Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) This invention relates to a clip for door molding.

(Prior Art) An example of this type of clip is shown in FIG. The clip C ′ has a flange locking piece 40 and a holding piece 41 as a molding mounting means, and has a decorative edge 42 of the molding M,
Alternatively, it can be mounted on the molding M by engaging with the insertion edge 43. After the clip C 'is attached to the door panel 44, the clip C' is inserted into the gap between the door glass G from the lower end thereof and further inserted into the insertion hole 45 opened in the door panel 44. During this time, the retaining piece 46 slides along the inner wall surface of the door panel, and elastically engages with the step edge 47 of the door panel 44 with the completion of the insertion of the clip C '. In this way, the entire clip C 'is prevented from coming off, and the mounting operation of the molding M is completed.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) By the way, after attaching the molding M to the door panel 44,
It may be necessary to remove the mall M. In this case, first, while turning up both seal pieces 49 of the molding M, an appropriate tool is inserted, and the holding pieces 41 are forcibly expanded to form the molding M.
Is disengaged from the insertion edge 43. at the same time,
By engaging another tool from the tip of the decorative edge 42 of the molding M and lifting or twisting the tool as it is, the engagement of the flange locking piece 40 is forcibly released.

In this manner, the molding M is cut off from the clip C '. During this operation, the molding M is easily deformed, especially on the decorative edge 42 side. Therefore, it is often impossible to reuse the mall M that can be removed. In the above-described removal method, since the clip C 'remains on the door panel 44 side even after the molding M is removed, the clip C' must be removed separately. However, in order to remove the clip C ', the engagement of the retaining piece 46 must be released. However, the position where the retaining piece 46 is engaged is a place where it is difficult to insert a tool. The clip C 'is pulled out, that is, by breaking (breaking) the retaining piece.
Has been removed. At this time, the broken retaining piece 46 may fall into the door panel and cause abnormal noise when the door is opened and closed.

As described below, in the case of using the conventional clip, the replacement work of the molding M is not easy, and the work is time-consuming.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a clip for a door molding that can easily perform a molding replacement operation.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The configuration of the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned object includes a flexible sealing piece that allows insertion of a tool, and is provided above a gap between a door panel and a door glass. A door molding clip for fixing a door molding to be attached to a door panel, wherein the substrate has a mounting means for mounting the door molding, and the entire clip is disengaged by a distal end of the substrate being elastically engaged with the door panel side. A retaining piece for retaining in a possible state is formed upright so as to be able to bend and deform, and an operating piece for deforming the retaining piece in the release direction penetrates the substrate from the retaining piece. It extends to a position below the piece and operable by the tool.

(Operation) To remove the molding, first turn the sealing piece of the molding, insert an appropriate tool from here, and operate the operating piece, the retaining piece is flexed and deformed and the engagement with the door panel side is released. . This makes it possible to remove the molding and the clip at the same time without breaking the clip.

(Embodiment) Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an attached state of the molding M, and FIG.
Is an outer door panel (hereinafter, simply referred to as a door panel) which constitutes a door together with an inner door panel (not shown), and a door glass G is arranged between the inner door panel and the inner door panel so as to be able to move up and down. The door panel 1 shown in the figure is composed of two inner and outer panels 1a and 1b, and is of a type in which the outer upper edge is hemmed and bonded by welding or the like. A clip insertion hole 2 is opened at an appropriate interval at an upper portion of the inner panel 1b, and a retaining piece 4 to be described later is engaged with a height position corresponding to the clip insertion hole 2 on the outer panel 1a. The step edge 3 is formed stepwise.

