【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は取付け対象体に対して確実に被取付け物の取付けをなすと共に該取付対象体からの被取付け物の取り外しに際して該被取付け物と共に当該取付け対象体から容易に取り外して回収し得るようにしたクリップの提供に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
自動車などに内装部品を組み付ける組み付け手段として用いられ、しかも、この内装部品の取り外しに際して該内装部品と共に取り付け対象物から取り外し得るようにした各種のクリップがある。
【０００３】
図１２及び図１３は、かかる従来のクリップを示すものである。
図１２に示されるクリップ１００は被取付け物１１０のリブ１１１に対して取付けられると共に該クリップ１００を用いて取付け板１２０に該被取り付け物１１０を取り付けるものであって、このクリップ１００は先端側を窄ませるように該先端側で連続されている一対の脚片１０１、１０１を各端部側に向けて一旦該各脚片１０１間の間隔を離した後、これを互いに近付く向きに屈曲した肩部１０１ａを有し、また、該肩部１０１ａから互いに平行な状態で延設される嵌め合い部１０１ｂを有し、また、この嵌め合い部１０１ｂ端から外方に突き出す鍔部１０２を有する構成としてあり、しかも、前記脚片１０１の先端部の内側から突き出す挟持部１０３を有しており、該挟持部１０３に前記リブ１１１の両側から接触する平坦な挟持面１０３ａと該リブ１１１に構成されている係合孔１１１ａに係合される係合突部１０３ｂを備えた構成としてある。
【０００４】
そして、前記被取付け物１１０のリブ１１１を該クリップ１００の各脚片１０１間から該脚片１０１の先端側にある挟持部１０３の各係合突部１０３ｂ間に押し入れ、この挟持部１０３の挟持面１０３ａ間に該リブ１１１の先端部を入れ込むと共に該リブ１１１に備えられている係合孔１１１ａに前記係合突部１０３ｂを係合させて該クリップ１００を該被取付け物１１０に備えさせ、これを前記取付け板１２０の取付け孔１２１内に前記クリップ１００の先端側から差入れて、該クリップ１００における前記鍔部１０２を該取付け孔１２１の一方側に、また前記肩部１０１ａを該取付け孔１２１の他方側に係合させて前記被取付け物１１０を取付け板１２０に組み付けるようにして用いていた。
【０００５】
また図１３に示されるクリップ２００は、前記と同様に被取付け物２１０に備えられている係止片２１１の係合孔２１１ａにクリップ２００の抜け止め片２０３の係止突起２０３ｂを係止させて該クリップ２００を前記被取付け物２１０に組み付けると共に、この被取付け物２１０に備えられたクリップ２００を取付け板２２０に設けられている取付け孔２２１に差入れて該被取付け物２１０を該取付け板２２０に組み付けるものであって、このクリップ２００は、先端側のＵ字状部２０１ａで連続されている一対の脚片２０１を有すると共に、夫々の端部側に外向きの鍔部２０２を有し、しかも、前記Ｕ字状部２０１ａから該鍔部２０２側に向けて脚片２０１を一旦該方に互いに離れるように屈曲した後再度互いに近付く側に屈曲した「く字状」の屈曲部２０１ｂを有し、更に該屈曲部２０１ｂから前記鍔部２０２に向けて互いに平行な嵌め合い部２０１ｃを有する構成としてあり、この屈曲部２０１ｂの内側の各屈曲片間を亙るように該屈曲部２０１ｂの一方の片部２０１ｂ’から該脚片２０１間に突き出すと片部２０３ａ’と、この片部２０３ａ’から再度他方の屈曲部２０１ｂの片部２０１ｂ”に向けて屈曲する片部２０３ａ”を備えた抜け止め片２０３を有する構成としてあり、前記屈曲部２０１ｂと共に菱形をなすように構成する該抜け止め片２０３の突き出し端部に前記係止突起２０３ｂを有する構成としてある。
【０００６】
そして、前記抜け止め片２０３間に前記被取付け物２１０の係止片２１１を受け入れ且つ該係止片２１１の係合孔２１１ａに前記係止突起２０３ｂを係止して該クリップ２００を被取付け物２１０に組み付けると共に該クリップ２００の先端側から前記取付け板２２０の取付け孔２２１に該クリップ２００と被取付け物２１０とを差入れ、該クリップ２００における前記鍔部２０２と前記屈曲部２０１ｂの片部２０１ｂ”との間で該取付け板２２０を挟持するようにして該被取付け物２１０を取付け板２２０に取り付けるようにして用いていた。
