Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、自動車のバンパーをフェンダーなどの車体パネルに固定する固定クリップに関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来のこの種固定クリップとして、特開平７−３２９６３１号公報に示すものが存する。
該従来の固定クリップは、具体的には図示しないが、合成樹脂の一体成形品で、バンパーの端部を挾持するＵ字状の挾持部と、該挾持部の下面に設けられて車体パネルに穿設された取付孔に係着する脚部とを備え、上記Ｕ字状の挾持部間にバンパーの端部を差し込んだ状態を得て、脚部を車体パネルの取付孔に係着することにより、バンパーを車体パネル側に固定できる構成となっている。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従って、従来の固定クリップにあっては、簡単な構造の下で、バンパーを車体パネルに固定することが可能となる訳であるが、反面、バンパーの端部を挾持部で挾持する場合には、そのＵ字形状を画成する上下２枚の挾持片で挾持することとなり、又、クリップの脚部を車体パネルの取付孔に係着する場合には、脚部に形成された弾性係止片を取付孔の孔縁に弾性的に係着するだけであるから、どちらかと言うと、バンパーの固定状態が不安定となる嫌いがあった。
【０００４】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、斯かる従来固定クリップの課題を有効に解決するために開発されたもので、請求項１記載の発明は、通孔を穿設したバンパーの端部を挾持するＵ字状の挾持部と、車体パネルの取付孔内に挿入されてネジの螺合により拡開する脚部とを備えるバンパー固定クリップであって、上記挾持部の一面側に脚部を形成し、挾持部の他面側に脚部の内部空間と同一線上で連通するネジの挿入口を形成する一方、挾持部に対するネジの挿入方向は、そのＵ字状底部からＵ字状開口部に向かって傾斜するように方向付けられて、バンパーの端部を挾持部で挾持しながら、ネジの先端部を挿入口からバンパーの通孔を経て脚部に螺合させる構成を採用した。
【０００５】
請求項２記載の発明は、請求項１を前提として、車体パネルの取付孔の孔縁に係着する一対の仮止め用弾性爪を有して、該各仮止め用弾性爪がバンパーの挾持部に対する差し込み方向と交差している構成を採用した。
【０００６】
請求項３記載の発明は、請求項２を前提として、車体パネルの取付孔の各角部に当接する回転規制部を脚部と仮止め用弾性爪とから分離して設ける構成を採用した。
【０００７】
請求項４記載の発明は、請求項３を前提として、各回転規制部を延長して、その先端部同士を連結する構成を採用した。
請求項５記載の発明は、請求項１を前提として、Ｕ字状の挾持部における他面側の開口縁は、Ｕ字形状の拡開方向へ傾斜されており、バンパーの固定状態において、該他面側の開口縁がバンパーの裏面に当接する構成を採用した。
【０００８】
依って、請求項１記載の発明にあっては、バンパーの端部を挾持部で挾持しながら、１本のネジをその挿入口からバンパーの通孔を経て脚部に螺合して、車体パネルの取付孔に挿入されている脚部を外方に拡開させることにより、固定クリップ自体が車体パネルに確実・強固に固定されると同時に、バンパーも車体パネルに確実・強固に固定することが可能となる。
【０００９】
請求項２記載の発明にあっては、一対の仮止め用弾性爪がバンパーの挾持部に対する差し込み方向と交差しているので、固定クリップの仮止め中に、バンパーの重量で、固定クリップが車体パネルの取付孔から脱落する心配がない。請求項３記載の発明にあっては、脚部と仮止め用弾性爪とは分離する回転規制部が車体パネルの取付孔の各角部に当接するので、仮止め中であっても、ネジの螺合中であっても、固定クリップ自体の回転規制が確実に保障できる。請求項４記載の発明にあっては、回転規制部の先端部同士が延長されて連結されているので、該延長連結部分が車体パネルの取付孔に対する挿入ガイド機能を発揮すると共に、回転規制の強化が一層図れることとなる。請求項５記載の発明にあっては、挾持部の他面側の開口縁は、車体パネルから離れた位置で、バンパーの裏面を支えられるので、バンパーを車体パネルに対してよりしっかりと固定できる。
【００１０】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を図示する好適な実施の形態に基づいて詳述すれば、該実施の形態に係るバンパー固定クリップは、自動車のバンパーを車体パネルたる樹脂製のフェンダー側に固定するものとして開発されたもので、従来と同様に、合成樹脂の一体成形品である。
