Description

  The present invention relates to a clip used when a member to be attached such as a draining member is attached to a structure.

For example, as a method for constructing a draining structure in a part of a house, a method as in Patent Document 1 below has been conventionally known. In this case, a barrel edge is attached to an existing wall, a starter is arranged along the lower edge of the barrel edge, and a nail is driven in that state to fix the starter. Under the circumstances, the draining member is fixed by pushing the tip of the draining member into the engaging portion formed in a bag shape in the starter and locking it.
JP-A-9-242199

  In the fixing structure as described above, in order to attach the draining member in the normal posture, the starter must first be attached in the normal posture and position. However, since the star is fixed directly to the trunk edge by nailing, the operator must hold the entire starter by hand until the nailing is performed, and the work becomes complicated. There is a problem. In addition, the tip of the draining member is inserted into the locking portion, that is, the portion extending in a groove shape along the longitudinal direction, and is locked. However, it is never easy to insert the entire edge accurately. Therefore, the installation of the draining member itself is also troublesome, making the entire construction difficult.

  This invention is completed based on the above situations, Comprising: It is providing the clip which can perform the construction work of a draining member easily.

As a means for achieving the above object, the invention of claim 1 is characterized in that a part of the structure is attached to an opening formed along the longitudinal direction so as to be drainable, and the inside and outside of the structure are communicated and closed. A clip for attaching a draining member in which a possible vent hole is formed along the longitudinal direction of the opening to the structure, and can be locked to a structure arranged along the opening. A first locking portion and a second locking portion that can be locked to the draining member, and the first locking portion includes a temporary locking piece that can be elastically locked to the structure. On the other hand, the second locking portion is formed such that an insertion port that can receive the frame-shaped opening edge portion of the vent hole is expandable, and the frame-shaped opening edge is formed in the insertion port. The claw that can be elastically locked to the clip and holds the entire clip to the draining member in a state of being prevented from coming off can be bent. Are formed on, also, the second locking portion has an abutting portion which abuts the one side of the frame-like opening edge portion, and this from the side edge of the contact portion to the side opposite to the contact portion A sandwiching piece that is folded back in a cantilevered manner and that holds the insertion port is provided between the abutment portion, and the abutment portion is provided on an outer surface at both widthwise ends of the folded base portion of the sandwiching piece. A pair of reinforcing overhang portions are formed so as to extend in the width direction so as to be connected to the side edges, and can be fitted into the vent hole with almost no gap .

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, the structure is a field edge, and a stepped portion that can be locked with an end of another field edge is formed along the longitudinal direction on the side surface. On the other hand, the front end portion of the temporary fixing piece is characterized in that a hooking portion is formed that elastically engages with the stepped portion to prevent the entire clip from coming off the edge. To do.

A third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a connector described in claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the draining member while having a substrate portion formed in a plate shape having the vent, said the clamping pieces that folded A deformation preventing rib for holding the extending direction of the clamping piece is formed over a range from the base to the tip.

<Invention of Claim 1>
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the work of attaching the clip to the attached member is performed prior to or after the attachment to the structure. In any case, if the frame-shaped opening edge of the vent on the draining member side is inserted into the insertion port of the second locking portion, the insertion port expands and deforms due to the bending deformation of the claw portion, The claw portion is elastically locked to the frame-shaped opening edge. As a result, the clip is held in a state where it is prevented from coming off from the draining member. On the other hand, since the first locking portion elastically locks the temporary fixing piece with respect to the structure, the clip (a draining member in the case where the attached member is held by the clip) is also used in the subsequent final fixing operation. This does not have to be held by the operator.
Also, by extending the overhanging portion in the width direction to serve as a reinforcement for the sandwiching piece, the deformation of the sandwiching piece is restricted, and the clip is fitted to the vent hole with almost no gap. Can be avoided.

  In addition, when mounting to the draining member, since it is only necessary to use an elastic lock using a partial portion called a vent, the workability is excellent.

<Invention of Claim 2>
According to the invention of claim 2, in a state where the clip is temporarily fixed to the field edge, the hooking part of the temporarily fixing piece is elastically locked to the step part of the field edge, whereby the clip is connected to the field edge. On the other hand, it is prevented from coming off. Further, the step portion is an existing structure necessary for joining with other field edges, and the clip can be surely prevented from coming off by using such an existing step portion.