【０００７】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、図１２で示されるクリップ１００は、被取付け物１１０のリブ１１１の挟持部１０３が該クリップ１００の先端側の内側から突き出す構成としてあり、このクリップ１００を備えた前記被取付け物１１０を前記取付け板１２０の取付け孔１２１から取り外す際に、該クリップ１００は該クリップ１００の係合突部１０３ｂを前記リブ１１１の係合孔１１１ａの孔面によって前記取付け孔１２１から抜き出す向きに引かれると同時に、このリブ１１１による該クリップ１００の引っ張りによって該クリップ１００の肩部１０１ａが前記取付け孔１２１の孔縁に沿って前記脚片１０１を互いに窄ませるように当接されることとなり、この取付け孔１２１の孔縁による前記肩部１０１ａの撓み込みに要する力が前記係合孔１１１ａと前記係合突部１０３ｂの係合力を上回る場合、前記被取付け物１１０のリブ１１１が該クリップ１００の前記係合突部１０３ｂとの係合を離脱して該クリップ１００を前記取付け孔１２１に残した状態で前記被取付け物１１０が前記取付け板１２０から取り外される不具合があった。
【０００８】
特に、前記図１２で示されるクリップ１００にあっては、前記挟持部１０３の係合突部１０３ｂが前記クリップ１００の先端側に備えられており、前記リブ１１１を前記取付け孔１２１から引き抜く側に引いた際に、該係合突部１０３が前記リブ１１１の係合孔１１１ａに対する係合を解くように互いに離れる側に変形される不具合があった。
【０００９】
また、図１３に示されるクリップ２００は、前記係止片２１１の係合孔２１１ａに係合される係止突起２０３ｂを有する抜け止め片２０３が、前記「く字状」の屈曲部２０１ｂを有する脚片２０１の端部側にある嵌め合い部２０１ｃから離れた位置にある前記該脚片２０１部分から突き出し状態に設けてあって、該クリップ２００の長さ方向の略中央の該脚片２０１相互が比較的離れた位置で前記係止片２１１に係止される係止突起２０３ｂを有するように突き出し設けられた比較的長寸状のものとして構成してあり、前記被取付け物２１０を前記取付け板２２０に安定した組み付け状態に維持するのに難があり、また、前記クリップ２００を該被取付け物２１０と共に前記取付け板２２０から確実に取り外すのに難があった。
【００１０】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記目的を達成するために請求項１に記載の発明を、差入れ先端側で連続されいている脚片部を互いに向き合うように備えた脚部と、
この夫々の脚片部から前記先端側に向けて延びるように該脚片部間に備えられている係止保持片部と、
前記脚片部の夫々の端部側から互いに離れる向きに突き出すように備えられている鍔状部と、
該鍔状部に向き合うように前記脚片部に備えられている係合部とを有し、
前記係止保持片部間に被取付け物の取付け部を受け入れ且つ該取付け部の係止孔の孔内面に該係止保持片部の係止部を係止させて該被取付け物に対して抜け止め状態に備えられると共に取付け対象体の取付け孔周辺部の一方の面に前記鍔状部を係合し且つ他方の側に前記係合部を係合させるように該取付け孔に差入れ取りつけられるプラスチック製のクリップであって、
前記係止保持片部が前記脚片部の端部側から前記先端側に向けて延びるように備えられていると共に、
前記係止保持片部の係止部が前記係合部よりも前記脚片部の端部側で前記係止孔の孔内面に係止可能としてあることを特徴とするクリップとしてある。
【００１１】
このように構成されるクリップにあっては、当該クリップが前記取付け対象体の取付け孔内において前記被取付け物の係止孔に係止部を係止した状態で該被取付け物を保持すると共に、前記被取付け物を前記取付け対象体から取り外す際に前記クリップを被取付け物と共に取付け対象体から取り外すことができる。
