A pair of locking claws 3 having a locking end 3a facing the locking flange 2 at a predetermined interval are provided integrally with the locking flange 2 while being integrally provided in a circling state. Further, a required number of, for example, four holding claws 4 for closing and closing from the upper side to the lower side are provided integrally on the inner periphery of the upper end, and a planar shape for holding the engaging portion b of the pivot P with the holding claws 4 is provided. A cross-shaped receiving portion 5 is provided integrally on the inner periphery. The locking claw 3 is formed by providing a U-shaped opening 1o that opens downward to the cylinder 1, and is provided in a 180-degree positional relationship that is axially symmetric. The receiving portion 5 is located between the holding claws 4 in a plan view, and the thickness of the receiving portion 5 is within the range of the interval between the holding claws 4. Next, attachment of the fastener to the lamp housing will be described.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned inconvenience, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a fastener which can be detached from a member to be mounted with one touch and can be reused. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a fastener for fastening a mounting member to a member to be mounted by hooking an engaging portion of the mounting member. A locking flange is provided which comes into contact with the periphery of the mounting hole when inserted into the mounting hole, and a pair of locking claws are provided facing the locking flange at a predetermined interval, and holding the mounted member with the locking flange. The core and the outer cylinder that is of a size that just fits the core and is pushed from the locking claw side to the locking flange side, thereby bending the pair of locking claws to the inside of the core, The core and the outer cylinder are provided with complementary engaging portions that engage with each other to prevent the core from coming off from the outer cylinder and allow relative axial movement. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an embodiment of the fastener of the present invention, FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 2C are plan views of a core, a front view in which a left half of the core is sectioned, FIG. 3 is a left side view in which the right half of the core is a cross section.
(B), (c) is a plan view of the outer cylinder, a front view of the left half of the outer cylinder in cross section, a left side view of the right half of the outer cylinder in cross section,
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the fastener is attached to the lamp housing. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view for explaining how the fastener is removed from the lamp housing. The same or corresponding parts as those in FIGS. And the description is omitted. In addition,
The core and the outer cylinder are formed symmetrically, and the right side view appears the same as the left side view. In these figures, reference numeral 1A denotes a core formed of a synthetic resin and having a circular cross section, and has the same structure as the cylinder 1 shown in FIGS. Reference numeral 1g denotes a guide groove constituting a complementary engaging portion. The guide groove is orthogonal to the direction of the locking claw 3 and is axially symmetrical and has a positional relationship of 180 degrees. It is provided with a predetermined length, and the lower end is an engagement end 1e. Reference numeral 2A denotes a locking flange, which is provided at a center angle of approximately 50 degrees in a positional relationship of 180 degrees perpendicular to the guide groove 1g corresponding to the locking claw 3. Reference numeral 11 denotes a bottomed outer cylinder formed of a synthetic resin, which is formed in a shape similar to the core 1A, and which forms a complementary engaging portion at a portion corresponding to the guide groove 1g on the upper inner periphery. Nail 1
2 are provided integrally, and an opening 13 formed by stamping is provided in a bottom portion corresponding to each engagement claw 12. Reference numeral 14 denotes a pressing portion, which is formed by cutting a side wall in a semi-elliptical shape so that the locking flange 2A does not collide with a 180 ° positional relationship orthogonal to the engaging claw 12 corresponding to the locking claw 3. Is formed. Next, the assembly of the fastener will be described. The core 1A has a planar shape that fits and fits into the outer cylinder 11 exactly. First, the guide groove 1g of the core 1A is made to correspond to the engaging claw 12 of the outer cylinder 11, and the lower side of the core 1A is inserted into the outer cylinder 11 until the engaging claw 12 comes into contact with the core 1A. When the core 1A is pushed into the outer cylinder 11, the engagement claws 12 abut against the core 1A, and the core 1A and the outer cylinder 11 bend. As shown in FIG. When the core 1A is inserted into the outer cylinder 11 and the engagement claw 12 faces the guide groove 1g, the engagement claw 1 is formed by the elasticity of the core 1A and the outer cylinder 11.
