The body 120 extends from one side of the outer head 110 and is formed to have a predetermined length. And the body 120 is configured to have a coupling space 122 continuously connected to the through-hole 112 therein. That is, the coupling space 122 is formed to be connected to the through hole 112 so that the tubular object inserted from the through hole 112 can be located therein. In the present embodiment, the coupling space 122 is configured not only to communicate with the through hole 112 but also to communicate with a part of the side surface of the body 120.

The wing 130 is bent to the body 120, one end is coupled to the body 120 and the other end is held at the edge of the coupler (P1) while maintaining a predetermined distance from the body 120 It is formed to.

The wings 130 may be configured in plural numbers so as to be symmetrical with respect to the body 120, and in this embodiment, the wings 130 are configured in pairs.

As shown, one end of the wing 130 is connected to the position opposite to the outer head 110 in the body 120 and is configured to change the separation distance between the other ends of the wing 130 as it is bent. In addition, in this embodiment, one end of the wing 130 is configured to be coupled to the end of the body (120).

Thus, the fastening unit 100 is composed of the outer head 110, the body 120 and the wing 130, the overall shape is formed similar to the general bolt and selectively bent wing 130 It has a shape provided.

The fixing unit 200 is composed of an inner head 210 and the pressing member 220, the inner head 210 is formed similar to the head of the general screw and is formed larger than the area of the through hole 112 The through hole 112 is configured not to pass through.

The pressing member 220 protrudes on one side of the inner head 210 and is inserted into the coupling space 122 so as to press the wing 130 outward from the coupling space 122.

In this way, the pressing member 220 is composed of the inner head 210 and the pressing member 220, the pressing member 220 into the coupling space 122 through the through hole 112. Simultaneously with the insertion, the wing 130 is pressed to allow the other side of the wing 130 to be separated.

As the pressing member 220 presses the wing 130 in the coupling space 122, the bending state of the wing 130 with the body 120 is adjusted.

Thus, the mounting clip according to the embodiment of the present invention is composed of the fastening unit 100 and the fixing unit 200 and the pressing member 100 in the state in which the fastening unit 100 is inserted into the coupling sphere (P1) ( 220 is selectively inserted into the coupling space 122 through the through-hole 112. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 4, the pressing member 220 presses the wing 130, and the body 120 is coupled to the body as the separation distance between the other ends of the pair of wings 130 is adjusted. It is fixed in the state inserted in the sphere P1.

On the other hand, a more detailed configuration for the fixing unit 200 and the fastening unit 100 and a configuration for selectively fixing the coupling state is as follows.

The pressing member 220 is formed in a cylindrical shape is provided with a latch 222 along the circumference of the side that is inserted into the coupling space 122. The latch 222 may be configured in plural and in the present embodiment, the latch 222 may be configured as a pair so as to be symmetrical with respect to the pressing member 220.

In addition, the through hole 112 is formed in a cylindrical shape similarly to the pressing member 220, and has a through groove 114 formed therein so as to allow the latch 222 to pass along a circumference thereof.

Here too, the through groove 114 is configured such that the pair is symmetrical with each other like the latch 222 formed on the pressing member 220. Thus, the shape of the through hole 114 is configured such that the pressing member 220 can pass through.

In this way, when the pressing member 220 is inserted into the coupling space 122 when the fixing unit 200 and the fastening unit 100 are coupled, the user presses the fixing unit 200. The jam 222 through the through-hole 112 through the interference fit is generated. Accordingly, in the coupling of the fixing unit 200 and the fastening unit 100 can be combined in a more simplified manner through a single process.

In addition, when the fixing unit 200 and the fastening unit 100 are separated, the fixing unit 200 may be rotated so that the positions of the latch 222 and the through groove 114 may face each other. .

Alternatively, the fixing unit 200 is rotated after the latch 222 is inserted through the through hole 112 formed in the fastening unit 100 at a position coinciding with the through groove 114. And it is possible to couple the fixing unit 200 and the fastening unit 100 by the latch 222 is caught by the through hole 112. So the fixing unit 200 is the The pressing member 220 is selectively configured to be fixed while maintaining a pressurized state in the coupling space 122. This process will be described later in more detail with reference to FIG. 6.

Next, the state in which the fastening unit 100 is fixed to the coupling target panel P by the fixing unit 200 will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

5 is a view showing that the bending occurs in the blade 130 as the fixing unit 200 is inserted into the fastening unit 100 of FIG.

First, referring to (a) of FIG. 5, the body 120 and the wings 130 are inserted through the coupling holes P1 formed in the coupling target panel P, and the outer head 110 is inserted therein. ) Has a larger area than the coupler (P1) is in contact with one side of the panel to be coupled (P).