【００１２】
このように構成されるクリップにあっては、前記取付け対象体に取り付けられる被取付け物が、この取付け対象体の取付け孔内において前記クリップの係止部に係止された状態で保持され、この被取付け物の抜き出し方向に向けた動きを該取付け孔内において前記係止部で阻止すると共に、抜き差し方向以外の向きに生ずる該取付対象体と被取付け物相互間の動きに際して該クリップの係止部における被取付け物の取付け部の傾き量が少なく、前記取付け対象体と被取付け物相互間における互いに傾く向きに向けた動きに対して該クリップの係止保持片部の変形量が少なく、このクリップの係止保持片部間に前記被取付け物の取付け部が安定に係止保持される。
【００１３】
また、この被取付け物の抜き差し方向以外の向きに生ずる該取付対象体と被取付け物相互間の動きに際して該クリップの係止部にもたらされる力によって変形される前記係止保持片部の変形は、この係止保持片部に連続されている前記脚片部が前記取付け孔の内面によって該変形を防ぐ向きに支持されていることから比較的変形し難く、前記取付け対象体と被取付け物相互間における互いに傾く向きに向けた動きに対して該クリップの係止保持片部の変形量を少なくし、このクリップの係止保持片部間に前記被取付け物の取付け部が安定に係止保持される。
【００１４】
また、この被取付け物を取付け対象体から引き抜く向きに向けて動かした際に、前記取付け対象体における取付け孔の孔縁によって互いに近づく向きに撓められる前記脚部の脚片部に連続されている前記係止保持片部が該脚片部の撓みに相応して前記取付け部の係止孔内に向けて移動されて該係止孔の孔内面に密着する向きの力を受けることから該クリップが前記取付け部に確実に保持された状態で該被取付け物と共に前記取付け対象体から取り外される。
【００１５】
また、前記目的を達成するために請求項２に記載の発明は、前記請求項１に記載の発明において、前記鍔状部が前記脚片部の端部側から該鍔状部の先端側を前記係合部の側に近付くように傾斜状に設けてあると共に、
前記係止保持片部が前記脚片部の端部側で前記鍔状部に連続するように設けられていることを特徴とするクリップとしてある。
【００１６】
このように構成されるクリップにあっては、前記特長に併せて、前記取付け対象体の取付け孔の一方側の孔縁に前記係合部を係合させた状態で該取付け孔の他方側の周辺部の面に弾発状態で係合される前記鍔状部によって前記係止保持片部に保持されている前記被取付け物の抜け出し方向の動きを該係止保持片部の係止部によって弾性的に阻止できる。
【００１７】
また、前記目的を達成するために請求項３に記載の発明は、前記請求項１又は請求項２に記載の発明において、前記係止保持片部が前記脚片部の係合部よりも先端側で該脚片部に連続されていることを特徴とするクリップとしてある。
【００１８】
このように構成されるクリップにあっては、前記特長に併せて、該クリップによって前記取付け対象体の取付け孔に組み付けられている前記被取付け物の取付け部を該係止保持片部によって安定に保持すると共に前記被取付け物の取付け部の該クリップからの抜き出し方向に向けた動きに際しての前記係止保持片部の変形量を少なくすることができる。
【００１９】
また、前記目的を達成するために請求項４に記載の発明は、前記請求項１、請求項２又は請求項３に記載の発明において、前記係止保持片部が前記係止部から前記脚部の先端側に向けて延びる部分を挟持部としてあると共に該挟持部の延設方向に略直交する向きの隆起凸条を該挟持部の互いに向き合った面に夫々複数個備えていることを特徴とするクリップとしてある。
【００２０】
このように構成されるクリップにあっては、前記特長に併せて、該クリップによって前記取付け対象体の取付け孔に組み付けられている前記被取付け物の取付け部を該係止保持片部間に該係止保持片部との間における接触面積を極力少なくした状態で安定に保持できると共に前記被取付け物の取付け部を該クリップの係止保持片部間に容易に差し入れ組み付けることができる。
【００２１】
