Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to an illustrative embodiment.

Figure 1 shows an example of the locations where the coupling device of the present invention is used, where A is a radiator grill attached to the front of a car, B is a body panel, and C is a body panel.
indicates the gap created between the two, and this connecting device is effective when used to connect the radiator grille A and the body panel B with a gap corresponding to the gap C.

FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the coupling device 10 of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the base body 1 is provided with an elastic locking member 2 extending in one direction in the center, and the lower side of the base body 1 is provided with an elastic locking member 2 extending in one direction. is equipped with pressing blades 4, 4 and legs 5 which are inclined through a fixed plate 3 connected to the base 1, and pressing blades extending in the same direction through a receiving plate 6 on the upper side of the base. 8, 8, a hook-like stop arm 7 for locking into a notch (described later), and an inverted V-shaped elastic arm 9 having a stopper 12 at the end, and a hole in the panel plate 13 and grill plate 14. It is constructed so that it is connected through the wire, and is integrally molded from a synthetic resin material.

Specifically, a rectangular base 1 is formed in the center of the coupling device 10, and a radiator grille plate 14 is attached above the base 1, and a body panel plate 13 is attached below the base 1. Therefore, they are inserted and connected.

That is, on the lower side of the base body 1, the fixing plate 3 and the legs 5 are integrally connected.

Pressing blades 4, 4 extend downwardly from two directions on the fixed plate 3.

Further, the leg body 5 is configured in a V-shape, and has an enlarged diameter so that it can be easily bent inward.

Next, a rectangular receiving plate 6 is connected above the base 1, and the receiving plate 6 has pressing blades 8, 8 inclined upward in the same direction as the pressing blades 4, 4, and the elastic The locking members 8, 8 are formed perpendicularly to each other, and each has a stop arm 7 having a curved tip and an inverted V-shaped elastic arm 9 facing the stop arm 7.

A stopper 12 for stopping the plate is formed at the tip of the inverted V-shaped elastic arm 9, and a protruding locking portion 11 is formed at a position opposite to the stopper 12.

An elastic locking member 2 for fixing the plate by fitting into the locking portion 11 extends in an elongated shape from the base body 1, and faces the locking portion 11 with a slight gap. It is formed in the state.

Therefore, the connecting device having the above structure is shown in FIGS. 3 to 5.
When the illustrated embodiment is used as a radiator grill plate, the curved stop arm 7 is first engaged with a notch 14b formed at the end of the grill plate 14, as shown in FIG. (See Figure 2) This is to prevent the coupling device from shifting laterally.

Next, when the inverted V-shaped elastic arm 9 is pressed and inserted into the grill hole 14a from below in this state, the inverted V-shaped elastic arm 9 is locked in the grill hole 14a by its own elastic force, It stops at the stopper 12 position.

At this time, the elastic locking member 2 and the locking portion 11 are bonded to each other and are integrated to fix the inverted V-shaped elastic arm 9.

A plurality of such coupling devices are inserted into the plate surface of the radiator grill.

Next, the panel hole 1 provided in the mating panel board 13 is
When the leg portion 5 is pressed against the leg portion 3a, the two will be connected together.

When the panel plate 13 and the grill plate 14 are press-locked as described above, the press blades 8, 8 of the receiving plate 6 and the press blades 4, 4 of the fixed plate 3 are pressed against the corresponding grill plate 14 and the panel plate 14, respectively. Since the plate 13 is pressed from above or below by elastic force, the play of the plate is absorbed.

The method described above is such that the connecting device is first attached to the radiator grill plate side and then the legs are attached to the panel plate, but this order can also be reversed.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram when the present coupling device 10 is removed.

This connecting device 10 includes an elastic locking member 2 and a locking portion 11.
Since it is attached by fitting with the grill hole 14a, insert a jig such as a screwdriver 15 between the plates and loosely fit the two together as shown in the figure, then insert the inverted V-shaped elastic arm 9 into the grill hole 14a. When loosely fitted from the locking position, the coupling device 10 is in a state where it can be freely removed from at least the radiator grille hole 14a.

As explained above, according to the coupling device of the present invention, the pressing blade and the leg body are integrally formed on the lower side of the base, and the receiving plate, pressing blade, stop arm, and end portion are formed on the upper side of the base. A stopper and an inverted V-shaped elastic arm having a locking part are integrally formed, and between the fixed plate and the receiving plate on the base body, the stopper projects in the direction of the inverted V-shaped elastic arm and can be freely locked relative to the locking part. Since the elastic locking member is integrally formed, when connecting a panel plate having a panel hole and a grill plate having a grille hole and a notch, it is possible to , these two plates can be connected at intervals, and the panel plate and grille plate can be attached separately, so even if they are moved, the panel plate,
Since the connecting device does not fall off from the grill plate, the installation process is simplified, and therefore, a high level of connecting function is achieved with simple operation, and even when removing the connecting device, it can be locked using a tool such as a screwdriver. This can be done easily by releasing the lock between the part and the elastic locking member, and the connecting device is not damaged, and the locking part, elastic locking member, etc. are not exposed to the outside when the panel plate and grill plate are connected to each other. Therefore, the appearance is also good.
