Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a holder such as a plastic board suitable for mounting a board having a large degree of expansion and contraction due to temperature rise and fall.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, when a highly elastic plate such as a plastic cowl cover is attached to an opening of an automobile body, a mounting tool 50 as shown in FIG. 7 has been used.

That is, it has a head flange 51 that comes into contact with the upper surface of the mounting hole provided in the mounted member and a fixing portion 52 that fits into the mounting hole, and the fixing portion 52 has one of the opposite opening edges of the mounting hole. A locking piece 53 elastically engaged with the elastic leg piece 54 and an elastic leg piece 54 elastically engaged with the other opposite opening edge are provided, and the elastic leg piece 54 is formed by pushing the fixing portion 52 into the mounting hole. The locking piece 53 is engaged with the opening edge to fix the fixture 50 at the center position of the attachment hole, and a plate is placed on the fixture 50 and fixed by tapping screws or the like.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the above-described fixture 50 has an elastic locking piece 53 and an elastic leg piece.
Since 54 is provided on each side surface of the fixture 50, there is a case where the elastic locking piece 53 and the elastic locking piece 54 do not necessarily contact with the hole edge of the mounting hole at right angles. Yes, especially when the width of the locking piece 53 and the leg piece 54 is narrow, this tendency is strong,
The fixture 50 was unstable with respect to the mounting plate.

Further, when the plate attached to the fixture 50 with screws is expanded or contracted not only in the front, rear, left and right, but especially in the diagonal direction of the legs, the expansion and contraction cannot be absorbed by the locking piece 53 and the fixture is There were problems such as the rotation of 50 and displacement from the initial position.

In view of the inconvenience of the above-described mounting tool, the present invention is stable without rotating due to a locking piece that abuts in the vicinity of each corner of the hole edge of the mounting hole and uniformly presses in the diagonal direction as well as front, rear, left and right. It is an object of the present invention to provide a holder such as a plate that holds a state.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is provided with a holder 1 such as a plate integrally with a collar-shaped head 2 and a lower surface of the head 2 in a vertically extending manner. And a leg portion 3 having a quadrangular cross section, a hole 5 for mounting screw is provided from the head portion 2 toward the leg portion 3,
One of the opposite side surfaces 3a of the leg portion 3 is inclined toward the head 2 side from the lower end portions of both corners of the leg portion 3 and is gradually inclined away from the side surface 3a of the leg portion 3 and is orthogonal to the side surface 3a. Elastic locking pieces 4 are provided in parallel so as to project laterally from a side surface 3b of the leg portion 3, that is, a virtual extension surface of the side surface 3b continuous with the side surface 3a. In addition, the leg portion 3 is attached to the tip of the elastic locking piece 4.
On the side opposite to the side facing to, there is provided a locking step portion 4'which is dropped in a step shape.

[Operation] In the holder 1 such as a plate having the above-described configuration, when the legs 3 are inserted into the rectangular mounting holes C of the mounted member A, the elastic locking pieces 4 are elastically deformed and inserted, respectively. Lower surface of 2 is attached member A
, The tip of the elastic locking piece 4 is in the mounting hole C, and the locking step portion 4 ′ of the elastic locking piece 4 is resilient to each corner of the edge of the mounting hole C. It is locked in the state.

Therefore, when the plate B attached to the holder 1 by the screws D expands and contracts not only in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction but also in all directions such as the oblique direction, the holder 1 is elastically deformed by the elastic locking piece 4 Absorb.

Further, even when the plate B is distorted in the vertical direction due to the expansion and contraction, the elastic locking piece 4 is elastically deformed to keep the mounting state stable.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of a holder such as a plate according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a plastic holder, which has a rectangular plate-shaped head 2 and a head 2 which is smaller than the head 2 hung vertically on the lower surface of the head 2 and has a horizontal cross section whose longitudinal direction is the head. 2 and a rectangular leg portion 3 in the same direction as the head portion 2, and the head portion 2 protrudes from the leg portion 3 in a brim-like shape. The part 2'is provided parallel to the short side 2a.

