However, in such a conventional offset clip, as shown in FIG. 8, when the optimum offset amount from the fixing hole of the fixing panel differs depending on the position of the fixing hole, the offset portion 3 is not used. , A plurality of types of offset clips 1 having different offset amounts are required. Also, if the diameter of the fixing holes and the thickness of the fixing panel are different,
Since it is necessary to form the anchor portion 4 corresponding to the same, it is necessary to use a plurality of types of offset clips 1 similarly for offset clips having the same offset amount. For this reason, there are problems that various types of molds are required for molding the offset clip, which makes management difficult, and that each mold becomes large and the mold manufacturing cost increases.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and an offset clip capable of reducing the number of types of dies and reducing costs by downsizing the dies. The purpose is to provide.

[0006]

An offset clip according to the present invention is an offset clip for fixing a wire harness in a state where the wire harness is offset by a predetermined amount with respect to a fixing portion.

Or, since it is configured to be fixed to each other via a plurality of offset connecting portions, if the mounting portion and the mounting portion are directly connected, the mounting portion and the mounting portion can be used as an offset clip having the shortest offset amount. If an offset connecting portion is interposed between the clips, the clip can be used as an offset clip having an offset amount corresponding to the number of the inserted offset connecting portions. For this reason, parts can be shared and the number of molds can be reduced. Further, even when the shape of the fixing portion is different, it is only necessary to use a different shape only for the mounting portion. In this case, the components can be shared, and the number of molds can be reduced. it can. Furthermore, the mounting part, the mounting part, and the offset connecting part are formed as separate parts, whereby the size of the mold can be reduced, and the cost of the mold can be reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an offset clip according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the same connected state. As shown in the drawing, the offset clip 11 of this embodiment has a winding portion 12 having a rectangular flat plate shape and both ends thereof rising slightly, and the winding portion 1
2, an offset connecting portion 13 which is connected to the center of the side end and which gives a predetermined offset amount at a right angle to the longitudinal direction of the winding portion 12, and which is connected to the distal end side of the offset connecting portion 13 and is provided so as to rise in the surface direction. Anchor part 14
Consists of The winding portion 12, the offset connecting portion 13, and the anchor portion 14 are each formed of a separate resin molded part. Winding part 12 and offset connecting part 13
Refers to a hole 121 formed at a side end of the winding portion 12,
Projection 131 protruding from the base end side of offset connecting portion 13
Is fixed by press-fitting, inserting and bonding. Similarly, the offset connecting portion 13 and the anchor portion 14 press-fit, insert, and bond a projection 141 projecting from the base end side of the anchor portion 14 into a hole 132 formed on the distal end side of the offset connecting portion 13. Fixed by Hole 121 and hole 1
32, and the protrusion 131 and the protrusion 141 have the same shape and the same size, respectively.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which the offset clip 11 configured as described above is mounted on the wire harness 15. The offset clip 11 is attached so that the longitudinal direction of the winding portion 12 is along the wire harness 15, and both ends of the winding portion 12 in the longitudinal direction are tape 1.

Secured by

If the required offset amount is smaller than this, the offset connecting portion 13 may be omitted and the winding portion 12 and the anchor portion 14 may be directly connected. When the required offset amount is larger than that in FIG. 3, two or more offset connecting portions 13 are connected to each other as shown in FIG.
7 may be formed. If the length that is the greatest common divisor of the required offset amount is the length of the offset connecting portion 13, an offset clip that can handle various offset amounts can be composed of only three types of components.

As described above, an arbitrary offset amount can be set by combining a plurality of offset connecting portions 13, so that a molding die corresponding to the offset amount becomes unnecessary. In addition, when the plate thickness and the hole diameter of the fixed panel are different even with the same offset amount, it is possible to cope by changing only the anchor portion 14, so that a mold having only the anchor portion 14 may be manufactured, which is required. The number of molds is kept to a minimum. Further, by dividing the components in this way, the mold itself can be reduced in size.

In the above embodiment, the two parts are connected by using the fixing hole of the fixing panel as the fixing part and the anchor part 14 as the mounting part. However, as shown in FIG. When the screw portion 23 is formed, the screw portion 2 is used instead of the anchor portion 14.

Further, the present invention is also applicable to an offset clip using a band or the like wound directly around the wire harness 15 instead of the above-described winding portion 12 as a mounting portion to the wire harness 15.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the mounting portion to the wire harness and the mounting portion to the fixing portion constituting the offset clip are formed by different molded parts, respectively, and are fixed to each other. Alternatively, since the components are fixed to each other via a plurality of offset connecting portions, common components can be used for various offset amounts, and the number of molds can be reduced. Further, even when the shape and the like of the fixing portion are different, it is only necessary to use a shape having a different shape only for the mounting portion. In this case, the components can be shared and the number of molds can be reduced. it can. Furthermore, the mounting part, the mounting part, and the offset connecting part are formed as separate parts, whereby the size of the mold can be reduced, and the cost of the mold can be reduced.