【００１１】
そして、その基本構造は、図１・図２に示す如く、通孔を穿設したバンパーの端部を挾持するＵ字状の挾持部１と、フェンダー側に穿設されている取付孔に挿入されてネジの螺合により拡開する脚部たる一対の拡開片２とを備え、上記Ｕ字状の挾持部１の一面側に対しては、一対の拡開片２を一定の傾斜角度をもって形成すると共に、該拡開片２の拡開しない外周に拡開片２を連続して取り囲む枠壁３を略同一の傾斜角度をもって形成して、該枠壁３の両側部に一対の仮止め用弾性爪４をスリット５を介して設ける構成となっているが、この各仮止め用弾性爪４の姿勢は、バンパーの端部が上記挾持部１内に差し込まれる方向と交差する状態となっている。
【００１２】
又、挾持部１の一面側に連接される枠壁３の４個の基部３ａは、一対の拡開片２や一対の仮止め用弾性爪４とは分離して、フェンダーの取付孔の各角部に当接することにより、固定クリップ自体の回転を確実に規制する回転規制部として作用するものであるが、いずれの基部３ａも、拡開片２の先端部方向へ延長して、そこで、先端部同士が連結されて、枠壁３を構成している。
【００１３】
挾持部１の他面側に対しては、上記一対の拡開片２の内部空間と同一線上で連通するネジの挿入口６を穿設する構成となっている。従って、このネジの挿入口６も、上記した拡開片２や枠壁３と同様に、一定の傾斜角度が付与されている。
【００１４】
依って、斯かる構成の固定クリップを用いて、自動車のバンパー１１を車体パネルたるフェンダー１２に固定する場合には、図３に示す如く、枠壁３の連結先端部分を挿入ガイドとして、当該枠壁３と一対の拡開片２をフェンダー１２側に予め穿設されている角形の取付孔１２ａに挿入すると、一対の仮止め用弾性爪４が内側に撓みながら通過して、取付孔１２ａの孔縁に弾性的に係着するので、これにより、クリップ自体がフェンダー１２側に仮止めされることとなる。
【００１５】
そこで、今度は、図４に示す如く、Ｕ字状を呈する挾持部１の内部にバンパー１１の端部を差し込むこととなるが、この場合には、ネジの挿入口６とバンパー１１の通孔１１ａと一対の拡開片２の内部とが一致する状態に差し込むものとする。又、この状態では、バンパー１１の重量を挾持部１で受け止めこととなるが、一対の仮止め用弾性爪４がバンパー１１の挾持部１に対する差し込み方向と交差しているので、固定クリップがバンパー１１の重量に負けて取付孔１２ａから脱落することを防止する。
【００１６】
従って、後は、図５・図６に示す如く、挿入口６からネジ１３の先端部を挿入して、バンパー１１の通孔１１ａを経て一対の拡開片２に内側から螺合させると、一対の拡開片２が外方に拡開しながら、取付孔１２ａの孔縁に係着して、固定クリップ自体がフェンダー１２側に強固に固定されると同時に、バンパー１１がフェンダー１２側に強固に固定されることとなるので、バンパー１１の固定状態が不安定となることは決してない。
【００１７】
又、このネジ１３の螺合中にあっては、先端部側が延長して連結された枠壁３の４個の基部３ａは、図７に示す如く、回転規制部として取付孔１２ａの各角部に当接して、クリップ自体の回転を規制することとなるので、クリップ自体の回転規制が確実に行なわれることとなる。尚、斯かる回転規制は、固定クリップをフェンダー１２の取付孔１２ａに仮止めした場合にも、同様に得られるものである。
【００１９】
【発明の効果】
以上の如く、本発明は、上記構成の採用により、バンパーの端部を挾持部で挾持しながら、１本のネジをその挿入口からバンパーの通孔を経て脚部に螺合して、車体パネルの取付孔に挿入されている脚部を外方に拡開させることにより、固定クリップ自体が車体パネルに確実・強固に固定されると同時に、バンパーも車体パネルに確実・強固に固定することが可能となる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a fixing clip for fixing a bumper of an automobile to a vehicle body panel such as a fender.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As such a conventional fixing clip, there is one shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-329631.
