DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a U-shaped clip assembly in which a plurality of U-shaped clips are connected.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 7 is a front view showing a conventional U-shaped clip assembly (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-77822), FIG. 8 is a plan view showing the U-shaped clip assembly shown in FIG. FIG. 8 is a side view showing the U-shaped clip assembly shown in FIG. 7. As shown in the figure, legs 2 and 3 are provided on both sides of the head 1, and the head 1 and the legs 2 and 3 constitute a U-shaped clip 4, which is made of steel. A connecting wire 5 is attached to the head 1 by welding, and the connecting wire 5 is made of steel. A plurality of U-shaped clips 4 arranged in a line are connected by the connecting wire 5. Actually, a large number of, for example, about 10,000 U-shaped clips 4 are connected.

In this U-shaped clip assembly, the U-shaped clip assembly is supplied to a clip fastening device from the drum so that the legs 2, 3 are outward, and the wire to be fastened is U-shaped. If the clip fastening device is operated after being positioned inside the clip 4, the U-shaped clip 4 can fasten a wire to be fastened or the like.

[0004]

However, such a U
In the U-shaped clip assembly, since the blade of the clip fastening device collides with the U-shaped clip 4 when the to-be-fastened wire 11 is fastened by the U-shaped clip 4, the connecting wire 5 is usually caused by impact at the end of the welded portion. The connection wire 5 is cut at the end of the blade, and if the connection wire 5 is not cut, the connection wire 5 is bent by the blade when the blade returns.
For this reason, as shown in FIG. 10, the end of the connecting wire 5 may protrude from the head 1, and the worker, user, or the like may hurt his hand by the protruding end of the connecting wire 5. . Further, as described above, when the wire to be fastened 11 is fastened by the U-shaped clip 4, the connecting wire 5 is cut at the end of the welded portion and the connecting wire 5 is cut at the end of the blade. A part of the wire 5, that is, a hatched portion in FIG. 11 is cut off. For this reason, since the cut-off connecting wires are scattered in the fastening work place, the fastening work place is contaminated, and the cut-off connecting wires may enter a product having the wire to be fastened 11, for example, a bed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and does not hurt an operator, a user, or the like with a U-shaped clip after fastening, and does not stain a fastening work place. It is an object of the present invention to provide a U-shaped clip assembly in which foreign matter does not enter a product having a fastened wire or the like.

[0006]

In order to achieve this object, according to the present invention, in a U-shaped clip assembly in which a plurality of U-shaped clips are connected, a concave portion is provided in the U-shaped clip, and a resin is provided in the concave portion. A wire is provided, and a part of the U-shaped clip is swaged to the resin wire side.

[0007]

In this U-shaped clip assembly, when the wire to be fastened is fastened by the U-shaped clip, the end of the resin wire does not project and the wire to be fastened is fastened by the U-shaped clip. Sometimes, a portion of the resin wire is not cut off.

[0008]

1 is a front view showing a U-shaped clip assembly according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the U-shaped clip assembly shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a U-shaped clip shown in FIG. It is a side view which shows an assembly. As shown in the figure, a concave portion 6 is provided in an upper portion of a head portion 1, a resin wire 7 made of a polyolefin resin such as polypropylene is provided in the concave portion 6, and a side portion 1 a of the head portion 1 is swaged to the resin wire 7 side. A plurality of U-shaped clips 4 arranged in a line are connected by a resin wire 7. Actually, a large number of, for example, about 10,000 U-shaped clips 4 are connected.

In this U-shaped clip assembly, the resin wire 7 as a connecting member does not exist on the head 1 of the U-shaped clip 4 and there is no welded portion. When fastening a wire or the like, the resin wire 7 is cut at the center of the adjacent U-shaped clip 4 by the blade of the clip fastening device, so that when the blade returns, the resin wire 7 may be bent by the blade. Absent. For this reason, since the end of the resin wire 7 does not protrude from the head 1, the worker, the user, etc.
Do not hurt your hands with the clip. Further, as described above, when the wire to be fastened is fastened by the U-shaped clip 4, the resin wire 7 is cut at the center of the adjacent U-shaped clip 4, so that a part of the resin wire 7 is cut off. Never. For this reason, since the cut resin wire is not scattered in the fastening work place, the fastening work place is not stained, and no foreign matter enters a product having a wire to be fastened.

FIG. 4 is a front view showing another U-shaped clip assembly according to the present invention, FIG. 5 is a plan view showing the U-shaped clip assembly shown in FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 is a U-shaped clip shown in FIG. It is a side view which shows a clip assembly. As shown in the figure, a concave portion 8 is provided on a side portion of a head 1, a resin wire 9 made of a polyolefin resin such as polypropylene is provided in the concave portion 8, and a projecting piece 10 provided on the head 1 is a resin wire. A plurality of U-shaped clips 4 crimped to the 9 side and arranged in a line by a resin wire 9 are connected. Actually, a large number of, for example, about 10,000 U-shaped clips 4 are connected.

In this U-shaped clip assembly, as in the case of the U-shaped clip assembly shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, an operator, a user, and the like do not hurt their hands with the U-shaped clip after fastening. Further, the fastening work place is not polluted, and no foreign matter enters the product having the wire to be fastened. Further, when the to-be-fastened wire or the like is fastened by the U-shaped clip 4, the to-be-fastened wire or the like comes into contact with the connecting wire 9 and the connecting wire 9 is deformed. Since the amount increases by an amount corresponding to the amount, even if the U-shaped clip 4 returns and deforms, the U-shaped clip 4 and the wire to be fastened are strongly pressed, and the fastening force is strong.

In the above embodiment, the resin wires 7 and 9 made of polyolefin resin are used, but resin wires made of other resins may be used.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, the U
In the U-shaped clip assembly, the end of the resin wire does not protrude when the U-shaped clip fastens the wire to be fastened. Since the resin wire is not cut off when the wire or the like is fastened by the U-shaped clip without being damaged, the cut-off resin wire is not scattered in the fastening work place. In addition, the fastening work place is not contaminated, and no foreign matter enters the product having the wire to be fastened.
