Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a clip used for fixing a mounting member such as a decorative molding of an automobile to a predetermined panel.

``Prior art'' As an example of a conventional clip of this type,
- There is one shown in Publication No. 136477.

As shown in Fig. 4, the clip consists of two parts, a main body 1 and a leg 2, both of which are integrally molded from synthetic resin.The main body 1 has a cavity 3 into which the leg 2 is inserted.
A flange portion 4 is formed at the opening edge of the cavity 3, and a shoulder portion 5 is formed at a predetermined location on the outer wall surface to cooperate with the flange portion 4 to clamp the panel hole edge, The other leg body 2 is integrally provided with an enlarged head part 6 on the upper part, and in actual use, the flange part 4 and shoulder part 5 are inserted into a locking hole 7 drilled in the panel P as shown in the figure. After attaching the main body 1 through the main body 1, align the hollow space 3 of the main body 1 with the through hole 8 of the molding M, which is a mounting member, and insert the leg body 2 into the hollow space 3 of the main body 1. The molding M is fixed to the panel P by the enlarged head 6 of the leg 2 by locking the tip 2a of the molding M to the panel P by locking the tip 2a with the locking part 3a in the space 3.

"Problems to be Solved by the Invention" However, in the case of conventional clips, even if the leg body 2 is securely held within the main body 1 by engaging the tip end 2a with the locking part 3a, , the mall M itself is in a free relationship with leg body 2
Since the structure is such that only the enlarged head 6 is fixed to the panel P, the fixed state is naturally weak and unstable, causing the problem that the molding M may unintentionally wobble. .

In addition, in the case of conventionally obtaining a fixed state using a clip, it is necessary to align the through hole 8 of the molding M with the cavity 3 of the main body 1 in the pre-process of inserting the leg 2 into the cavity 3 of the main body 1. Therefore, the larger the number of through holes 8, the more complicated the work becomes.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' Therefore, the present invention was developed to effectively solve the problems of the conventional clips. The main body is based on a fixing clip consisting of a main body that is attached to a locking hole in a panel through a shoulder formed on an outer wall surface, and legs that are inserted into a cavity in the main body and fix the mounting member to the panel. A plurality of small protrusions are provided at regular intervals on the surface of the flange part, and a flange part is provided on the upper part of the other leg with a protrusion that is integrally formed on the lower surface to fit between the arbitrary small protrusions, and the flange part A male screw part is provided on the top surface of the part to be screwed into the screw hole of the mounting member, and the leg body which is screwed to the mounting member through the male thread part is inserted into the protrusion between the small protrusions, and the main body We adopted a configuration in which it is inserted into the blank space.

``Operation'' According to the present invention, since the mounting member and the leg body are integrated by screwing, not only can the mounting member be securely fixed to the panel without wobbling, but also the main body flange Since the protrusions on the leg flange side fit between the small protrusions on the body side, even if rotational pressure is applied to the leg body in the body cavity,
Since the insertion and holding position of the legs is always locked, there is no fear that the threaded connection between the legs and the mounting member will loosen.

``Embodiment'' The present invention will be described in detail based on an illustrative embodiment.The clip according to the embodiment is also composed of two parts, a main body 11 and a leg body 12 made of synthetic resin.
The main body 11 has a cavity 1 into which the legs 12 are inserted.
3, a flange portion 14 is formed on the opening edge of the cavity 13, and a shoulder portion 15 is formed at a predetermined location on the outer wall surface to cooperate with the flange portion 14 to clamp the panel hole edge. , which is similar to the conventional clip, is characterized by the following configuration.

That is, on the main body 11 side, a cavity 13 into which the leg body 12 is inserted is formed into a long hole shape that causes play in the longitudinal direction of the molding M, and a flange portion formed at the opening edge of the cavity 13 is formed. 14 has a similar shape, and a small protrusion 17 is formed on the surface of the flange portion 14.
A plurality of groups are provided on both sides of the elongated cavity 13.

On the other hand, the leg body 12 side is provided with a thin flange part 19 formed on its upper part by forming a plurality of protrusions 18 on a radial line of the lower surface, which engages between the arbitrary small protrusions 17, 17 of the flange part 14. At the same time, a male screw portion 20 is integrally provided on the upper surface of the thin flange portion 19 to be screwed into a screw hole previously formed on the back surface of the molding M.

Therefore, when fixing the molding M to the panel P using a clip with such a configuration, first the clip shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG.
While attaching the main body 11 via the shoulder portion 15,
The male screw portion 20 is screwed into the screw hole 21 previously formed on the back surface of the molding M, and the leg body 12 and the molding M are screwed together.
After integrating, when the leg body 12 screwed onto the molding M is inserted into the cavity 13 of the main body 11 as shown in FIG. When engaged, the legs 12 are securely inserted and held in the main body 11, so that the molding M is fixed to the panel P.

In particular, in such a fixed state, the molding M is screwed into one body with the leg 12, so as long as the leg 12 is securely held against the main body 11, it is firmly fixed. There is no need to worry about it rattling.

Moreover, the leg body 12 for the empty space 13 of the main body 11
In the holding state, the plurality of protrusions 18 formed on the lower surface of the thin-walled flange 19 of the leg body 12, as shown in FIG.
Any small protrusion 17,1 provided on the surface of 4
7, and the insertion and holding posture is locked, so even if unexpected vibrations or rotational pressure are applied, the legs 12 will not move or rotate within the space 13. Completely prevented. As a result, there is no fear that the threaded engagement between the male screw portion 20 of the leg body 12 and the screw hole 21 of the molding M will loosen inadvertently, so that the above-mentioned reliable fixed state is always guaranteed.

Furthermore, since the cavity 13 of the main body 11 is formed in the shape of a long hole that causes play in the longitudinal direction of the molding M, it is assumed that there is a gap between the locking hole 7 of the panel P and the screw hole 21 of the molding M. Even if a dimensional error occurs in the long hole, the dimensional error can be easily absorbed within the range of the elongated hole. It goes without saying that no matter where the leg 12 is inserted into the elongated space 13, the protrusion 18 will fit between the small projections 17, 17 corresponding to the insertion location.

Further, in the above embodiment, the leg body 12 is molded M in advance.
and screw the screwed leg body 12 into the space 1 of the main body 11.
3, but if the molding M itself is not long and small, insert the legs 12 into the spaces 13 of the main body 11 in advance, and then tighten the male screws of the legs 12. Even if the molding M is screwed into the part 20,
The molding M can be fixed to the panel P.

``Effect of the invention'' As described above, the present invention forms a plurality of small protrusions at regular intervals on the surface of the flange part of the main body, and a protrusion that engages between the small protrusions on the upper part of the other leg body on the lower surface. The device is characterized by having a flange formed in the shape of a cylindrical shape, and a male screw portion screwed into the screw hole of the mounting member on the upper surface of the flange. Since the mounting member and the leg body can be integrated, the fixing state of the mounting member to the panel is extremely stable, and there is no need to worry about the mounting member inadvertently shaking as in the conventional case. Moreover, in such a fixed state, the protrusion on the leg flange side is always engaged between the small protrusions on the main body flange side, and the insertion and holding posture of the leg body is always locked, so that the screwing There is no fear that the integrated leg body and mounting member will loosen due to vibration or the like.

In addition, the mounting member can be attached by simply inserting the leg body screwed onto the mounting member into the cavity of the main body, without having to perform the complicated work of matching the through hole of the mounting member with the cavity of the main body as in the past. Since it can be fixed immediately, it can greatly contribute to improving work efficiency.
