Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Industrial field of use" The present invention relates to an improvement of a mounting structure for removably mounting an exterior component of an automobile to a predetermined panel.

"Prior Art" As a conventional mounting structure of this type, for example, there is one shown in JP-A-56-6906.

Although not specifically shown, the conventional mounting structure is based on the premise that a radiator grill, which is an automobile exterior component, is mounted on a vehicle body panel by using a separately molded synthetic resin clip body. The body is configured such that anchor-shaped elastic locking legs are integrally provided on both sides of the flange portion, and a groove portion into which a tool such as a flat-blade screwdriver is inserted is formed at a tip end portion of one elastic locking leg.

When actually fixing the radiator grill to the panel, one of the elastic locking legs of the clip body is locked in the socket hole provided on the rear side of the radiator grill, and then the other of the clip body is locked. The radiator grill is attached to the panel by locking the elastic locking legs of the above into the mounting holes formed on the panel side.

In addition, when it is necessary to remove the radiator grill during maintenance of the radiator, etc., insert the tip of tools from the socket hole into the groove formed at the tip of one elastic locking leg, The radiator grille can be removed from the panel by twisting the tools together with the clip body by about 90 ° to release the lock of the other elastic locking leg of the clip body with respect to the mounting hole. .

"Problems to be solved by the device" However, in the conventional mounting structure, when removing the radiator grill from the panel, it is necessary to twist the tools 90 degrees to forcibly rotate the clip body,
Not only the removal work itself becomes troublesome, but even if the tools are twisted, the locking of the other elastic locking leg with respect to the mounting hole cannot be released smoothly.

In addition, when a radiator grill is attached, a plurality of clips are usually used. Therefore, under such a structure, a manufacturing error may occur between the socket hole on the radiator grill side and the mounting hole on the panel side. If this happens, this error cannot be absorbed by the clip body itself, so it is not possible to install the radiator grill in the correct center position due to the above error, or the installation state of the radiator grill is unstable. There was a big problem such as

"Means for Solving the Problems" Therefore, the present invention was developed to effectively solve the conventional problems, and is based on a clip structure based on a mounting structure in which parts are mounted on a panel via a clip body. The body is composed of a first member and a second member that are individually fixed to the component side and the panel side, and the first member is provided with a fixing means at one end of the base and is fixed at the other end of the base from the base. The elastic arm piece extending while maintaining the distance between the elastic arm piece and the free end portion of the elastic arm piece is formed with a locking shoulder portion and a positioning claw portion, respectively. A through hole that matches the attachment hole formed on the side or the panel side is formed, and row teeth for engaging the positioning claw portion of the elastic arm piece are formed on the inner wall surface of the through hole. .

Therefore, in the present invention, the first member is temporarily fixed to the component side via the fixing means, the second member is fixed to the panel side, and the substrate of the first member is the other end. When inserted into the mounting hole of the panel from the side through the insertion hole of the second member, the elastic arm piece of the first member is inserted while bending downward, and the locking shoulder portion of itself is positioned at the edge of the mounting hole of the panel. Since it is elastically locked, this ensures that the component is attached to the panel.

In addition, at the time of such insertion, for example, when there is a manufacturing error between the mounting position on the component side and the mounting position on the panel, the elastic arm piece is bent downward to grip the component. However, if the first member is moved in the predetermined direction within the insertion hole of the second member, the error can be effectively absorbed, and after the error is absorbed, the elastic arm piece is formed. Since the positioning claw portion is engaged with the corresponding portion of the row teeth formed on the inner wall surface of the insertion hole, and the first member and the second member are integrated in an ideal state, the parts are always It will be attached to the correct center position in a stable state.

Then, when it becomes necessary to remove the component, the free end portion of the elastic arm piece protruding from the insertion hole of the second member may be linearly pressed downward with the tip of tools such as a flat-blade screwdriver. Since the engaging shoulder portion of the elastic arm piece is easily disengaged from the hole edge of the mounting hole of the panel, after that, if the first member in such a state is pulled out from the insertion hole of the second member, the component is removed from the panel. It can be easily removed.

[Example] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to an illustrated example. In the mounting structure according to the example, a resin radiator grill, which is an automobile exterior component, is attached to a vehicle body panel via a clip body. However, the feature is that the clip body has the following configuration.

That is, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the resin first member 1 for fixing the clip body to the radiator grill side and the resin second member 11 for fixing to the vehicle body panel side.
In the former first member 1, an anchor-shaped elastic locking leg 3 is provided at one end of the plate-shaped base body 2 for locking a mounting hole formed on the back side of the radiator grill. At the other end of the base body 2, one elastic arm piece 4 extending from the base body 2 to one end side while maintaining a constant distance is provided, and the panel 23 is provided on the upper side of the free end portion of the elastic arm piece 4. A locking shoulder portion 5 that locks on the hole edge of the mounting hole 24 that is bored in is formed, and at the tip of the shoulder portion 5, a positioning claw portion 6 that engages with a tooth to be described later, a minus driver, etc. It is configured to form the insertion groove 7 into which the tips of tools are inserted.