Here, the wing 130 is configured as a pair as described above, one end is coupled to the body 120 and the other end is configured to maintain a distance from the body 120. At this time, the pair of the wings 130 is formed so that the separation distance between the other end of the wing 130 is smaller than the diameter of the coupler (P1) when the external force is not bent by the action.

That is, the wing 130 may be inserted into the coupler (P1) by forming a distance between the other end is smaller than the diameter of the coupler (P1) when the external force is not applied.

When the fastening unit 100 is inserted into the coupling sphere P1 as described above, the fastening unit 200 is fastened to the fastening unit 200 through the through hole 112 as shown in FIG. 100).

Referring to FIG. 5B, since the inner head 210 of the fixing unit 200 is larger than the through hole 112, the inner head 110 does not pass through the through hole 112. The pressure member 220 is inserted into the coupling space 122 through the through hole 112.

As such, as the pressing member 220 is inserted into the coupling space 122, the wing 130 is urged outward from the coupling space 122. Accordingly, the wing 130 is bent in the direction in which the other end distance is far away from each other, the distance is greater than the diameter of the coupling hole (P1) the fastening unit 100 and the coupling target panel (P). ) Is fixed.

That is, whether the bending member of the wing 130 is determined according to the state in which the pressing member 220 is fixed in the coupling space 122, and thus the fastening unit 100 and the coupling target panel P The fixed state of is determined.

When the fastening unit 100 and the fixing unit 200 are separated, the blade 130 is pressed because the pressing member 220 presses the blade 130 in the coupling space 122. The other end distance between each other by the restoring force is close again, and the fastening unit 100 and the coupling target panel (P) can be easily separated.

On the other hand, the wing 130 is formed to be stepped on the other end as shown, the locking step 132 that is caught on the coupler (P1) may be formed.

As shown in the drawing, the locking jaw 132 is formed at the other end of the wing 130, so that when the hook 130 is caught by the coupler P1 due to the bending of the wing 130, the locking state is adjusted to be engaged. It is possible to prevent the wing 130 from being excessively bent due to the action of an external force along the direction.

Next, referring to Figure 6 with respect to the process for the coupling and separation of the fastening unit 100 and the fixed unit 200 as follows.

6 is a view illustrating a process of separating in a state in which the fixing unit 200 is coupled to the fastening unit 100 of FIG. 3.

As shown in the drawing, when the fastening unit 100 and the fixing unit 200 are coupled to each other, the pressing member 220 presses the fixing unit 200 to pass through the through hole 112 in the coupling space. (122) Insert into. Accordingly, the wing 130 is pressed, so that the other end distance from each other is far. In this case, the latch 222 is caught by the through hole 112, and thus the fixing unit 200 maintains a coupling state with the fastening unit 100.

By such a configuration, the fixing unit 200 is selectively inserted into and fixed to the fastening unit 100, and the fastening unit 100 and the coupling target panel P are controlled by adjusting the bending state of the wing 130. Adjust the binding state of.

On the other hand, the outer head 110 further includes a fixing groove 116 in which the latch 222 is selectively seated and fixed along the circumference of the through hole 112 in a direction in which the body 120 is extended. Can be configured.

As shown, the fixing groove 116 is formed in a shape corresponding to the latch 222 and recessed to pass through the through hole 112 and inserted into the coupling space 122 into the latch 222. Is configured to seat.

That is, when the fixing unit 200 is coupled to the fastening unit 100, the fixing unit 200 is seated in the fixing groove 116 by adjusting and pressing the position of the latch 222 to pass through the through hole 112. Accordingly, the fixing unit 200 may press the wings 130 while maintaining the coupling state with the fastening unit 100.

By this configuration, the fixing unit 200 may be inserted into the fastening unit 100 to be selectively fixed, and vice versa.

Looking at the process of releasing the coupling state of the fixing unit 200 and the fastening unit 100, first rotating the fixing unit 200 to match the position of the through groove 114 and the latch 222. . As such, when the positions of the through grooves 114 and the catches 222 coincide with each other, since the catches do not occur in the catches 222, the pressing member 220 may easily pass through the through holes 112. It becomes possible.

That is, when the fixing unit 200 and the fastening unit 100 are separated, the positions of the through grooves 114 and the latch 222 may be matched to each other to pass through the fixing unit 200 and the fastening unit 200. When the unit 100 is coupled, the pressing member 220 does not coincide with the position of the through groove 114 and the latch 222 so that the pressing member 220 is disposed in a fixed state within the coupling space 122.

As described above, the present invention has been described with respect to preferred embodiments thereof, and it can be embodied in other forms without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. The present embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, and the invention is not to be limited to the foregoing description, but may be modified within the scope and equivalence of the appended claims.
