BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a clip for connecting attachment members, such as a silencer, a heat insulation plate, a makeup plate, a mat, to a second attachment member such as a body panel, in particular a shaft portion. A second latch which is fixed to the first attachment member by a stopper provided on the flange and the other end of the shaft portion formed on one end side of the shaft portion and the corresponding shaft portion, It relates to a clip for connecting both attachment members by stopping the connecting means to the second attachment member.

A clip for connecting a first attachment member such as a conventional silencer, a heat insulation board, a decorative board, a mat and the like to a second attachment member such as a body panel is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 1-24418.

The clip is secured to the first attachment member by a flange formed on one end side of the shaft portion and the corresponding shaft portion, and a pair of stop blades provided on the other end side of the shaft portion, and the stud latch is installed on the shaft portion in the state fixed to the first attachment member. It is configured to connect both attachment members while the stop length is connected to the stud placed in the second attachment member and stopped.

The clip has an advantage that the operation is simple and the separation operation is simple because it is fixed to the first attachment member by opening and closing a pair of stop wings.

However, in order to fix the clip to the first attachment member, the shaft portion must be inserted into the attachment hole of the first attachment member to keep contacting the flange with the attachment member, and the locking blade on the other end of the shaft is opened. There was a problem that work on one side of the attachment member was difficult because it had to be flipped in the direction.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a clip which can be easily fixed to an attachment member even by work on one side and excellent in holding force even after fixing.

In order to achieve this object, the body is fixed to the first attachment member by the first stop means provided on the shaft and the other end of the shaft, and the second stop means provided on the shaft. A clip for connecting the first attachment member to a second attachment member such as a panel, wherein the shaft portion is formed with an elastic support extending from the position close to the flange to the other end portion of the shaft portion described above along the shaft portion, and the front end of the support portion. From the vicinity, the stopper is inclined toward the outside of the shaft in the radial direction, and the stopper is inclined toward the flange side, so that the stopper forms the above-described first stopper, and the first attachment member is provided on the above-described shaft. Characterized in that a space is provided to allow the support to bend radially inward when inserted into the attachment hole of the A clip is provided.

Since the stopper comes out from the support in the shape of a hook, if the shaft is inserted into the attachment hole of the attachment member such as the silencer with the tip of the support, the hook can be inserted smoothly and the flange is attached. If the member is strongly in contact with the member, the stopper opened from the attachment hole opens in the shape of a hook, which stops on the other surface of the attachment member, whereby the clip is fixed to the attachment member. Therefore, the clip can be fixed simply and also by work from one side of the attachment member.

In the present invention, the connecting portion between the support and the stopping stop may be formed with a rib to reinforce the connecting portion. A pair of supports and stops may be formed at positions opposite to the radial direction of the shaft portion, a support and a stop may be formed as one, or a plurality of stops may be formed from the support so as to conform to the plate thickness of the attachment member. do.

A hollow stop may be formed as a second stop means for forming a hollow to accommodate the stud placed in the second attachment member and stopping the stud from connecting to the stud inside. As the second locking means, one end of the shaft portion may be provided with an anchor-type locking means for connecting and stopping by inserting into the attachment hole of the second attachment member. In this case, after attaching the clip to the first attachment member, it is also possible to insert a cap for preventing the support and the stopper from bending to the inside of the shaft portion at the other end described above.

It is also possible to fill the other end side of the shaft portion. In addition, a stopper surface may be provided on the stopper in contact with the edge of the head of the other end of the shaft to limit the angle at which the stopper is opened.

In addition, the shaft portion forms a pair of elastic supports that extend from the vicinity of the flange to the other end, and out of the hooks from the support, hooks are formed, and both ends are connected from one side to the other of the connection portion between the support and the connection stop. The cover may be formed to cover the space of the portion, the first hinge may be formed at both connecting portions of the cover, and the second hinge may be formed at the center of the cover, thereby providing only a sound insulation effect. Instead, the stopper and the cover are integrated to facilitate insertion.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

However, this invention is not limited by the Example.

