Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a novel clip that can easily fix, with a single member, a wiring harness disposed along an automobile body panel or an interior trim fixed to the automobile body panel.

A conventional car body panel, for example, a rear panel 1 as shown in Figs.
In order to fix the harness 3 around the rear lamp 2, the harness 3 is held by a band-shaped clamp 4 and fixed with a harness-dedicated clip 5 inserted through the flange portion 1a of the rear panel 1. Further, the trim 6 made of board material is attached to the harness-dedicated clip 5 by another trim-fixing resin clip 7 inserted through the flange portion 1a of the rear panel 1.
is fixed at the same level. Therefore, first fix harness 3, then trim 6.
The procedure was to use two clips 5 and 7 separately to fix the clip. Alternatively, it is possible to use a single clip to fix the clamp 4 of the harness 3 and the trim 6 at the same time, but after the trim 6 is brought into contact with the rear panel 1, the clamp 4 should be fixed. Mounting hole 4a and trim 6
It is extremely difficult to match the mounting holes 6a of the two, making it difficult to use.

Therefore, in the conventional work procedure, it is necessary to attach the trim 6 and harness 3 to the rear panel 1 side of the vehicle body panel etc. using two types of special clips: the resin clip 7 dedicated to trim fixing and the clip 5 dedicated to harness. As the number of assembly steps increased, the number of parts also increased, resulting in a cost disadvantage.

Furthermore, the trim 6 had to be fixed to the flange portion 1a of the vehicle body panel by inserting a large number of clips 7 one by one, and the attachment required a lot of time.

This idea was created by focusing on the problems of the conventional clip, and includes a clip part for attaching a car body panel at one end of the horizontal part, and a clip part for attaching a harness to the other end, at the lower center of the clip body. Some clips have a structure in which a trim pressing fixing part is drilled in the clip, and the trim and the wire harness can be pressed at the same time with one clip.

This invention will be explained below based on the drawings.

3 to 6 show one embodiment of this invention.

FIG. 3 shows a trim 12, in which a notch 12a having approximately the same size as the width of the clip body 8, which will be described later, is formed in the upper part. FIG. 4 shows a clip main body 8 having the following configuration. Reference numeral 9 designates a panel mounting clip portion provided at one end of the horizontal portion of the clip main body 8, which can be attached in one-touch type by elastic force to the inner peripheral edge of the through hole 1b of the flange portion 1a of the rear panel 1, which has the flange portion 1a bent inward. It has a pair of tapered elastic pieces 9a, 9a and a base piece 9c that can be easily fitted and locked by pressing, and comes into contact with the outer peripheral edge of the through hole 1b, and the through hole 1b
and a clip bent portion 9b having a size that covers the clip. Reference numeral 10 denotes a harness attachment clip portion provided at the other end of the horizontal portion of the clip body 8, which is configured to be able to clamp and lock the harness 3 by the elastic clamping force of a pair of arcuate clamping pieces 10a, 10a. There is. Reference numeral 11 denotes a trim pressing fixing part that stands approximately at the center of the lower part of the clip main body 8 between the panel mounting clip part 9 and the harness mounting clip part 10;
Press the lower part of the notch 12a of the trim 12. This trim pressing fixing part 11 has a protrusion 11a formed on the end side surface so that the trim 12 can be pressed against the flange part 1a of the rear panel 1. The clip main body 8 having such a structure is integrally formed as a whole from a flexible synthetic resin member having appropriate elasticity.
Note that 13 is a trunk lid, and 2 is a rear lamp. In addition, the above-mentioned panel mounting clip part 9
is not limited to that of this example,
There is no particular limitation as long as it has a structure that can be easily attached to the through hole 1b on the rear panel 1 side by one-touch pressing.

Next, the operation of the clip of the present invention will be explained.

First, the panel attachment clip portion 9 of the clip body 8 is pressed and inserted into the through hole 1b of the flange portion 1a of the rear panel 1 toward the rear of the vehicle body (right side in FIG. 6). Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the elastic pieces 9a, 9a of the panel attachment clip portion 9 are fitted and locked to the inner circumferential edge of the through hole 1b, and the clip body 8 is securely attached to the rear panel 1. Next, a pair of clamping pieces 10 of the harness attachment clip part 10 of the clip body 8
The harness 3 is fitted and attached between a and 10a with a single touch operation.

Thus, in order to attach the trim 12 to the rear panel 1, the notch 12 provided at the upper end of the trim 12 is
While aligning a with the clip body 8, attach the rear panel 1.
Insert the panel 1 into the rear panel 1 from below upwards between the flange part 1a and the trim press fixing part 11. Then, the trim 12 is attached to the rear panel 1 by the elastic clamping action between the flange portion 1a and the protrusion 11a of the trim pressing and fixing portion 11. Then, the lower end of the trim 12 is attached to the vehicle body panel using a separate clip (not shown) in the same manner as in the conventional method. Therefore, the harness 3 and the trim 12 can be attached to the rear panel 1 at the same time with just one clip, without using two dedicated clips as in the conventional example, and there is no need for a special tightening operation. It becomes possible to attach the trim 12 and the harness 3 to the rear panel 1 only by a fitting operation.

As explained above, according to this invention, the clip structure is such that a trim pressing fixing part for pressing and clamping the trim to the car body panel is provided between the car body panel mounting clip and the harness mounting clip part, so that the harness can be attached easily. The trim can be attached at the same time with one-touch pressing operation using a single clip, which improves the clip attachment workability on site and reduces the number of installation steps, and also reduces costs by reducing the number of attachment parts.

Further, according to this invention, since the trim can be attached to the vehicle body panel side by a simple insertion method, the work of replacing trim parts can be performed extremely quickly and easily.