<Invention of Claim 3>
According to the invention of claim 3, the opening height of the insertion port can be maintained at a constant size by the deformation preventing rib provided on the holding piece. For example, although there is a concern that the tip of the holding piece approaches the contact portion side due to thermal contraction after the clip is formed, it is possible to avoid such deformation by the deformation preventing rib. Therefore, the insertion port can smoothly receive the opening edge portion of the vent and contribute to improvement in workability.

<Embodiment 1>
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 1, the eaves ceiling portion of the house is shown. In the figure, 1 is a side wall, 2 is an eaves, and 3 is a field edge that forms a housing structure together with these. In addition, the lower half of one side of the field edge 3 is cut off along the length direction to form a stepped portion 4, in which the end of another field edge 6 in which the stepped portion 5 is formed in the same manner. It is faced. Further, a gap is retained along the longitudinal direction between the field edge 3 and the side wall 1, and serves as an opening 7 that communicates the inside and outside of the ceiling. A draining member 8 is attached to the opening 7 so that rainwater or the like does not enter the ceiling through the opening 7.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the draining member 8 includes a substrate portion 9 having a flat plate shape, and upper and lower seal flap portions 10 and 11 projecting from one side edge portion of the substrate portion 9 along the longitudinal direction. . The substrate portion 9 is formed with a plurality of vent holes 12 each formed in a rectangular shape penetrating at regular intervals along the longitudinal direction. Therefore, when these vent holes 12 are opened, the substrate portion 9 has a lattice frame shape, and a frame-shaped opening edge portion 14 for locking a clip 13 described later is formed between the adjacent vent holes 12. The

  Further, although not shown in detail, the substrate portion 9 is formed by insert molding in which the core material is a hard resin material and the surface layer portion is a soft resin material. The upper and lower seal flap portions 10 and 11 are continuous from the surface layer portion of the substrate portion 9, that is, the soft resin portion, and the upper seal flap portion 10 extends toward the side wall 1, and the entire edge of the front end edge is in close contact with the side wall 1. It is possible. On the other hand, the lower seal flap portion 11 always hangs downward under its own weight in a curved state, and opens each vent 12 described above. However, when a wind blown up with rain is received, it is blown up toward the lower surface of the substrate portion 9 so that rainwater does not enter the ceiling through each vent 12 (not necessarily the substrate). It is not necessary to lift up to a height position in close contact with the lower surface of the portion 9, as long as there is a slight gap between the substrate portion 9 and the substrate portion 9. In the substrate portion 9, a seal edge 15 is formed on the edge opposite to the upper and lower flap portions 10, 11, and the field edge 3 and the entire edge are in close contact with each other, so that the same side sealability is obtained. It is secured.

  Next, the clip 13 for mounting the draining member 8 on the field edge 3 will be described. The clip 13 is integrally formed of a synthetic resin material. The clip 13 includes a first locking portion 16 for mounting on the field edge 3 side and a second locking portion 17 for mounting on the draining member 8 side. The first locking portion 16 has a main plate 18 having a strip shape with a length dimension capable of crossing the upper surface of the field edge 3 in the width direction, and is bent downward from one end edge of the main locking plate 19. Is drooping. As shown in FIG. 6, the temporary fastening piece 19 is slightly inwardly inclined as shown in FIG. 6, and the hooking portion 20 is inwardly substantially perpendicular to the lower end edge. It is bent. Further, the other end edge of the main plate 18 is also bent downward and substantially at a right angle to form a bent piece 21, and the second locking portion 17 is continuous with the lower end edge thereof.

  A mounting hole 22 for nailing is provided in the center of the temporary fixing piece 19 to permanently fix the clip 13 to the field edge 3. Until the driving of the nail N is completed, the clip 13 is held in a temporarily fixed state with respect to the field edge 3 as follows. That is, when the clip 13 is temporarily fixed to the field edge 3, the clip 13 brings the main plate 18 into contact with the upper surface of the field edge 3. It elastically contacts the side surface and elastically holds the upper part of the field edge 3 between the bent piece 21. At the same time, the hook portion 20 is locked to the step portion 4 of the field edge 3 so that the clip 13 is temporarily held in a state in which the field edge 3 is prevented from being pulled upward.

