Description

clip

The present invention relates to a clip for fixing a plurality of objects to be fixed to each other.

Conventionally, a design having a plurality of colors has been proposed as a cowl design for a motorcycle. In this case, as a method for manufacturing the cowl, there is a method of applying two colors after molding. In this manufacturing method, when the cowl is damaged, the ground of the cowl is exposed. As another manufacturing method, there is a method of molding a cowl in two colors. This manufacturing method requires high technology, and therefore the design width is narrowed. Furthermore, the cost tends to increase.

On the other hand, a technique for fixing two different members to an attachment object has been proposed. Specifically, a claw portion is formed on the first member, and a wedge portion is formed on the second member. The claw portion of the first member is engaged with the fitting hole of the object to be attached, and the wedge portion of the second member is inserted into the claw between the claw portions so as to widen the claw portion (for example, patent Reference 1).

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2006-214479

When a member having a plurality of colors, such as a cowl, is divided into a plurality of parts for each color and fixed to each other, the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 is used. Therefore, it is necessary to form a claw portion and a wedge portion, and a large change in shape is required for the divided portion. In this case, the beauty of the cowl may be impaired. Further, the design of the cowl is narrowed because a large shape change is required for the divided portions.

In this way, when the parts divided into a plurality of parts are fixed to each other, a large shape change is required for each part, and the width of the design in a state of being fixed to each other is narrowed.

The present invention can fix the plurality of objects to be fixed to each other without requiring a complicated shape for the plurality of objects to be fixed, and the design width in a state in which the objects to be fixed are fixed to each other is narrowed. It aims at providing the clip which can suppress this.

The clip of the present invention includes a clip body, a displacement portion provided on at least one of both end portions of the clip body along an imaginary straight line assumed in the clip body, and extending to the other side, and a distal end of the displacement portion An engaging portion that is provided on a side and protrudes from the clip body, and the clip body is provided on a side opposite to a protruding side of the engaging portion with respect to the clip body, with respect to the clip body. And a protruding portion that protrudes. The displacement portion can be elastically deformed toward the clip main body so that a protruding amount of the engaging portion with respect to the clip main body is small.

In the present invention, the plurality of objects to be fixed can be fixed to each other without requiring a complicated shape for the plurality of objects to be fixed, and the width of the design in which the plurality of objects to be fixed are fixed to each other is narrowed. The clip which can suppress that can be provided.

The first through hole 21 is formed in the stacked portion 23. FIG. 7 shows a state in which the lower surface 16 of the first plate member 10 and the lower surface 24a of the parallel portion 24 are aligned with each other.

Therefore, in the second plate member 20, the laminated portion 23 and the parallel portion 24 are arranged at different positions in the lamination direction of the first and

second plate members

10 and 20. Specifically, the stacked unit 23 is located above the parallel unit 24. A connecting portion that connects the stacked portion 23 and the parallel portion 24 is a step portion 25 that forms a step in the stacking direction between the upper surface 23 a of the stacked portion 23 and the upper surface 24 b of the parallel portion 24. The

upper surfaces

23a and 24b are planes perpendicular to the vertical direction, that is, the stacking direction A.

As shown in FIG. 3, in the peripheral portion 23 b of the laminated portion 23, the portions on both sides of the first through hole 21 are in the penetration direction B of the second through hole 13 of the fixed object protrusion 11, that is, The second through hole 13 extends perpendicularly to the direction in which the inner surface extends. The penetration direction B is a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction A. In the peripheral portion 23b of the stacked portion 23, the portions on both sides of the first through hole 21 are the edge portion 23c of the step portion 25 and the edge portion 23d facing the edge portion of the first through hole 21. is there. The

edges

23d and 23c are parallel to each other. The center P1 of the first through hole 21 is the center between the

edges

23c and 23d. Both the

edges

23c and 23d are corners.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the clip 30. As shown in FIG. 4, the clip 30 includes a clip body 40, a pair of arm portions 50, and a first rib 60. The clip body 40 has a substantially rectangular planar shape and is long in one direction. In the present embodiment, the direction in which the clip body 40 extends is the first direction C.

