Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> This invention relates to the improvement of a clip for attaching a mounting member to a member to be attached.For example, when attaching a weather strip to a vehicle window frame or attaching a carpet to a floor. This clip is suitable for use in applications such as

Hereinafter, in this specification, explanation will be given by taking a weather strip as an example of an attachment member and a door inner panel as an example of an attached member.

<Prior Art> Conventionally, there is a clip 1 of the above type as shown in FIG. (Refer to Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-111410). This clip 1 has a first attachment part 3 and a second attachment part 3.
It is composed of a mounting part 10 and a cap 25.

The first mounting portion 3 has a structure in which an upper plate 5 and a lower plate 7 are connected by a support 9.

The second mounting portion 10 is composed of a base portion 11 protruding from the lower surface of the lower plate 7 described above and engaging portions (elastic deformation portions) 18 and 19. Base part 11
consists of a neck part 13 and a body part 15, and a pair of engaging parts 1 are formed from both shoulders of the body part 15 to form a V-shape.
8 and 19 are bulged out. This engaging portion 18,1
9 is connected to the lower plate 7 by reinforcing members 21 and 23. Reference numeral 17 in the figure is a flange portion, to which the cap 25 is temporarily fixed.

Next, the attachment state of the clip 1 will be explained. Figure 9 shows an example of attaching clip 1 (first
0), the reference numeral 31 in the figure is a door inner panel, the reference numeral 33 is a door outer panel, and the reference numeral 35 is a body panel.

Insert the upper plate 5 of the first attachment part 3 into the base part 39a of the weather strip 39. As a result, upper plate 5 and lower plate 7
The bottom wall of the base 39a is held between the two. Then, the second attachment portion 10 is inserted into a locking hole drilled at a predetermined portion of the door inner panel 31. At this time, each of the engaging portions 18 and 19 interferes with the periphery of the locking hole and temporarily closes its tip (spring-elastic compressed state). Thereafter, when the tips of the engaging portions 18 and 19 pass through the periphery of the locking hole, the engaging portions 18 and 1
9 returns to the original state (no load state). In this state, the second attachment portion 10 is attached to the door inner panel 31.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> In the clip 1 having the above configuration, the first attachment part 3 is fixed to the weather strip 39 in advance, so that
When the second attachment part 10 is attached to the door inner panel 31, the weather strip 39 acts as a shield, making it difficult to check whether the second attachment part 10 is inserted into the locking hole.

Therefore, the object of this invention is to provide a clip that allows easy confirmation of the insertion state of the second attachment part 10 into the locking hole.

<Means for Solving the Problems> This invention is a clip made to achieve the above object, and has a first mounting part fixed to the mounting member and a spring elastic deformation part, A clip comprising: a second attachment portion that engages with the peripheral edge of a locking hole of a member in a clip-locking manner; a projection protruding from the elastic deformation portion; When the second attachment part interferes with the periphery of the locking hole and the elastic deformation part is compressed in a spring-elastic manner, the projection part comes into contact with the projection part. away from the surface,
When the compressed state of the elastic deformation part is released, the protrusion collides with the contact surface, producing a collision sound.

<Example> Hereinafter, this invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples. The same members as in the conventional example are given the same reference numerals, and their explanations will be partially omitted.

First Embodiment FIG. 1 is a front view of the clip 40 of this embodiment.
FIG. 2 is a side view of the same. This clip 40 is
It is composed of a first attachment part 3, a second attachment part 10, and a cap 25.

The first attachment part 3 is embedded in the weather strip 39, and is the same as in the conventional example. Of course, the design of the first mounting portion 3 can be changed as appropriate depending on the mounting member. FIG. 3 illustrates a clip 40a having an upper plate 5a shifted by 90 degrees from that of FIG.

A recess 41 is provided on the lower surface of the lower plate 7.
is formed. In this recessed portion 41, the right side surface in the drawing becomes a contact surface 42.

The second attachment part 10 is fixed to the door inner panel 31, and includes a pair of engagement parts (elastic deformation parts) 18, which engage with the periphery of the locking hole 37 (see FIG. 4) in a clip-like manner. It is equipped with 19. These are the same as the conventional example. Of course, this second
The design of the attachment part 10 can also be changed as appropriate. For example, if the reinforcing member 21 is eliminated or the cap 25 is not used, the collar portion 17 becomes unnecessary. Furthermore, two or more engaging portions can also be provided.

A protrusion 43 is bulged upward from a portion of the upper surface of the engaging portion 19 that faces the recess 41 . When the engaging portions 18 and 19 are in an unloaded state, the protruding portion 43 is connected to the contact surface 42.
is in contact with. Note that in addition to providing a protrusion on the engaging portion 18, a corresponding recess can be formed on the lower plate 7.

The cap 25 is for protecting the peripheral edge of the locking hole 37. That is, if the second attachment part 10 is inserted into the locking hole 37 in a bare state, the side surfaces of each of the engaging parts 18 and 19 may interfere with the periphery of the locking hole 37, and the paint on the periphery may be peeled off. Therefore, the cap 25 is used to prevent this. Therefore, this cap 25 is made of a soft polymeric material (EVA, PVC, etc.).

On the other hand, the first attachment part 3 and the second attachment part 10 are made of a spring-elastic polymer material (PP, PA, ABS).
etc.).