EXAMPLE

First, in FIGS. 1 to 6, the clip 1 is formed of a single piece of plastic, and has a shaft 3 and a flange 3 formed at one end (lower end) of the shaft. The shaft portion 2 is hollow so as to accommodate a screw stud placed in a body panel or the like. The head 5 is provided at the upper end of the shaft portion 2.

In the portion adjacent to the flange 3 of the shaft portion 2, a pair of stoppers 6 which stops with a screw stud is formed. The stopper 6 may be formed at the same height as in FIG. 6, but may be changed in accordance with the screw pitch of the screw stud as shown in FIG.

A pair of projections 7 which are elongated in the axial direction is formed inside the shaft portion 2 so that the gap with the received stud does not shake. In addition, the flange 3 is formed in the shape of a trumpet opening from the hole of the shaft portion 2 in order to facilitate the use of a stud which is likely to cause a change in position, and the edge 9 thereof is formed in an upright wall. It is formed.

The shaft portion 2 has an elastic support 10 that extends from the position close to the flange 3, that is, the position where the stopper 6 is formed, to the other end along the shaft portion 2, that is, near the upper end portion. A pair is formed in the position which opposes a radial direction. The support 10 is elastic and the shaft portion 2 is formed of a pair of elongated pillar members to form a space allowing the support 10 to be bent inside.

From the front end (upper end) of each support 10, it goes to the radially outer side of the axial part, and it carries out downward and obliquely stops 11 in the shape of a hook. The stopping stop 11 serves as a stopping means for stopping an attachment member such as a silencer or a heat insulating plate, and functions to cooperate with the flange 3 to fix the clip 1 to the attachment member. The stopper 11 preferably has a longer length in the attachment strength after fixation, but a shorter length in the insertability to the attachment member.

In the present invention, even if the support 10 for supporting the stop 11 is bent to the inside of the shaft portion sufficiently to extend the stop 11 by bending, it stops sufficiently inside and does not reduce the insertion workability of the clip shaft portion. It is possible to lengthen the base 11, to sufficiently secure the stopping portion to the attachment member, and to reduce the attachment hole of the attachment member.

As shown in FIG. 7, the rib 12 may be provided at the connection portion between the support 10 and the stop 11 to reinforce the connection portion. 9 and 10 show an example of a clip without a stopper for stopping the stud. In this example, three projections 13 extending in the axial direction are formed on the inner wall of the shaft portion close to the flange in place of the stopping length 6. The protruding length to the inside of the protrusion is such that the pitch height of the stud enters when the stud is pushed against the stud. By this projection 13, an adhesive force larger than the stopper is obtained.

The operation of connecting the first attachment member such as the silencer to the second attachment member such as the body panel using the clip 1 having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 13.

In FIG. 11, the shaft part is inserted into the attachment hole 15 of the 1st attachment member 14, with the head 5 of the shaft part 2 of the clip 1 as a head. By this insertion, the support 10 is bent inward of the shaft portion, whereby the connecting portion of the stopper 11 also enters inward, and the tip of the stopper 11 is also bent. In this way, not only the stopper 11 but also the support 10 is sufficiently bent inward of the shaft portion, so that the insertion into the attachment hole can be sufficiently performed even with a weak force.

When the clip shaft portion is inserted until the flange 3 is brought into contact with the first attachment member 14, the stoppage 11 emerges from the upper surface of the first attachment member 14.

As shown in FIG. 12, when the stop 11 comes out of the first attachment member 14, not only the stop 11 but the support 10 also returns to its original position by its elasticity. 11) is opened in the hook state is connected to the upper surface of the first attachment member 14 to stop. In this way, the clip 1 is fixed to the first attachment member 14. The one or more clips 1 are fixed to the first attachment member 14 and then transported to the place where the second attachment member 17, such as a panel body, which connects the first attachment member 14, is located. . In the second attachment member 17, a plurality of screw studs 18 are placed in a predetermined position.

The operator fits the stud on the upright wall of the flange 3 with the clip-first attaching member 14 and pushes the clip 1 into the stud as it is. By this push-up, the stud 18 is locked to the stopper 6 into the clip shaft portion 2 and is restrained by the projection 7 (see FIG. 5) to enter the final attachment state of FIG. . In this state, the first attachment member 14 is connected to the second attachment member 17.