この結果、前記クリップと被取付け物の取付け部との間における接触音を少なくすることができる。
【００２２】
また、前記目的を達成するために請求項５記載の発明は、前記請求項１、請求項２、請求項３又は請求項４に記載の発明において、前記係止保持片部が前記脚片部に向き合う側に該係止保持片部の延設方向に直交する向きの補強隆起部を備えていることを特徴とするクリップとしてある。
【００２３】
このように構成されるクリップにあっては、前記特長に併せて、該クリップによって前記取付け対象体の取付け孔に組み付けられている前記被取付け物の取付け部を該係止保持片部間に安定に係止状態に保持することができる。
【００２４】
また、前記目的を達成するために請求項６記載の発明は、前記請求項１、請求項２、請求項３、請求項４又は請求項５に記載の発明において、前記脚片部が前記鍔状部を突き出し状態に備える部分から該脚片部の先端側に向けて仮想の直線に略沿う片部を有すると共に該片部に前記係合部を有しており、
この片部に備えられる前記係合部が該片部から隆起して前記鍔状部に向き合う傾斜係合面を有する係合隆起部としてあると共に、
前記係止保持片部の挟持部が該挟持部に向き合う前記脚片部に略平行とされていることを特徴とするクリップとしてある。
【００２５】
このように構成されるクリップにあっては、前記特長に併せて、該クリップによって取付対象体の取付け孔内に組み付けられている被取付け物の取付け部が抜き出し方向に引かれた際に、前記傾斜係合面が該取付け孔の孔縁に接して前記脚片部を前記係止保持片部と共に前記係止部を前記取付け部の係止孔内に押し入れる向きに確実に撓める。
【００２６】

【００３２】
また、この被取付け物Ｂを取付け対象体Ｃから引き抜く向きに向けて動かした際に、前記取付け対象体Ｃにおける取付け孔５１の孔縁によって互いに近づく向きに撓められる前記の脚部１０の脚片部１１に連続されている前記係止保持片部２０が該脚片部１１の撓みに相応して前記取付け部４０の係止孔４３内に向けて移動されて該係止孔４３の孔内面４３ａに密着する向きの力を受けることから該クリップＡが前記取付け部４０に確実に保持された状態で該被取付け物Ｂと共に前記取付け対象体Ｃから取り外される。
【００３３】
また、前記構成に係るクリップＡにおいて、前記鍔状部３０が前記脚片部１１の端部側１１ａから該鍔状部３０の先端側を前記係合部１３の側に近付くように傾斜状に設けてあると共に、前記係止保持片部２０が前記脚片部１１の端部側１１ａで前記鍔状部３０に連続するように設けられているクリップＡとしてあってもよい。

このように構成される係止保持片部２０は、この互いに向き合って備えられている各挟持部２１間が前記被取付け物Ｂにおける取付け部４０を両面側から挟み付けるようにして保持する差入れ隙間ｘとしてある。そして、該取付け部４０を前記上部連結部２３の傾斜面に沿って前記係止部２２の係止爪２２ａを互いに離れ出す向きに移動させるように前記係止保持片部２０に弾性変形をもたらしながら前記隙間ｘに差入れ、その先端部を前記脚部１０における先端側１０ａの内部方に到るように案内すると共に該取付け部４０によって側方に撓めていた前記係止保持片部２０における係止部２２の係止爪２２ａを該取付け部４０における係止孔４３内に受け入れ係止させる構成としてある。
【００６０】
また、この図示例に係るクリップＡにあっては、前記脚片部１１と係止保持片部２０との間に隙間ｙを有する構成としてあり、この隙間ｙによって前記取付け部４０に備えられているクリップＡにおける脚片部１１の互いに窄まる側に向けた撓みを受け入れ得るようにしてある。
【００６１】
かかるクリップＡの脚部１０の先端部には該脚部１０を取付け対象体Ｃの取付け孔５１内に案内する案内突部１５が設けてある。

【００６２】
また、前記係止保持片部２０の下部連続部２４から前記脚部１０の底面側に向けて前記係止保持片部２０の面に略面一の状態でリブ２６を設けてある。
このリブ２６は、このリブ２６の備えられている脚部１０部分における撓み量を抑制するように機能する。
【００６３】
