In the mounting member 30, the hooking portion 56 and the holding portion 58 project outward from the mounting piece 52, but the mounting member 30 passes through an insertion portion 46 provided between the holding step portions 44 protruding inward of the holding hole 40. It can be smoothly inserted into the holding hole 44. Then, the retaining portion 72 of the holding member 32 is caught on the back surface of the retaining receiving portion 48 of the base member 28, and the covering portion 64 of the holding member 32 covers the front side of the tubular main body 38 to close the holding hole 44. The mounting member 30 and the holding member 32 are assembled to the member 28 (see FIGS. 9 (c) and 10 (c)).

In the mounting member 30, the flange portion 54 is caught by the holding step portion 44 of the base member 28, and the tip end portion of the holding portion 58 is caught by the receiving wall portion 50 of the base member 28, so that the movement to the back side is restricted (FIG. 9). See (c)). Further, the attachment member 30 is restricted from moving to the front side with respect to the holding member 32 under the engagement between the retaining portion 72 and the retaining receiving portion 48 (see FIG. 10 (c)). Further, the mounting member 30 is also prevented from moving to the front side with respect to the holding member 32 by the flange portion 54 hitting the support step portion 62a of the holding member 32 assembled to the base member 28. In the gap between the holding step portion 44 and the support step portion 62a, the flange portion 54 arranged in the gap may be displaced at least in the front and back directions by the difference dimension between the maximum value and the minimum value of the plate thickness of the corresponding panel 10. A margin is set. As a result, the relative displacement of the mounting member 30 with respect to the base member 28 in the front-back direction is allowed according to the plate thickness of the panel 10. It is also possible to put the retaining portion 72 of the holding member 32 against the surface of the retaining receiving portion 48, and hold the mounting member 30 and the holding member 32 in a temporarily fixed state in which the mounting member 30 and the holding member 32 are halfway inserted into the holding hole 44.

Next, as shown in FIG. 9C, the mounting device 24 configured by assembling the base member 28, the mounting member 30, and the holding member 32 is mounted on the panel 10. Specifically, when the connecting ends of both mounting pieces 52 and 52 in the mounting member 30 are inserted into the mounting hole 12, the hooking portion 56 provided on the mounting piece 52 hits the opening edge of the mounting hole 12 and tilts itself. Guided and displaced inward. When the mounting member 30 is inserted until the hooking portion 56 passes through the mounting hole 12, the displaced hooking portion 56 is elastically restored, and the tip of the hooking portion 56 is relative to the back opening edge of the mounting hole 12. At the same time, the tip end portion of the holding portion 58 faces the receiving surface 50a of the receiving wall portion 50 of the base member 28. The mounting device 24 is mounted on the panel 10 by sandwiching the panel 10 and the receiving wall portion 50 of the base member 28 abutting against the panel 10 between the tip of the hooking portion 56 and the tip of the holding portion 58. (See FIGS. 8 and 11).

The mounting device 24 is assembled so that the mounting member 30 can change its position relative to the base member 28 and the holding member 32 in the front and back directions according to the change in the plate thickness of the panel 10. As shown by the solid lines in FIGS. 8A and 11, when the panel 10 has the thinnest first plate thickness, the mounting device 24 is allowed to change its position to the front side with respect to the base member 28 and the holding member 32. Therefore, the tip of the hooking portion 56 can be arranged with a predetermined clearance with respect to the back surface of the panel 10. Then, the mounting device 24 sandwiches the panel 10 and the receiving wall portion 50 of the base member 28 between the tip of the hooking portion 56 and the tip of the holding portion 58 so as not to rattle the panel 10. Can be firmly attached. As shown in the two-dot chain line of FIGS. 8 (b) and 11, when the panel 10 has the thickest second plate thickness, the mounting device 24 has the first plate thickness with respect to the base member 28 and the holding member 32. Even if the panel 10 becomes thicker, the tip of the hooking portion 56 can be arranged with a predetermined clearance with respect to the back surface of the panel 10 because the position can be changed to the back side more than usual. Then, the mounting device 24 sandwiches the panel 10 and the receiving wall portion 50 of the base member 28 between the tip of the hooking portion 56 and the tip of the holding portion 58 so as not to rattle the panel 10. Can be firmly attached. In addition, "the position can be changed relative to the front and back directions" means that the position has changed when compared with the case where the plate thickness of the panel 10 is different. When the mounting device 24 is mounted on the panel 10, there is no relative positional change between the mounting member 30, the base member 28, and the holding member 32. As described above, the mounting device 24 does not need to prepare a plurality of types of parts according to the plate thickness of the panel 10, and uses the common base member 28, mounting member 30, and holding member 32 from the first plate thickness. It can be firmly attached to the panel 10 in the range of the second plate thickness.

