Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a clamp for attaching an object to a mounting panel.

0002

[Conventional technology]

For example, a clamp that attaches an object such as a wire harness to a vehicle body panel. is well known in the past, and FIG. 3 shows one conventional example.

0003 The clamp 1 shown here consists of a substrate 2, a support 3 erected on this substrate 2, and a corresponding A pair of locking legs 4 are integrally installed at the tip of the support column 3 in an approximately V-shaped open state. have. The clamp 1 is made of synthetic resin, for example, and has a pair of locking legs. 4 can be elastically deformed in the direction of closing the V-shaped state (in the direction of arrow A) .

0004 Here, the wire harness 5, which is an example of an object to be attached, is attached to, for example, a panel 6 of a vehicle body. To do this, first attach the wire harness using adhesive vinyl tape 7, etc., as shown in Figure 3. The base 5 is fixed to the substrate 2. Next, insert the surface 9 of the panel 6 into the mounting hole 8 of the panel 6. Push both locking legs 4 in the direction shown by arrow B from the side. At this time, both locking legs 4 are attached. It is elastically deformed in the closing direction shown by arrow A due to external force received from the edge of the hole 8. both When the locking legs 4 pass through the mounting holes 8 as shown in FIG. 4, both locking legs 4 become elastic again. The locking portions 10 of each locking leg 4 are brought into pressure contact with the edge 11 of the mounting hole 8 . At this time, the board 2 is also pressed against the surface 9 of the panel 6, so the clamp 1 is locked against the panel 6. , whereby the wire harness 5 is attached to the panel 6.

[0005] When removing the wire harness 5 from the panel 6, remove the wire harness 5 from the panel 6. Pressure is applied to the locked locking legs 4 in the direction shown by arrow A in FIG. Remove each locking part 10 from the edge 11 of the mounting hole 8, and then move the clamp 1 in the direction of the arrow. Just pull it out in the C direction.

[0006]

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

As mentioned above, the object to be mounted can also be mounted on the mounting panel 6 using the conventional clamp 1. When removing the clamp 1 that is once secured to the panel 6, the back side of the panel 6 must be removed. Both locking legs 4 may be pressurized in the direction of arrow A from the surface 12 side.

[0007] However, the panel 6 has a closed cross-sectional shape, like the pillar of an automobile, for example. At this time, it is not possible to put your hand into the back side 12 of this panel 6, so both sides are locked. It is not possible to pressurize the leg 4 in the direction of arrow A, and the clamp 1 is removed from the panel 6. It may not be possible to do so, or even if it could be done, it would be extremely difficult to operate.

[0008] Further, in the conventional clamp 1, the base plate 2 and the locking portion 10 of the locking leg 4 are attached to the mounting panel. The clamp 1 is configured to be locked to the panel 6 by pinching the panel 6. Therefore, if the thickness t (Fig. 4) of panel 6 changes, it becomes difficult to use this clamp. I can not do such a thing. Therefore, clamps of various shapes corresponding to panels 6 of various thicknesses t are used. It was necessary to understand.

[0009] The object of the present invention is to provide a clamp that eliminates the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks.

0010

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a substrate to which an object is fixed, and a substrate that stands on the substrate. A pillar is installed and a pillar is connected to the end of the pillar in an approximately V-shape. It has a pair of locking legs, and the locking legs can be elastically deformed in the direction of closing the V-shaped state. The surface of the mounting panel is inserted into the mounting hole of the mounting panel while elastically deforming both locking legs. Push in from the side, pass the locking leg through the mounting hole, and then elastically spread and expand both locking legs. , Attach the object to the mounting panel by pressing the locking part of each locking leg against the edge of the mounting hole. In the clamp, with the locking portion of each locking leg in pressure contact with the edge of the mounting hole, It protrudes from the front side of the mounting panel, curves in the gap between the panel and the board, and The rod-shaped knob formed at the tip of the elastic member presses against the surface of the mounting panel near the mounting hole. A blade is integrally provided at the tip of each of the locking legs, and the rod-shaped knob is connected to the width of the board. The clamp is longer than the board, with both ends of each knob protruding outward from the board. suggest.

【Example】

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a clamp 1 according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a clamp 1 according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view showing a state in which an object to be attached is attached to a mounting panel.

0012 The basic configuration of the clamp 1 shown here and the wire harness 5 that is the object to be attached are as follows. The basic operation of fixing to panel 6 is the same as the conventional clamp explained earlier. . Therefore, parts that are the same as or similar to the conventional ones will be given the same reference numerals and their explanation will be omitted. do.

[0013] The difference from the conventional method is that, as shown in FIG. 2, the clamp 1 is locked to the panel 6, When the locking portion 10 is brought into pressure contact with the edge 11 of the mounting hole 8, the substrate 2 is placed on the surface of the panel 6. Elastic blades 13 are integrated at the point spaced apart from 9 and at the tip of each locking part 10. The point is that they are connected. The elastic blade 13 is elastically deformable in the direction of arrow D (FIG. 1). be.

[0014] In the state shown in FIG. 2, each elastic blade 13 protrudes toward the surface 9 of the mounting panel 6, In the gap between the panel 6 and the substrate 2, it curves toward the surface 9 of the panel 6. ing. Further, a rod-shaped knob 14 is integrally attached to the tip of each elastic blade 13. These knobs 14 are attached to the mounting panel surface 9 near the mounting hole 8 due to the elasticity of the elastic blade itself. Therefore, they are in pressure contact.

[0015] In this way, the locking portion 10 and the tip knob 14 of the elastic blade 13 are pressed against the panel 6. The clamp 1 is then locked to the panel 6, and the wire harness 5 is thereby secured to the panel. 6.

[0016] At this time, since each elastic blade 13 can be elastically deformed in the direction of arrow D as described above, the Even when the thickness of the wall 6 is not t as shown in Fig. 2, for example, it is T, both bullets The elastic blade 13 is elastically deformed as shown by the broken line in FIG. The tip knob 14 is pressed against the surface 9 of the panel 6. In other words, panel 6 No matter the thickness, the wire harness is clamped by the clamp 1 shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The screen 5 can be held on the panel 6.

[0017] Furthermore, each rod-shaped knob 14 is formed longer than the width W of the substrate 2, as seen from FIG. The both end portions 15 protrude outward from the substrate 2 by an amount indicated by δ.

[0018] When removing the clamp 1 from the panel 6, the operator should pull it from the surface 9 side of the panel 6. Place your fingers on each end 15 of the knobs 14, and rotate both knobs 14 toward each other as shown by arrow E in FIG. The blades 13 are brought close to each other to elastically deform the elastic blades 13. As a result, both locking legs 4 are also mutually It moves in the closing direction, and both of the locking portions 10 are removed from the edge 11 of the mounting hole 8. Therefore, By pulling clamp 1 in the direction of arrow C, clamp 1 can be pulled out from panel 6 without any problem. be able to. Operate clamp 1 from the surface 9 side of panel 6 in this way. can be removed from the panel 6, so the panel 6 can be used like a car pillar. It has a closed cross-sectional shape and can be easily used even when you cannot reach the back side 12. The clamp 1 can then be removed from the panel 6.

[0019] This invention can be used widely for clamps that attach various objects other than wire harnesses. It is applicable.

[0020]

[Effect of the idea]

According to this invention, even if the thickness of the mounting panel changes, the same clamp can be used to mount the mounted panel. Objects can be mounted on panels. Also, install the clamp from the front side of the mounting panel. The panel can be removed and cannot be accessed on the back side. The clamp can be removed without any problem.