Inside the clip body 40, a first rib 60 described later is provided in the center along the first direction C, and on both sides of the first direction C across the first rib 60, Each of the through holes 61 is formed. The through hole 61 penetrates the clip body 40 in the thickness direction.

The arm portion 50 includes an arm portion main body 51, a first inclined portion 52, and an engaging portion 53, and one is provided at each of both

end portions

41 and 42 along the first direction C in the clip main body 40. It has been. In other words, when a virtual straight line V parallel to the first direction C is set with respect to the clip main body 40, the arm portions 50 are formed at both end portions along the virtual straight line V in the clip main body 40.

The one arm portion 50 and the other arm portion 50 are symmetrical to each other with the first rib 60 interposed therebetween. For this reason, the arm part 50 formed in the one end part 41 of the 1st direction C in the clip main body 40 is demonstrated as a representative. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected also in the arm part 50 formed in the other end part 42 of the clip main body 40. FIG.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the clip 30 from an angle different from that in FIG. FIG. 5 shows the lower part of the clip 30. As shown in FIG. 4, the arm main body 51 is provided at one end 41 along the first direction C in the clip main body 40. The arm main body 51 protrudes from the one end 41 through the through hole 61 toward the first rib 60. A gap S 1 is formed between the edge 62 along the first direction C and the arm body 51 in the through-hole 61.

The end on the first rib side of the arm main body 51 is separated from the clip main body 40 as the first rib 60 is approached, in other words, on the opposite side of the end of the clip main body 40 where the arm 50 is provided. It is inclined with respect to the penetrating direction B of the through hole 61 of the clip main body 40 so as to move away from the clip main body 40 as it goes toward the end of the clip body 40. The penetration direction of the through hole 61 is a direction perpendicular to the first direction C and is defined as a second direction D. In the present embodiment, the vertical direction of the clip 30 is determined with the direction in which the arm main body 51 is separated from the clip main body 40 as the upward direction.

As shown in FIG. 4, the first inclined portion 52 is formed at the distal end portion of the arm portion main body 51. The first inclined portion 52 is separated from the first rib 60. In other words, a gap S 2 is formed between the first inclined portion 52 and the first rib 60. The upper surface of the first inclined portion 52 is a first inclined surface 52a. The first inclined surface 52a is a plane parallel to the third direction E perpendicular to the first and second directions C and D, and the first rib in the up-down direction, that is, the second direction D. It inclines so that it may fall as it goes to 60. In other words, the first inclined surface 52a extends toward the clip body 40 toward the distal end side.

The engaging portion 53 is formed on the upper portion of the first inclined portion 52. The first inclined portion 52 is located on the distal end side of the arm portion 50 with respect to the engaging portion 53 in the arm portion 50. A surface facing the first rib side in the engaging portion 53 is an engaging surface 53a. The engagement surface 53a is a surface perpendicular to the first direction C. The upper surface 50a of the arm portion 50 is inclined with respect to the second direction D, that is, the vertical direction so as to be lowered toward the one end portion 41 of the clip body 40.

When the first inclined portion 52 is pushed downward, the arm portion 50 elastically deforms a portion other than the first inclined portion 52 such as a connecting portion with the clip main body 40 in the arm portion 50, thereby the first inclined portion. 52 and the engaging portion 53 are displaced downward. That is, the engaging portion 53 and the first inclined portion 52 can be elastically displaced with respect to the clip body 40. When the load for pushing the first inclined portion 52 downward is removed, the first inclined portion 52 and the engaging portion 53 return to their original positions by the elastic force of the arm portion 50. In this embodiment, since the clip 30 is formed of resin, the first inclined portion 52 is easily elastically displaced.

FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the clip 30 and the first and

second plate members

10 and 20 taken along the line F6-F6 shown in FIG. FIG. 6 shows the clip 30 and the first and

second plate members

10 and 20 in the width direction F perpendicular to the laminating direction A and the penetrating direction B in the second through hole 13 of the fixed object protrusion 11. The state which cut | disconnected along the cross-sectional line parallel to the penetration direction B which passes along the center P2 is shown.