Although not shown specifically, the conventional fixing clip is an integrally molded product of synthetic resin, and is provided with a U-shaped holding portion that holds the end of the bumper, and a lower surface of the holding portion. A leg portion that engages with the drilled mounting hole, obtains a state in which the end of the bumper is inserted between the U-shaped holding portions, and the leg portion is engaged with the mounting hole of the vehicle body panel. Thus, the bumper can be fixed to the vehicle body panel side.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, in the conventional fixing clip, it is possible to fix the bumper to the vehicle body panel under a simple structure. On the other hand, when holding the end of the bumper with the holding part, The upper and lower gripping pieces defining the U-shape are used to hold the clip, and when the clip leg is engaged with the mounting hole of the vehicle body panel, the elastic lock formed on the leg is used. Since the piece is only elastically engaged with the hole edge of the mounting hole, there is a dislike that the fixed state of the bumper becomes unstable.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention was developed in order to effectively solve the problem of the conventional fixing clip. The invention according to claim 1 is a U-shaped gripping device that grips the end of a bumper having a through hole. And a leg that is inserted into the mounting hole of the vehicle body panel and expands by screwing, and the leg is formed on one side of the holding part, and the other part of the holding part On the surface side, a screw insertion port communicating on the same line as the internal space of the leg portion is formed, while the screw insertion direction with respect to the holding portion is inclined from the U-shaped bottom portion toward the U-shaped opening portion. A configuration was adopted in which the tip end of the screw was screwed into the leg portion from the insertion port through the through hole of the bumper while the end portion of the bumper was held by the holding portion.
[0005]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, on the premise of the first aspect, there is provided a pair of temporary pawl elastic claws that are engaged with the hole edges of the mounting holes of the vehicle body panel, and each of the temporary pawl elastic claws holds the bumper. Adopted a configuration that intersects the direction of insertion into the part.
[0006]
The invention described in claim 3 is based on the premise of claim 2 and adopts a configuration in which a rotation restricting portion that abuts on each corner of the mounting hole of the vehicle body panel is provided separately from the leg portion and the temporary pawl elastic claw.
[0007]
The invention described in claim 4 is based on the premise of claim 3 and employs a configuration in which each rotation restricting portion is extended and the tip portions thereof are connected to each other.
According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, on the premise of the first aspect, the opening edge on the other surface side of the U-shaped holding portion is inclined in the U-shaped expanding direction, and in the fixed state of the bumper, A configuration is adopted in which the opening edge on the other surface abuts against the back surface of the bumper.
[0008]
Therefore, in the invention according to claim 1, while holding the end portion of the bumper with the holding portion, one screw is screwed into the leg portion from the insertion port through the through hole of the bumper. By expanding the legs inserted into the panel mounting holes outward, the fixing clip itself is securely and firmly fixed to the vehicle body panel, and at the same time, the bumper is also securely and firmly fixed to the vehicle body panel. Is possible.
[0009]
In the invention according to claim 2, since the pair of temporarily fixing elastic claws intersects the insertion direction of the bumper with respect to the holding portion of the bumper, the fixed clip is fixed to the vehicle body by the weight of the bumper during temporary fixing of the fixed clip. There is no worry of falling off the panel mounting holes. In the invention according to claim 3, since the rotation restricting portion that separates the leg portion and the temporarily fixing elastic claw is in contact with each corner portion of the mounting hole of the vehicle body panel, Even during the screwing, the rotation restriction of the fixed clip itself can be reliably ensured. In the invention according to claim 4, since the front ends of the rotation restricting portions are extended and connected, the extended connecting portion exhibits an insertion guide function with respect to the mounting hole of the vehicle body panel, and the rotation restricting portion. It will be possible to further strengthen. In the invention according to claim 5, since the opening edge on the other surface side of the holding portion can support the back surface of the bumper at a position away from the vehicle body panel, the bumper can be more firmly fixed to the vehicle body panel. .