The molding M is mainly composed of the cored bar 5, and a portion that covers the upper surface of the door panel 1 (decorative edge 6) and a portion that is inserted into a gap between the door panel 1 and the door glass G (insertion edge 7).
And more. Then, a soft resin coating is applied from a part of the decorative edge portion 6 to the lower end of the insertion edge portion 7, and from the insertion edge portion 7, a sealing piece 8 which is in close contact with the door glass G projects upward and downward in two steps. . The two seal pieces 8 have good flexibility so that the tool T can be inserted by flipping up or the like. Further, the lower end of the insertion edge portion 7 is slightly bulged due to the hemming of the cored bar 5, and as a result, the claw edge 10 of the clip C described later as the bulged portion 9 is engaged. Can be combined. Further, a relief recess 27 for avoiding interference with an operation piece 25 of a clip C described later is provided at a lower end of the insertion edge portion 7.
Are provided at each of the locations where the clips C are to be mounted, each of which is cut out to have a predetermined width and a height slightly higher than the bulging portion 9. On the other hand, the front end side of the decorative rim 6 of the molding M is bent inward to form a flange rim 11, which is covered with the same soft resin as the insertion rim 7 so as to be in close contact with the upper surface of the door panel 1. 12 are formed.

Next, the configuration of the clip C will be described. The clip C is integrally formed of a synthetic resin material, and the clip insertion hole 2 is formed.
It has a substrate 13 that can be inserted into the substrate. As shown in FIG. 1, the substrate 13 can contact the inner surface of the outer panel 1a and the outer surface of the inner panel 1b of the door panel 1 above and below the clip insertion hole 2, respectively. Further, a rectangular window 14 is opened at the center of the substrate 13. The board 13 is provided with means for mounting the mall M as described below.

On the surface of the substrate 13 facing the door glass G,
A pair of holding pieces 15 that can be expanded and deformed are arranged on the left and right sides of the window portion 14 so that the insertion edge 7 of the molding M can be held between the holding piece 15 and the substrate 13. A claw edge 10 that elastically engages with the bulging portion 9 is formed at the tip end of 15. Further, an overhanging edge 16 is formed so as to protrude over the entire width of the upper edge of the surface of the substrate 13 facing the door glass G,
It is designed to hit the inner surface of the insertion edge 7. Further, a pair of projecting edges 17 are formed on both sides of the window portion 14 so as to protrude vertically in a range from the overhanging edge 16 to the bottom surface in the holding piece 15. However, the protruding height of both protruding edges 17 is the overhanging edge.
Although it is set lower than 16, the insertion edge 7 of the mall M
So that it hits the inner surface at the bottom. The reason why the above-mentioned overhanging edge 16 and both protruding edges 17 are provided is that the clip C
The thickness of the substrate 13 is reduced for the purpose of reducing the material constituting the material M, and the play of the molding M in this case can be suppressed.
It is designed to be pressed from behind the mall M.

On the other hand, a pair of flange locking pieces 18 for engaging with the mounting edge 6 side of the molding M are provided on both left and right sides of the upper edge of the substrate 13.
Are formed in the opposite direction to the door glass G. The two flange locking pieces 18 are allowed to bend downwardly, and each end has a locking claw that engages with the flange edge 11.
19 are formed.

Next, the means for fixing the clip C to the door panel 1 will be described. A holding piece 20 having a flexurally deformable functionality extends downward from between the two flange locking pieces 18 on the substrate 13 independently. It has an expandable U-shaped cross-sectional groove 21 for holding the upper edge portion of the door panel 1 between the substrate 13 and the base plate 13. In order to facilitate insertion of the holding piece 20 into the door panel 1, the lower portion is slightly curved and the entrance side of the insertion groove 21 is widened. In order to reinforce the upward warpage, a rib 22 is formed in a longitudinal direction at a central portion on the surface side of the holding piece 29. On the other hand, a tapered guide tongue piece 23 is formed continuously below the substrate 13. The guide tongue piece 23 is formed in a slightly upwardly warped shape on the side opposite to the door glass G, and has a smooth curved back surface. The guide tongue 23 plays a role of guiding the clip C into the insertion hole 2 by slidingly contacting the edge of the hole when the guide tongue 23 is inserted into the clip insertion hole 2.

