2. Description of the Related Art At the feet of the front seats of automobiles, the surface of the floor panel is
A dash silencer made of rubber or fiber is attached. On the other hand, the foot placed on the accelerator pedal may collide with the floor panel via the accelerator pedal and the dash silencer against an unexpected impact such as a car collision.

Therefore, on the surface of the dash silencer,
It is considered that a floor pad made of a material such as foamed polystyrene is attached and the impact of the deformation of the floor pad is absorbed to reduce the impact when the vehicle hits the floor panel.

By the way, since the floor pad absorbs an impact by deformation, a floor pad having a wall thickness of about 20 mm is desired. However, with this wall thickness, the adhesive force cannot be maintained by bonding with a double-sided tape or the like. Attach the floor pad to the dash silencer via a clip or the like.

For example, as shown in FIG. 13, a hole portion 200A is formed in the floor pad 200. Generally, since a soft material is used for the floor pad 200, the hole 200A
The annular grommets 202 and 204 are attached to the hole portion 200A in order to maintain the shape of the peripheral edge portion. The annular grommets 202 and 204 can be engaged with each other,

A and 204A are inserted in the hole 200A.

Here, the boss 202A can be externally inserted to the boss 204A, and the boss 202A and the boss 204 can be inserted.
A and A are arranged in the hole portion 200A in an overlapping state and are engaged with each other. This allows the annular grommets 202, 204 to be held with the flanges 202B, 204B of the annular grommets 202, 204 sandwiching the peripheral edge of the floor pad 200.
Are attached to the floor pad 200.

On the other hand, the dash silencer 206 has a hole 2
06A is formed, and the engaging member 208 is engaged. The engagement member 208 is provided with an annular base plate 210, and a pair of leg pieces 212 hang down from the vicinity of the inner edge of the base plate 210, and can be bent outward.

The base plate 21 is attached to the tip of the leg piece 212.
A connection section 214 is provided so as to face 0, and a pair of columns 216 are erected on the connection section 214 toward the base plate 210 side.

The connection section 214, the leg pieces 212, and the support columns 216 are inserted into the holes 206A, and the base plate 210 is inserted.
14 is brought into face-to-face contact with the dash silencer 206, and the leg pieces 212 are bent to expose the tip end portions of the support columns 216 from the upper surface of the base plate 210 as shown in FIG. And in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, when the support 216 is inserted into the hole 200A of the floor pad 200, the tip of the support 216 is locked to the inner edge of the flange 202B of the annular grommet 202.

As a result, the floor pad 200 is attached to the dash silencer 206 via the engaging member 208 and the annular grommets 202, 204, but the annular grommet 202 and the annular grommet 204 must be attached to the floor pad 200 in advance. It is troublesome. Moreover, the number of man-hours required for the mounting work is large, and the cost is increased.

[0011]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In consideration of the above facts, an object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive clip which can be easily attached.

[0012]

According to the first aspect of the invention, the clip is composed of a male member and a female member, and the male member and the female member are engaged with each other and laid in the vehicle. Attach the second rug to the first rug.

Here, the male member is composed of a leg and a male flange, and the leg is inserted into a second hole formed in the second rug and temporarily fixed to the second rug, The male flange projects from the head of the leg and faces the peripheral edge of the second hole.

On the other hand, the female member is provided with a cylindrical body which is inserted into the first hole formed in the first rug and temporarily fixed to the first rug, and into which the leg body can be inserted. A female flange is projected from one end of the cylindrical body so that the peripheral surface of the first hole can be contacted.

Further, a lock piece is provided on the wall surface of the cylindrical body, and when the leg body of the male member is pushed into the cylinder body, the lock piece is pushed out by the leg body and protrudes outward, and between the male flange and the male flange. The second rug is sandwiched between the female flange and the first rug. Thereby, the second rug is attached to the first rug.

Here, before attaching the second rug to the first rug, the male member and the female member are temporarily fixed to the second rug and the first rug, respectively, so that the workability is good, and the female rug is good. The attachment is easy because the second rug is attached to the first rug simply by engaging the male member with the member. Therefore, the number of man-hours required for the mounting work can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the cylindrical body is formed into a substantially prismatic shape, and the lock piece is a cantilever in which the wall surface of the cylindrical body is cut out in a U-shape, and the locking piece projects in parallel with the female flange. There is.

Therefore, the amount of protrusion of the lock piece can be increased as compared with the case where the cylindrical body has a substantially cylindrical shape having a diameter substantially the same as the width of the substantially prismatic cylindrical body. further,
By making the legs substantially prismatic, it is easy to determine the engagement direction between the male member and the female member.