  The second locking portion 17 has a contact plate 23 (contact portion) that can be placed on the upper surface of the substrate portion 9 of the draining member 8 and has a larger square shape than the vent hole 12. Reinforcing frame edges 24 are erected upward on the three edges excluding the connection portion with the bent piece 21 at the periphery of the contact plate 23. Further, between the reinforcing frame edges 24 (reinforcing frame edges 24 facing along the longitudinal direction of the draining member 8) in the contact plate 23, a lightening hole 25 is formed so as to penetrate therethrough. From one side (the right side in FIG. 3) of the opening edge of the lightening hole 25 facing the longitudinal direction of the draining member 8, a claw portion 26 for engaging with the draining member 8 is directed to the other side. And bends in the vertical direction. The claw portion 26 extends in parallel so as to follow the opening surface of the lightening hole 25, but an inclined surface 27 is formed on the lower surface of the tip portion so as to gradually increase the thickness toward the tip edge. The tip of the portion 26 is formed so as to protrude from the lower surface of the contact plate 23.

  In addition, a clamping piece 28 is formed in an L-shaped and folded shape from the outer surface opposite to where the claw portion 26 is formed at the reinforcing frame edge 24 of the contact plate 23 toward the claw portion 26 side. ing. The sandwiching piece 28 extends horizontally and cantilevered so as to be substantially parallel to the lower surface of the contact plate 23. And the front-end | tip part of the clamping piece 28 is located in the downward direction of the nail | claw part 26, and the insertion port 29 which can be expanded is held between the clamping piece 28 and the claw part 26 by this. The A guide surface 30 is formed on the inner surface of the distal end portion of the clamping piece 28 so as to rise upward toward the depth of the insertion port 29. In this embodiment, the gradient of the guide surface 30 is set so as to be substantially the same as that of the inclined surface 27 of the claw portion 26, and the end of the guide surface 30 and the tip of the claw portion 26 (tip of the inclined surface 27) are substantially the same. It is formed to be aligned. Thus, when the frame-shaped opening edge portion 14 of the draining member 8 is inserted into the insertion port 29, the gap between the claw portion 26 and the holding piece 28 is widened, and the claw portion 26 is restored when it passes through the claw portion 26. Thus, the frame-shaped opening edge portion 14 is locked to the locking end surface of the claw portion 26, and the clip 13 is prevented from coming off from the draining member 8. In this embodiment, the distance between the locking end surface of the claw portion 26 and the inner surface of the folded portion of the holding piece 28 is set to be approximately equal to the width dimension of the frame-shaped opening edge portion 14 (see FIG. 3). As a result, the clip 13 can be locked to the frame-shaped opening edge 14 without rattling in the length direction.

  Further, on the outer surface of the sandwiching piece 28, a deformation preventing rib 31 for the sandwiching piece 28 is formed to project at the center in the width direction. The deformation prevention rib 31 plays a role of maintaining the height of the entrance portion of the insertion port 29 at a constant interval, and extends from the vertical piece portion 28 a to the horizontal piece portion 28 b of the sandwiching piece 28, that is, the reinforcement frame edge 24. It is formed over the entire length range from the upper end to the tip of the clamping piece 28. Further, a pair of projecting portions 32 are provided on the outer surfaces of both ends in the width direction of the vertical piece portion 28a with the deformation preventing ribs 31 interposed therebetween. Both overhang portions 32 are for avoiding deformation of the clamping piece 28 together with the deformation prevention rib 31 (deformation due to heat shrinkage after molding, etc.), and project outward with substantially the same thickness as the deformation prevention rib 31. , Projecting outward in the width direction. In the present embodiment, the dimension between the outer ends (T dimension shown in FIG. 6) is set to be approximately equal to or slightly narrower than the opening width of the vent 12 (S dimension shown in FIG. 4). . As a result, when the clip 13 is locked to the draining member 8, the outer end surface of the overhanging portion 32 abuts against the opening edge of the vent 12, so that the clip 13 is rattled against the draining member 8 in the width direction. It is held in the state. Note that the lower end corner portion of the overhang portion 32 is chamfered 33 so that the fitting operation to the vent hole 12 can be performed smoothly.

