It is made smaller. Specifically, the clip 26 is preferably formed of a soft resin material. Examples of the resin material forming the clip 26 include engineering plastics such as polyacetal (POM).

  Next, the operation and effect of the clip 26 of this embodiment will be described.

In the clip 26, when the attachment portion 22B of the plated component 22 is inserted between the pair of plate-like portions 28, 30 from the end 28B, 30B side, the protrusions provided on the opposing surfaces 28C, 30C of the plate-like portions 28, 30 respectively 40 and 42 are inserted into and engaged with the through holes 23 of the mounting portion 22B. Thereby, the clip 26 is attached to the plated part 22.
Next, the end portions 28 </ b> A and 30 </ b> A of the pair of plate-like portions 28 and 30 of the clip 26 are inserted into the mounting holes 25 of the front bumper 24. When the hooks 44 and 46 respectively provided on the outer surfaces 28D and 30D of the pair of plate-like parts 28 and 30 pass through the mounting hole 25, the hooks 44 and 46 engage with the edge of the mounting hole 25. . Thus, the clip 26 is attached to the front bumper 24. Thus, the plated component 22 and the front bumper 24 are attached via the clip 26.

  When the clip 26 is removed from the attachment portion 22B of the plated component 22 after the clip 26 is pulled out from the attachment hole 25 of the front bumper 24, first, the end portions 28E and 30E of the pair of plate-like portions 28 and 30 are connected. The ends 28F and 30F of the pair of plate-like portions 28 and 30 are separated from each other with the connecting portion 48 as a fulcrum, and the pair of plate-like portions is opened (see FIG. 11). By opening the pair of plate-like portions 28 and 30 in this manner, the protrusions 40 and 42 come out of the through hole 23 of the attachment portion 22B (disengagement), and the clip 26 can be detached from the attachment portion 22B.

  As described above, in the clip 26, for example, the end portions 28 </ b> B and 30 </ b> B of the pair of plate-like portions 28 and 30 are separated from each other with the connecting portion connecting the end portions 28 </ b> A and 30 </ b> A of the pair of plate-like portions 28 and 30 as fulcrums. Compared to the configuration in which the pair of plate-like portions 28 are opened, the hand is inserted to the side of the clip 26 even in a situation where it is difficult for the operator's hand to reach the end portions 28B, 30B of the pair of plate-like portions 28, 30. Thus, the pair of plate-like portions 28 and 30 can be opened. That is, the clip 26 can facilitate removal of the plated component 22 from the attachment portion 22B.

  Further, in the clip 26, since a part of the end portions 28E and 30E of the pair of plate portions 28 and 30 is connected, for example, a configuration in which all the pair of plate portions 28 and 30 end portions 28E and 30E are connected The pair of plate-like portions 28 and 30 can be easily opened as compared with the above. Furthermore, by adjusting the size of the width W1, the ease of deformation of the connecting portion 48 changes, so the ease of opening the pair of plate-like portions 28, 30 can be adjusted.

  Furthermore, in the clip 26, since the central portions of the end portions 28E and 30E of the pair of plate-like portions 28 and 30 in the clip insertion direction are connected, for example, the clip insertion direction side of the end portions 28E and 30E or the opposite Compared with the configuration in which the sides are connected, the end portions 28F and 30F of the pair of plate-like portions 28 and 30 can be separated substantially evenly. That is, in the clip 26, since the pair of plate-like portions 28 and 30 can be opened substantially equally, the work of removing the plated component 22 from the attachment portion 22B is further facilitated.

  In the clip 26, since the projections 40 and 42 are provided on the elastic plate portions 34 and 38, respectively, when the attachment portion 22B is inserted between the pair of plate-like portions 28 and 30, the projections abut on the attachment portion 22B. The elastic plate portions 34 and 38 are bent to the opposite sides of the plate-like portions 28 and 30 through the opposing portions 40 and 42. Then, after the projections 40, 42 reach the through holes 23 of the attachment portion 22B, the elastic plate portions 34, 38 return to the original state by the repulsive force (restoring force), and the projections 40, 42 become the edges of the through holes 23. Engage the part. Here, in the clip 26, since the projections 40 and 42 are formed on the elastic plate portions 34 and 38, the projections 40 and 42 can be formed at the edge of the through hole 23 while reducing the insertion force of the attachment portion 22B to the clip 26. The part can be engaged positively.
