2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. Sho 55-173713.
As disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication, when a garnish as an attachment member, which is an automobile body interior material, is attached to a center pillar or the like of a body frame as an attached member, a clip protruding from a back surface of the garnish is used. In some cases, the main body is immersed in a mounting hole provided in a pillar. Some garnishes are attached to the center frame by elastically engaging elastic leg pieces provided on the clip with the periphery of the attachment hole. With the above structure, even when the position of the clip is displaced with respect to the mounting hole due to an assembling error or thermal deformation of the garnish after mounting, the displacement can be absorbed by the elastic leg pieces.

Further, a screw hole is provided in a body portion of the clip which is immersed in the pillar, and a hole is also provided in a side wall portion provided in the pillar so as to extend to a side surface of the body. It is conceivable that a screw is inserted from the outside of the clip through the hole, and the screw is screwed into the screw fixing hole of the clip to fix the clip. According to this fixing method, the clip is fixed to the pillar by tightening the screw, so that the mounting state is stabilized. However, if the side surface of the clip and the wall surface of the side wall portion of the pillar are in close contact with each other, the frictional resistance between the two is large, so that the clip cannot escape the thermal deformation described above.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the main object of the present invention is to provide an improved member capable of stabilizing the mounting state without being affected by thermal deformation of the mounting member. It is to provide a mounting clip.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided a member attaching clip for attaching an attaching member to a member to be attached, wherein the clip is provided on the attaching member so as to protrude from the member. A body that can be immersed in a mounting hole provided in the mounting member, and the body that is immersed in the mounting hole is screwed to a side wall provided in the mounted member so as to extend along a side surface thereof. A screw hole provided in the main body, and provided in the main body so as to engage with a peripheral edge of the mounting hole with an elastic force in an axial direction of the screw hole when immersed in the mounting hole. The present invention is attained by providing a clip for attaching members, which has a resilient leg piece and a projection protruding from the side surface of the main body.

[0006]

In this way, the mounting state of the clip can be stabilized by screwing the clip to the frame, and at the same time, the projection provided on the side surface of the clip body makes the projection impact on the head of the screw, for example. After hitting, the screw can no longer be tightened, leaving a gap between both the side of the clip body and the opposing surface of the side wall of the frame. The clip can be easily displaced because there is no large frictional resistance between the frame and the frame due to the tightening of the screw.

A rail member 8 having a C-shaped cross section is fixed at an appropriate position on the back surface of the garnish 1 so as to extend in the left-right direction. The rail member 8 is slid on the T-shaped portion 4a of the clip 4 as shown by an arrow A in FIG. In addition, the T-shaped portion 4 a is in close contact with the inner surface of the rail member 8 by slightly expanding the cross-sectional shape of the head portion of the T-shaped portion 4 a from the inner width of the rail member 8. Further, at the base end of the main body 7, elastic holding pieces 4e and 4f are provided so as to face both the enlarged portions of the T-shaped portion 4a. With the T-shaped portion 4a attached to the rail member 8, the projections at the free ends of the elastic holding pieces 4e and 4f elastically engage with the recessed locking holes provided in the rail member 8. The T-shaped portion 4a is fixed to the rail member 8 together with the adhesion of the T-shaped portion 4a to the inner surface of the rail member 8, and the clip 4 is integrated with the garnish 1 in a protruding state. You.

On the left and right sides of the main body 7 when the garnish 1 is mounted, left and right elastic leg pieces 4 extending from the respective central portions toward the base end side and diagonally side are formed as a pair.
The lower elastic leg 4d is formed on the lower surface of the main body 7 so as to extend diagonally downward from the front end in the mounting hole 3 toward the base end side and diagonally downward. At the free ends of the elastic leg pieces 4b to 4d, notch-shaped engaging portions are provided, and when the clip 4 is attached to the mounting hole 3, the engaging of the left and right elastic leg pieces 4b and 4c is performed. The portions elastically engage with the corresponding left and right edges of the peripheral edge of the mounting hole 3, and the engaging portions of the lower elastic leg pieces 4 d elastically engage with the lower edge of the mounting hole 3. , Clip 4 is attached.

The main body 7 is provided with screw holes 9 for screwing the tapping screws 6 therethrough so as to open on both side surfaces 7a and 7b of the main body 7. The axial direction of the hole 9 corresponds to the left and right elastic leg pieces 4 described above.
The direction is along the elastic engagement direction of b.4c. A pair of projections 10 are formed on the side surface 7a of the frame 2 facing the inner surface of the side wall 2a of the frame 2 when the garnish 1 is attached, at diagonal positions at the periphery of the screw hole 9.

When the garnish 1 is attached to the frame 2 using the clip 4 configured as described above, as described above, the clip 4 integrated with the garnish 1 is indicated by an arrow B in FIG. Then, the clip 4 is mounted by resiliently engaging the elastic leg pieces 4b to 4d with the peripheral edge of the mounting hole 3. Since the clip 4 is pushed upward by the elastic force of the lower elastic leg piece 4d, the clip 4 is suitably positioned.