  Next, the effect of this embodiment comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated concretely. First, the work of attaching the clip 13 to the draining member 8 is performed. In that case, as shown in FIG. 4, the entire clip 13 is positioned above the substrate portion of the draining member 8, and the holding piece 28 is inserted by selecting an appropriate vent 12, and the contact plate 23 is inserted into the draining member 8. Is placed on the substrate part 9 of FIG. In the fitting into the vent hole 12, since the chamfer 33 is formed at the lower end portions of the two overhanging portions 32, the fitting operation is smoothly performed. When the sandwiching piece 28 is thus fitted into the vent hole 12, the entrance side of the insertion port 29 faces the frame-like opening edge 14. Thereafter, when the entire clip 13 is moved along the longitudinal direction of the draining member 8, the frame-shaped opening edge portion 14 is slidably brought into contact with the inclined surface 27 of the claw portion 26 or the guide surface 30 of the holding piece 28 and is held between the claw portion 26. The space between the pieces 28 is forcibly expanded and deformed. Then, when the frame-shaped opening edge 14 passes the tip of the claw part 26, the claw part 26 is elastically restored, so that the frame-shaped opening edge part 14 is locked to the claw part 26 and is in a retaining state. At this time, since the frame-shaped opening edge 14 is held between the end face of the claw 26 and the vertical piece of the holding piece 28, the clip 13 is held in a state of being positioned in the longitudinal direction with respect to the draining member 8. At the same time, the outer end surfaces of the two overhanging portions 32 abut against the opening edge of the vent hole 12, so that the clip 13 is held without rattling in the width direction.

  As described above, an appropriate number of clips 13 are attached to the draining member 8, and then the attachment work to the field edge 3 is performed. First, the draining member 8 is held in a state along the longitudinal direction above the opening 7 between the field edge 3 and the side wall 1 and is lowered straight as it is. Then, until the main plate 18 is lowered to a position where it abuts on the upper surface of the field edge 3, the temporary fastening piece 19 is expanded and deformed while the sliding part 20 is in sliding contact with the side surface of the field edge 3. When it reaches the step portion 4, it returns and the hook portion 20 is elastically locked to the step portion 4, and at the same time, the field edge 3 is elastically clamped between the temporary fixing piece 19 and the bent piece 21. As a result, the clip 13, that is, the draining member 8 is temporarily held in a state in which the clip 13, that is, the draining member 8 is retained by the hook portion 20 with the elastic force of the clip 13. Accordingly, when nailing the field edge 3 through the mounting hole 22, the operator does not need to hold the clip 13 by hand, and the nailing operation can be easily performed.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the work of attaching the clip 13 to the draining member 8 is only to insert the frame-shaped opening edge 14 into the insertion port 29, and the clip 13 is attached to the field edge 3. Even during the work to be performed, by simply fitting the first locking portion 16 to the upper surface portion of the field edge 3, elastic locking by the temporary fixing piece 19 is performed, and the temporary locking state can be obtained. Therefore, since it is not necessary to hold the clip 13 with the draining member 8 attached by hand at the time of final fastening (nail driving), the final fastening operation can be easily performed.

  Further, since the clip 13 is held with respect to the draining member 8 in both the longitudinal direction and the width direction without rattling, the clip 13 is mounted with the draining member 8 properly positioned. Therefore, there is also an advantage that the draining member 8 can drain the field edge 3 and the side wall 1 reliably.

  Further, the sandwiching piece 28 is provided with a deformation preventing rib 31 to prevent deformation of the sandwiching piece 28 so that the opening height of the insertion port 29 does not fluctuate under the influence of heat shrinkage after molding. Smoothing of the locking operation to the portion 14 is achieved. Furthermore, it has already been described that the overhanging portion 32 for more reliably preventing such deformation contributes to the positional displacement of the clip 13 in the width direction.