2 enters the guide groove 1g, and the pressing portion 14 slightly presses against the locking claw 3. In this state, when the force for pushing the core 1A into the outer cylinder 11 is released, the pressing portion 14 is pushed by the elasticity of the locking claw 3, and the engaging claw 12 is engaged with the engaging end 1e. 1A is fixed in the outer cylinder 11 so as not to rattle, and the assembly is completed. Next, the attachment of the fastener to the lamp housing will be described. The mounting hole h of the lamp housing L has a size that allows the outer tube 11 to be inserted. First, when the lower side of the outer cylinder 11 is pushed into the mounting hole h of the lamp housing L, the locking piece 3 is pushed by the lamp housing L and bends inside the core 11, so that the locking piece 3 passes through the mounting hole h. Can be. When the locking piece 3 passes through the mounting hole h, it returns to its original state due to its own elasticity, and the locking end 3a is pressed against the lower surface of the lamp housing L. In this state, the locking flange 2A is pressed against the upper surface of the lamp housing L as shown in FIG. Next, the hanging of the pivot will be described. First, when the engaging portion b is pressed into the space between the holding claws 4 from above the core 1A against the elastic force in order to hook and hold the pivot P, the holding claw 4 is pressed by the engaging portion b and bends. The engagement portion b passes between the holding claws 4 and comes into contact with the receiving portion 5 because the engagement portion b spreads into a shape in which the joint portion b can be inserted. When the engaging portion b passes between the holding claws 4, the holding claw 4 returns to its original state by its own elasticity as shown in FIG. 5. Therefore, even if a force in the pull-out direction less than the predetermined value is applied to the pivot P, the holding claw 4 can be prevented from coming into contact with the engaging portion b. The engaging portion b is sandwiched between the four locking claws 4 and the four receiving portions 5 so as not to play. Next, the removal of the fastener from the lamp housing will be described. First, in the mounting state shown in FIG. 4, when the outer cylinder 11 is pushed from the back side of the lamp housing L to the front side, that is, from the locking claw 3 side to the locking flange 2A side, the engaging claw 12 is guided by the guide groove 1g, Since the outer cylinder 11 advances to the lamp housing L side, the locking claw 3 is pushed by the pressing portion 14 and bends inside the core 1A, and as shown in FIG. The engagement is released. Therefore, the fastener can be removed from the lamp housing L by simply pushing the outer cylinder 11. As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the mounting direction to the lamp housing L and the releasing direction to release the engagement of the locking claw 3 for removing from the lamp housing L are opposite to each other. Therefore, the engagement of the locking claw 3 with the lamp housing L is not erroneously released. Since the fastener can be removed from the lamp housing L by pushing the outer cylinder 11 toward the locking flange 2A, the operability can be improved by one-touch operation. Further, since the fastener can be removed from the lamp housing L, the fastener can be reused. In the above-described embodiment, the guide groove 1g constituting the complementary engaging portion is provided from the upper end of the core 1A. However, the guide groove 1g may be provided at a slight distance from the upper end of the core 1A. Good. And, as a complementary engaging portion, the core 1A
Although the guide groove 1g is provided on the outer cylinder 11 and the engagement claw 12 is provided on the outer cylinder 11, the engagement claw may be provided on the outer periphery of the core, and the guide groove may be provided on the outer cylinder as an opening or a cutout. Further, the opening or notch may be provided in a bottomed state in addition to being provided in a penetrating state. Further, the number of complementary engaging portions is not limited to two, and may be any number as long as it is two or more. The mounted member is the lamp housing L and the mounting member is the pivot P. Needless to say, the present invention can be applied to other members. As described above, according to the present invention, the direction of attachment to the member to be mounted and the direction of release for releasing the engagement of the locking claw for removal from the member to be mounted are opposite to each other. Therefore, the engagement of the locking claw with the mounting member is not erroneously released. Since the fastener can be removed from the member to be attached by pushing the outer cylinder toward the locking flange, the operability can be improved by one-touch operation. Furthermore, since the fastener can be removed from the attached member, the fastener can be reused.
