Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a fixing clip for fixing a mounting member such as a harness or pipes in a predetermined position to a member to be attached such as a vehicle body panel.

(Prior art and its problems) Conventionally, as this type of clip, for example,
There is one disclosed in No. 57-21881.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing the configuration and attachment mode of the fixing clip shown as a conventional example in the above application. In this figure, the fixing clip 1 includes a pair of holding pieces 5 for holding a harness 9, etc. An anchor-shaped locking piece 6 that can be elastically inserted into and engaged with a mounting hole 8 formed in the mounting member 2, and a seat plate 7 that comes into contact with the periphery of the mounting hole 8 to regulate the mounting position. Be prepared.

Therefore, if the locking piece 6 is press-fitted into the mounting hole 8 while the harness 9 and the like are press-fitted and held between the holding pieces 5, the position where the seat plate 7 abuts the mounted member 2 on the periphery of the mounting hole 8 is reached. The locking piece 6 is locked to the opening edge on the back side of the mounting hole 8, so that the harness 9 and the like can be fixed to the member 2 to be mounted.

However, such conventional fixing clips 1
In this case, since the anchor-shaped locking piece 6 is attached to the periphery of the mounting hole 8, the locking state is unstable and the locking member may be locked in an inclined state with respect to the attached member 2. Therefore, there was a risk that one side would come off from the mounting hole 8.

Furthermore, even if the locking piece 6 is properly locked, the locking piece 6 can only restrict the position of the mounting hole 8 in the X direction in the figure, and may be deviated from the predetermined position in the KY direction in the figure. It may be fixed.

On the other hand, the fixing clip 1 is attached to the harness 9.
Since a plurality of fixing clips 1 are attached at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction of the fixing clips 1, when the harness or pipes have high rigidity, the attachment positions of the fixing clips 1 can be changed from each other as described above. If it is misaligned, unreasonable stress will be applied to the harness and the pipes, and there is a risk that they may fall off from the holding piece 5 due to vibration or the like.

(Purpose of the invention) The present invention was developed in view of these conventional problems, and it is possible to stably attach an attachment member such as a harness to a member to be attached, and also to control the attachment position of the attachment member. It is an object of the present invention to provide a fixing clip that can be controlled in both the front and back and left and right directions with respect to a mounting hole and can be fixed at an accurate mounting position.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above-mentioned object, in the present invention, the seat plate that comes into contact with the periphery of the rectangular mounting hole formed in the member to be mounted is the boundary, and on one side, the mounting hole is In a fixing clip formed by forming a fixing part that fits into the hole and a holding part for holding a harness, tubing, etc. on the other side, the fixing part is formed in the first part of the mounting hole.
a pair of elastic locking pieces that elastically engage with both opening ends in the second direction; and a pair of elastic locking pieces that protrude obliquely from the main body with respect to both opening ends in the second direction of the mounting hole, and have a free end at the tip; a pair of elastic protrusions formed at approximately symmetrical positions, which are movable in the horizontal direction due to their elasticity, and which press and abut against both opening ends in the second direction to determine the mounting position in the second direction; The fixing clip is characterized by a pair of guide pieces that are formed in front of the elastic projecting piece in the insertion direction and serve as guides in the second direction when the elastic protrusion is inserted into the attachment hole.

(Embodiments) Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 to 5 show an embodiment of the present invention,
As shown in FIG. 1, the fixing clip 10 according to the present embodiment has a flat seat plate 11 as a boundary, and has a fixing part 12 on one side (lower side in FIG. 1) and on the other side (lower side in FIG. 1). A holding portion 13 is formed in the upper part.

The seat plate 11 restricts the fitting position of the fixing portion 12 into the mounting hole 15 by coming into contact with the peripheral edge 16 of the mounting hole 15 formed in the mounting member 14 such as a vehicle panel.

The holding part 13 consists of a pair of holding legs 17, 17, and can hold a mounting member such as a harness or pipes by pressing and fitting the mounting member between the holding legs 17. .

The fixing part 12 includes a pair of elastic locking pieces 18,
It is composed of a pair of elastic protrusions 19 and a pair of guide pieces 20.

The elastic locking pieces 18 are adapted to be able to elastically engage with both opening ends in the first direction (in the lateral direction in this embodiment) of the mounting hole 15 formed in the member to be mounted 14 .