Next, the attachment manner and operation of the clip 40 of the embodiment will be explained.

First, as shown in FIG.
Insert into 9a. As a result, the upper plate 5 and the lower plate 7 sandwich the bottom wall of the base portion 39a, and the first attachment portion 3 is fixed to the weather strip 39.

Next, the second attachment part 10 is inserted into the locking hole 37 of the door inner panel 31. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, each of the engaging portions 18 and 19 interferes with the periphery of the locking hole 37 and deforms to close (compressed state). Therefore, the protrusion 43 falls to the left and separates from the contact surface 42.

When the second attachment part 10 is further inserted into the door inner panel 31, the state shown in FIG. 5 is obtained. In this state, the tips of each of the engaging parts 18 and 19 pass through the periphery of the locking hole 37, so mutual interference (the compressed state of each of the engaging parts 18 and 19) is released, and each engaging part 18 and 19 return to their original unloaded state at a high speed based on the repulsive force accumulated inside them. Therefore, the protrusion 43 that has fallen toward the neck 13 will collide with force against the contact surface 47. At that time, a collision sound is generated. In other words, the completion of the insertion work of the second attachment part 10 into the locking hole 37 can be confirmed by the generation of this collision sound.

Second Embodiment FIG. 6 shows a front view of the clip 50 of this embodiment. Note that the same members as the clip 40 of the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and the explanation thereof will be partially omitted.

This clip 50 is characterized in that a collision wall 51 is provided on the lower surface of the lower plate 7.

The left side surface of the collision wall 51 in the drawing becomes the contact surface 52.
The protruding portion 53 is bulged out from the engaging portion 19, and
When the engaging portion 19 is in an unloaded state, it is in contact with the contact surface 52.

Therefore, when the second attachment part 10 is inserted into the locking hole 37, as the engagement part 19 is compressed, the projection part 53 also falls to the left and separates from the contact surface 52.

Then, each engaging portion 18, 1 of the second attachment portion 10
9 completely passes through the locking hole 37, the engaging portion 19
returns to its original shape, so that the protrusion 53 touches the contact surface 52
The vehicle collides with the vehicle, producing a collision sound. Therefore, it can be confirmed that the insertion work of the second attachment part 10 into the locking hole 37 is completed.

Third Embodiment FIG. 7 is a front view of the clip 60 of this embodiment.

This clip 60 is composed of a first attachment part 61 and a second attachment part 70. The first mounting member 61 consists of an upper plate inserted into the base 39a of the weather strip 39.

The second attachment part 70 is an arrow-shaped member and protrudes from the lower surface of the first attachment member 61. The central part is cut out, and a pair of substantially L-shaped projections 71 and 72 are protruded from the periphery of the cutout (elastic deformation parts 73 and 74) so as to intersect with each other. There is. This protrusion 71,7
2, the second mounting portions 61 are in contact with each other in the no-load state. If this corresponds to the scope of the utility model registration claim, when the upper protrusion 71 is defined as a "protrusion", the right side surface 72a of the vertical part of the lower protrusion becomes the "contact surface". Further, reference numerals 75 and 76 in the figure are engaging portions.

When inserting the clip 60 having such a configuration into the locking hole 37 of the door inner panel 31, the elastically deformable portion 7
The second mounting portion 70 including 3 and 74 is deformed as shown by the virtual two-dot chain line in the figure. At this time, the protrusion 7
1 and 72 are separated from each other. and,
When the respective engaging portions 75 and 76 of the second attachment portion 10 completely pass through the locking hole 37, the elastic deformation portions 73 and 74
As the protrusions 71 and 72 return to their original shapes, they collide with each other, producing a collision sound. Therefore, it can be confirmed that the insertion work of the second attachment part 70 into the locking hole 37 is completed.

<Functions and effects of the invention> As explained above, the clip of this invention is
A first mounting portion fixed to the mounting member; and a second mounting portion having an elastically deformable portion that is elastically deformable and engages with the peripheral edge of the locking hole of the mounting member in a clip-like manner. It's a clip to prepare for,
It includes a protrusion protruding from the elastic deformation part and a contact surface that abuts the protrusion when the elastic deformation part is in an unloaded state, so that the second attachment part does not interfere with the periphery of the locking hole. When the elastically deformable portion is compressed in a spring-elastic manner, the protrusion separates from the contact surface, and when the compressed state of the elastic deformation portion is released, the protrusion collides with the contact surface, producing a collision sound. It is characterized by a configuration that generates.

According to the clip having such a structure, when the second attachment part is inserted into the locking hole, the second attachment part is compressed at the periphery of the locking hole, and its elastically deformable portion is compressed in a spring-elastic manner. At this time, the protrusion separates from the contact surface, but as the second attachment part is further inserted into the locking hole, the interference (compression) on the second attachment part by the periphery of the locking hole is released. ,
The elastic deformation portion of the second attachment portion returns to its original state. Then, based on the repulsive force accumulated in the elastically deformed portion, the protrusion collides with force against the contact surface, generating a collision sound. Therefore, relying on this collision sound, the second
Completion of insertion of the attachment portion into the locking hole can be easily confirmed.

In other words, according to the clip of this invention, in the operation of inserting the second attachment part into the locking hole of the member to be attached, the state of insertion of the second attachment part into the locking hole can be easily confirmed.
