Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention is a clip that can hold a bar such as a rod installed inside a car and lock it into a locking hole drilled in a predetermined panel. This is related to the improvement of.

``Prior art'' As a conventional clip of this type,
There is one shown in Publication No. 87005.

Although not specifically shown, the conventional clip includes a holder that holds a bar and a main body that is hooked to a locking hole in a panel, and the former holder is connected via a connecting portion. It consists of two plate pieces with a C-shaped holding part formed on the upper end side and a C-shaped bearing part on the lower end side, and the latter body has a flange part and a leg part. The rotary shaft is horizontally installed on the upper surface of the flange.

In actual use, the holder is connected to the main body so that it can stand up and fall down simply by fitting the rotating shaft of the main body into the C-shaped bearing part of the holder from above and below. After holding the specified bar in the C-shaped holding part of the holder, the legs on the main body side are engaged with the locking holes in the panel, and this will hold the bar in the specified position on the panel. It becomes possible to do so.

Moreover, with conventional clips, the holder can be raised or overturned relative to the main body simply by ensuring that the C-shaped bearing part and the rotating shaft are fitted, so the connection structure can be simplified. This has the advantage that the clip itself can be easily determined whether it is in use or not.

``Problem to be solved by the invention'' However, under such conventional clips, regarding the connection between the holder and the main body, a space is formed in the center of the bearing part of the holder, and the main body is inserted into the space. Other than fitting the enlarged diameter part formed on the rotating shaft side to prevent the holder from moving in the lateral direction, basically all that is required is to fit the C-shaped bearing part and the rotating shaft. be.

For this reason, if an external force is applied from the lateral direction while the two are connected, there is no fear that the holding body will separate from the main body, but on the other hand, if an external force is applied upward (in the opposite direction to the connection direction). In case of ivy,
This has a major problem in that the C-shaped bearing and the rotating shaft easily come off, and the holder easily separates from the main body. In addition, the problem of such detachment may occur if the C-shaped bearing part becomes worn out due to changes over time, etc.
Needless to say, this will become even more noticeable.

Furthermore, when using a conventional clip, if a relatively large diameter bar is held in the holding part formed on the upper end side of the holder, a bearing part formed on the lower end side is required. As the connection force becomes abnormally high, not only does it become difficult to rotate the holder into the upright position or the inverted position, but in the worst case, it may cause damage to the bearing or its vicinity. There is also a good chance that this will happen. Incidentally, such an increase in the bonding force not only causes damage but also causes the bearing portion to become sagging, causing the holder to easily separate from the main body.

Therefore, in the case of conventional clips, although it was possible to freely rotate the holder between the upright position and the inverted position with respect to the main body, the above-mentioned connection structure was disadvantageous, and the bar This poses problems such as the state in which the material is held is unstable.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' Therefore, the present invention was developed to effectively solve the problems of conventional clips. The holder is formed into a substantially U-shape as a whole, and is provided with a synthetic resin bar holding clip that connects the holder to the main body so as to be able to stand up and fall down. A rotating shaft is horizontally installed at the lower end of the rotary shaft through the neck, and an annular recess is formed on the circumferential surface of one end of the rotating shaft, and a plurality of positioning grooves are formed in the longitudinal direction of the circumferential surface of the other end. , and a split groove is formed on one end side of the rotating shaft to allow diameter reduction of the one end, and the main body has a flange portion and a leg portion, and the rotating shaft can be rotated on the flange side. A pair of cylindrical bearings are provided to support the neck, and a space is defined between each cylindrical bearing to allow rotation of the neck. an annular locking wall portion that engages with the annular recess of the rotating shaft, and a slit that allows the neck portion to fit into the upper wall portion of the other cylindrical bearing portion; A configuration is adopted in which positioning protrusions are formed on the inner wall surface to fit individually into each of the positioning grooves.

"Operation" Accordingly, in the present invention, when connecting the holder to the main body, the rotating shaft is sequentially inserted into the other cylindrical bearing part and the one cylindrical bearing part from the one end side, By engaging the annular locking wall formed on one cylindrical bearing side with the annular recess formed on one end of the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft of the holder can be rotated between the two ends of the main body. It is rotatably supported by the cylindrical bearing part.