The mounting device 24 guides the tip of the holding portion 58 by the inclination of the receiving surface 50a of the receiving wall portion 50, and corresponds to the degree of interference between the tip portion of the holding portion 58 and the receiving wall portion 50 due to the plate thickness of the panel 10. The sandwiching portion 58 can be displaced. As a result, even if the plate thickness of the panel 10 changes, the panel 10 and the receiving wall portion 50 can be sandwiched between the tip of the hooking portion 56 and the tip of the holding portion 58, and the panel 10 of the mounting member 30 can be sandwiched. It is possible to avoid poor engagement with the mounting device 24 and improve the load capacity of the mounting device 24. Further, the mounting device 24 can prevent rattling due to a gap between the mounting device 24 and the panel 10, and can prevent the generation of abnormal noise when the vehicle is running.

The mounting member 30 and the holding member 32 are basically in a state where the tip portion of the engaging portion 60 extending inward from the front side to the back side is engaged with the engaging receiving portion 70 provided on the holding member 32. Can be combined with. Since the mounting member 30 has a relationship in which the engaging portion 60 is abutted against the bottom of the engaging receiving portion 70, a relative positional change toward the back side with respect to the holding member 32 is restricted. As described above, the mounting member 30 is hard to be disengaged from the holding member 32 due to the engagement between the engaging portion 60 and the engaging receiving portion 70. In other words, when the mounting device 24 is mounted on the panel 10, the holding member 32 can be made difficult to disengage from the mounting member 30 due to the engagement between the engaging portion 60 and the engaging receiving portion 70. The engagement relationship between the engaging portion 60 and the engaging receiving portion 70 is such that the engaging portion 60 is disengaged from the engaging receiving portion 70 when the relative position of the mounting member 30 with respect to the holding member 32 changes toward the front side. Become. Therefore, the engaging portion 60 and the engaging receiving portion 70 do not act to be fixed, and the mounting member 30 is allowed to change its position toward the front side with respect to the holding member 32 according to the change in the plate thickness of the panel 10. To. As described above, the mounting device 24 holds the mounting member 30 and the holding member 32 so as not to be separated from each other due to the relationship between the engaging portion 60 and the engaging receiving portion 70, and depends on the plate thickness of the panel 10. It is possible to achieve both the tolerance of the relative position change between the mounting member 30 and the holding member 32.

In the mounting device 24, the inclination α of the receiving surface 50a of the receiving wall portion 50 is set to be larger than the inclination γ of the engaging portion 60. As a result, when the tip portion of the holding portion 58 interferes with the receiving surface 50a, the engaging portion 60 can be easily deformed so as to bend, and the mounting member 30 and the holding member according to the plate thickness of the panel 10 can be easily deformed. The relative position change with 32 can be smoothly generated. Further, in the mounting device 24, the inclination β of the hooking portion 56 is set to be smaller than the tilt γ of the engaging portion 60, so that the load when the hooking portion 56 is deformed and passed through the mounting hole 12 is applied. It can be suppressed.

The mounting member 30 and the holding member 32 can be easily assembled by inserting the insertion portion 62 from the front side between the upper and lower mounting pieces 52 and 52. At this time, the engaging portion 60 and the engaging receiving portion 70 can be easily assembled. It can be positioned by engaging with. In the holding hole 40 of the base member 28, a flange portion 54 provided at the open end of the mounting member 30 and a holding step portion 44 to be hooked are formed so as to project inward. Since the holding hole 40 is provided with a hooking portion 56 protruding outward from the mounting piece 52 and an insertion portion 46 that opens in accordance with the holding portion 58, the hooking portion 56 and the holding portion 58 can be passed through the insertion portion 46. It can be moved from the front side to the back side. In this way, the mounting device 24 can be inserted into the holding hole 40 of the base member 28 in a state where the mounting member 30 is assembled to the holding member 32, and the mounting member 30 and the holding member 32 can be mounted together on the base member 28. .. Further, the mounting member 30 and the holding member 32 can be mounted on the base member 28 from the same direction. When the metal mounting member 30 is directly pressed with a finger or the like, the assembly workability is poor due to its hardness. According to the mounting device 24, the holding member 32 can be pushed to insert the metal mounting member 30 assembled to the holding member 32 into the holding hole of the base member 28, so that the assembling workability can be improved. As described above, according to the above-described configuration, the assembling work of the mounting device 24 can be made easier.
