Description

  The present invention relates to a linear body clip.

  Conventionally, in order to attach a linear body (specifically, a corrugated tube or a wire harness) to an attachment target (specifically, a panel or the like), the linear body is held and fixed to the attachment target. A linear clip that can be used is used. For example, the corrugated clamp described in the cited document 1 and the corrugated clamp described in the cited document 2 are known as equivalent to this type of linear body clip.

  The corrugated clamp described in the cited document 1 includes a holding member for holding the corrugated pipe and a locking portion configured to be attached to the vehicle body panel. The locking portion is coupled to the holding member and can be inserted and locked into a through hole provided in the vehicle body panel in order to attach the corrugated clamp to the vehicle body panel.

  In detail, the said latching | locking part is comprised using the axial part which protrudes from the said holding | maintenance material, and the latching blade | wing which protrudes on both sides from the front-end | tip of this axial part. Then, after the locking portion is inserted into the through hole, the locking blade is engaged with the edge of the through hole in a state where the locking blade is positioned on the opposite side of the holding material with the body panel interposed therebetween. It can be stopped.

  However, according to the corrugated clamp described in the cited document 1, since the locking blade is configured to fit the protruding end portion into the through hole when locked with the edge of the through hole, It was difficult to release the engagement with the edge of the through hole. In particular, when it is necessary to release the vehicle body panel from the side opposite to the holding member, the operation is very difficult.

  Further, the corrugated clamp described in the cited document 2 includes a base portion and a lid portion for holding the corrugated tube, and a bracket portion configured to be detachably attached to the vehicle body panel. The bracket portion protrudes from the base portion, and an engaging piece protruding from the vehicle body panel can be inserted and locked in order to attach the corrugated clamp to the vehicle body panel.

  However, according to the corrugated clamp described in the cited document 2, the corrugated clamp has a relatively complicated structure, so that when the corrugated clamp is attached to the vehicle body panel, the bracket can be inserted and locked to the bracket portion. Since the locking piece had to be prepared separately and further fixed to a predetermined position of the vehicle body panel, the corrugated clamp mounting work was troublesome.