A pair of elastic locking pieces 4, 4 from the short side of the leg portion 3, that is, the lower end portions of both corners of the opposite side surfaces 3a, 3a toward the head portion 2.
Are provided so as to be inclined away from the side surface 3a of the leg portion 3, and the elastic locking pieces 4, 4 are juxtaposed at regular intervals, and the elastic locking pieces 4 and the other elastic locking piece 4 are arranged in an upward direction. The side surface 3b is gradually widened to the opposite side and orthogonal to the side surface 3a, that is, the side surface 3b is projected from the virtual extension surface of the side surface 3b continuous to the side surface 3a.

That is, the upper surface of the elastic locking pieces 4, 4 provided in parallel opposite to each other and opposite to each other is continuous with the side surface 3a on which the elastic locking piece 4 is provided. It is configured to protrude further laterally from the virtual extension surface of 3b.

In addition, a locking step portion 4 ′ facing the opposite side of the side surface 3 a of the leg portion 3 is provided at the upper end of the elastic locking piece 4, and the locking step portion 4 ′ is locked at the hole edge of the mounting hole C. It is supposed to do. The upper end surface of the elastic locking piece 4 constituting the locking step portion 4 ′ faces the lower surface of the head portion 2, and the peripheral edge portion is chamfered to smoothly receive the hole edge.

Further, the side surface 3a is provided with a rib-shaped ridge 7 having a square cross section from the lower surface of the head 2 to the lower end of the leg 3 at a central position between the elastic locking pieces 4, 4.

Further, a wide hole 5 is provided in the longitudinal direction of the head 2 from the head 2 to near the lower ends of the legs 3, and both wide side surfaces of the hole 5 are provided.
A plurality of ridges 6 having a semicircular cross section are provided on 5a at equal intervals in the vertical direction, and the ridges 6 and 6 on both surfaces 5a and 5a form a pair so as to face each other.
The portions partitioned by the ridges 6 are formed as tapping screw threading sections 5 ', respectively, so that the mounting position of the holder 1 can be adjusted by the tapping screws.

The holder 1 configured as described above has the leg portion 3 in the mounting hole C provided in the mounted member A such as a plate of a vehicle body.

Then, a plate B such as a cowl cover is placed on the holder 1
A tapping screw is screwed into and attached to a section 5'of the hole 5 at a position corresponding to the screw hole of the plate. The elastic locking piece 4 is arranged diagonally with respect to the holder 1 and the mounting hole. Therefore, the elastic locking piece 4 elastically deforms and responds to expansion and contraction of the plate B in all directions, and is not displaced from the mounting hole.

[Effects] A holder such as a plate according to the present invention comprises a collar-shaped head and a leg having a substantially rectangular cross section that is hung vertically from the lower surface of the head, and extends from the head toward the leg. There are holes for mounting screws,
To the side surface of the leg portion, that is, the side surface of the leg portion that is inclined from the lower end portions of both corners of one of the facing side portions of the leg portion toward the head and gradually separates from the side surface of the leg portion, and is orthogonal to the side surface. Since elastic locking pieces that partially protrude from the upper side toward the side from the virtual extension surface of the continuous side surface are provided in a juxtaposed manner in parallel rows, for example, a plate that constitutes the vehicle body of an automobile. By pressing the legs of the holder into the mounting holes provided in this plate as the mounted member, the elastic locking pieces are locked to the corners of the mounting holes at diagonal positions thereof. Since it can be mounted, it has a function of adjusting the mounting position and can be mounted in a stable state without rotating.

In addition, since the elastic locking pieces are arranged diagonally with respect to the cross section of the leg of the holder and are in contact with the diagonal of the mounting hole, the plastic board or the board mounted on the head of the mounting tool is used. Even if the cowl cover, which is made of a plate with high expansion and contraction, expands and contracts due to temperature changes in any direction, such as the direction perpendicular to the mounting hole edge or the oblique direction, and the holder moves together with the cowl cover. The elastic locking piece is elastically deformable, so that it is possible to cope with a change in the distance between the plate and the hole edge.

Further, the elastic deformation of the elastic locking piece can cope with a vertical change due to expansion and contraction of a plate such as a cowl cover.
