BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 1 shows an attached state of the molding M. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an outer panel (simply a door panel 1) which forms a door together with an inner panel (not shown).
Door glass G between the inner panel
Are arranged to be able to move up and down.

The door panel 1 is composed of an outer panel 2 and a lean hose 3. In this embodiment, the upper panel is hemmed to hold the upper portion of the outer panel 2 and sandwiched by the lean hose 3. The outer panel 2 and the lean hose 3 may be formed integrally by bending. A rectangular clip mounting hole 4 is opened at an upper portion of the lean hose 3. However, the clip mounting holes 4 are arranged at a plurality of locations along the front-rear direction of the vehicle at appropriate intervals.

The molding M is obtained by coating the surface of a cored bar 5 with a soft resin, and one end of the molding M is bent so as to cover the outer panel 2, and the leading end is a first flange edge f 1. The covering of this portion is formed with a sealing piece 6 that can contact the upper surface of the outer panel 2.
The other end of the molding M is bent so as to face the lean hose 3 in parallel, and the end is a second flange edge f2. In the molding M, an upper seal piece 7 is formed on the upper side and a lower seal piece 8 is formed on the lower side of the covering of the vertical portion reaching the second flange edge f2, and both are rubbed against the glass G.

In this embodiment, the clip C is formed separately from a first clip 9 to which a molding M can be attached and a second clip 10 which can be fixed to the door panel 1 side, specifically, the lean hose 3 side. Both are integrally formed of a synthetic resin material.

The first clip 9 is a flat slide plate 11.
The upper edge portion of the molding M extends over the hemming portion of the outer panel 2 so that the molding engaging piece 12 extends outward, and its leading edge is formed on the first flange edge f1 of the molding M. An engaging step 13 is formed along the width direction. On the other hand, the lower edge of the slide plate 11
It is folded back into a letter shape to form a holding piece 14 for elastically holding the second flange edge f2 of the molding M, and a claw piece 15 is formed inside the front end thereof.

[0013] A pair of guide pieces 16 are disposed at the height of the slide plate 11 on both the left and right sides on the side of the lean hose 3 and substantially at the center, and are formed in opposing L-shapes. . The two guide pieces 16 will be described in detail later.
And plays a role of a guide when the first clip 9 is slid along the height direction thereafter.

Further, at the upper center of the surface of the slide plate 11 on which the two guide pieces 16 are provided, a plurality of serration-shaped locking teeth 17 as height adjusting means are provided along the height direction. Steps are formed.

The second clip 10 has a flat plate-shaped substrate 18 which comes into contact with the lean hose 3 and the slide plate 11 of the first clip 9, respectively. I have. An elastic tongue 19 as an engagement means is provided below the surface of the substrate 18 facing the lean hose 3 and can be inserted into the clip mounting hole 4. The width of the elastic tongue piece 19 at the base side (root side) is formed to be substantially the same as or slightly smaller than the clip mounting hole 4 so as to regulate rattling, but becomes narrower toward the tip. It is formed slightly warped,
The insertion into the clip mounting hole 4 is facilitated. A holding groove 20 for elastically holding the lean hose 3 between the elastic tongue 19 and the substrate 18 is formed in the base of the elastic tongue 19.

A window 21 is formed above the elastic tongue 19 on the substrate 18. From the lower edge of the window portion 21, a retaining claw 22 (engaging means) serving to prevent the entire clip C from being detached is provided. The retaining claw 22 is formed so as to be flexibly deformable, and
As shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5, in the natural state, it extends obliquely upward toward the side facing the door glass G, and a part on the tip side projects from the surface of the substrate 18. However, when the protruding portion is pushed by the slide plate 11 in accordance with the sliding operation of the first clip 9, the first clip 9 bends toward the lean hose 3 side and the retaining portion 2 formed at the tip thereof.
3 enables engagement with the clip mounting hole 4 (FIG. 1).
And FIG. 6). Then, in order to enable such bending deformation, the tip of the retaining claw 22 is bulged in an arc shape to protrude this portion from the substrate 18 and the slide plate 11
Guides the bending and deforming operation toward the lean hose 3 when it comes into contact with the lower end of the hose. Also, when the retaining claw 22 is engaged with the clip mounting hole 4, the bulging portion is held in a state of being pressed by the slide plate 11. The return operation of the pawl 22 is restricted, that is, the engagement state of the retaining portion 23 is maintained.

