Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To prevent the legs from breaking even if the clip legs are installed diagonally into the panel holes. [Structure] A clip 1 is provided with a head portion 3 and a leg portion 4, and is locked by inserting the leg portion into a hole in a panel. This clip has four legs that hang down independently from the head.
1, each leg is integrally molded to define a leg that flares radially outward at the intermediate portion 12 and tapers at the leg end 13, each leg having the same shape in cross-section at the intermediate portion. The legs are formed symmetrically with respect to the central axis of the leg and at equal intervals from each other. This maintains a uniform locking force on the entire outer circumferential surface of the leg portion to the panel hole.

Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

The present invention has a structure in which the legs are locked by inserting them into holes in panels such as the vehicle body. The present invention relates to a clip that can be used to attach other members to the head.

0002

[Conventional technology]

It is configured to be locked by inserting the legs into holes in panels such as the vehicle body, and the head The head and legs are integrally molded to which other parts such as door trims can be attached. Plastic clips are well known. For example, Utility Model No. 51-1403 Such a clip is formed in the official gazette and Japanese Utility Model Application No. 63-154808. . The clips described in these publications can be attached to a door by simply inserting the legs into the panel holes. It is convenient because members such as rims can be attached.

0003

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

In these traditional clips, the legs are inserted into the panel holes and then inserted evenly into the holes. The force distribution improves the strength of the installation. But in these clips Even if the legs are inserted diagonally into the panel holes for some reason, the parts that make up the legs may Because the strength of each leg is not uniform, the legs may crack or become stiff if left in place. Constant force was sometimes reduced.

0004 Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a simple structure that allows the legs to be inserted diagonally. A clip that prevents each leg from breaking and maintains a constant strong fixation force. Our goal is to provide the following.

[0005]

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve this purpose, according to the present invention, the legs hang independently from the head. Consisting of four legs, each leg flares radially outward at its midsection and extends outward at its ends. The legs are integrally molded to form tapered legs, and each leg has an intermediate section. are formed in the same shape in the cross section near Provided is a clip that is characterized in that the clips are formed symmetrically and equidistantly from each other. .

【Example】

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In Figure 1, A clip 1 according to the present invention includes a head 3 that holds a trim 2 and a clip 1 that hangs from the head 3. It is provided with leg parts 4 and can be locked by inserting the leg parts 4 into holes 6 in a panel 5 of a vehicle body, etc. It is constructed from a single piece of plastic material with a structure that

[0007] Details of the clip 1 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 8. clip The head 3 of the trim 2 is shaped to lock onto the bracket 7 of the trim 2. It is shaped so that it can hold. In addition, the shape of this head 3 is particular about this shape. Rather, it can be formed into any shape that can be used in any known clip. Also, head 3 A head flange 8 is provided on the side of the leg 4, and the lower surface of this flange is shaped like a suction cup. It is preferable that the leg part 4 be made into the panel hole 6 after the leg part 4 is inserted into the panel hole 6. A suction cup portion 9 is tightly secured to the panel 5 to provide a watertight structure.

[0008] The leg part 4 consists of four legs 11 that hang down independently from the head part 3, and each leg 11 flares radially outward in the intermediate portion 12. This situation is best shown in Figure 8. has been done. The radially outwardly expanding intermediate portion 12 locks into the panel hole 6. The clip 1 is attached to the panel 5 by. Moreover, the end portion 13 of each leg 11 is , the entire leg is integrally molded to be tapered. This allows the legs 4 to It becomes easy to insert into the panel hole 6.

[0009] In the present invention, as best shown in FIG. In the cross section near the intermediate portion 12, the legs are formed in the same shape and the central axis of the leg portion 4 is They are formed symmetrically with respect to (point 15 in FIG. 8) and at equal intervals.

0010

[Effect of the idea]

According to the clip of the present invention, the legs consist of four legs that hang down independently from the head, Each leg has the same shape in cross-section near the middle part that expands radially outward. and are formed symmetrically with respect to the central axis of the legs and at equal intervals from each other. With the simple configuration of the legs, the force that causes the clip legs to lock into the panel holes is reduced from the circumference of the clip legs. It is uniform in all directions, and this uniformity is maintained even when the clip leg is inserted at an angle. The fixation of the clip remains stable without being damaged.