かかるクリップＡの組み付けられる典型的な被取付け物Ｂに備えられる取付け部４０は比較的厚さを有する長方形状をなす取付け板部４１と該取付け板部４１における両側にある長さ方向縁に沿って該取付け板部４１に直交する向きに該取付け板部４１に一体に備えられている側板部４２、４２とを有し、この取付け板部４１に該取付け板部４１の面間を貫通する係止孔４３を備えた構成としてある。
【００６４】
なお、この被取付け物Ｂの取付け部４０は、この取付け部４０が前記クリップＡを備えて取付け対象体Ｃの取付け孔５１に組み入れられる際に該取付け孔５１に容易に差入れ得るように前記側板部４２の先端側を先窄まりの細幅部４２ａとしてあり、また、前記クリップＡの各係止保持片部２０間に該取付け部４０を容易に差し入れ得るように前記取付け板部４１における先端部を漸次肉薄の差込み突端部４１ａとしてある。
【００６５】
このように構成される被取付け物Ｂの取付け部４０に対して前記クリップＡを該クリップＡにおける前記係止保持片部２０間に該取付け部４０の取付け板部４１を受け入れるように前記側板部４２間に嵌め入れ、該クリップＡにおける前記挟持部２１で該取付け部４０の取付け板部４１を挟持し、且つ該クリップＡの係止部２２の係止爪２２ａを該取付け部４０の係止孔４３に係止させて前記取付け部４０から該クリップＡが抜け外れないように組み付ける。
【００６６】
また、この図示例に係る取付け部４０を構成する取付け板部４１は前記係止保持片部２０間に差入れられた際に該係止保持片部２０によって都合良く挟持され得る板厚を有し、しかも前記側板部４２間に前記クリップＡがほぼガタなく納め入れられる板幅を備えた構成としてある。
【００６７】
また、この取付け部４０に備えられる係止孔４３は前記係止部２２の係止爪２２ａが都合良く入り込んで、該係止爪２２ａにおける前記係止面２２ａ’が該係止孔４３における孔内面４３ａ、特に、該取付け部４０の先端側にある孔内面４３ａの面に係当される構成としてある。
【００６８】
次いで、このクリップＡを備えた被取付け物Ｂの組み付けられる取付け対象体Ｃは、典型的には、該クリップＡを備えた取付け部４０を受け入れる取付け孔５１を備えた構成としてあり、この図示例にあっては、面５０ａ、５０ｂ間に貫通する取付け孔５１を備えた板状体５０などとして用意される。
【００６９】
この取付け対象体Ｃは、前記クリップＡを備えて用意された被取付け物Ｂを該クリップＡと共に該クリップＡの先端側から該クリップＡの係合部１３を該取付け孔５１の孔縁に接しさせて前記脚片部１１を互いに窄まる向きに撓めるようにして該取付け孔５１に受け入れると共に、この取付け孔５１を前記係合部１３が通り抜けた状態で外向きに弾性復帰された該脚片部１１の前記嵌め合い部１４を都合良く該取付け孔５１内に受け入れ、前記係合部１３における傾斜係合面１３ａを該取付け孔５１の面５０ｂ側にある開口縁に接しさせ且つ面５０ａに前記鍔状部３０を弾発状態に密着させて前記被取付け物Ｂを備えたクリップＡを組み付け状態としてある。
【００７０】
即ち、前記被取付け物ＢにクリップＡを備えた状態で該クリップＡの先端側から該取付け対象体Ｃの取付け孔５１内に差入れ、この差入れられるクリップＡにおける前記嵌め合い部１４が該取付け対象体Ｃの取付け孔５１内に位置するように前記係合部１３の傾斜係合面１３ａを面５０ｂ側にある該取付け孔５１の孔縁に、また前記鍔状部３０を該取付け孔５１の他方側にある面５０ａに弾発状態に夫々係合させて該取付け対象体Ｃに前記クリップＡを備えた被取付け物Ｂを組み付ける。
【００７１】
かかる構成からなるクリップＡを用いて前記被取付け物Ｂを取付け対象体Ｃに組み付けることによって、被取付け物Ｂは該被取付け物Ｂの係止孔４３に対するクリップＡの係止部２２による係止を該取付け対象体Ｃの取付け孔５１内で受けて該取付け対象体Ｃに安定に保持される。また、この係止孔４３に係止される係止部２２が該取付け孔５１に沿うように備えられる脚片部１１から延びるように設けてあることから、該取付け部４０が係止部２２に対して該係止部２２部分を有する係止保持片部２０を撓みだすように作用した場合でも、前記脚片部１１が取付け孔５１面で支持されていることから該係止保持片部２０が必要以上に撓められず、係止部２２が安定に係止孔４３に係止状態とされる。
