Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] A. Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a clip suitable for detachably connecting a part of a headlamp door to the fender of an automobile.

B. Prior Art For example, when replacing the headlights of a car, it is necessary to remove the headlamp door, which is partially attached to the fender, but if the joint between the fender and the headlamp door is visible from the outside, it looks unsightly. The two members are connected by screws or the like so that the joint portion is not visible from the outside. Therefore, attaching and detaching the headlamp door to the fender when replacing the headlamp becomes a blind operation, which is time consuming and extremely complicated.

C. Purpose of the invention: When a part of a headlamp door is joined to the fender of an automobile, even if this joined part is not visible from the outside, it is possible to easily attach and detach this joined part from the outside.

D. Structure of the invention A plate-shaped part formed on the back side of the fender installation side of a headlamp door is detachably connected to a plate-shaped part of an automobile fender, and a flat S.
A stop piece is formed by bending it into a letter shape to form a stop piece extending in opposite directions on both sides of the base, and on the inner surface of both stop pieces, each plate-shaped part of the fender and headlamp door is inserted between the base and each stop piece. A locking protrusion is formed to fit into and lock with the locking hole formed in the locking hole, and the end of the locking piece located on the headlamp door side of the above-mentioned both locking pieces extends diagonally outward, and its tip is fitted into the locking hole formed in the A release tongue is provided to fit into the inner edge of the flange portion of the headlamp door, and by pushing the release tongue outward by an appropriate means, the locking hole in the plate-shaped portion of the headlamp door is opened. By removing the locking protrusion of the stopper that is fitted into and locked into the locking hole from the locking hole, the connection state of the headlamp door to the fender is removed.

E. Embodiment FIGS. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a fender of an automobile, 2 is a headlamp, and 3 is a headlamp door attached around the headlamp 2. This headlamp door 3 has one side attached to a body member (not shown) using a mounting tongue piece 4. (omitted), and the other side is attached to the fender 1 using the clip 5. Clip 5 above
is an elastically deformable band-shaped resin-molded integral product, which is bent into a flat S-shape to form stop pieces 7a, 7b extending in opposite directions on both sides of the base 6, and both stop pieces 7a, Locking protrusions 8a and 8b are formed on the inner surface of the locking plate 7b, and the end of the locking piece 7b, which is located on the headlamp door 3 side, is extended obliquely outward to release the locking part. A release tongue 9 is provided, and a notch 11 is formed at the tip of the release tongue 9 to fit into the inner edge of the flange 10 of the headlamp door 3. A clip 5 is attached to the plate-shaped portion 12 of the fender 1 which is the headlamp door connection part.
A hole 13 for insertion of the stopper piece 7a and a hole 14 into which the locking protrusion 8a is fitted and locked are formed. Further, on the plate-shaped portion 15 which is a protruding piece on the back side of the headlamp door 3 on the side where the fender is attached, there is a retaining piece 7 of the clip 5.
A hole 16 is formed into which the locking protrusion 8b of b is inserted and locked.

Then, when attaching the headlamp door 3 to the fender 1, attach the retaining piece 7a of the clip 5.
into the plate-like part 12 of the fender 1 through the insertion hole 13
The clip 5 is fixed to the fender 1 by inserting the clip 5 into the fender 1 by inserting the locking protrusion 8a of the stopper piece 7a into the hole 14 and locking it. Thereafter, the plate-shaped portion 15 of the headlamp door 3 is inserted between the base 6 of the clip 5 and the locking piece 7b, and the locking protrusion 8b is fitted into the hole 16 and locked, and the notch 11 of the release tongue piece 9 is inserted. is fitted into the inner edge of the flange 10 of the headlamp door 3, and at the same time the headlamp door 3 is attached to the fender 1, the notch 11 of the release tongue 9 is inserted into the flange 10 of the headlamp door 3, as described above. The rigidity of this joint is improved by fitting it into the inner edge of the joint.

When replacing the headlamp 2, the tip of the release tongue 9 of the clip 5 that has reached the inner edge of the flange portion 10 of the headlamp door 3 is
As shown in FIG. 2, push the notch 11 outward from the inner edge of the flange 10 by pushing it with the tip of a rod-shaped member 17 such as a screwdriver inserted through the gap formed between the flange 10 and the headlamp 2. After that,
Further push in the release tongue piece 9. Then, the locking protrusion 8b of the locking piece 7b of the clip 5 comes off from the hole 16 of the plate-shaped portion 15 of the headlamp door 3. Thereafter, the headlamp door 3 is pulled forward and the plate-shaped portion 15 is pulled out from between the base 6 of the clip 5 and the stopper 7b, and the headlamp door 3 is removed from the fender 1.

Effects of the invention If the clip according to the invention is used, the joining part between the fender and the headlamp door is not visible from the outside, and the appearance is extremely good. In addition, the connection between the fender and headlamp door can be released from the outside by simply pushing the clip release tongue a little, making it extremely simple and easy to attach and detach the headlamp door to the fender, making it possible to quickly attach and detach the headlamp door. can be done.