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, which is a sectional view taken along the line A-A in FIG. 3, the upper part 18a is formed as a free end with respect to the cavity 21 formed in the main body.
The inclined enlarged portion 22 on the outer surface serves as a guide when fitting into the attachment hole 15, and the locking protrusion 23 formed on the upper portion thereof is configured to engage with the inner edge of the opening end of the attachment hole 15.

The elastic projecting piece 19 is pressed against and abuts both open ends of the mounting hole 15 in a second direction (longitudinal direction in this embodiment) perpendicular to the first direction, thereby determining the mounting position in the second direction. It is something.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the pair of elastic protrusions 19 are formed to protrude obliquely from the main body with respect to both opening ends in the second direction of the mounting hole 15, and have free ends, and due to their elasticity, Both elastic protrusions 19 are movable in the horizontal direction and are arranged symmetrically with respect to each other on a plane.

In addition, as shown in FIG.
5, the horizontal dimension between the lower ends of both the inclined parts 24, 24 is set exactly equal to the dimension in the second direction (longitudinal direction) of the mounting hole 15, and the upper part thereof The dimension between them is set to be slightly larger than the dimension of the attachment hole 15 in the second direction.

Further, both inclined portions 24 are connected to the elastic locking piece 18.
The mutual positional relationship is set so that the locking protrusion 23 is positioned slightly forward (lower in FIG. 2) with respect to the direction of insertion into the mounting hole 15.

The guide piece 20 includes both elastic protrusions 19 in FIG.
2, the dimension between the upper parts in FIG. 2 is set exactly equal to the dimension in the second direction of the mounting hole 15, and the slope tapers downward. 25 is formed.

Next, a manner of attaching the fixing clip 10 according to this embodiment will be explained.

At the time of installation, first, as shown in FIG. It is inserted into the mounting hole 15 of the mounting member 14.

When the guide piece 20 is inserted into the mounting hole 15, the inclined portion 25 of the guide piece 20 first faces both opening ends in the longitudinal direction, and if the insertion position is deviated, one of the inclined portions 25 comes into contact with the opposing opening end. The reaction force corrects the entire clip 1 to the correct position.

After the upper part of the guide piece 20 and both opening ends in the longitudinal direction opposite thereto come into contact with each other, the elastic locking pieces 18 are expanded at both angles at both opening ends in the lateral direction of the mounting hole 15 perpendicular to the upper part of the guide piece 20. The portion 22 comes into contact with the guide piece 20, and the clip 1 is positioned at a predetermined position in the lateral direction by the same action as the inclined portion 25 of the guide piece 20 described above.

In parallel with this, the inclined portion 24 at the tip of the elastic protrusion 19 engages with both opening ends in the longitudinal direction of the mounting hole 15, and the force of fitting the clip 1 causes the elastic protrusion 19 to be horizontally moved from both opening ends. Since the force for displacing in the direction is applied as a reaction force, the elastic protrusion 19 has its outer end pressed against both open ends as shown in FIG. 3 due to its elasticity.
Displace to the position where it touches.

In this state, the locking protrusions 23 of the elastic locking piece 18 engage with the inner edges of both opening ends in the transverse direction, and the seat plate 11 acts as a stopper for the entire clip 1 at the outer periphery of the mounting hole 15. By making contact, the clip 1 is locked in a predetermined position in the mounting hole 15, and the fixing of the mounting member 26 to the member to be mounted 14 is completed.

(Effect of the invention) In the present invention configured as described above, in addition to the elastic locking pieces that engage with both opening ends in the first direction of the mounting hole, the elastic locking pieces are pressed against and abut on both opening ends in the second direction. By providing an elastic protrusion and further providing a pair of guide pieces in front of the elastic protrusion in the insertion direction to serve as a guide in the second direction when the elastic protrusion is inserted into the mounting hole, it is possible to Accurate positioning of the mounting position in the direction can be made.

Therefore, even when a plurality of such fixing clips are installed in parallel, there will be no displacement between them, and problems such as falling off of the mounting material will be eliminated.

In addition, not only during installation, but also after installation, the elastic protruding pieces together with the elastic locking pieces remain pressed against and in contact with both open ends of the mounting hole, so vibrations, etc. can cause the elastic locking pieces to move away from the mounting hole. There is no risk of it coming off, and it can provide various useful effects that have not been seen before, such as being able to continuously ensure an accurate mounting position.

In the above embodiment, a pair of guide pieces are provided as guides in the second direction, but if necessary, the guide pieces can be omitted.
It goes without saying that various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