According to the third aspect of the invention, the projection is provided on the leg body, and when the leg body is inserted through the second hole portion, the leg body is engaged with the inner edge portion of the second hole portion. This allows the male member to be temporarily fixed to the second rug via the inner edge of the second hole. Therefore, the male member is simply temporarily fixed to the second rug simply by inserting the leg into the second hole.

According to the fourth aspect of the invention, the lock piece is sized so as to partially project from the outer wall surface of the tubular body, the tubular body is pushed into the first hole portion, and the protruding portion of the lock piece is the first hole. When passing the portion, the first rug is sandwiched between the protruding portion of the lock piece and the female flange. As a result, the female member is temporarily fixed to the first rug.

In the invention according to claim 5, the tip end portion of the leg body is provided with a male side inclined surface which is inclined toward the tip end, and when the leg body is pushed in, from the base side of the lock piece to the free end side. And the lock piece is projected outward in parallel with the female flange.

Thus, the lock member is gradually moved outward by changing the contact position from the base side of the lock piece to the free end side by the pushing operation of the leg body on which the male side inclined surface inclined toward the tip is formed. Can be spread to.

In the invention according to claim 6, the surface of the lock piece facing the female flange is a flat surface. Since the lock piece projects outward by the male member, the area where the lock piece is in contact with the first rug can be increased.

For example, when soft materials such as a dash silencer and a floor pad are used as the first rug and the second rug, respectively, the first holes formed in the first rug and the second rug, respectively. The dimensions of the first hole portion and the second hole portion vary, but by increasing the area where the lock piece is in contact with the first rug, the peripheral edge portion of the first hole portion between the lock piece and the female flange is increased. With the (first rug) securely held, the second member is surely put through the male member and the female member.
Can be attached to the first rug.

In the invention according to claim 7, a curved ridge line is provided on the male side inclined surface. As a result, when the male-side inclined surface of the male member comes into contact with the lock piece, the male-side inclined surface smoothly abuts.

[0026]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, a clip according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

As shown in FIG. 1, a dash silencer 10 made of a soft material such as rubber or fiber is formed on the surface of a floor panel (not shown) at the foot of an automobile seat to absorb engine sound and the like. Is attached.

On the other hand, at the foot of the driver's seat, the accelerator pedal 12 is arranged so as to be swingable substantially in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The clip is attached to the surface of the dash silencer 10 located below the accelerator pedal 12. A floor pad 16 is attached via 14. This reduces the impact when the foot placed on the accelerator pedal 12 hits the floor panel through the accelerator pedal 12 and the dash silencer 10 at the time of an unexpected impact such as a car collision.

Here, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the clip 14 is composed of a male member 18 and a female member 20, which can be engaged with each other. The male member 18 is provided with leg portions 22 having a substantially prismatic shape, and can be inserted into a rectangular hole 16A formed in the floor pad 16 made of a soft material.

Further, the male member 18 is provided with a rectangular flat plate-shaped male flange 24 on one end side of the leg portion 22.
The male flange 24 is capable of surface-contacting the peripheral edge portion of the rectangular hole 16A in a state where 2 is inserted into the rectangular hole 16A.

By the way, the leg 22 has a male flange 24.
Is provided with a pair of legs 26, 28 that are narrower than
The distance between the leg pieces 26 and 28 is shorter than the length of the male flange 24 in the longitudinal direction. Further, a guide wall 30 that is wider than the leg pieces 26, 28 is formed between the leg pieces 26, 28 at a predetermined distance from the leg pieces 26, 28. The width is substantially the same as the width of the male flange 24.

Further, on the outer surface side of the leg pieces 26, 28, projections 32, 34 are vertically provided along the longitudinal direction of the leg pieces 26, 28.
Are provided so that the distance between the protrusions 32 and between the protrusions 34 is slightly larger than that of the rectangular hole 16A. Thereby, when the leg portion 22 is inserted into the rectangular hole 16A, the protrusions 32 and 34 are locked to the inner edge portion of the rectangular hole 16A, and the male member 18 is temporarily fixed to the floor pad 16.

Here, a pair of counterbore portions 15 are recessed at positions facing the peripheral edge portion of the rectangular hole 16A, and both longitudinal end portions of the male flange 24 can be placed. Thereby, the directionality of the male member 18 when the male member 18 is inserted into the floor pad 16 can be obtained, and the male member 18 is engaged with the female member 20 to attach the floor pad 16 to the dash silencer 10. When
The male flange 24 is prevented from protruding from the upper surface of the floor pad 16.