When an external force is applied to the holder from the lateral direction while the bar is being held, the engagement between the annular locking wall and the annular recess prevents the holder from separating from the main body. Needless to say, it is possible to do this, but in particular, in the present invention, the pair of bearing parts are made into a cylindrical shape, and the other bearing part is formed with a slit into which the neck part can be inserted. Since the cylindrical shape remains as it is on the bearing side, even if an upward external force is applied to the holder, the rotating shaft will not come out of the bearing due to the cylindrical shape of the first bearing. Since it is possible to reliably prevent the holder from coming off and easily detaching from the main body, the secure holding state of the bar is always guaranteed.

Furthermore, even if the pair of bearings wears down due to aging or the like, the cylindrical shape of one of the bearings can still prevent the rotating shaft from coming off the bearing.

``Example'' Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on an example illustrating the present invention.As shown in FIG.
and a main body 2 made of synthetic resin that is secured to a locking hole in a panel, and the holder 1 is connected to the main body 2 so as to be able to stand up and fall down. , the holding body 1 and the main body 2
The point is that it has the following structure.

That is, in this embodiment, the former holder 1 is formed into a substantially U-shape, and the rotating shaft 3 is integrally connected to the lower end of the holding body 1 via the neck 4, and one end side of the rotating shaft 3 is An annular recess 5 is formed on the circumferential surface, and three positioning grooves 6a, 6 are formed in the longitudinal direction of the circumferential surface on the other end side.
b, 6c are formed at regular intervals, and a split groove 7 is formed on one end side of the rotating shaft 3 to allow diameter reduction of one end.
It is structured to form a

Incidentally, among the three positioning grooves, the groove 6a located in the middle cooperates with the positioning protrusion described later to maintain the upright use posture of the holder 1, and the grooves 6b on both sides, 6c, on the other hand, functions to maintain the overturned, non-use posture.

On the other hand, the latter main body 2 has an upper large flange portion 8
and a lower small flange part 9, and a pair of bearing parts 10a and 10b which rotatably support the rotating shaft 3 of the holder 1 are integrally provided on the upper surface side of the large flange part 8. Elastically deformable leg portions 11 that engage with the locking holes in the panel are integrally provided vertically on the lower surface of the portion 9.

Further, the pair of bearing parts 10a and 10b each have a hollow cylindrical shape inside.
One bearing part 10a has an annular space 12 on its inner wall surface that engages with the recess 5 of the rotating shaft 3. The locking wall portion 13 is formed, and the other bearing portion 10b is
The three positioning grooves 6a are formed on its inner wall surface.
One positioning protrusion 14 that fits with 6b and 6c
At the same time, a slit 15 is formed in the upper wall portion into which the neck portion 4 can be fitted.

Therefore, for the clip main body 2 having such a configuration,
When assembling the separately molded holder 1,
The rotating shaft 3 of the holder 1 is forcibly inserted into the pair of bearing parts 10a and 10b from the end side where the annular recess 5 is formed, using the slit 15 of the other bearing part 10b. When the locking wall part 13 formed on the inner wall surface of one bearing part 10a and the recess part 5 on the rotating shaft 3 side are engaged, the neck part 4 is located in the cavity 12 and at the same time, the pair of bearing parts 10a and 10b, the rotating shaft 3 is rotatably supported without coming off.

Moreover, in such an assembled state, the positioning protrusion 14 is fitted into the positioning groove 6a that maintains the upright usage position, so the holder 1 is in an upright state with respect to the main body 2. Connected for positioning.

