The number of leg portions 9 may be three, four, or two or more. On the outer surface of each leg portion 9, locking claws 11 are formed in a plurality of steps in the longitudinal direction. The locking claw 11 may be an ordinary mountain-shaped locking claw, but as shown in the drawing, it is preferable that the locking claw 11 is formed as a ratchet claw in terms of ease of insertion and strength of connection force. At the top of the flange 6,
A groove-shaped (or a plus-shaped) recess 12 is formed so that the tip of the screwdriver or a coin can be engaged to rotate the first clip member 6. Further, a pin-shaped projection 13 is provided on the lower surface of the flange 8 to prevent the clip 1 from rotating in the mounted state and prevent the clip 1 from loosening or coming off due to vibration of the vehicle body.

Referring to FIGS. 3 (a) to (g), the second clip member 7 is shown viewed from various directions, and the second clip member 7 is formed to be hollow so as to receive the stud 5. , Is formed into a tubular body as a whole. The clip member 7 includes an engaging portion 15 of the leg portion 9 and an engaging portion 16 of the stud 5. The leg portion engaging portion 15 is formed into a rectangular tubular body formed into a substantially rectangular shape as a whole, and the leg portion engaging portion 15 has a leg portion of the first clip member 6 on the outer side of the stud receiving hole 17. Through holes 18, 18 are formed to receive the portions 9, 9. Therefore, the leg portion 9,
9 can be inserted. Each through hole 18 is provided with a locking claw 19 that locks with the locking claw 11 of the inserted leg portion 9. Although this locking claw 19 may be located at any position of the through hole 18, it is formed on the outlet side of the hole 18 as shown in the drawings in view of the ease of inserting the leg portion 9 and the strength of the locking force. Preferably. Further, slits 20, 20 are preferably formed in the locking claw portion so that the locking claw 19 can be easily bent.

The stud engagement portion 16 of the second clip member 7 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape as a whole, and a stud receiving hole 17 continuous from the leg portion engagement portion 15 is formed inside thereof. And
In the stud receiving hole 17, a locking claw 22 that locks in the valley (or groove) of the received stud 5 is formed. It is preferable that a pair of the locking claws 22 are formed as shown in the drawings in order to balance the ease of insertion into the stud and the strength of the locking force. Further, slits 23, 23 (see FIG. 3A) are formed on both sides of the locking claw 22 so as to be easily bent. In the stud engaging portion 16, the outer surface of the portion with the locking claw 22 is formed on the inclined surface 24 that is inclined outward in the radial direction of the engaging portion 16 and away from the leg partial engaging portion 15. The distal end of the leg portion 9 extending from the through hole 18 of the leg portion engaging portion 15 further expands radially outward as the tip portion of the leg portion 9 further extends. The inclined surface 24 can be provided at an appropriate position on the outer surface of the stud engaging portion 16 as long as the tip portion of the leg portion 9 hits and expands outward in the radial direction.

Temporary fastening is completed at all places, and the carpet 2 and the insulator 3 as plate-like bodies are replaced by the vehicle body 4 as panels.
When the clip 1 is placed in the proper position, the clip 1 is moved from the temporary fastening state shown in FIG. 4 to the final fastening state shown in FIG. That is, the flange 8 of the first clip member 6 is pushed from the carpet 2 until the protrusion 13 on the lower surface of the flange pierces the carpet 2. When the pin-shaped projection 13 pierces the carpet 2, the first clip member 6 is prevented from rotating due to the vibration of the vehicle body 4 or the like, whereby the rotation of the entire clip 1 is also prevented, and the clip 1 is not loosened or removed. To be prevented.

FIG. 5 shows a final fastening state in which the flange 8 is pushed in. In this final fastening state, the tip end portion of the leg portion 9 of the first clip member 6 is bent outward in the radial direction by the inclined surface 24 of the second clip member and sunk into the gap between the insulator 3 and the vehicle body 4. . FIG. 6 shows the case where the carpet 2 and the insulator 3 as plate-like bodies are in the same final fastening state but the overall thickness is thinner than that in FIG. In this case, comparing with the leg portion 9 of FIG. 4,
The length of diving into the gap between the insulator 3 and the vehicle body 4 is long. Therefore, if the length of the leg portion 9 is set to be considerably longer than the thickness of the plate-shaped body (the total thickness of the carpet 2 and the insulator 3), even if the plate-shaped body thickness is changed, the same clip is used. The plate-shaped body can be attached to the panel (vehicle body 4).

If the stud 5 is a threaded stud and the clip 1 is to be removed from the vehicle body 4, a coin or the like is engaged with the recess 12 provided on the upper surface of the flange 8 of the second clip member 7 so that the protrusion 13 When the flange 8 is rotated with a force stronger than the rotation blocking force, the entire clip 1 rotates,
The engagement of the locking claw 22 with the screw stud 5 moves along the screw thread to release the engagement, and the clip 1 is disengaged from the stud 5.

[Effect of device]