【００７２】
また、この取付け対象体Ｃに備えられている被取付け物Ｂを該取付け対象体Ｃから取り外す場合、この取付け対象体Ｃに備えられているクリップＡの係合部１３の傾斜係合面１３ａが該取付け対象体Ｃの取付け孔５１における孔縁によって前記夫々の脚片部１１の端部側１１ｂを互いに近付く側に撓め、この脚片部１１から直接延びるように備えられている前記係止保持片部２０における係止部２２の係止爪２２ａを該脚片部１１に比較的近い位置で前記係止孔４３の孔内面４３ａに向けて強く押しつけるように作用させることができ、該被取付け物ＢとクリップＡとを強固な係止状態として、該クリップＡと被取付け物Ｂとを一緒に前記取付け対象体Ｃから取り外すことができる。
【００７３】
また、前記脚片部１１が片部１１ａを有し、しかも、前記係止保持片部２０の挟持部２１とがほぼ平行状態とされていることから、前記取付け孔５１の孔縁に係合される前記係合部１３の傾斜係合面１３ａによる脚片部１１の端部側１１ｂの撓み出し作用を前記係止爪２２ａの前記係止孔４３の孔内面４３ａに向けた押しつけに都合良く作用させることができる。
【００７４】
【発明の効果】
この発明に係るクリップは、差入れ先端側で連続されいている脚片部を互いに向き合うように備えた脚部と、の夫々の脚片部から前記先端側に向けて延びるように該脚片部間に備えられている係止保持片部と、前記脚片部の夫々の端部側から互いに離れる向きに突き出すように備えられている鍔状部と、該鍔状部に向き合うように前記脚片部に備えられている係合部とを有し、前記係止保持片部間に被取付け物の取付け部を受け入れ且つ該取付け部の係止孔の孔内面に該係止保持片部の係止部を係止させて該被取付け物に対して抜け止め状態に備えられると共に取付け対象体の取付け孔周辺部の一方の面に前記鍔状部を係合し且つ他方の側に前記係合部を係合させるように該取付け孔に差入れ取りつけられるプラスチック製のクリップであって、
前記係止保持片部が前記脚片部の端部側から前記先端側に向けて延びるように備えられていると共に、前記係止保持片部の係止部が前記係合部よりも前記脚片部の端部側で前記係止孔の孔内面に係止可能としてあることから、
当該クリップが前記取付け対象体の取付け孔内において前記被取付け物の係止孔に係止部を係止した状態で該被取付け物を保持すると共に、前記被取付け物を前記取付け対象体から取り外す際に前記クリップを被取付け物と共に取付け対象体から取り外すことができる特長を有している。
【００７５】
また、前記取付け対象体に取り付けられる被取付け物が、この取付け対象体の取付け孔内において前記クリップの係止部に係止された状態で保持され、この被取付け物の抜き出し方向に向けた動きを該取付け孔内において前記係止部で阻止すると共に、抜き差し方向以外の向きに生ずる該取付対象体と被取付け物相互間の動きに際して該クリップの係止部における被取付け物の取付け部の傾き量が少なく、前記取付け対象体と被取付け物相互間における互いに傾く向きに向けた動きに対して該クリップの係止保持片部の変形量が少なく、このクリップの係止保持片部間に前記被取付け物の取付け部が安定に係止保持される特長を有している。
【００７６】
また、この被取付け物の抜き差し方向以外の向きに生ずる該取付対象体と被取付け物相互間の動きに際して該クリップの係止部にもたらされる力によって変形される前記係止保持片部の変形は、この係止保持片部に連続されている前記脚片部が前記取付け孔の内面によって該変形を防ぐ向きに支持されていることから比較的変形し難く、前記取付け対象体と被取付け物相互間における互いに傾く向きに向けた動きに対して該クリップの係止保持片部の変形量を少なくし、このクリップの係止保持片部間に前記被取付け物の取付け部が安定に係止保持される特長を有している。
【００７７】