In this connection state, since the shaft part 2 contains the studs 18, the support 10 cannot already bend inward.

Therefore, the stopping stop 11 is controlled to move to the inside of the shaft portion 2, so the stopping force of the stopping stop 11 is maintained high, thereby preventing the clip 1 from being pulled out.

14 and 15 show an example of a clip formed so that a plurality of stoppages emerge from the support.

In the example shown in the figure, the second stopping stop 20 is formed from the support base 10 below the stopping stop 11. Thus, in the case of the thick attachment member 14 of FIG. 14, the first stoppage 11 is used, and in the case of the thin attachment member 14a of FIG. 15, the second stoppage 20 is used. It can respond according to the thickness of a member. In addition, in this structure of the stopper which is a multi-step, in the case of FIG. 5, even if the stopper of the 2nd stopper 20 is peeled off, the 1st stopper 11 can stop.

In addition, the stopper 11 is not limited to a pair but may be only one as shown in FIG. In this case, the shaft part 2 can form the side without a stopper by a simple semicylinder.

17 to 20 show examples of clips with holes in the shaft head. That is, the head 21 is formed of a non-plate, thereby shielding the noise from the body panel and the like.

Thus, compared with the perforated plate, the advantage of increasing the pushing down area for insertion is also obtained. In addition, since the hole is not formed in the head portion 21, the strength is increased, and the pillar member constituting the shaft portion can be tapered. As shown in FIG. 20, the shaft portion 23 is tapered to form a point symmetry around the shaft center. can do. In this way, the configuration of the mold is simplified.

21 to 24, the anchoring stop type is stopped by inserting the stopper means to the second attachment member such as the body panel by inserting it into the attachment hole of the second attachment member, not the stud stopper. The example of the clip in which a means is formed is shown. In the example of this clip, since the shaft part 2, the support stand 10, and the stopper 11 are the same as the clip 1, description is abbreviate | omitted.

The flanges 24 are slightly different in shape, but are similar in that they are held in contact with the first attachment member 14. The lower end of the shaft part 2 is provided with a pair of anchoring hooks 25 having an anchor leg shape and an anchor leg locking member 28 whose center is the plate-shaped shaft portion 27.

As shown in FIG. 24, the latching hanger 25 is formed to be bent toward the plate-shaft portion 27 and is stopped by inserting it into the attachment hole of the second attachment member. In addition, the second flange 29 under the flange 24 has elasticity to prevent the attachment shake of the second attachment member.

Since the stud is not inserted into the shaft portion 2 of the clip, the support 10 may be wheeled inside the shaft portion 2 even after attachment. For this reason, the cap 31 shown in FIG. 25 is inserted in the hole of the head 5 in the shaft part 2.

The cap 31 is formed of a plate-shaped body whose upper surface is square (or rectangular), and the lower portion is formed in a cylindrical shape so that a pair of projections 32 and 33 are formed on both the upper plate-shaped body and the lower ordinary body. Formed.

The attaching operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 26 to 29. FIG. On the head of the shaft portion 2, a cap 31 stops the lower protrusion 33 and is attached to the clip as shown in FIG. Next, the clip is fixed to the first attaching member 14 through the procedures of FIGS. 27 and 28. The first attachment member 14 having the clip fixed thereto is transported to the second attachment member 17 so that the anchor leg stop 28 of the clip fits into the attachment hole of the second attachment member 17 and is pushed in.

In this way, as shown in FIG. 29, the anchor leg stopper 25 stops on the rear surface of the second attachment member 17 so that the first attachment member 14 is attached to the second attachment member 17. As shown in FIG. Connected. After connection, the cap 31 is pushed in as shown by the arrow 35 and the protrusion 32 of the cap 31 is fixed to the head inner wall by stopping. In this way, as the support 10 is prevented from bending inward, the stopping stop of the stopping stop 11 is secured.

