Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention is used for continuously attaching a decorative molding to a bent portion of an automobile door panel or a bent portion of a trunk lid panel. It is related to the improvement of the dedicated clip.

"Prior art" As a conventional mounting clip of this type, for example
There is one shown in Japanese Patent No. 73644.

Although not specifically shown, the conventional clip is an integrally molded product of synthetic resin, and the clip base body for holding the molding is formed in advance into a substantially V shape similar to the bent portion of the panel, A locking leg for locking the panel-side mounting hole is formed on the upper portion of the base body corresponding to the upper side portion of the panel bending portion, and the panel side mounting portion is formed on the lower portion corresponding to the lower side portion of the panel bending portion. It is configured to hold a screw grommet inserted into the hole.

When the molding is attached to the bent portion of the panel by using this attachment clip, first, the upper and lower edges of the clip base having a dogleg shape are similarly formed into a dogleg shape. After the bent flange portion of the molding is locked, the locking leg formed on the upper part of the base is locked in the mounting hole formed above the bent part of the panel to secure the clip base of the clip base. After temporarily fixing the upper part to the upper part of the panel bending part,
Insert the screw grommet, which is held at the bottom of the base, into the mounting hole that is drilled below the panel bend,
By expanding the screw grommet by screwing a screw member and fixing the lower part of the clip base body to the lower part of the panel bent portion, the molding is continuously attached along the bent portion of the panel. is there.

"Problems to be solved by the invention" However, in the conventional clip, the base for holding the molding is integrally formed in advance in a dogleg shape similar to the bent portion of the panel. If the bent part of the panel defined by the lower part and the lower part is uniform in shape and dimension, the clip itself is securely fixed to the bent part of the panel. However, conversely, if there are variations in shape and dimension in the bent portion of the panel, it is not possible to effectively absorb these variations due to its structure, so the clip base has a dogleg shape. However, there is a big problem that the mounting state of the molding is undesirably unstable due to inadvertent distortion due to the variation.

Moreover, since the bent portion of the panel is often defined by the joining of two panels, in such a case, variations in shape and size are more likely to occur. The clip-shaped clip body itself will be distorted upward.

"Means for Solving the Problems" The present invention was developed to effectively solve the conventional problems, and is premised on a clip made of synthetic resin for attaching a molding to a bent portion of a panel. A clip base for holding the molding is formed in a size corresponding to the upper portion of the panel bent portion, and the clip base is fixed to the upper portion of the panel bent portion via a fixing means. An extension piece is integrally connected to the lower portion of the clip base body via a hinge portion, and the extension piece is fixed to a lower portion of the panel bending portion via fixing means.

According to the "action", in the present invention, even if there is a variation in shape or dimension in the panel bent portion, the extension piece continuously connected to the lower portion of the base body is attached to the panel bent portion. It is possible to effectively absorb these variations by the deformation of the hinge portion when fixing them to the lower portion via the fixing means. There is no fear of adversely affecting the mounting condition.

[Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to an illustrated example. The mounting clip according to the example is also an integrally molded product of synthetic resin. As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, a clip base body 1 for holding a molding is formed into a size corresponding to the upper side portion of the panel bending portion, and the base body 1 is formed over the entire upper end edge of the molding upper side bending flange. A pair of elastic locking arm portions 3 are formed on both sides of the lower end edge of the base body 1 to form locking portions 2 that lock the portions.
-While 3 is formed, a locking leg 4 that locks with a grommet that is previously engaged with a panel-side mounting hole is integrally provided on the inner surface of the base body 1 facing the panel.

In addition, in the present embodiment, in the center of the lower edge of the base body 1,
An extension piece 5 having a size corresponding to the lower side portion of the panel bending portion is integrally connected via a hinge portion 6, and the extension piece 5 is attached to a screw grommet preliminarily attached to a mounting hole on the panel side. It adopts a configuration of fixing via a screw member. For this reason, as shown in the drawing, a long hole 5a is formed on the distal end side of the extension piece 5 to allow the screw member to be inserted therethrough and at the same time adjust the fixing position appropriately.

Regarding the bent portion C of the panel, as shown in FIG.
It is assumed that the two panels P1 and P2 are joined to each other, and the upper panel P1 side that defines the bent portion C is provided with mounting holes H1 for fixing the grommets 7 at regular intervals. It is assumed that mounting holes H2 for engaging the screw grommets 8 are formed at regular intervals on the side of the lower panel P2 defining the bent portion C.

Therefore, by using the clip having such a configuration, a molding for decoration
When attaching 10 to the panel bending portion C, first,
As shown in FIG. A, the upper and lower engaging portions 2 and the lower end engaging arms 3 of the clip base 1 are attached to the upper and lower bent flange portions 10a and 10b of the molding 10.
And the long molding 10 is held by the plurality of clip bases 1 and then the locking legs 4 formed on the top of each base 1
By engaging the inside of the grommet 7 previously engaged with the mounting hole H1 of the panel P1 and locking the enlarged portion 4a of each locking leg 4 to the stepped portion 7a of the corresponding grommet 7, The clip base 1 is temporarily fixed to the upper panel P1 side.

Then, as shown in FIG. 2B, the extension pieces 5 formed at the lower end edges of the respective bases 1 are moved by utilizing the flexibility of the hinge portion 6 to lengthen the extension pieces 5. Hole 5a on the bottom panel
Align with the opening of the screw grommet 8 previously attached to the mounting hole H2 on the P2 side,
When the extension pieces 5 are expanded by screwing the screw members 9 and the extension pieces 5 are fixed to the lower panel P2, the base body 1 is fixed to the upper side portion of the corresponding panel bending portion C, and the extension pieces 5 are correspondingly folded. Bent C
Since it is securely fixed to the lower side portion, the molding 10 is continuously attached along the bent portion C of the panel.

Moreover, when the molding 10 is mounted, the panel bent portion C is defined by joining the two panels P1 and P2.
In addition, even if there are variations in shape or size, when the extension piece 5 is fixed to the lower panel P2, such variations are effective by the deformation utilizing the flexibility of the hinge portion 6. Therefore, in this embodiment, there is no fear that the variation of the panel bent portion C adversely affects the mounting state of the molding 10, and the elongated hole 5a of the extension piece 5 prevents the variation. Also, it becomes possible to absorb variations.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the stable mounting state of the molding 10 is always ensured regardless of the variation in the panel bent portion C.

In the embodiment described above, as the means for fixing the clip base body 1 to the upper side portion of the panel bending portion C, the locking leg 4 on the base body 1 side and the grommet 7 on the panel P1 side are used, and the extension piece 5 is used.
The screw grommet 8 and the screw member 9 are used as means for fixing the panel to the lower portion of the panel bending portion C, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other fixing means can be used. Needless to say. In particular,
As shown in FIG. 4, a screw grommet 8 is used for fixing the extension piece 5 to the lower portion of the panel bent portion C.
It is also optional to use a simple grommet 11 and expanding pin member 12 instead of the screw member 9 according to the implementation.

[Advantage of Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the clip base body for holding the molding is formed into a size corresponding to the upper side portion of the panel bending portion, and the base body is fixed to the panel bending portion via the fixing means. And an extension piece integrally connected to the lower part of the base body via a hinge portion, and the extension piece is fixed to a lower portion of the panel bending portion via fixing means. Since it is a feature, even if the panel bent portion has a variation in shape or dimension, when the extension piece is fixed to the lower portion of the panel bent portion via the fixing means, Since these variations can be effectively absorbed by the deformation of the hinge part, the variation of the panel bending part as in the past can be reduced.
There is no worry of adversely affecting the mounting condition of the molding.