In the state shown in FIG. 6, the up-down direction of the clip 30 and the up-down direction of the first and

second plate members

10, 20, that is, the stacking direction A and the second direction D coincide. Furthermore, the first direction of the clip 30 is parallel to the penetration direction B of the second through hole 13, and the third direction E of the clip 30 is parallel to the width direction F of the fixed object protrusion 11. State.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, second inclined portions 58 are formed at both

end portions

56 and 57 in the first direction C in the lower end portion 55 of the clip main body 40. The second inclined portion 58 protrudes downward with respect to the clip body 40. The second inclined portion 58 has a second inclined surface 58a. The second inclined surface 58 a is the other side of the second inclined portion 58, that is, the surface on the second inclined portion 58 side on the other side with respect to the second inclined portion 58. The second inclined surface 58 a extends toward the through hole 61. More specifically, the second inclined surface 58a is a plane parallel to the third direction E, and as it approaches the other second inclined portion 58, it goes upward, that is, in the up-down direction, that is, the stacking direction. Inclined with respect to A.

Here, the size of the clip body 40 and the size of the arm portion 50 will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, in the clip 30, the first direction C is parallel to the penetration direction B of the second through-hole 13 in a state where the fixed object protrusion 11 is fitted in the first through-hole 21. In this posture, the clip 30 is inserted between the upper surface 14 of the second through-hole 13 and the second plate member 20 to fix the first and

second plate members

10 and 20 to each other.

In the clip body 40, in the first direction C, the second inclined surface 58a of one second inclined portion 58 is disposed on the edge portion 23c of the second plate member 20, and the other second second surface 58a. The second inclined surface 58 a of the inclined portion 58 has a size that is disposed on the edge portion 23 b of the step portion 25.

In the arm portion 50, the first inclined surface 52 a of the first inclined portion 52 contacts the edge portion 14 a of the upper surface 14 of the second through-hole 13 in a state where one first inclined portion 52 is displaced downward. The first inclined surface 52a of the first inclined portion 52 contacts the other edge portion 14a of the upper surface 14 of the second through hole 13 with the other first inclined portion 52 displaced downward. It has the size to touch.

As described above, in the state shown in FIG. 6, the second inclined surface 58 a is in contact with the

edges

23 b and 23 c of the second plate member 20, and the first inclined surface 52 a is the second penetrating surface. It is in contact with the edge 14 a of the upper surface 14 of the hole 13. The first inclined portion 52 is displaced downward, and is therefore biased upward by the elastic force of the arm portion 50. For this reason, the 1st inclined surface 52a is contact | abutting in the state urged | biased from the downward direction with respect to the edge part 14a. The arm portion 50 is an example of a biasing unit that biases the first inclined portion 52 against the edge portion 14a.

As shown in FIG. 4, the first rib 60 is provided at the center of the clip body 40 in the first direction C and extends in the third direction E. On both sides of the first rib 60, when the first inclined portion 52 of the arm portion 50 is displaced in the up-down direction, that is, in the second direction D, the concave portion 63 is considered so as not to contact the first inclined portion 52. Is formed. As shown in FIG. 6, the first rib 60 is fitted into the second through-hole 13 in a state where the clip 30 fixes the first and

second plate members

10 and 20 to each other. As shown in FIG. 1, the width L1 along the third direction E of the clip body 40 is constant at any position along the first direction C. As shown in FIG. The width L1 is slightly smaller than the width L2 of the second through hole 13 in consideration of inserting the clip 30 into the second through hole 13. . Also in the first rib 60, the width along the third direction E is L1. As described above, the first rib 60 is fitted into the second through-hole 13 in this embodiment, as described above, that L1 = L2 or L2 is slightly larger than L1.

Further, the first rib 60 protrudes upward with respect to the clip body 40.

Next, an example of the operation of assembling the clip 30 into the second through hole 13 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 2, the fixed object protrusion 11 of the first plate member 10 is fitted into the first through hole 21 of the second plate member 20.

Next, adjust the posture of the clip 30. Specifically, the vertical direction of the clip 30 is aligned with the vertical direction of the first and

second plate members

10 and 20, and the first direction C of the clip 30 and the through direction B of the second through hole 13 are In addition, the positions of the clip 30 and the second through hole 13 are matched.

