[ISOFIX clip 10]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an ISOFIX clip according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a plan view of the ISOFIX clip of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the ISOFIX clip of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a left side view of the ISOFIX clip of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a front view of the ISOFIX clip of the present invention. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. As shown in the figure, the ISOFIX clip 10 of the present invention includes a clip body 12 provided with a pair of gripping pieces (22, 24) for gripping the ISOFIX bar 1 having an axial center disposed in the horizontal direction from above and below. The grip pieces (22, 24) are arranged side by side along the axis of the ISOFIX bar 1, and the ISOFIX is formed between the pair of grip pieces (22, 24) from the direction intersecting the horizontal direction. A gap 26 for inserting the bar 1 is provided, the ISOFIX bar 1 is inserted into the gap 26, and the clip body 12 is rotated and held by the pair of holding pieces (22, 24).

  More specifically, it includes a clip body 12 provided with a gripping portion 20 for gripping the ISOFIX bar 1 having an axial center disposed in the horizontal direction from above and below, and the gripping portion 20 has a hook tip at the end surface of the clip body 12. From the first gripping piece 22 extending downward along the axis of the ISOFIX bar 1 and the second end of the hook extending upward from the end surface of the clip body 12 along the axis of the ISOFIX bar 1. The first and second gripping pieces 22, 24 are arranged side by side along the axis of the ISOFIX bar 1, and between the first and second gripping pieces 22, 24. A gap 26 for inserting the ISOFIX bar 1 from a direction orthogonal to the horizontal direction is provided, and the ISOFIX bar 1 is inserted into the gap 26 to rotate the clip body 12 by 90 degrees. They are gripped by the first and second gripping piece 22 by.

  The clip body 12 is formed in a flat plate size approximately the size of a thumb that can be sandwiched and supported between the thumb and index finger. The clip body 12 desirably has excellent mechanical strength, and polyacetal (POM) can be applied as an example of the material.

The grip 20 is a portion that is provided at one end of the clip main body 12 and fixed with the ISOFIX bar 1 interposed therebetween. The grip portion 20 of the present invention includes a pair of grip pieces 22 and 24.
The first gripping piece 22 is an end surface of the clip body 12 and protrudes along the longitudinal direction from one main surface (upper surface in a plan view shown in FIG. 2) side of the clip body 12 and around the axis of the ISOFIX bar. It extends while curving downward along. When the first gripping piece 22 grips the ISOFIX bar 1 in a front view shown in FIG. 5, the bar is hidden at the tip of the hook. In other words, the ISOFIX bar at the time of attachment is in contact with the end surface of the clip body 12 on the back surface, contacts the inner periphery of the first gripping portion 22 from the top surface to the front surface, and the front surface is the hook tip of the first gripping portion 22. It is in contact with the inside. And the lower surface is free (opening).

  The second gripping piece 24 is an end surface of the clip main body 12 and protrudes along the longitudinal direction from the other main surface of the clip main body 12 (the lower surface in the plan view shown in FIG. 2), and around the axis of the ISOFIX bar. It extends while curving upward along. When the ISOFIX bar 1 is gripped in the front view of the second gripping piece 24 shown in FIG. 5, the bar is hidden at the tip of the hook. In other words, the ISOFIX bar at the time of attachment is in contact with the end surface of the clip body 12 on the back surface, contacts the inner periphery of the second gripping piece 24 from the bottom surface to the front surface, and the front surface is the hook tip of the second gripping piece 24. It is in contact with the inside. And the upper surface is free (opening).

