Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a molding clip, and more particularly to a molding clip for attaching a molding used for an automobile door or the like to a vehicle body via a stud fixed to the vehicle body.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Molding clips for fixing moldings of automobiles, etc. to vehicle bodies via T-studs are known. In the conventional clip, the clip is attached to the molding, and the clip is pushed in by aligning the mounting holes of the clip with studs fixed at appropriate intervals to predetermined locations on the vehicle body. This clip is convenient because the molding can be attached to the vehicle body simply by pressing the molding against the vehicle body.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above clip, if there is a deviation in the fixed position of the stud or a manufacturing error in the molding, the mounting hole of the clip will shift relative to the head of the stud, making it difficult to attach the molding. If you force it in, the molding may become deformed or the clip may break, which is not desirable.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a molding clip that can deal with manufacturing errors in molding and deviations in the fixed position of studs.

Means for Solving the Problems To achieve this objective, the clip according to the present invention is composed of two parts. The first part is a plastic molding fitting and the second part is a plastic molding fitting.
The parts are plastic stud fittings. The molding attachment part is provided with locking parts on both sides of the molding for locking with the inner bent edge of the molding, and an elongated hole with a width larger than the head diameter of the stud extending in the longitudinal direction is formed in the center of the locking parts. There is. The stud fitting is elongated and narrower in width than the elongated hole in the molding fitting, and the stud fitting is arranged over the elongated hole in the molding fitting. , locking portions that lock at both ends of the elongated hole of the molding fitting are provided so as to be slidable in the lateral direction with respect to the molding fitting. In the center of the stud attachment part, an elongated hole is formed which is narrower than the diameter of the stud head under normal conditions, but can expand beyond the diameter of the head when the stud is pushed in.
It is designed to be able to be locked onto studs.

With the arrangement described above, the stud fitting is assembled over the elongated hole of the molding fitting so that the stud fitting can slide laterally relative to the molding fitting. Therefore, even if the fixed position of the stud deviates in the longitudinal direction of the molding, it can be corrected using the elongated hole of the stud mounting part, and the stud mounting part can also correct misalignment of the stud in the lateral direction or manufacturing errors in the molding. Can be corrected by lateral sliding.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figures 1a and b show a clip according to the invention, which clip 1 has a plastic molding fitting 2 installed in the molding and is centrally located on the molding fitting 2. It is a two-part clip consisting of a plastic stud fitting 3 which is attached so as to be slidable in the lateral direction of the part.

The molding fitting 2 is shown in detail in FIGS. 2a-g. This molding attachment part 2 has an elongated rectangular main body 5, and a locking part is provided on the side surface to lock into the inner bent edge of the molding. This locking portion consists of elastic tabs 6, 6 extending laterally from one side edge, and a protruding edge 7 formed on the other side edge. It is also preferable that a reinforcing protrusion 8 is formed between the two 6, 6, so that it can sufficiently resist the tension of the molding after installation.

The main body 5 has an elongated hole 10 formed in its center with a width sufficiently larger than the diameter of the head of the stud, and the main body 5 almost functions as a frame body. On the lower surface of the main body 5, seats 11, 11 are formed so as to approach each other from both longitudinal ends of the elongated hole 10 toward the center. These seats 11, 11 are for receiving and supporting the stud attachment part 3. A locking pawl 12 having a small width and extending upward is formed at the end of the seat.

It is preferable that the lower surface of the main body 5 is provided with a plurality of small protrusions 14 that protrude outward, so that the main body 5 can be stably attached to the vehicle body. Further, it is preferable that elastic protrusions 15 are provided that protrude outward and downward from both longitudinal ends of the lower surface of the main body 5, so that even if there is an error in the height of the stud, this can be accommodated. Can be done.

The stud fitting 3 is shown in detail in Figures 3a-f. The stud fitting 3 has an elongated body 18 of a width that allows it to fit into the elongated hole 10 of the molding fitting 2 and slide laterally. In the center of the main body 18 is an elongated hole 19 having a width large enough to receive and lock the head of the stud.
is formed. As shown in Fig. 3f, the width of this elongated hole 19 is large enough at the upper part to receive the head of the stud, and at the intermediate position, the width becomes as small as the shaft of the stud. The lower part is widened to make it easier to pick up the stud's head. Thus, when the lower hole portion is pushed against the head of the stud, the intermediate position momentarily opens and passes over the stud head to receive the stud head into the upper wide portion. Since the intermediate position returns to its original position, the stud attachment part 3 is attached to the stud.

At both ends of the elongated hole 19 of the main body 18, locking portions that lock onto the molding attachment part 2 are formed. This locking portion includes a slit 20 extending in the horizontal direction that receives the locking pawl 12 projecting upward from the seat 11 of the molding attachment part 2, and a slit 20 that is provided along the slit 20 and engages with the locking pawl 12. A slit 20 extends laterally, consisting of a locking pawl 21 for locking, the locking pawl 12 having a small width, and another locking pawl 21 extending along the slit 20, furthermore for stud attachment. Since the width of the main body 18 of the part 3 is narrower than the width of the elongated hole 10, the stud mounting part 3
can be slid laterally relative to the molding fitting 2.

In addition, in FIG. 3f, a notch 23 is formed in the outer part of the lower part of the main body 18, but this is provided to correspond to the inwardly bent edge of the molding. You can expand the range of slides.

As mentioned above, the clip 1 according to the present invention consists of two parts, the molding attachment part 2 and the stud attachment part 3, and as shown in FIGS. used.

FIG. 4 shows how the molding 25 is attached to the vehicle body 26 using the clip 1. In this figure, the stud fitting 3 is pushed into the molding fitting 2 in the direction of arrow 27 and joined together. In this state, the clip is delivered to a molding manufacturer or the like. The combined clip is attached to molding 25 as indicated by arrow 28. Molding manufacturers can deliver clips attached at appropriate intervals to automobile manufacturers. The molding with clip 25 is attached via a T-stud 29 fixed to the vehicle body 26 in the outfitting line of the vehicle. That is, each clip 1 arranged according to the spacing between the studs 29 is
(arrow 30) into the molding 25.
All you have to do is press it against the vehicle body 26. By this pushing, the width of the elongated hole 19 of the stud attachment part 3 is expanded once to receive the head of the stud 29, and then the clip 1 is fixed to the vehicle body 26 by this head, and the molding 25 is then fixed to the vehicle body 26. Fixed.

The fixed state is shown in FIGS. 5a and 5b. As shown in this figure, the clip 1 according to the present invention is able to withstand pitch deviations or lateral positional deviations of the studs 29, as well as manufacturing errors due to molding.
The molding 25 can be shifted both in the longitudinal direction (X direction) and in the lateral direction (Y direction) of the molding 25.

FIG. 6 shows a modification of the clip according to the invention. In this example, the structure of the molding fitting 2' is slightly different from that described above. This is because the attached molding 25' is flat and wide with little thickness. Even for such flat moldings, the height of the clip of the present invention can be kept low.

Effects of the invention According to the invention, the clip is made up of two parts and can deal with misalignment of the stud in both the longitudinal and lateral directions of the molding. It has the advantage of not requiring strictness. In addition, the molding attachment part has an elongated hole formed in its center, and the stud attachment part is designed to fit into this elongated hole, making it possible to make the overall height of the clip extremely low. It is possible to attach this to the car body even if it is a flat molding.