By the way, between the leg pieces 26 and 28,
By forming the guide wall 30 at a predetermined distance from the leg pieces 26 and 28, the leg pieces 26 and 28 can be made thin. Therefore, the leg pieces 26 and 28 can be bent to reduce the distance between the protrusions 32 and the protrusions 34.

Further, the outer surfaces of the leg pieces 26 and 28 are not retracted after molding, and the distance between the projections 32 and the projections 34 projecting on the outer surface sides of the leg pieces 26 and 28 is smaller than the design dimension. It never happens. Therefore, when the leg portion 22 is inserted into the rectangular hole 16A, the male member 18 can be reliably fixed to the floor pad 16 temporarily.

Further, the abutting portion 3 is provided at the tip portion of the leg portion 22.
6 is provided and bridges the leg piece 26 and the leg piece 28. The contact portion 36 is divided into two along the guide wall 30, and a pair of inclined surfaces 38 that are inclined along the width direction of the guide wall 30 so as to intersect each other are formed.

On the other hand, the female member 20 is provided with a mounting portion 42 (cylindrical body) having a substantially prismatic shape and can be inserted into the rectangular hole 10A formed in the dash silencer 10. Further, the female member 20 is provided with a rectangular flat plate-shaped female flange 40 on one end side of the mounting portion 42.
The female flange 40 can be in contact with the peripheral edge of the rectangular hole 10A in a state where the female flange 40 is inserted into the rectangular hole 10A.

Here, the pair of peripheral walls 42A of the mounting portion 42 facing each other are cut out in a substantially U-shape so that a cantilevered elastic piece 44 (lock piece) is provided. I try to overhang in parallel.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the elastic piece 44 has a substantially triangular shape in plan view and widens from the base of the elastic piece 44 toward the free end side, and Each cross section along the longitudinal direction is formed in a triangular pyramid shape that forms a substantially triangular shape, and the upper surface 44A facing the female flange 40 is a flat surface.

The outer surface of the elastic piece 44 is attached to the mounting portion 42.
The outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 42A protrudes from the outer surface of the peripheral wall 42A, and the distance between the outer surfaces of the elastic pieces 44 is slightly larger than that of the rectangular hole 10A. As a result, the mounting portion 42
Is inserted into the rectangular hole 10A, the female member 20 is temporarily fixed to the dash silencer 10 with the dash silencer 10 being sandwiched between the female flange 40 and the elastic piece 44.

The inner surface of the elastic piece 44 is attached to the mounting portion 42.
Overhangs on the inner surface of the peripheral wall 42A. The elastic pieces 44 are arranged so as to be opposite to each other in a plan view, and the elastic pieces 44 face the position of the base of the elastic piece 44.
And the positions of the free ends of the are opposite to each other. Therefore, the distance between the inner surfaces of the elastic piece 44 along the longitudinal direction is always constant.

By the way, the mounting portion 42 is attached to the female flange 40.
An opening 40A communicating with the leg portion 22 is formed so that the leg portion 22 can be inserted therethrough. The width of the guide wall 30 formed on the leg portion 22 is substantially the same as the distance between the facing inner walls of the mounting portion 42, and the leg portion 22 is guided by the guide wall 30 to mount the female member 20. It is pushed into the portion 42.

On the other hand, the distance between the projections 32 and the projections 34 of the leg pieces 26 and 28 is slightly larger than the distance between the facing inner walls of the mounting portion 42.
8 is pushed in in a slightly bent state. And the male member 1
The inclined surface 38 formed on the contact portion 36 located at the tip of the leg portion 22 of No. 8 contacts the inner surface side of the elastic piece 44.

Here, for convenience of explanation, the tip side of the inclined surface 38 is a peak 38A and the base side is a valley 38B. Yamabe 3
8A is wider than the valley portion 38B, so that the peak portion 38A abuts on the base side of the elastic piece 44 and the valley portion 38B abuts on the free end side of the elastic piece 44.

As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the leg portion 22 of the male member 18 is inserted into the mounting portion 42 of the female member 20, and the leg portion 22 is inserted.
Is pushed inward from the mounting portion 42, the mountain portion 3 of the inclined surface 38 is
8A abuts on the top portion 44B on the base side of the elastic piece 44, and while changing the position of abutting from the crest portion 38A of the inclined surface 38 toward the trough portion 38B, the inclined surface 38 moves from the base side of the elastic piece 44 to the free end side. Slide the top portion 44B toward.

