JP 2000-265695 A

  The main problem to be solved by the present invention is that the two panels are joined together by a clip comprising a receiving member and a pushing member, and the release of the joining is mainly performed without performing any special operation on the clip. It is to be able to do by moving.

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, the panel joining structure has the following configurations (1) to (4).
(1) A receiving member having an attachment portion and a receiving portion, and having the attachment portion attached to either the first panel or the second panel;
(2) It has an attachment part and an insertion part, and has a pushing member attached to the other of the first panel and the second panel with the attachment part,
(3) The receiving member is elastically engaged with the engaging portion formed in the inserting portion of the pushing member in accordance with insertion of the inserting portion into the receiving portion into the predetermined position or relative insertion, There is a hooking claw that joins the panel and the second panel,
(4) The push-in member is supported so as to be slidable in front of the locking portion, and further includes or relatively inserts the insertion portion from a state in which the engaging claw is engaged with the locking portion. And a slider for elastically deforming the engagement claw side in a direction to come into contact with the engagement claw and release the engagement.

Moreover, in order to achieve the said subject, in this invention, the clip for joining of a panel shall be provided with the structure of the following (1)-(4).
(1) A receiving member that has an attachment portion and a receiving portion, and is attached to either the first panel or the second panel with the attachment portion;
(2) It has an attachment part and an insertion part, and consists of a pushing member attached to the other of the first panel and the second panel with the attachment part,
(3) The receiving member is provided with a latching claw that is elastically engaged with the engaging portion formed in the inserting portion of the pushing member when the inserting portion into the receiving portion is inserted into a predetermined position or relatively inserted. And
(4) The push-in member is supported so as to be slidable in front of the locking portion, and further includes or relatively inserts the insertion portion from a state in which the engaging claw is engaged with the locking portion. And a slider for elastically deforming the engagement claw side in a direction to come into contact with the engagement claw and release the engagement.

  From the state in which the receiving member is attached to one of the first panel and the second panel, and the pushing member is attached to the other of the first panel with the attachment portion, the insertion portion of the pushing member is inserted into the receiving portion of the receiving member at a predetermined position. As a result, the engaging claws of the receiving member are elastically engaged with the engaging portions of the pushing member, and both panels can be joined with one touch through the clip. Moreover, this joining state is one-touch by operating both or one of the first panel and the second panel so that the insertion portion is further inserted into the receiving portion from the predetermined position or relatively inserted. Can be solved. That is, when the insertion portion is further inserted into or relative to the receiving portion from the predetermined position, the slider comes into contact with the engagement claw and the engagement claw is moved to the engagement claw side in a state where the slider has been moved to the rear side. It is possible to get on the slider by elastic deformation and to release the engagement between the locking portion and the engagement claw. From this state, when either or both of the first panel and the second panel are operated so as to extract the insertion portion from the receiving portion next, the slider rides on the engagement claw due to the elasticity of the engagement claw side. It is moved to the front end side of the insertion portion as it is, and the insertion portion can be extracted from the receiving portion without engaging the engaging claw with the locking portion. Thereby, joining of a 1st panel and a 2nd panel can be released.

  Further insertion or relative insertion from a predetermined position of the insertion portion of the push-in member may be prevented by a spacer interposed at a joint portion between the first panel and the second panel. In this case, unless the spacer is removed from the joint between the first panel and the second panel, further insertion or relative insertion from the predetermined position of the insertion portion of the pushing member cannot be performed. In addition, the insertion of the first panel and the second panel can be released by allowing the insertion or relative insertion by removing the spacer.

  If such a spacer is formed as a packing material made of an elastic body, the spacer can seal the joint portion between the first panel and the second panel.

  In addition, if the receiving member is formed with a combination part for detachably combining the packing material, the packing material can be positioned using the receiving member, and the first panel and the second panel can be joined. When unraveling, the receiving member and the packing material can be separated.

  According to the present invention, the first and second panels are joined together by the push-in member constituting the clip that is inserted into the receiving portion of the receiving member constituting the clip and inserted into the receiving portion to a predetermined position. The joint can be released mainly by moving the panel without performing any special operation on the clip, and the release can be easily performed.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  One of the pair of wide side portions 131 and 131 constituting the main body portion 13 includes a pair of vertical dividing grooves 135a and 135a extending from the cylinder one end 133 side toward the cylinder other end 134 side, and the pair of vertical side portions 131 and 131. An elastic piece 136 is formed by a portion divided by a laterally dividing groove 135b extending between the groove ends of the facing dividing grooves 135a and 135a on the cylinder other end 134 side. The elastic piece 136 is bent outwardly with the base on the cylinder one end 133 side as the deformation center, and a hooking claw that forms a rib shape projecting into the main body 13 over the width direction at the tip side. 12 is provided.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the receiving member 1 includes an ear portion 137 that protrudes laterally from the narrow side portion 132 on the tube other end 134 side of the main body portion 13. The portion 137 is formed with a through hole 137a for a shaft-like stopper such as a screw. Then, the shaft-like stopper is fixed to the flange portion P1a through the through hole 137a of the ear portion 137 in a state where the upper surface of the flange portion P1a of the first panel P1 is in contact with the other end 134 of the main body portion 13. The receiving member 1 is attached to the first panel P1. That is, in the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the ear portion 137 functions as the attachment portion 10.