また、この被取付け物を取付け対象体から引き抜く向きに向けて動かした際に、前記取付け対象体における取付け孔の孔縁によって互いに近づく向きに撓められる前記脚部の脚片部に連続されている前記係止保持片部が該脚片部の撓みに相応して前記取付け部の係止孔内に向けて移動されて該係止孔の孔内面に密着する向きの力を受けることから該クリップが前記取付け部に確実に保持された状態で該被取付け物と共に前記取付け対象体から取り外し得る特長を有している。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention, the object to be attached is securely attached to the object to be attached, and when the object to be attached is detached from the object to be attached, it can be easily removed from the object to be attached and recovered together with the object to be attached. Related to the provision of clips.
[0002]
[Prior art]
There are various types of clips that are used as an assembling means for assembling an interior part to an automobile or the like, and that can be detached from an attachment object together with the interior part when the interior part is removed.
[0003]
12 and 13 show such a conventional clip.
The clip 100 shown in FIG. 12 is attached to the rib 111 of the attachment object 110, and the attachment object 110 is attached to the attachment plate 120 using the clip 100.

[0004]
Then, the rib 111 of the attachment object 110 is pushed between the leg pieces 101 of the clip 100 between the engaging protrusions 103 b of the holding part 103 on the distal end side of the leg piece 101, The tip of the rib 111 is inserted between the surfaces 103a, and the engaging protrusion 103b is engaged with the engaging hole 111a provided in the rib 111 so that the clip 100 is provided on the attachment object 110. This is inserted into the mounting hole 121 of the mounting plate 120 from the front end side of the clip 100, the flange portion 102 of the clip 100 is placed on one side of the mounting hole 121, and the shoulder portion 101a is mounted on the mounting hole 121. The attachment object 110 is assembled to the attachment plate 120 by engaging with the other side of 121.
