direction approaching the inner surface side of the base 21 so that the abutment surfaces 43b, 43b of the protrusions 43, 43 are not opposed to the side edge portions 61a, 61a of the first abutment portions 61, 61 and are not abutted against each other, and the metal clip 50 can be removed from the clip attaching portion 30 by sliding the metal clip 50 to the side opposite to the sliding direction S with respect to the base portion 31 while maintaining the elastically deformed state.
Then, in this sun visor mounting device 10, when attaching the metal clip 50 to the clip attaching portion 30, the metal clip 50 can be easily attached to the clip attaching portion 30 by simply sliding the base plate 51 of the metal clip 50 with respect to the base portion 31 in the direction orthogonal to the insertion direction of the pin member 70, pressing the pair of flange portions 53, 53 with the pair of flange pressing portions 35, and releasing the side edge portion 61a of the metal clip 50 on the side opposite to the sliding direction S with the elastic releasing-preventing claw portion 40. Further, when the metal clip 50 is removed from the clip attaching portion 30, the metal clip 50 can be easily removed from the clip attaching portion 30 only by a simple operation of sliding the base plate 51 of the metal clip 50 to the side opposite to the sliding direction S at the time of clip attachment in a state where the elastic retaining pawl 40 is elastically deformed so as not to abut against the side edge portion 61a of the metal clip 50 opposite to the sliding direction S. In this manner, in the sun visor mounting device 10, the metal clip 50 can be easily attached to and detached from the clip attachment portion 30 of the bracket 20.
Further, by inserting the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 of the metal clip 50 attached to the clip attachment portion 30 into the clip attachment hole 4 of the attached member 1 and engaging with the inner periphery of the clip attachment hole 4, and inserting the pin member 70 between the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 through the bracket-side insertion hole 32 and the clip-side insertion hole 57, elastic deformation of the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 inward of the clip attachment hole 4 is restricted, the bracket 20 can be firmly attached to the clip attachment hole 4, and the sun visor can be firmly attached to the attached member 1.
As shown in fig. 12, the engagement amount between the pair of flange portions 53 and 53 of the metal clip 50 and the pair of flange pressing portions 35 and 35 of the clip attachment portion 30 (the engagement area between the inner surface 37b of the pressing wall 37 and the flange portion 53) can be ensured to be large, so that the metal clip 50 is not easily disengaged from the base portion 31 in the insertion direction of the pin member 70, the bracket 20 can be firmly attached to the clip attachment hole 4, and a high pulling load can be obtained.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 12, the pair of flange pressing portions 35 and 35 of the clip attachment portion 30 and the base plate 51 can be abutted against the surface side of the attached member 1, and the pair of flange portions 53 and 53 of the metal clip 50 are arranged to extend from the base plate 51 via the step 63 at a position closer to the base portion 21 than the pedestal portion, and enter the inside of the pair of flange pressing portions 35 and 35.
By adopting the above-described configuration, the base portion 21 of the bracket 20 can be brought close to the surface side of the attached member 1, and therefore stable attachment can be achieved. Further, since the metal clip 50 substrate 51 can be brought into contact with the surface of the mounted member 1 in addition to the pair of flange pressing portions 35, both the pair of flange pressing portions 35, 35 and the substrate 51 of the metal clip 50 can be brought into contact with the surface of the mounted member 1, and the bracket 20 and the metal clip 50 can be mounted in a stable posture with respect to the mounted member 1.
In this embodiment, the substrate 51 of the metal clip 50 further includes: the first contact portion 61 protrudes to the opposite side of the base end portion 58, 58 of the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 in the standing direction from the sliding direction S of the base plate 51 with respect to the base portion 31, and can contact the elastic drop-preventing claw portion; and a second abutting portion 62 that protrudes toward the sliding direction S side of the base plate 51 with respect to the base portion 31 than the base end portions 58, 58 in the standing direction of the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, and can abut against the sliding restricting portion 45.
With the above configuration, when the metal clip 50 is attached to the clip attachment portion 30, the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 provided to stand up from the base plate 51 can be made less likely to interfere with the elastic escape prevention claw portion 40 and the slide restricting portion 45, and can be easily elastically deformed. As a result, when the bracket 20 is attached to the attached member 1, the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 are easily inserted into the clip attachment hole 4, and when the bracket 20 is removed from the attached member 1, the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 are easily pulled out from the clip attachment hole 4.
In this embodiment, the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 are provided so as to stand up from the base plate 51 so as to face each other in the sliding direction S of the base plate 51 with respect to the base plate 31, and the bracket 20 is provided with the hook 25 at a position separated from the clip attachment portion 30 in the sliding direction S of the base plate 51 with respect to the base plate 31, and the hook 25 is engaged with the hook attachment hole 5 formed in the attached member 1.
With the above configuration, the metal clip 50 is easily pressed in when the metal clip 50 is attached to the clip attaching portion 30. That is, the operator presses the metal clip 50 easily because the operator presses a portion (here, the base end portion 58 and the intermediate portion 59) which is not the side edge portion of the elastic engagement piece 55 but is ensured to be large in area, instead of pressing the side edge portion of the elastic engagement piece 55 having many edges and corners.
Further, by providing the hooks 25, a higher pulling load can be obtained (because the hooks 25 are hooked on the hook mounting holes 5 in the case where the pulling load acts on the direction in which the bracket 20 is pulled out from the mounted member 1). Further, since the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 are provided so as to face each other in the sliding direction S of the base plate 51 with respect to the base portion 31, and the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 of the metal clip 50 are pressed into the clip mounting hole 4 while the hooks 25 are hooked to the hook mounting holes 5 of the mounted member 1, the pressing force applied from the clip mounting hole 4 to the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 is in the same direction as the facing direction of the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, and therefore the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 are easily elastically deformed (flexed), and the pair of elastic engagement pieces 55, 55 can be easily inserted into the clip mounting hole 4 and easily engaged.
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention, and such embodiments are also included in the scope of the present invention.