  Further, in the example shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the receiving member 1 includes a flange portion 138 a protruding from the wide side portion 131 to the side on the cylinder end 133 side of the main body portion 13, and a narrow width. The side portion 132 is provided with a hooking projection 138b that is divided by a split groove 138c at a position below the flange portion 138a and projects outward. In this example, the main body portion 13 is inserted from above into the mounting hole P1d formed in the flange portion P1a of the first panel P1 until the hook portion 138a is hooked. The hooking protrusion 138b bent into the hole is repelled at a position passing through the mounting hole P1d, and the first panel P1 is sandwiched between the flange 138a and the receiving member 1 is attached to the first panel P1. It is like that. That is, in the example shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the flange portion 138 a and the engaging protrusion 138 b function as the attachment portion 10.

  On the other hand, the push-in member 2 has an attachment part 20 and an insertion part 21, and the attachment part 20 is attached to the other of the first panel P1 and the second panel P2. In the illustrated example, the pushing member 2 is attached to the second panel P2.

  Further, the pushing member 2 is supported so as to be slidable in front of the locking portion 21a, and the insertion portion 21 is further inserted or relatively inserted from the state in which the hooking claws 12 are hooked on the locking portion 21a. A slider 21b is provided that elastically deforms the engaging claw 12 in such a direction that the engaging claw 12 comes into contact with the engaging claw 12 to release the engagement.

  In the example shown in the figure, the pushing member 2 has a rotating saddle member 22 having a rectangular outer edge contour shape in the middle, and a rectangular tube-like portion 23 positioned on the upper side in the attached state. The insertion portion 21 is provided on the side to be provided.

  The rectangular tube-shaped portion 23 is provided with a hooking protrusion 23b that is divided by a dividing groove 23a and protrudes outward. In the illustrated example, the rectangular tube-shaped portion 23 is inserted from below into the mounting hole P2e formed in the second panel P2 to the position where the orbiting rod portion 22 is hooked. The hooking protrusion 23b bent into the hole is repelled at a position passing through the mounting hole P2e, and the second panel P2 is sandwiched between the surrounding flange 22 and the pushing member 2 is attached to the second panel P2. It is designed to be attached. In other words, in this example, the rotating saddle member 22 and the hooking protrusion are configured to function as the attachment part 20.

  The inserting portion 21 of the pushing member 2 is configured by combining a slider 21b with a plate-like main body 21d. The thickness of the plate-shaped main body 21d is substantially equal to the dimension between the inner surfaces of the pair of wide side portions 131, 131 of the main body portion 13 constituting the receiving member 1. Further, the plate-shaped main body 21d is provided with a rectangular window hole 21f having a through hole shape formed so as to have a window edge 21g parallel to the lower side 21e and a window edge 21h orthogonal to the window edge 21g. It has been.

  In the illustrated example, the slider 21b is accommodated in the window hole 21f, and the sliding movement (forward movement) in the direction along the insertion direction x of the insertion portion 21 of the pushing member 2 into the receiving portion 11 of the receiving member 1 is performed. And backward movement) are supported. The slider 21b has substantially the same thickness as the plate-shaped main body 21d, is narrower than the window hole 21f in the direction along the insertion direction x, and between both inner side portions of the window hole 21f along this direction. It is comprised so that the elongate plate shape provided with the length over may be made. At both end portions of the slider 21b, recesses 21c are formed in the inner portions of the window hole 21f along the insertion direction x to accommodate the ribs 21i continuing along the insertion direction x. By sliding the slider 21b into the window hole 21f so as to accommodate the rib 21i corresponding to the location 21c while elastically deforming either the insertion portion 21 side or the slider 21b side, the sliding movement is achieved. The insertion portion 21 is provided with a slider 21b. (FIG. 2) In the illustrated example, when the insertion portion 21 of the push-in member 2 is inserted or relatively inserted into the reception portion 11 of the member 1, the hooking claws 12 are placed on the lower side 21e of the insertion portion 21 of the push-in member 2. In contact therewith, the elastic piece 136 is once bent outward. When this insertion is performed to a predetermined position, the engaging claw 12 enters between the window edge 21g parallel to the lower side 21e on the lower side 21e of the insertion part 21 and the slider 21b by elastic return of the elastic piece part 136. ing. (FIG. 3) Thereby, the state which the insertion part 21 of the pushing member 2 does not come out from the receiving part 11 of the receiving member 1 is created. That is, in the illustrated example, a window edge 21g parallel to the lower side 21e on the lower side 21e side of the insertion portion 21 of the window hole 21f functions as the locking portion 21a.

