Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent natural looseness in fitting between a clip and an object on which the clip is fitted and prevent abnormal sound from being produced by providing on both sides of the clip with fixing parts rising obliquely from retaining plate inward to oppose each other with their tips provided with teeth and with the opposite side of the teeth provided with arm parts to form a clip. CONSTITUTION:After fitting a base metal or a metal bracket 22 over a rib-like projection 21 of an object over which a clip 10 is to be fitted, the clip 10 is fitted. Here, the clip 10 is manually held by the raised part 16 and depressed so that the rib-like projection 21 is inserted between engage-retaining teeth 13. And oblique arm parts 14 are brought into contact with the metal bracket 22 so that a gap X between the metal bracket and a retaining plate 11 is closed and a condition of constantly being resiliently pressed is maintained. As described above, the clip 10 is formed by providing on both sides of the retaining plate 11 made of a thin elastic sheet material with fixing parts 12, providing with the engage-retaining teeth 13 at the other ends of the fixing parts 12, and providing with arm parts 14 in the opposite direction to the teeth 13.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a mounting structure for an exterior component that is particularly effective for mounting a joint plate for the exterior of a vehicle body.

(Prior art) Exterior parts of automobile bodies include moldings, bumpers, emblems, and other parts with varying shapes, but all of them are fixed using clips, screws, or brackets. There is.

For example, according to Japanese Utility Model Application No. 56-46445, a protrusion is formed on the inner surface of the bumper, an extension part is provided on the mounting clip that contacts the protrusion, and the clip is secured to the mounting part provided on the bumper and the vehicle body. There is a proposal to fix the joint, or the Utility Model 57-1
In No. 55308, as shown in FIG. 4, the tooth body 3 presses the suppressing part 2 of the snap-type fastener 1 with a finger and applies force from above and below, thereby causing the tooth body 3 to press against the protrusion 5 of the workpiece 4. There is a proposal to bite into it and fix it.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the above-mentioned conventional fixing devices have a structure that only engages with the II body attachment portion or is attached and held in a snap-type manner, so that the fixing devices are difficult to solve due to long-term use. Due to relaxation, vibration, and external pressure, rattling occurs spontaneously, and the rattling causes abnormal noise.

Moreover, when play occurs, the gap gradually becomes larger, and there is a problem in that there is a possibility that the fixation itself may loosely fit at the same time as abnormal noise is generated.

(Object of the Invention) The present invention has been devised in view of the problems of the prior art described in -I-, and is made by bending a flexible thin plate material and forming a fixing part in an inclined shape from both sides. +) m at the tip of the fixed part,
ii?The crimp that defines the arm in the opposite direction? By press-fitting the material, the elastic force of the arms prevents natural loose fitting with the exterior parts of the object to be attached.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for exterior parts that prevents the occurrence of abnormal noise due to the M section.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a structure for attaching an exterior component to a vehicle body via a clip, and the clip is made of an elastic thin film. A retaining plate formed from a plate material and bent into a box-shaped cross section is formed with an inclined vertical fixing part facing each other from both sides; An arm portion is formed in the opposite direction, and the base material is press-fitted and attached using the clip.

(Example) Examples of the mounting structure for exterior parts according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawing (-1).

FIGS. 1 and 2 show the mounting clip of the present invention, and FIG. 3 shows the mounting structure of the present invention for mounting on an object. That is, as shown in the figure, the clip 1O used in the handling structure of the present invention is formed from a flexible thin plate material, and is attached to both sides of the holding plate 11, which is curved in a cross-section of the thin plate material. Fixing part 1 standing slanted in opposition
2, and a rib-like projection 21 is formed at the tip of the fixing part 12.
Multiple connections +1-teeth 13 to connect the jj:41
n+, and an arm portion 14 is formed that extends in the opposite direction to the engagement teeth 13 and can be sexually suppressed and deformed.

The n-shaped intermediate portion 15 of the clip 10 has a blank space so that the rib-like projections 21 can freely protrude.

Further, the riir arm portion 14 is attached to the bottom surface portion 11 of the holding plate 11.
It has a configuration in which elastic force is imparted by extending downwardly from point a.

Note that the cross-sectional shape of the holding plate 11 and the raised portions 16 on the left and right edges around the arm portions 14 are shaped to make it easier to hold in consideration of workability during installation.

3, the mounting structure using the clip 10 will be described. First, the rib-shaped protrusion 21 is attached to the exterior component 20, which is the object to be attached, and is equipped with the rib-shaped protrusion 21.
Insert the I material, that is, the metal plastic plate 7 22 into 1,
The clip 10 is then press-fitted.

At this time, hold the clip 10 by hand by holding the standing portion 16.
Rib-shaped protrusion 2 is placed in the space between 1] and 1313.
1 is pressed to be inserted, the locking tooth 13 advances while intertwining with the rib-like protrusion 21 from both sides, thereby preventing backward movement in the opposite direction (the receiving direction).

Further, the inclined arm portion 14 is connected to the base material, that is, the metal bracket 22.
and closes the gap X between the metal bracket 22 and the metal bracket 22;
It will always maintain an elastically pressed state.

The arms in the non-embodiments have been described as extending from the fixing part, but are not limited to this; for example, they may be extended from one end of the retaining plate within the scope of the invention. A variation is possible.

(Effects of the Invention) - As embodied by the above, the present invention has a structure in which an object to be attached, in which a rib-shaped protrusion is formed in a proper position, is attached to a C1 material via a crimp that is engaged with a tiGi rib-shaped protrusion. By forming a sexually deformable arm part on the clip, it is possible to absorb dimensional errors, and at the same time, the gap in the throat part, which is likely to be generated by vibration or other external pressure, can be reduced. This made it possible to prevent problems such as abnormal noises.

In addition, it was possible to provide a mounting structure that can be installed by only a moderate amount of work, and that does not cause accidents such as reverse movement after installation.