A pair of temporary fixing recesses 24 are formed in the upper portions of both right and left side edges of the substrate 18 so that the guide pieces 16 are locked together to temporarily connect the first clip 9 and the second clip 10. It can be in a stopped state. For this reason, the notch width of the temporary fixing recess 24 is set to be at least higher than the width of the guide piece 16 itself. Further, the substrate 18
In the left and right sides of the surface facing the lean hose 3, cutouts 25 are formed in steps along the height direction so that the guide pieces 16 do not project from the surface of the substrate 18.

Further, a plurality of adjusting edges 26 constituting height adjusting means together with the locking teeth 17 are provided on the surface above the window 21 and on the side opposite to the slide plate 11, substantially the same as the locking teeth 17. It is formed along the height direction with a width. Each adjusting edge 26 plays a role of enabling the engagement position with the locking tooth 17 to be selectable in the height direction, whereby the mounting position of the first clip 9 with respect to the second clip 10 is variable in the height direction. Becomes

Next, the operation and effect of the thus configured clip of this embodiment will be specifically described.

First, a first clip 9 and a second clip 10
Is temporarily fixed. That is, the first clip 9
The two guide pieces 16 are forcibly expanded and fitted into the notches 25 of the second clip 10, respectively, so that the base plate 18 of the second clip 10 and the slide plate 1 of the first clip 9
The two guide pieces 16 are engaged with the temporarily-fixed concave portions 24 in a state where the guide pieces 1 are opposed to each other. As a result, the second clip 10 and the first clip 9 with the molding M attached are integrated.

Next, in order to attach the molding M to the first clip 9, the first flange edge f1 of the molding M is engaged with the step edge 13 of the molding locking piece 12, and the second flange edge f2 is It is inserted inside the holding piece 20. As a result, the second flange edge f2 side of the molding M is held between the holding piece 14 and the substrate 18 with elasticity, and the entire molding M is attached to the first clip 9 (the state of FIG. 4).

Thereafter, the entire clip C is positioned between the door panel 1 and the door glass G, and the distal end of the elastic tongue 19 is inserted into the clip mounting hole 4. Then, when the clip C is pushed down as it is, the lean hose 3 is held in the holding groove 2.
It is guided inside 0 and elastically clamped. However, in this state, as shown in FIG.
4, the first and second clips 9, 9,
The positional relationship in the height direction of 10 is maintained.

When the molding M and the first clip 9 are strongly pushed in from the state shown in FIG. 5, the engagement between the guide pieces 16 and the temporary fixing recess 24 is forcibly released, and the first clip 9
Is lowered while being guided by the two guide pieces 16. Then, as the slide plate 11 of the first clip 9 slides downward along the substrate 18 of the second clip 10, the slide plate 11 pushes the retaining claw 22 toward the lean hose 3. As a result, the retaining claw 22 is forcibly bent and deformed, and is engaged with the clip mounting hole 4. On the other hand, the locking teeth 17 begin to engage with the upper part of the adjusting edge 26. However, as shown in FIG. 5, if the sealing piece 6 of the molding M rises from the outer panel 2,
Until it contacts the outer panel 2 together with the molding M
When the clip 9 is pushed down, the locking teeth 17 are engaged with the corresponding adjusting edges 26, and the positional relationship between the clips 9, 10 in the height direction is fixed. Thus, the work of attaching the molding M is completed.

When the height of the clip mounting hole 4 varies, the mounting position of the first clip 9 varies. However, even if this happens,
Since the engaging position in the height direction of the second clip 10 with respect to the first clip 9 can be selected within a certain range, the mounting height of the molding M can be adjusted. Therefore, regardless of the variation of the clip mounting hole 4, the molding M is prevented from being lifted up and a good appearance is realized. Further, according to the present embodiment, the retaining claw 22 is pressed from the rear side by the slide plate 11 in the mounted state of the molding M, so that the engagement state with the clip mounting hole 4 is maintained, and the clip C is prevented from being removed. Is also enhanced.

Various modifications of the clip C are possible. For example, in this example, the clip C is divided into two parts.
Although the example in which the members are formed by the members has been described, they can be integrated by a detachable connecting means.
That is, the lower portion of the slide plate and the upper portion of the substrate may be connected by a thin piece, and the strength may be set to such a degree that the thin piece is separated by the pressing operation of the first clip. This further improves the handling of the clip.

FIG. 7 shows a modified example of the locking teeth 17 of the first clip 9. In this example, an opening 27 is formed in the center of the slide plate 11, and a plurality of locking teeth 17 are provided on both side edges of the opening 27 at regular intervals in a bridging manner. As a result, each locking tooth 17 is given an appropriate flexibility, so that the adjusting edge 26 on the second clip 10 side is provided.
The operation at the time of successively engaging with is improved.