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the bumper fixing clip according to the embodiment will be described in detail based on a preferred embodiment illustrated in the drawings, and the bumper fixing clip according to the embodiment has been developed to fix the bumper of an automobile to a resin fender side which is a vehicle body panel. As is the case with the prior art, it is an integrally molded product of synthetic resin.
[0011]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the basic structure is inserted into a U-shaped gripping portion 1 that grips the end of a bumper having a through hole and a mounting hole drilled on the fender side. And a pair of expanding pieces 2 that are leg portions that are expanded by screwing, and the pair of expanding pieces 2 are inclined at a certain inclination angle with respect to one surface side of the U-shaped gripping portion 1. A frame wall 3 that continuously surrounds the spread piece 2 on the outer periphery of the spread piece 2 is formed with substantially the same inclination angle, and a pair of temporary walls are formed on both sides of the frame wall 3. The elastic claw 4 for stopping is provided through the slit 5, and the posture of each of the elastic claw 4 for temporary fixing intersects the direction in which the end of the bumper is inserted into the holding portion 1. It has become.
[0012]
Further, the four base portions 3a of the frame wall 3 connected to the one surface side of the gripping portion 1 are separated from the pair of expanding pieces 2 and the pair of temporary fixing elastic claws 4, and each of the fender mounting holes. By abutting the corner portion, it acts as a rotation restricting portion that reliably restricts the rotation of the fixed clip itself, but any base portion 3a extends in the direction of the distal end portion of the spreading piece 2, The front ends are connected to each other to form the frame wall 3.
[0013]
On the other surface side of the holding part 1, a screw insertion port 6 is provided that communicates with the internal space of the pair of spread pieces 2 on the same line. Therefore, the screw insertion port 6 is also given a constant inclination angle, like the above-described spread piece 2 and frame wall 3.
[0014]
Therefore, when the automobile bumper 11 is fixed to the fender 12 as the vehicle body panel using the fixing clip having such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 3, the connecting tip portion of the frame wall 3 is used as an insertion guide. When the wall 3 and the pair of expanded pieces 2 are inserted into the square mounting holes 12a that are drilled in advance on the fender 12 side, the pair of temporary fastening elastic claws 4 pass while being bent inward, and the mounting holes 12a Since it is elastically engaged with the hole edge, the clip itself is temporarily fixed to the fender 12 side.
[0015]
Therefore, this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the end of the bumper 11 is inserted into the holding portion 1 having a U-shape. In this case, the screw insertion port 6 and the through hole of the bumper 11 are inserted. It shall be inserted in the state where 11a and the inside of a pair of expansion pieces 2 correspond. Further, in this state, the weight of the bumper 11 is received by the holding portion 1, but since the pair of temporary fixing elastic claws 4 intersect the insertion direction of the bumper 11 with respect to the holding portion 1, the fixing clip is used as the bumper 11. 11 is prevented from falling off the mounting hole 12a under the weight of 11.
[0016]
Therefore, after that, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, when the tip of the screw 13 is inserted from the insertion port 6 and screwed into the pair of expanding pieces 2 from the inside through the through holes 11 a of the bumper 11, While the pair of expanding pieces 2 expand outward, they engage with the edge of the mounting hole 12a, and the fixing clip itself is firmly fixed to the fender 12 side. At the same time, the bumper 11 is moved to the fender 12 side. Since it will be firmly fixed, the fixed state of the bumper 11 will never become unstable.
[0017]
Further, during the screwing of the screw 13, the four base portions 3a of the frame wall 3 which are connected with the distal end portion extended, as shown in FIG. 7, each corner of the mounting hole 12a as a rotation restricting portion. Since the rotation of the clip itself is restricted by coming into contact with the portion, the rotation of the clip itself is reliably controlled. Such rotation restriction can be obtained in the same manner even when the fixing clip is temporarily fixed to the attachment hole 12a of the fender 12.
[0019]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, by adopting the above configuration, one end of the bumper is held by the holding portion, and one screw is screwed into the leg portion from the insertion port via the through hole of the bumper. By expanding the legs inserted into the panel mounting holes outward, the fixing clip itself is securely and firmly fixed to the vehicle body panel, and at the same time, the bumper is also securely and firmly fixed to the vehicle body panel. Is possible.