Since the inner surface side of the elastic piece 44 projects from the same surface as the inner surface side of the peripheral wall 42A of the mounting portion 42, the inclined surface 38 is moved by the movement of the male member 18 so that the top surface 44 of the elastic piece 44 is covered.
By sliding B, the elastic piece 44 elastically deforms and gradually projects outward. Here, the sloped surface 38 has a curved ridge line, and when the sloped surface 38 contacts the top portion 44B of the elastic piece 44, the sloped surface 38 abuts smoothly.

By the way, in the contact portion 36, a contact surface 46 is formed with a pair of inclined surfaces 38 interposed therebetween. On the other hand, the elastic piece 44 has a substantially triangular shape in plan view,
Since each cross section along the longitudinal direction of the elastic piece 44 is formed in a triangular pyramid shape that forms a substantially triangular shape, the contacted surface 48 located on the inner surface side of the elastic piece 44 extends in the longitudinal direction of the elastic piece 44. The inclination angle is different depending on each cross section. Therefore, the contact surface 46 is formed so as to be in contact with the contacted surface 48.

As a result, the inclined surface 38 of the male member 18 becomes
The top portion 4 of the elastic piece 44 extends from the mountain portion 38A to the valley portion 38B.
4B is slid, the contacted surface 48 located on the inner surface side of the elastic piece 44 protruding outward as shown in FIGS.
The contact surface 46 of the male member 18 comes into contact with the elastic member 44 to further project the elastic piece 44 to the outside.

Then, the leg piece 2 of the leg portion 22 of the male member 18
When the outer surfaces of 6, 28 reach the top portion 44B of the elastic piece 44, the elastic piece 44 is locked so as not to be restored, and the state in which the male member 18 is engaged with the female member 20 is maintained.

By the way, an opening 45 is formed above the peripheral wall 42A on which the elastic piece 44 of the mounting portion 42 is formed, and has a size such that the projections 32 and 34 can be arranged.
When the protrusions 32 and 34 are arranged in the opening 45, the leg pieces 26 and 28 are completely restored. At this time, the protrusion 32
Comes into contact with the upper edge of the opening 45 to prevent the male member 18 from coming off, and the male member 18 and the female member 20 are engaged with each other.

By the way, the elastic piece 44 is formed of a substantially triangular pyramid having a triangular cross section along the longitudinal direction of the elastic piece 44, and the upper surface 44A facing the female flange 40 is a flat surface. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, when the elastic piece 44 is bulged outward by the male member 18, the area where the elastic piece 44 is in contact with the dash silencer 10 increases.

Since the dash silencer 10 is made of a soft material, the dimension of the rectangular hole 10A varies, but by increasing the area where the elastic piece 44 is in contact with the peripheral portion of the rectangular hole 10A, the elastic piece 44 is increased. The peripheral edge portion of the rectangular hole 10A can be reliably sandwiched between and the female flange 40.

Further, the mounting portion 42 of the female member 20 is formed into a substantially rectangular shape, and the peripheral wall 42A of the mounting portion 42 is cut out in a U-shape to form the elastic piece 44, so that the mounting portion (not shown) is formed into the female member 20. The amount of protrusion of the elastic piece 44 can be increased as compared with the case where the elastic piece 44 has a substantially cylindrical shape having a diameter substantially the same as the width. Furthermore, by making the male member 18 and the female member 20 substantially rectangular, it becomes easy to determine the engagement direction between the male member 18 and the female member 20.

As described above, when the male member 18 is engaged with the female member 20, the floor pad 16 is reliably sandwiched between the female flange 40 of the female member 20 and the male flange 24 of the male member 18. Thereby, the female member 20 and the male member 18
Through the floor pad 16 to the dash silencer 10
Attached to.

Next, a method of using the clip according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

First, as shown in FIG. 3, the floor pad 1
The male member 18 is inserted into the rectangular hole 10 </ b> A formed in the hole 6, and the male flange 24 of the male member 18 is brought into surface contact with the surface of the floor pad 16. At this time, the projection 32 of the male member 18 is locked to the inner edge of the rectangular hole 10A of the floor pad 16, and the male member 18 is temporarily fixed to the floor pad 16.

