Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the number of part items and the number of dies by providing an electric wire holding clipper in a mounting plate supported by a clamper on a wall plate-like mounting member and making the angle of the mounting plate adjustable in accordance with the angle of the mounting member. SOLUTION: The anchor part 14 of a second mounting plate 5 is fitted between the anchor parts 10, 11 of a first mounting plate 3, and when a pin 16 is inserted therethrough from the lower side, two sheets of locking projections 17 are locked to a locking projection 18 inside the anchor part 14, so that a hinge mechanism 6 is assembled. The mounting plates 3, 5 are adjusted for the angle α of the mounting member of an intermediate part 41, and after that, when a stopper 19 is pressed against the hinge mechanism 6 from the upper side, locking projections 20, 21, 22 are locked to lock holes 12, 13, 15, so that an angle lock mechanism 7 is assembled and the mounting plates 3, 5 are fixed while maintaining the desired angle α. Next, after an electric wire 30 is united and held by a uniting band 23, a clamper 2 is pressed against the mounting hole 42 of the intermediate part 41. Accordingly, it can be stably supported on the mounting member, and at the same time the number of part items and the number of dies are reduced, thereby being able to accomplish the cost reduction.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an angle-controllable clip in which a mounting plate for holding an electric wire such as a wire harness is provided so that the angle can be changed corresponding to the mounting member angle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an angle clip for holding an electric wire such as a wire harness and fixing it to a mounting plate is shown in FIG.
And various things as shown in FIG. 8 are known. FIG. 7 is an assembled perspective view showing an example of a conventional angle clip, and FIG. 8 is an explanatory view showing a mounting state of the angle clip in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the angle clip 51 includes an interior portion 41 which is a mounting member for a vehicle body of an automobile.
It has a mounting plate 53 supported by. The mounting plate 53 has a binding band 23 as a clipper for holding an electric wire, and a side surface opposite to the side surface on which the binding band 23 is formed and has flexibility for fixing to the interior portion 41. An anchor-shaped clamper 2 is integrally provided. The mounting plate 53 is bent in accordance with the mounting member angle α of the interior portion 41.

More specifically, the clamper 2 of the pillar portion 8 is supported so that when the clamper 2 is pressed from the outside into a mounting hole 42 provided in a wall plate-shaped interior portion 41 of a vehicle body or the like, the clamper 2 is hooked on the inner surface of the clamper 2. Spring plates 9 that are flexibly displaced are provided on both sides. A binding band 23 for holding the electric wire 30 is provided on the outer surface of the portion of the mounting plate 53 that is bent in accordance with the mounting member angle α. The binding band 23 has a structure similar to that of a commercially available binding band, and when the tip of the band portion 25 is inserted into a base portion 24 corresponding to a buckle and pulled, a sawtooth engagement is provided on the outer peripheral portion of the band portion 25. The step portion 26 is locked by the tooth portion of the engaging tongue (not shown) so as not to loosen.

In the angle clip 51 having the above structure,
After the electric wire 30 is tightened and held by the binding band 23, the clamper 2 is pressed from the outer surface into the mounting hole 42 of the interior portion 41. Then, when the spring plate 9 once bends inward and then returns, the mounting plate 53 is held corresponding to the mounting member angle α of the interior portion 41. Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the interior portion 41 is attached to the wall plate-shaped exterior portion 43 bent at the same angle α as the interior portion 41, and the interior assembly is completed. At this time, the electric wire 30 is in a state of being sandwiched between the mounting plate 53 and the exterior part 43, and the bending angle α of the mounting plate 53 and the mounting member angle α of the interior part 41 are coincident with each other. 51 is stably held in the interior portion 41.

[0006]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional angle clip 51, when the attachment member angle α of the interior portion 41 changes, the bending angle of the attachment plate 53 is fixed, which makes it impossible to cope with the change. There is a problem that the retention property to 41 becomes unstable. In addition, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, various mounting angles α,
It is necessary to prepare an angle clip having bending angles α, β, γ, etc. corresponding to β, γ, etc., which increases the number of parts and the number of molds, leading to cost increase. is there.

The object of the present invention was made in view of the above problems, and even if the angle of the mounting member on the mounting member side changes, the angle of the mounting plate can be freely adjusted correspondingly. To provide clips.

[0008]

The above object of the present invention is to provide a wall plate-shaped mounting member with a clipper for holding an electric wire by a mounting plate supported by a clamper, and the mounting plate having the mounting member angle. In the angle clip bent corresponding to, the angle of the mounting plate can be freely adjusted corresponding to the angle of the mounting member.

According to the angle-adjustable clip having the above structure,
Since the angle of the mounting plate can be freely adjusted according to various mounting member angles, it can be used for mounting members having various types and various angles. Therefore, the electric wire held by the clipper can be stably supported by the mounting member, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced by reducing the number of parts and the number of molds.

Further, the mounting plate is divided into a first mounting plate having the clamper and a second mounting plate having the clipper, and the first and second mounting plates are mutually angled by a butterfly plate mechanism. This can be achieved by being variably connected and provided with an angle locking mechanism for maintaining and setting a desired angle.

According to the angle-adjustable clip having the above structure,
Even if the mounting member angle of the mounting member changes, the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate are variably connected by the butterfly mechanism, and the desired angle can be maintained and set by the angle locking mechanism. Therefore, the electric wire held by the clipper can be stably supported by the mounting member, and the number of parts and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

The clipper may be an electric wire holding plate for holding a binding band or an electric wire together with a tape. According to the angle-adjustable clip having the above structure, the band-type angle-adjustable clip for binding and holding electric wires can be used in the case of a binding band, and the wire can be attached to the wire holding plate in the case of the wire holding plate. In addition, it is possible to adapt to the use of a tape-type angle-free clip that is co-wound with tape. Therefore, by preparing a small number of molds, it is possible to deal with multiple purposes.
