2. Description of the Related Art This type of vehicle part mounting clip is formed by bending a necessary portion of a single iron plate obtained by press working. FIGS. 3 and 4 show an example of a conventional vehicle part mounting clip. In these figures, 1 is a clip mounting rib, which is erected perpendicularly to the surface of a vehicle part, such as a cover, instrument or lower. The insertion guide 1 is provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the clip mounting rib 1.
a is projected.

Reference numeral 20 is a clip for mounting vehicle parts, and 2
It is composed of an iron plate base portion 1 and a rectangular iron plate 22 for forming a claw portion,
The iron plate base portion 21 has both wing portions bent inward to form a sandwiching portion 21a, a guide groove 21b extending in the longitudinal direction at the center of the upper surface, and cut and raised claws for fixing on both sides of the guide groove 21b. 21c protrudes inward. The rectangular iron plate 22 for forming the claw portion is bent into an acute angle from the middle thereof, and the bent piece on the tip side of the bent portion 22a is further bent in a V shape.
The wide claw portion 22b is formed. In addition, a rectangular narrow iron plate portion 22c is cut and raised on the iron plate base portion side in the rectangular iron plate portion closer to the base end side than the bent portion 22a, and is bent into a dogleg shape like the wide width nail portion 22b. 22c is formed. Further, the tips of the claw portions 22b and 22c are slightly bent outward.

This conventional clip 20 for mounting vehicle parts
As shown in FIG. 4, the center line CL of the opening 5a of the mating frame 5 on the mating side and the center line CL of the clip mounting rib 1 coincide with each other, and the wide claw portion 22b and the center line CL are When the angle formed is α and the angle formed by the narrow claw portion 22c and the center line is θ, θ = α.

[0005]

As described above, when the clip 20 for attaching a vehicle component made of an iron plate, which is fixed to the rib 1 provided upright on the vehicle component side, is inserted into the attachment frame opening 5a and attached, When the wide claw portions 22b and the narrow claw portions 22c are formed symmetrically in the drawing from the rectangular iron plate 22, one claw piece has a wide width and the other claw piece has a narrow width due to its structure. However, since the wide claw pieces and the narrow claw pieces have different elastic forces, when the clip 20 is inserted into the mounting frame opening 5a on the mating side, the vehicle part to which the clip 20 is fixed is inevitable. The center of the standing rib 1 on the side is pulled toward the side of the narrow claw piece, which may cause the mounting position of the vehicle component to be displaced.

The present invention was developed in consideration of these points, and when the clip for mounting a vehicle component is inserted into the opening of the frame to be mounted on the other side, the center of the standing rib on the vehicle component side is the above-mentioned. The structure is located on the center line of the opening to prevent displacement of the mounting position of the vehicle parts.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an iron plate base fixed to a rib standing upright from a mounting member, a wide claw portion which is inserted into and fixed to an opening of a member to be mounted. A narrow claw portion is provided, and the wide claw portion is formed by bending a rectangular iron plate for forming a claw portion, which is integrally formed following the iron plate base, into an acute angle from the middle, The bent piece is further bent into a V shape, and the narrow claw portion cuts and raises a rectangular iron plate closer to the base end side than the bent portion into a rectangular shape, and further, in the same manner as the wide claw portion. In a clip for mounting a vehicle part formed by bending a bent piece on the tip side into a V shape, a center line of an opening of a mating member to be mounted and a center line of a rib erected from the mounting member. And the bending angle α formed by the center line of the rib and the wide-width claw portion in the rib To become set smaller than the forming cut-and-raised angle θ between the line and the Hosohaba claw portion is a main structure.

[0008]

[Function] Although the wide claw portion originally has a large elasticity,
Since the bending angle α is set to a small value, the elastic force is reduced, and although the narrow claw portion on one side originally has a small elastic force, the cut-and-raised angle θ is set to be larger than the bending angle α. Therefore, the elastic force of both claws can be made equal by properly selecting the values of both angles α and θ, and the accurate attachment of the mounting member to the mating member can be achieved without shifting the center line. Allows installation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A typical embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 and 2 show an example of a clip for mounting a vehicle part according to the present invention.

In these figures, reference numeral 1 denotes a clip mounting rib, which is no different from the conventional one, and is erected at a right angle on the surface of various vehicle parts such as a lid, a panel instrument, and a lower. Further, 1a is an insertion guide.

The vehicle part mounting clip 2 is composed of a single iron plate having an iron plate base portion 3 and a rectangular iron plate 4 for forming a claw portion as in the conventional case, and the iron plate base portion 3 has both wing portions bent inward. The holding portion 3a is formed, and a guide groove 3b extending in the longitudinal direction is formed at the center of the upper and lower surfaces of the holding portion 3a, and rib fixing claws 3c are projected inwardly on both sides of the guide groove 3b.

The rectangular iron plate 4 for forming the claw portion is the iron plate base 3
It is extended from, and is bent into two in an acute angle in the approximate center,
The bent piece on the tip side of the bent portion 4a is further bent in a V shape to form a wide claw portion 4b. Further, in the rectangular iron plate portion 4 closer to the base end side than the bent portion 4a, a rectangular narrow iron plate is cut and raised on the iron plate base portion side and bent in a dogleg shape like the wide width nail portion 4b. The portion 4c is formed. The tips of the claws 4b and 4c are slightly bent outward.

Moreover, in the present invention, in the clip 2 for mounting the vehicle parts, as shown in FIG.
Align the center line CL of the opening 5a with the center line CL of the clip mounting rib 1, and simultaneously widen the claw portion 4b and the center line CL.
When the angle formed by and, that is, the bending angle is α, and the angle formed by the narrow claw portion 4c and the same center line CL, that is, the cut-and-raised angle is θ, θ> α is set. .

With such a structure, when the bending angle α of the wide claw portion 4b and the cut-and-raised angle θ are made equal to each other, the wide claw portion 4b originally has a larger elastic force than the narrow claw portion 4c. Regardless, if the bending angle α of the wide claw portion 4b is set smaller than the cut-and-raised angle θ as in the present invention, the resilience is reduced by the smaller bending angle α and one narrow claw is used. The elastic force of the portion 4c increases by an amount such that the angle θ is larger than the bending angle α, and therefore the elastic force of the portions 4c is increased. Therefore, by appropriately selecting the values of both the angles α and θ, both the claw portions 4b and 4c can be obtained. It is possible to equalize the elastic force of the vehicle parts, and it is possible to accurately mount the vehicle parts to the mating member without shifting the center line.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The elastic force between the wide claw part and the narrow claw part of the clip for mounting vehicle parts is substantially imbalanced by making an appropriate difference in the rising angle of the clip mounting rib and the center line of the clip mounting rib, though it is originally imbalanced. The difference in resilience is eliminated, so that the vehicle parts can be set in the correct position without the center line shifting, and the resilience when the clip for attaching the vehicle parts is attached to or detached from the mating frame opening Since the wide-width claw portion and the narrow-width claw portion are the same, it is possible to avoid complexity in mounting the mounting member.