In addition, the latter second member 11 includes panels 23 on both sides of the plate-shaped base 12.
A pair of anchor-shaped elastic locking legs 13 that lock in locking holes 25 formed on the side are provided, and a panel 23 is provided at the center of the base 12.
The insertion hole 14 that matches the mounting hole 24 of the
The row teeth 15 for engaging the positioning claw portion 6 of the elastic arm piece 4 are continuously formed on the upper inner wall surface of the.
The insertion hole 14 of the second member 11 and the mounting hole 24 of the panel 23
As shown in the figure, each has a rectangular shape and is set to have a width dimension that allows the lateral movement of the plate-shaped base body 2 of the first member 1.

Therefore, by using the first member 1 and the second member 11 having such a configuration,
When the radiator grill 21 is attached to the vehicle body panel 23, first, as shown in FIG. 2, the anchor-shaped elastic locking legs of the first member 1 are inserted into the mounting holes 22 formed on the rear side of the radiator grill 21. 3 is locked and the first member 1 is attached to the radiator grill 21.
On the other hand, the elastic locking legs 13 of the second member 11 are locked in the locking holes 25 of the panel 23 to fix the second member 11 to the panel 23.

Then, when the plate-shaped substrate 2 of the first member 1 is inserted into the mounting hole 24 of the panel 23 from the other end side through the insertion hole 14 of the second member 11, as shown in FIGS. The arm piece 4 is inserted while flexing downward, and the locking shoulder portion 5 is attached to the mounting hole of the panel 23.
After passing through the hole edge of 24, the shoulder 5 is elastically locked to the hole edge of the mounting hole 24 of the panel 23 by the restoring force of the elastic arm piece 4, whereby the radiator grill 21 is fixed to the panel 23. It will be surely attached to.

In addition, when such insertion, for example, the radiator grill 21
When there is a manufacturing error between the mounting hole 22 on the side and the mounting hole 24 of the panel 23, while holding the radiator grill 21, the elastic arm piece 4 is bent downward. By moving the base body 2 of the first member 1 left and right within the insertion hole 14 of the second member 11, the error can be effectively absorbed, and after the error is absorbed, the elastic arm piece 4 is The positioning claw portion 6 formed on the free end side firmly engages with the corresponding portion of the row tooth 15 formed on the upper inner wall surface of the insertion hole 14, and the first member 1 and the second member 11 Since they are integrated into an ideal state, the radiator grille 21 is always attached to the correct center position in a stable state.

Even in the present embodiment, the radiator grille is formed by using a plurality of clip bodies composed of the first member 1 and the second member 11.
Since 21 is attached to panel 23, the error absorbing action of the clip body is extremely important for attaching radiator grill 21.

When it is necessary to remove the radiator grill 21 for maintenance of the radiator, the elastic arm pieces 4 protruding from the insertion holes 14 of the second member 11 can be freely moved as shown in FIG. By inserting the tip of a tool 26 such as a flat head screwdriver into the insertion groove 7 formed at the end and linearly pressing the elastic arm piece 4 downward, the shoulder portion 5 of the elastic arm piece 4 is Is easily removed from the edge of the mounting hole 24 of the panel 23, the first member 1 in such a state is then inserted into the insertion hole of the second member 11.
When pulled out from 14, the radiator grill 21 can be easily removed from the panel 23.

Moreover, when the radiator grill 21 is removed, the first member 1 is fixed to the radiator grill 21 and the second member 11 is fixed to the panel 23, so that there is no need to worry about separation and loss. To reuse the radiator grill, simply repeat the work described above.
It is possible to attach 21 to panel 23 again.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the elastic arm piece 4 is simply used as a tool.
Radiator grille just by pressing straight through 26
Since the panel 21 can be removed from the panel 23, its workability is greatly simplified even if a large number of clip bodies are used.

In the above embodiment, the first member 1 is fixed to the radiator grill 21 and the second member 11 is fixed to the panel 23, but the first member 1 is fixed to the panel 23 under the same conditions. Then, even if the second member 11 is fixed to the radiator grill 21, the same operation and effect can be obtained, and the elastic locking legs 3 and 13 provided on the first member 1 and the second member 11 serve as fixing means. However, changing to other means is also optional depending on the implementation.

“Effect of device” As described above, according to the mounting structure of the present invention,
Even if the clip body itself is not forcibly rotated by twisting the tools, the elastic arm piece of the first member, which is inserted into the insertion hole of the second member, is merely pressed downward, and the elastic arm piece is pressed. Since it is possible to easily remove the locking shoulder portion of the above from the hole edge of the mounting hole, the removal work of the radiator grill is greatly simplified as compared with the conventional one.

Moreover, in the present invention, even if a manufacturing error occurs between the mounting location on the component side and the mounting location on the panel, for example, the downward bending of the elastic arm piece is obtained and the first member is moved to the second position. By moving within the insertion hole of the member, the error can be effectively absorbed, and after absorbing the error, the positioning claw portion of the elastic arm piece is not moved to the teeth of the row teeth formed on the inner wall surface of the insertion hole. Since the first member and the second member are integrated into an ideal state by engaging with the corresponding portion, the component is always attached to the correct center position in a stable state.