Then, the clip 30 is pushed into the second through hole 13 along the first direction C. At this time, the upper surface 50 a of the arm portion 50 arranged forward in the pushing direction among the both arm portions 50 abuts on the edge portion 14 a of the upper surface 14 of the second through hole 13. When the clip 30 is further pushed in from the contacted state, the arm portion 50 is elastically deformed downward by being pressed downward by the edge portion 14a. In other words, the arm part 50 is pushed downward. As the clip 30 is pushed into the second through hole 13, the arm portion 50 is pushed further downward.

Further, in the arm portion 50 located rearward along the pushing direction, the inclined surface 52 a of the first inclined portion 52 comes into contact with the edge portion 14 a of the upper surface 14 of the second through hole 13. When the clip 30 is further pushed into the second through-hole 13 from this state, the edge portion 14a of the second through-hole 13 moves along the first inclined surface 52a in the rear arm portion 50 along the pushing direction. Since it comes to push down, the arm part 50 located back along the push direction is pushed down.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6, when the edge portion 14a of the upper surface 14 of the second through-hole 13 rides on the engaging portion 53 of the arm portion 50 positioned forward along the pushing direction, the front side along the pushing direction is reached. The arm portion 50 located at the position returns upward until the edge portion 14a of the upper surface 14 of the second through-hole 13 comes into contact with the first inclined surface 52a by the elastic force of the arm portion 50.

Note that, as described above, in the state shown in FIG. 6, both the arm portions 50 are displaced downward by being pushed by the edge portion 14 a of the upper surface 14 of the second through hole 13. The first inclined surfaces 52a urge the edge portion 14a of the upper surface 14 of the second through-hole 13 upward from below by the elastic force of the arm portion 50.

The clip 30 has an edge portion 14a as a result of the first inclined surface 52a of the arm portion 50 disposed forward along the pushing direction biasing the edge portion 14a of the upper surface 14 of the second through-hole 13 upward. Is guided downward along the first inclined surface 52a, and the clip 30 is urged to advance in the pushing direction.

On the other hand, the first inclined surface 52a of the arm portion 50 disposed rearward along the push-in direction is urged toward the upper portion 14a of the upper surface 14 of the second through hole 13 from below to above, The edge portion 14a is guided downward along the first inclined surface 52a, and the clip 30 is urged to advance in the direction opposite to the pushing direction.

The structure of both the arm portions 50 is the same, and therefore the urging force against the edge portion 14a of the upper surface 14 of the second through hole 13 in both the first inclined surfaces 52a is also the same. The urging force for urging the object protrusion 11 to advance in the insertion direction and the urging force for urging the object protrusion 11 to advance in the opposite direction to the insertion direction are positioned at a balance position. That is, the clip 30 is positioned in a state in which the first rib 60 is fitted in the second through hole 13.

Note that the shape of the clip 30 is symmetrical with respect to the first direction C across the first rib 60, so that the second shape can be obtained from either end 41 or 42 in the first direction C of the clip 30. It can be inserted into the through hole 13.

When the clip 30 is to be pulled out from the state of FIG. 6, the rear arm portion 50 is relatively engaged with the edge portion 14a of the upper surface 14 of the second through hole 13 on the first inclined surface 52a along the pulling direction. It is pushed downward so as to proceed toward the joint portion 53.

Then, the engagement surface 53a of the engagement portion 53 comes into contact with the peripheral surface 15 of the fixed object protrusion 11 in the first direction C. The engaging surface 53a and the peripheral surface 15 are parallel to each other. For this reason, since the engagement surface 53a engages with the peripheral surface 15 by contacting the peripheral surface 15 in the pulling direction, the clip 30 is prevented from being further extracted. As described above, when the clip 30 is pulled out, the state in which the engagement surface 53a of the engagement portion 53 and the peripheral surface 15 of the fixed object protrusion 11 are engaged is an example of the engageable state referred to in the present invention. It is.

Next, an example of the operation when the clip 30 is pulled out from the second through hole 13 will be described. First, one engaging portion 53 of both arm portions 50 is pushed in to the position where the engaging surface 53a does not contact the peripheral surface 15 of the second through hole 13 in the pulling direction. Next, the clip 30 is pulled out while being pushed in. As a result, the engagement surface 53a of the engagement portion 53 and the peripheral surface 15 are released from engaging in the pulling direction, so that the clip 30 can be pulled out.