A retaining piece 4 is formed upright from the lower opening edge of the window portion 14 to restrict the clip C from coming off upward. The retaining piece 4 is formed so as to protrude obliquely upward on the side opposite to the door glass G, and is allowed to bend in the upright direction. Further, on both left and right sides of the tip of the retaining piece 4, retaining claws 24 which can be engaged with the step edge 3 of the door panel 1 are formed. Further, an operation piece 25 for operating the bending deformation in the direction of releasing the engagement of the retaining claws 24 (standing direction) protrudes from between the both retaining claws 24. The operation piece 25 extends to the door glass G side through the window portion 14 and the escape recess 27 of the molding M, and the tip is located outside the holding piece 15 as shown in FIG. With both seal pieces 8 turned up, operation piece 25 from above
Can be operated. A bent portion 25a is formed upward at the tip of the operation piece 25, so that the tool T is hardly disengaged from being caught. For the convenience of forming the bent portion 25a, the retaining piece 4 has a hole 4a.

In this example, the operating piece 25 is extended from between the two retaining claws 24 so that the retaining claw 24 can be bent with a small operating force. It is sufficient that the stop piece 24 can be bent and deformed so that the engagement state can be released, and the overhang position or the overhang length can be appropriately changed within the range.

The operation and effect of the clip of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described. When the clip C is mounted on the molding M, the insertion edge 7 of the molding M is inserted into both holding pieces 15,
The claw edge 10 and the bulging portion 9 are engaged. By this insertion,
The two flange locking pieces 18 are pressed and bent by the decorative edge 6 of the molding M, and these locking claws 19 are engaged with the flange edge 11, respectively. Thus, the clip C is mounted on the molding M.

Subsequently, mounting to the door panel 1 is performed in the above-described pre-attached state. First, the guide tongue piece 23 of the clip C is positioned between the door panel 1 and the door glass G, and is pushed downward as it is. In this case, the clip C is a guide tongue.
The tip end of the guide tongue piece 23 is pressed straight down while the tip end of the guide panel 23 is in contact with the wall surface above the clip insertion hole 2 in the door panel 1, and the lower surface of the guide hole 23 contacts the lower opening edge of the clip insertion hole 2 when pressed down. When the clip C is further pushed down, the clip C is automatically guided to the inside of the clip insertion hole 2 under the guidance of the curved surface on the back surface of the guide tongue piece 23. Therefore, the work of inserting into the insertion hole 2 which cannot be seen directly by the operator becomes easy. On the other hand, the upper edge of the door panel 1 enters while expanding the insertion groove 21, and is pinched by the pinching piece 20 and the base 13. During this time, the retaining piece 4 comes into sliding contact with the wall surface of the door panel 1 while flexing and deforming, and the retaining claw 24 and the step edge 3 engage when the insertion of the clip C is completed. Thus, the clip C is assembled in a retaining state, and the molding M
Is fixed to the door panel 1.

Conversely, when removing the molding M, an appropriate tool T is inserted through a gap between the molding glass M and the door glass G by turning over both seal pieces 8 of the molding M, or the like. In this case, the sealing piece 8
Has good flexibility, so that insertion of the tool T is easy. Next, the bending portion 25 of the operation piece 25 is
When the a side is pushed down, the retaining piece 4 is forcibly raised and deformed, and the retaining claw 24 comes off the step edge 3. Thus, the engagement of the clip C with the door panel 1 is released, so that when the molding M is lifted in this state, the molding M can be removed together with the clip C. Next, the clip C is removed from the molding M. In this case, the engagement between the flange locking piece 18 and the flange edge 11 and the engagement between the holding pieces 15 and the bulging portion 9 are both released. In any case, since these operations are performed after being removed from the door panel 1, these operations are easy.

As described above, in the present example, the engagement of the clip C can be released and the molding M can be removed by simply pressing down the operation piece 25, and the clip C can be removed from the molding M as described above. As such, the mall M can be easily and quickly replaced. Further, since the molding M is detached from the door panel 1 without applying an excessive force, the molding M is not deformed. Therefore, it can be reused, which is also advantageous from an economical point of view. Furthermore, clip C
Can be removed without destroying the door, so that the damaged part does not cause the above-mentioned door noise.

(Effects of the invention) The effects of the invention are as follows.

Since the clip can be disengaged from the door panel and the molding can be removed simply by bending the operation piece,
The replacement work of the mall can be performed more easily than before. Also, since the removal does not involve deformation of the mall,
Reuse becomes possible. Furthermore, since the clip is not destroyed at the time of removal, no abnormal noise is generated, and the clip itself can be reused.