The first and second grip pieces 22 and 24 are provided with a gap 26 in which the ISOFIX bar 1 can be inserted. The gap 26 is provided along a direction intersecting the axis (orthogonal direction, in other words, a vertical direction) when the axis of the ISOFIX bar is arranged in the horizontal direction. At this time, the first and second gripping pieces 22 and 24 form a gap slightly smaller than the diameter of the ISOFIX bar 1. With such a configuration, when the ISOFIX clip 10 is attached to or detached from the ISOFIX bar 1, the attachment or detachment can be confirmed by touch or hearing by the vibration or sound of the first and second gripping pieces 22 and 24 without visual observation. .
Further, the first and second grip pieces 22 and 24 are turned back to the hook tip to form 23 and 25, respectively. The return bars 23 and 25 can fix the ISOFIX bar 1 inside the hook tip with a slight thickness (bulge) at the hook tip. With such a configuration, when the ISOFIX clip 10 is attached to or detached from the ISOFIX bar 1, the attachment or detachment can be confirmed by touch or hearing by the vibration or sound of the pair of gripping pieces 22 and 24 without being visually observed. In addition, when attached to the ISOFIX bar 1, the ISOFIX clip 10 can be positioned, in other words, fixed.

  The grip portion 20 is formed in a generally rounded curved surface, spherical shape, in other words, a shape having no protrusions, and a substantially circular shape in a side view, as a whole. With such a configuration, when being inserted into the ISOFIX bar provided between the pedestal and the back surface portion of the vehicle seat, it can be attached and detached without being caught on the vehicle seat. For this reason, there is no possibility of damage such as scratching the vehicle seat.

  The clip body 12 has a connection portion 30, and the connection portion 30 shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 is a buckle 32 of the belt 31. FIG. 7 is an explanatory view in which ISOFIX clips 10 are attached to both ends of the belt. The buckle 32 has a configuration in which two large and small cutouts for inserting the belt 31 are provided. The buckle 32 forms a cut 27 extending in an oblique direction with respect to the axial center of the clip body 12 that contacts the belt 31 to be inserted. Since the cuts 27 are formed in a direction intersecting with the weaving direction of the belt 31, the cuts 27 function as a slip stopper for the belt 31.

  The clip body 12 is provided with a marker 40 (mark) on one of the main surfaces (upper surface in a plan view shown in FIG. 2). The marker is provided on the other end of the clip body 12 (the end opposite to the gripping portion 20). The marker of this embodiment is a lattice-like protrusion as an example. With such a configuration, the rotation direction of the clip body 12 can be easily confirmed by touch without using the marker 40 as a mark or base point.

[Action]
The operation of the ISOFIX clip of the present invention having the above configuration will be described below. FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of a method for attaching the ISOFIX clip.
As shown in FIG. 8 (1), the axis of the ISOFIX bar 1 is arranged on the vehicle seat so as to be in the horizontal direction. The clip body 12 is tilted 90 degrees (both main surfaces of the clip body 12 are arranged in the vertical direction), the gap 26 of the grip 20 of the ISOFIX clip 10 is extended along the horizontal direction, and the ISOFIX bar 1 is inserted. To do. At this time, the gap 26 is formed to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the ISOFIX bar 1, so that when the ISOFIX bar 1 is inserted, a clicking sound is heard and vibration of the clip body 12 is also felt. As a result, it can be confirmed that the ISOFIX bar 1 is inserted and fitted in the gap 26.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8 (2), after the ISOFIX bar 1 is inserted to the back of the gap and brought into contact with the end face of the clip body 12, the marker 40 of the clip body 12 is moved as shown in FIG. 8 (3). A certain surface (the upper surface of the plan view shown in FIG. 2) is rotated by 90 degrees. When the ISOFIX bar 1 is inserted into the gripper 20 through the opening below the first gripping piece 22 and the opening on the top surface of the second gripping piece 24, the hook ends of the first and second gripping pieces 22 and 24 are When the clicks 23 and 25 click, a vibration of the clip body 12 is also felt. As a result, it can be confirmed that the ISOFIX bar 1 is inserted into the grip 20 and gripped. Such an ISOFIX clip 10 is attached to each of the two ISOFIX bars 1 provided on the vehicle seat. The belt can be passed through the hook of the shopping bag, the length of the belt using the buckle can be adjusted, and the bag can be fixed on the vehicle seat.