In the clip 30 configured as described above, the clip 30 is formed by simply forming the fixed object protrusion 11 on the first plate member 10 and forming the first through hole 21 on the second plate member 20. Can be used to fix the first and

second plate members

10 and 20 together. Therefore, the first and

second plate members

10 and 20 can be fixed to each other without requiring a complicated shape for the first and

second plate members

10 and 20.

For example, even when two members constituting a cowl of a motorcycle are fixed to each other using the clip 30, a protrusion similar to the protrusion 11 for the fixed object is provided on one of the two members constituting the cowl. These two members can be fixed to each other using a clip simply by forming and forming a through hole similar to the first through hole 21 in the other member. Furthermore, since only the protrusion and the through hole are formed, the appearance of the cowl is not impaired.

In this way, since there is no multi-color molding of a single object formed by fixing a plurality of objects to be fixed to each other, the width of the design of the single object due to high technology required for multi-color molding is reduced. There is no.

Further, when the engaging portion 53 is supported elastically and displaceably with respect to the clip body 40, that is, when the arm 30 is elastically deformable, the clip 30 is pulled out from the second through hole 13. For this, it is only necessary to push in the engaging portion 53. Then, after the clip 30 is pulled out from the second through hole 13, the position of the engaging portion 53 returns to the original position by the elastic force of the arm portion 50. For this reason, the extraction operation of the clip 30 can be simplified. In addition, the displacement range when the arm part 50 displaces the engaging part 53 to the position from which the engagement with the peripheral surface 15 of the protrusion part 11 for fixed objects is cancelled | released is an elastic deformation | transformation range. For this reason, plastic deformation does not remain in the arm portion 50.

Further, the clip body 40 is urged downward by the reaction by the first inclined portion 52 being urged upward from below to the edge portion 14a of the upper surface 14 of the second through-hole 13. . Therefore, the second inclined surface 58a of the second inclined portion 58 is urged so as to be pressed against the

edge portions

23b and 23c of the second plate member 20, so that the second inclined surface 58a and the edge The state where the

parts

23b and 23c are always in contact with each other is maintained. For this reason, it is suppressed that the clip 30 rattles with respect to the first and

second plate members

10 and 20.

In addition, by making the portion of the clip body 40 that contacts the second plate member 20 a second inclined surface 58a, both the second inclined surfaces 58a have an edge portion 23b according to the interval between the

edge portions

23b and 23c. , 23c can be simultaneously contacted with the

edges

23b, 23c by changing the contact location. For this reason, rattling of the clip 30 with respect to the first and

second plate members

10 and 20 is further suppressed.

When the first rib 60 is fitted into the second through-hole 13, it is possible to suppress relative displacement between the first and

second plate members

10 and 20. This point will be specifically described.

Regarding the relative displacement along the width direction F of the first and

second plate members

10 and 20, the displacement increases as the first rib 60 contacts the inner surface of the second through hole 13. Is suppressed. Since the first rib 60 is fitted in the second through-hole 13 in the width direction F, the relative displacement along the width direction F of the first and

second plate members

10 and 20 is increased. Is further suppressed. The relative positional shift along the vertical direction of the first and

second plate members

10 and 20 is suppressed from increasing when the first rib 60 contacts the upper surface 14 of the second through-hole 13. Is done. The first rib 60 protrudes upward with respect to the clip body 40. For this reason, since the clearance gap between the 1st rib 60 and the upper surface 14 of the 2nd through-hole 13 can be made small, the relative shift | offset | difference between the 1st,

2nd board members

10 and 20 can be made still smaller. .

Furthermore, when the first rib 60 is formed, the rigidity of the clip 30 is improved, and when a relative displacement occurs between the first and

second plate members

10 and 20, a load that causes the displacement is caused by the clip 30. Since the deformation of the clip 30 can be suppressed to a small extent by acting on the first rib 60 having high rigidity, the relative displacement between the first and

second plate members

10 and 20 can be further suppressed. .