30-34, the clip 37 of another structure is shown. In this clip 37, the shaft portion 38 is formed of a pair of elastic supports 41 above the portion 40 forming the stud stoppers 39. From the tip of each support 41, the locking stop 42 comes out of hook shape similarly to the clip 1, and is formed. In this clip 37, the cover 43 is formed in one connection part of the connection part between the support stand 41 and the stopper 42 to prevent the space of both connection parts. First hinges 45 are formed at both connecting portions of the cover. In addition, a second hinge 46 is formed in the center of the cover 43. This cover 43 shields noise from the body panel and the like.

Using the clip 37 having such a configuration, the cover 43 is first inserted into the attachment hole of the first attachment member 14 as shown in FIG. By this insertion, the cover 43 becomes smaller than the attachment hole about the second hinge 46, and the locking stop 42 also rotates about the first hinge 45 to become smaller than the attachment hole and enters very much. It becomes easy. And since the stopper 42 and the surface of the cover 43 are continuous, insertion to an attachment hole becomes easier.

As shown in FIG. 36, when the shaft portion 38 is inserted until the flange 47 is brought into contact with the first attaching member 14, the stopping stop 42 comes out of the upper attaching member 14 and is caught. Stop. Thus, the clip 37 is fixed to the first attachment member 14. At this time, since the first hinge 45 and the second hinge 46 limit the opening of the locking stop 42, the locking stop is strongly maintained. Next, as shown in FIG. 37, the clip 37 is pushed against the stud 18 of the second attaching member 17 with the clip attaching first attaching member 14. By this pushing, the stud 18 enters through the clip shaft portion 38, and the stud 18 stops on the stop hook 39 so that the first attaching member 14 contacts the second attaching member 17. Connected. Since the stud 18 is contained between the shaft portion 38 and the support 41, the support 41 can not bend inward. Therefore, the holding force of the stopping stop 42 is largely maintained to prevent the clip from peeling off. In addition, the first hinge 45 may be provided at a connection portion between the support 41 and the stopping stop 42.

38-39, the clip 49 of the further different structure is shown. In Fig. 38, the clip 49 is very similar to the clip 1 shown in Figs. 1 to 6, but the head 51 of the shaft 50 restricts the opening angle of the stop 53. The configuration is different and the other configuration is the same.

In this clip 49, the stopper surface 55 which directly contacts the edge part of the head 51 is formed in the connection part of the stopper 53 and the support 54. As shown in FIG. The stopper surface 55 is in contact with the edge of the head 51 when the stopper 53 is opened at a predetermined angle or more so as not to be opened further. Therefore, the clip 49 is prevented from escaping from the first attachment member such as the silencer supported as the stopper 53 and the flange 57. The shape is shown in FIG. When the clip 49 is attached to the first attaching member 58 and the pulling force applied to the first attaching member 58 is indicated by an imaginary line in the drawing, the stoppage 53 is imagined. Although open to the position of the line, the stopper surface 55 of the stopper is in direct contact with the edge of the head 51 to prevent further opening.

Therefore, even if a force to pull the first attaching member 58 is applied, the opening of the stopping stop 53 is restricted and the clip 49 is prevented from coming out.

According to the present invention, an elastic support is formed in the shaft portion from the flange side to the vicinity of the shaft end portion along the shaft portion. From the tip of the support portion, the stopper is inclined toward the flange side toward the radially outer side of the shaft portion, and the first attachment member is formed on the shaft portion. Since the space is provided to allow the support to bend inward in the radial direction when inserted into the attachment hole of the hook, inserting the shaft portion into the attachment hole of the attachment member such as the silencer with the leading end of the support It can be inserted smoothly with the stopper closed and can be inserted sufficiently even with a small insertion force. If the flange is strongly folded on the attachment member, the stopper opened from the attachment hole opens in a hook shape and stops on the other side of the attachment member. The clip is fixed to the attachment member. Therefore, the clip can be fixed simply by working from one side of the attachment member without requiring strong force. After attaching to the second attachment member, the stopping force of the stopping stop is greatly improved by preventing the bending of the support with a stud or a cap.

Therefore, the work can be easily fixed to the attachment member by the work from one side, and the holding force after being secured can provide a sufficient clip.