  In the illustrated example, in the state where the insertion portion 21 of the pushing member 2 is inserted into the receiving portion 11 of the receiving member 1 to a predetermined position, one end of the cylinder of the circumferential collar portion 22 of the pushing member 2 and the main portion 13 of the receiving member 1 is illustrated. 133, and a space S is formed between the lower side 21e of the insertion portion 21 of the push-in member 2 and the inner back portion of the other end 134 of the cylinder 1 where the main portion 13 of the receiving member 1 is blocked. Further, insertion or relative insertion of the insertion portion 21 of the pushing member 2 is allowed from a predetermined position. (Figure 3)

  From the state in which the receiving member 1 is attached to the first panel P1 and the pushing member 2 is attached to the second panel with the attachment portion 10, the insertion portion 21 of the pushing member 2 is moved to the predetermined position on the receiving portion 11 of the receiving member 1. By inserting, the engaging claws 12 of the receiving member 1 can be elastically engaged with the engaging portions 21a of the pushing member 2, and both panels P1 and P2 can be joined via the clip C with one touch. (FIG. 3) Further, in this joining state, either or both of the first panel P1 and the second panel P2 are used so that the insertion portion 21 is further inserted into the receiving portion 11 from the predetermined position or relatively inserted. By operating one, it can be solved with one touch. That is, when the insertion portion 21 is further inserted into or relative to the receiving portion 11 from the predetermined position, the slider 21b comes into contact with the engaging claw 12 and the elastic piece portion is in a state where the slider 21b is completely moved to the rear side. The latching claw 12 can be ridden on the slider 21b while the latching part 21a and the latching claw 12 are engaged with each other. (FIG. 4) From this state, if either or both of the first panel P1 and the second panel P2 are operated so as to extract the insertion portion 21 from the receiving portion 11, the elasticity of the hooking claw 12 side is obtained. Thus, the slider 21b is moved to the distal end side (lower side) of the insertion portion 21 with the hooking claw 12 running on, so that the hooking claw 12 is not engaged with the locking portion 21a and the insertion portion 21 is moved from the receiving portion 11 to the engagement portion 21a. Can be extracted. (FIG. 5) Thereby, joining of the 1st panel P1 and the 2nd panel P2 can be released.

  Further, in this embodiment, further insertion or relative insertion from the predetermined position of the insertion portion 21 of the push-in member 2 is interposed at the joint portion between the first panel P1 and the second panel P2. The spacer 3 is blocked.

  In the illustrated example, the spacer 3 is interposed between the corner P1b of the first panel P1 and the lower surface of the second panel P2, and the first panel P1 and the second panel are interposed via the clip C. The panel P2 is joined.

  Thereby, in this embodiment, unless the spacer 3 is removed from the joint portion between the first panel P1 and the second panel P2, further insertion from the predetermined position of the insertion portion 21 of the pushing member 2 is performed. Alternatively, the insertion of the first panel P1 and the second panel P2 can be released by disabling the relative insertion and allowing the insertion or relative insertion by removing the spacer 3. it can.

  In the illustrated example, the spacer 3 is a packing material 30 made of an elastic body. Thereby, in the example of illustration, the seal | sticker of the joining location of the 1st panel P1 and the 2nd panel P2 can be made with this spacer 3. FIG.

  Further, in the illustrated example, a combination portion 14 is formed on the receiving member 1 so that the packing material 30 is detachably combined. As a result, in the illustrated example, the packing material 30 can be positioned using the receiving member 1, and the receiving member 1 and the packing material 30 are separated when the first panel P1 and the second panel P2 are unbonded. Can be made.

  In the illustrated example, when the packing material 30 is extracted from between the corner P1b of the first panel P1 and the lower surface of the second panel P2, the second panel P2 is lowered by the amount of the packing material 30 due to its own weight. Thus, the insertion portion 21 of the push-in member 2 is further inserted into the receiving member 1 from a predetermined position, and the engagement between the engagement claw 12 and the locking portion 21a is released. (FIGS. 3 to 4) From this state, when the second panel P2 is lifted upward (or when the first panel P1 is moved downward), the insertion portion 21 of the pushing member 2 is removed from the receiving member 1. The two panels P1, P2 are separated. (Fig. 5)

  In the illustrated example, the packing material 30 is configured as an extruded product having rubber or rubber-like elasticity. In the example shown in the figure, the packing material 30 is positioned at the bathroom inner side In at one edge along the length direction of the strip-shaped main body 30a, and the corner P1b of the first panel P1 and the second panel P2. And a groove 30c for combination on the other edge along the length direction of the main body 30a.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the combination portion 14 of the receiving member 1 is a protruding piece that protrudes from the wide side portion 131 toward the bathroom inside In on the tube other end 134 side of the main body portion 13 of the receiving member 1. 14a and a claw portion 14b protruding upward from the protruding end of the protruding piece portion 14a. The packing material 30 is inserted into the groove portion 30c so that the claw portion 14b is inserted into the receiving member 1. It is combined.

  Further, in the example shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the combination portion 14 of the receiving member 1 is formed on the flange portion 138 a facing the bathroom inner side In formed on the cylinder end 133 side of the main body portion 13 of the receiving member 1. The claw portion 14c protruding upward is formed, and the packing material 30 is combined with the receiving member 1 by inserting the claw portion 14c into the groove portion 30c.

  The above-described provision of the characteristic to the portion having the elastic deformation characteristic in the clip C can be easily ensured by using the receiving member 1 and the pushing member 2 as plastic injection-molded products.