[0005]
Further, in the clip 200 shown in FIG. 13, the locking protrusion 203 b of the retaining piece 203 of the clip 200 is locked in the engaging hole 211 a of the locking piece 211 provided in the attachment object 210 as described above. The clip 200 is assembled to the attachment object 210, and the clip 200 provided in the attachment object 210 is inserted into an attachment hole 221 provided in the attachment plate 220 so that the attachment object 210 is attached to the attachment plate 220. The clip 200 has a pair of leg pieces 201 continuous with a U-shaped portion 201a on the distal end side, and has an outward flange portion 202 on each end portion side. The leg pieces 201 are once bent from the U-shaped portion 201a toward the flange portion 202 side so as to be separated from each other, and then bent toward the side approaching each other. A bent portion 201b, and a fitting portion 201c parallel to each other from the bent portion 201b toward the flange portion 202, and between the bent pieces inside the bent portion 201b. When protruding from one piece 201b ′ of the bent portion 201b to the leg piece 201, the piece 203a ′ and a piece bent from the piece 203a ′ to the piece 201b ″ of the other bent portion 201b again. The retaining piece 203 is provided with a portion 203a ″, and the retaining projection 203b is formed at the protruding end of the retaining piece 203 that is formed in a diamond shape with the bent portion 201b.
[0006]
Then, the locking piece 211 of the attachment 210 is received between the retaining pieces 203 and the locking projection 203b is locked in the engagement hole 211a of the locking piece 211 to attach the clip 200 to the attachment. The clip 200 and the attachment object 210 are inserted into the attachment hole 221 of the attachment plate 220 from the front end side of the clip 200, and the flange portion 202 of the clip 200 and the piece portion 201b of the bent portion 201b " The attachment object 210 is attached to the attachment plate 220 so as to sandwich the attachment plate 220 therebetween.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the clip 100 shown in FIG. 12 is configured such that the clamping portion 103 of the rib 111 of the attachment object 110 protrudes from the inner side of the distal end side of the clip 100, and the attachment object 110 including the clip 100 is the above-described attachment object 110. When the clip 100 is removed from the mounting hole 121 of the mounting plate 120, the clip 100 is pulled in the direction in which the engaging protrusion 103 b of the clip 100 is extracted from the mounting hole 121 by the hole surface of the engaging hole 111 a of the rib 111. By pulling the clip 100 by the rib 111, the shoulder portion 101a of the clip 100 is brought into contact with the leg piece 101 along the hole edge of the attachment hole 121, and the attachment hole 121 is brought into contact with each other. The force required to bend the shoulder portion 101a by the hole edge is the engagement hole 111a. When the engagement force of the engagement protrusion 103b is exceeded, the rib 111 of the attachment object 110 disengages from the engagement protrusion 103b of the clip 100, leaving the clip 100 in the attachment hole 121. In this state, there is a problem that the attachment object 110 is detached from the attachment plate 120.
[0008]
In particular, in the clip 100 shown in FIG. 12, the engaging protrusion 103 b of the clamping portion 103 is provided on the distal end side of the clip 100, and the rib 111 is on the side to be pulled out from the mounting hole 121. When pulled, the engaging protrusion 103 is deformed to the side away from each other so as to disengage the rib 111 from the engaging hole 111a.
[0009]
Further, in the clip 200 shown in FIG. 13, the retaining piece 203 having the locking projection 203 b engaged with the engaging hole 211 a of the locking piece 211 has the “cross-shaped” bent portion 201 b. The leg piece 201 is provided in a protruding state from the leg piece 201 portion at a position distant from the fitting part 201 c on the end side of the leg piece 201, and the leg pieces 201 at substantially the center in the length direction of the clip 200 are mutually connected. Has a relatively long shape protruding so as to have a locking projection 203b locked to the locking piece 211 at a relatively distant position, and the mounting object 210 is attached to the mounting piece 210. It is difficult to maintain the plate 220 in a stable assembled state, and it is difficult to reliably remove the clip 200 from the attachment plate 220 together with the attachment object 210.