On the other hand, the female member 20 is inserted through the rectangular hole 10A formed in the dash silencer 10, and the female flange 40 of the female member 20 is brought into surface contact with the surface of the dash silencer 10. At this time, the upper surface 44A of the elastic piece 44 of the female member 20
Contacts the back surface of the dash silencer 10, and the dash silencer 10 is attached to the female flange 40 of the female member 20 and the elastic piece 4.
4 and the upper surface 44A. Thereby, the female member 2
0 is temporarily fixed to the dash silencer 10.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 (however, in FIG. 4, the dash silencer 10 and the floor pad 16 are omitted), the male member 18 temporarily fixed to the floor pad 16 is provided. To the female member 20 temporarily fixed to the dash silencer 10, and the male member 18 to the female member 2
Insert to 0.

When the male member 18 is pushed inwardly of the female member 20, the ridge portion 38A of the inclined surface 38 formed on the male member 18 contacts the top portion 44B on the base side of the elastic piece 44, and the male member 18
By the movement of, the contact position of the top portion 44B is shifted from the mountain portion 38A of the inclined surface 38 to the valley portion 38B, and at the same time,
The elastic piece 44 gradually projects outward.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, when the male member 18 is pushed further into the female member 20, the male member 1
The contact surface 46 formed on the elastic member 44 is the contact surface 48 of the elastic piece 44.
The elastic piece 44 is spread and further extended outward. As a result, the area where the upper surface 44A of the elastic piece 44 contacts the dash silencer 10 further increases.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the leg pieces 26, 2 of the leg portion 22 of the male member 18 are crossed over the contact portion 36.
When the outer surface of 8 reaches the upper surface 44A of the elastic piece 44, the elastic piece 44 is maintained in a state of being bulged outward, and the projections 32 and 34 are arranged in the opening 45 of the mounting portion 42.
The projection 32 comes into surface contact with the upper edge of the opening 45, and the male member 18 and the female member 20 are engaged with each other.

At this time, the dash silencer 10 is securely sandwiched between the female flange 40 and the upper surface 44A of the elastic piece 44, and the floor pad 16 is securely sandwiched between the male flange 24 and the female flange 40. To be done.

With the above-mentioned structure, the floor pad 1

The floor pad 16 can be easily attached to the dash silencer 10 simply by engaging the female member 20 temporarily fixed to the floor silencer 10.

As described above, the workability is good because the male member 18 and the female member 20 are temporarily fixed before the floor pad 16 is attached to the dash silencer 10. Therefore, the number of man-hours required for the mounting work can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced.

Since the elastic piece 44 projects outward by the male member 18, the elastic piece 44 is made flat by setting the upper surface 44A of the elastic piece 44 to be a flat surface.
The area of contact with can be increased.

When a soft material is used for the dash silencer 10 and the floor pad 16, the dimensions of the rectangular holes 10A and the rectangular holes 16A formed in the dash silencer 10 and the floor pad 16, respectively, vary.
The peripheral edge portion of the rectangular hole 16A of the floor pad 16 is sandwiched between the male flange 24 and the female flange 40, and the area in which the elastic piece 44 and the dash silencer 10 are in contact with each other is increased to increase the elastic piece 44 and the female flange 40. By sandwiching the peripheral edge of the rectangular hole 10A between the rectangular holes 10A and 16A
Therefore, the floor pad 16 can be reliably attached to the dash silencer 10 via the male member 18 and the female member 20.

Incidentally, the male member 18 constituting the clip 14
And the female member 20 are temporarily fixed to the floor pad 16 and the dash silencer 10, respectively, and the male member 18 and the female member 2 are
It is only necessary that the floor pad 16 can be attached to the dash silencer 10 via the clip 14 by engaging with 0 and 0, and the shape is not limited to the shape shown in the present embodiment.

Further, in the present embodiment, the pair of peripheral walls 42A of the mounting portion 42 facing each other are notched in a substantially U shape, and the elastic piece 44 is projected in parallel with the female flange 40.
However, the number is not limited to this, as long as it can project 4 to the outside.

For example, a pair of peripheral walls of the mounting portion facing each other are cut out in an inverted U shape, and as shown in FIG. 12, the elastic piece 50 provided on the female member 49 is rotated around the base portion 50A in the arrow direction. It may be allowed to.

Here, the elastic piece 50 is the elastic piece 44 (see FIG. 2).
As in (1), the elastic piece 50 is formed so as to widen from the base portion 50A toward the free end side and protrudes from the inner surface and the outer surface of the peripheral wall 52A of the mounting portion 52. Since the elastic pieces 50 do not project in parallel, the elastic piece 50 can be formed into a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view. Thereby, the male member 56 that abuts the elastic piece 50.
It is not necessary to provide the inclined surface 38 as shown in FIG. 2 at the tip portion of the leg portion 58, and the shape of the tip portion of the leg portion 58 can be simplified.