Therefore, when holding the bar R, hold the bar R in the U-shaped holder 1, and insert the leg 11 into the locking hole H1 of one panel P1 through the small flange 9. At the same time as the large flange portion 8 and one panel P1 are held together, the hole edge of the through hole H2 in another panel P2 such as a trim board can be held between the large flange portion 8 and one panel P1, as shown in FIGS. 2A and B. The other panel P2 can be reliably fixed to one panel P1, and at the same time, the bar R can be reliably held in place by the holder 1. In such a situation, since the upper flange portion 8 has a large diameter, there is no fear that the panels P1 and P2, which are superimposed and fixed, will inadvertently shake. In addition, when an external force is applied from the lateral direction to the holder 1 while the bar R is being held, the engagement between the annular locking wall 13 and the annular recess 5 prevents the rod R from being held. Needless to say, there is no fear that the body 1 will separate from the main body 2, but in this embodiment, as described above, the pair of bearing parts 10a, 1
0b is made into a hollow cylindrical shape, and a slit 15 is formed in the other bearing part 10b to allow the insertion of the neck part 4, but the same hollow cylindrical shape is left on the side of the first bearing part 10a. Therefore, even if an upward external force is applied to the holder 1, this bearing part 1
Due to the effect of the hollow cylindrical shape of 0a, the rotating shaft 3 is
This means that it can be completely prevented from coming off from 0a and 10b.

In addition, if the pair of bearing parts 10 are damaged due to changes over time, etc.
Even if parts a and 10b become loose, the shape of one bearing part 10a can prevent the rotating shaft 3 from coming off from the bearing part, so in any case, the holder 1 will not come off from the main body 2. This means you don't have to worry about it at all.

In addition, when it is no longer necessary to hold the bar R, as shown in FIGS.
When the rotating shaft 3 rotates in a predetermined direction within the positioning groove 6a, the rotating shaft 3 rotates while releasing the positioning protrusion 14 from the positioning groove 6a.
Since the positioning protrusion 14 is fitted to b or 6c, the holding body 1 is reliably maintained in the unused state of being overturned with respect to the main body 2.

Therefore, due to such a falling state, the holding body 1 will not inadvertently protrude from the main body 2 when not in use and become a hindrance at all.

Also, due to the rotation of the rotating shaft 3, the positioning protrusion 1
4 is removed from each positioning groove, the other bearing portion 10b expands through its own slit 15, so that the holder 1 can be turned over and raised very easily with a fingertip. At the same time, when the positioning protrusion 14 is fitted into another positioning groove, clear node sensitivity can be obtained.

Moreover, in this embodiment, since two grooves for maintaining the holder 1 in an overturned, unused position are provided on the rotating shaft 3, the two grooves 6b, 6
By selecting c, it is possible to overturn the holder 1 to the side where it will be least obstructive, so from this point as well, there is no worry that the holder 1 will be an hindrance when not in use.

It goes without saying that even when the holding body 1 which is not in use is rotated back to the upright and used state, a simple operation with fingers can be performed in the same way as described above.

Further, in the above embodiment, the main body 2 is provided with large and small flanges 8 and 9 so that another panel P2 such as a trim board can be fixed to the panel P1, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is also possible, depending on the implementation, to provide the main body 2 with only one flange portion and configure the main body 2 to simply lock into the locking hole of the panel, as with conventional clips. It is.

In addition, in the embodiment, the positioning means for maintaining the upright posture and the falling posture of the holding body 1 is provided in the groove 6.
a, 6b, 6c and a protrusion 14, and grooves 6a, 6c.
6b and 6c on the rotating shaft 3 side, and the protrusion 14 on the bearing part 1.
Although these grooves and protrusions are formed on the 0b side, it goes without saying that the same effect can be obtained even if the grooves and protrusions are provided on the opposite sides.

"Effects of the Invention" As described above, by employing the above-mentioned configuration, the present invention allows the holder to maintain its position not only when an external force is applied to the holder from the lateral direction, but also when an external force is applied upward. Since detachment from the main body can be completely prevented, a reliable and stable holding state of the bar can be ensured, and in addition to this, detachment due to sagging of the cylindrical bearing can also be prevented.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a margin in the relationship between the rotating shaft and the other cylindrical bearing, so that the elasticity of the slit formed in the upper wall of the other cylindrical bearing can be increased. In conjunction with this function, there is an advantage that smooth rotation and reliable positioning of the rotating shaft can be achieved.
