Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an improvement of a clip for attaching a molding that holds down the edge of a window glass and also serves as a decoration along the edge of a window such as a front window or a rear window of an automobile.

If such a clip is molded from a metal plate and used, there is a risk of damaging the paint film of the car body panel during installation and causing rust. is proposed. It is true that using plastic clips eliminates the risk of damaging the paint film, but the holding power of the molding is inferior to that of metal clips, and
This holding force varies depending on temperature changes, and variations occur.

Therefore, in this invention, the main body of the clip is molded from plastic to prevent damage to the paint film, and a metal reinforcing plate is assembled to the molded main body, and the reinforcing plate improves the holding power and prevents variations. , will be described below with reference to an illustrated embodiment.

In each figure, 1 is a car body panel, in which a recess 2 that is one size larger than the window hole 1' is formed, and the edge of the window glass 3 is glued with adhesive 4 along the bottom 2a of the recess, that is, along the edge of the window hole. do.

Then, a long and narrow plastic retaining strip 5 having a roughly J-shaped cross section is fixed to each inner surface 2b of the recess with double-sided adhesive tape, and clips 6 are pushed into the grooves 5' of the retaining strip 5 at appropriate intervals. A check claw 6a provided at 6 is hooked onto a claw 5a provided at the free end side of the groove 5' of the retaining strip to prevent reverse slippage.

The clip is an integrally molded plastic product, which has the above-mentioned upside-down claw 6a integrally on the front surface, an insertion piece 7 that is pushed into the groove of the retaining strip leaving the upper end, and an insertion piece 7 that is inserted forward from the upper end of the insertion piece 7. It has an overhanging piece 8 that overhangs the overhanging piece, and angular protruding pieces 9 that are longer than the overhanging piece and project obliquely from both sides of the overhanging piece in substantially the same horizontal plane as the overhanging piece.

To attach the molding 10, the folded part 10a that suppresses the edge of the glass from above is inserted into the protruding piece 9,
9, push the downwardly bent piece 10b of the molding between the front side of the retaining strip 5 and the back side of the insertion piece 7 of the clip, and insert the claw 10b' formed by bending the lower end of the downwardly facing piece 10b. It engages with a claw 7a formed on the back side of the piece. Like the retaining strip 5, the molding 10 also has a length corresponding to each inner surface of the recess, and when the molding is attached as described above, the angular protruding pieces 9 open slightly and then try to close. The restoring force presses the molding forward, ensuring the engagement between the claws 10'b and 7a, and preventing the molding from coming off.

By the way, in general, in this type of molding clip, force is applied in the direction of opening the protruding pieces 9, 9 or force is applied in the direction of closing the protruding pieces 9, 9 due to vibrations when the car is running. In this case, the stress concentration area on the clip is the connecting area between the insertion piece and the overhanging piece. In addition, when removing the molding from the clip as necessary, the claw 10' of the downward facing piece of the molding
When disengaging the clip 7b from the claw 7a of the clip, stress is also concentrated at the connecting portion between the insertion piece and the overhanging piece of the clip.

Therefore, in the present invention, the stress concentrated portion of this clip is reinforced with a metal reinforcing plate to obtain a constant high holding force.

For this purpose, a series of openings 11 are provided at the joint between the insertion piece 7 and the overhanging piece 8 of the clip. And opening 1
It has a width corresponding to 1, and has extensions 12 and 13 bent at the top and bottom to cover the outer surface of the front end of the overhanging piece 8 and the lower end of the insertion piece 7, and has an insertion piece for a clip on both left and right sides. A metal reinforcing plate 15 provided with protrusions 14, 14 that hangs on the inner surface of the corner formed by the overhanging piece is punched out from a metal plate, processed, and attached to a clip. To attach the metal reinforcing plate 15 to the clip, hold the reinforcing plate at an angle, hang one of the protrusions 14 on the inner surface of the corner of the overhanging piece, and while returning the reinforcing plate to a horizontal orientation, attach the other protrusion to the inner surface of the corner. In the installed state, the opening 11 is closed by the reinforcing plate 15, and the upper and lower extensions 12, 1 of the reinforcing plate 15 are closed.
3 covers the outer surfaces of the insertion piece and the overhanging piece, while the left and right protrusions 14, 14 are hooked on the inner surfaces of the corners of both pieces, so that the reinforcing plate does not fall off from the clip. Incidentally, if necessary, a notch 16 for receiving a protrusion may be formed on the inner surface of the corner of the clip.

As a result, the clip of the present invention holds the molding in the same way as conventional clips, and allows this molding to hold down the edge of the glass from above and also serves as a decoration. 15 and is reinforced with this reinforcing plate, the holding force of the clip is increased and it is possible to prevent the holding force from changing due to temperature. Incidentally, the outer surfaces of the overhanging piece and the insertion piece covered by the extension parts 12 and 13 of the reinforcing plate have recesses 17 and 1 into which the extension parts 12 and 13 fit.
8, both side edges of the reinforcing plate are in contact with the opposing inner surfaces of the opening 11, and the upper and lower sides are recessed 17,
Since the reinforcing plate is in contact with and immovably surrounded by the upper and lower surfaces of 18, it effectively prevents the clip from deforming, further improving the reinforcing effect, and since the reinforcing plate rests on and is surrounded by resin, it does not rust. Not at all.
