BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Molding clips suitable for fixing moldings to the edges of automobile engine hoods, trunk lids, etc. for decorative purposes are known. Methods for fixing the molding to the vehicle body are also known, and the following two methods are commonly used. One method is to first attach a clip to the vehicle body through a mounting hole in the vehicle body or a stud fixed to the vehicle body, and then to fix the molding to the clip. Another method is to attach a molding clip first and secure the clip to a mounting hole or stud in the vehicle body.

When fixing a molding to the edge of an engine hood, trunk lid, etc., it must be firmly fixed so that it cannot easily come off. In this regard,
The former method of attachment has the disadvantage that it is not possible to increase the holding force, so the latter method of attaching the clip to the molding first is used.

Problems to be solved by the invention However, in order to attach the clip to the molding, it is necessary to slide the clip inserted through the opening at the end of the molding to a predetermined position. However, this sliding is a cumbersome task when the molding is long. Further, once the clips have been slid to a predetermined position, it is necessary to caulk the molding or glue the clips in place, which is a troublesome and time-consuming work, especially when there are a large number of clips.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a clip that can be fixed to the molding without requiring sliding work, caulking work or adhesive work when attaching to the molding, and has a high fixing force to the molding. is to provide.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve this purpose, according to the present invention,
A molding clip for fixing a molding to a panel of a vehicle body, etc., which has a first locking part that locks on one inner bent edge of the molding and a second locking part that locks on the other inner bent edge of the molding. A molding attachment portion having a molding attachment portion and a panel attachment portion to be fixed to the panel are integrally molded, and the molding attachment portion has a molding attachment portion provided adjacent to the first molding locking portion and having slits on both sides of the molding attachment portion. An elastic piece is provided that is separated from the attachment body and elastically presses the inner wall of the molding.
The locking portion is connected to the molding attachment portion main body via a slit so as to be able to bend in a direction approaching the first locking portion, and the elastic piece has a sharp tip. A mall clip is provided which is characterized by:

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows how a molding 2 is fixed to a panel 3 of a vehicle body or the like using a clip 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS.
Details of clip 1 are shown in FIG.

The clip 1 is connected to one inner bent edge 4 of the molding 2.
The first locking part 5 and the other inner bent edge 6
It consists of a molding attachment part 8 having a second locking part 7 which is engaged with the molding attachment part 8, and a panel attachment part 10 integrally molded with the molding attachment part 8. Note that, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2b, it is preferable that the outline of the molding attachment portion 8 when viewed from the side is formed in a shape that matches the inner side surface of the molding 2.
Thereby, the clip 1 can hold the molding 2 more reliably.

First, the panel mounting portion 10 is simply formed in the shape of a horizontally extending plate, with a round hole 11 bored in the center thereof, as best shown in FIG. 2a. A screw member 13 such as a tatsupin screw is inserted into this round hole 11, and the screw member 13 is inserted into the vehicle body 3.
Screw grommet 14 inserted into the mounting hole of
The clip 1 can be fixed to the vehicle body 3 by screwing into the clip 1. This fixing is carried out after the molding 2, to which the clip 1 is attached, is carried into the automobile outfitting line, where it is fixed to the vehicle body, such as the engine hood or trunk lid, with screw members 13.

Next, of the molding attachment part 8 incorporating the features of the present invention, the first locking part 5 is located on the side of the panel attachment part 10 and from the panel attachment part 10, as is clear from FIG. 2a. It is formed into a wing shape that extends in the direction of separation. This wing shape allows the first inner bent edge 4 of the molding 2 to be stably held at two separate points. Further, an elastic piece 17 is provided on the molding attaching portion 8 adjacent to the first molding locking portion 5 . This elastic piece 17
is separated from the molding attachment main body by slits 16 and 18 on both sides thereof, and is adapted to elastically press against the inner wall of the molding 2.
The elastic piece 17 is preferably formed thin in order to improve its elasticity. Moreover, this elastic piece 17 is
After the clip 1 is attached to the molding 2 at a predetermined position, the clip 1 is formed into a wing shape having the same shape as the first locking part 5 so that the position does not shift. The tip is sharply formed so as to pierce the vinyl film or the like covering the inside of the molding. For this reason, the inner wall of the molding 2 may also be coated with a material that easily penetrates or has a high coefficient of friction.

The second locking portion 7 of the molding attachment portion 8 is connected to the main body of the molding attachment portion 8 via the slit 20 so that it can be bent in the direction approaching the first locking portion 5. This situation is best shown in FIGS. 2d and e, so please refer to them. That is, the second locking portion 7 has the slit 20, so that
Since the molding 2 can be bent in the direction approaching the first locking part 5, the molding 2 before locking as shown by the imaginary line in FIG.
Before reaching the locking position shown by the solid line, elasticity is provided that allows the inner bent edge 6 of the molding 2 to overcome the second locking portion 7. The elasticity of the second locking portion 7 is determined as long as the inner bent edge 6 of the molding 2 can overcome the second locking portion 7, and the elasticity of the second locking portion 7 is determined by the width and depth of the slit 20 or the plate shape of the second locking portion 7. The thickness and height of the part can be selected arbitrarily.

When the clip 1 having such a structure is used to fix the molding 2 to the panel 3, the clip 1 is first attached to the molding 2 at a predetermined position as shown in FIG. To attach the molding 2, first, the first locking part 5 of the molding attachment part 8 is locked to one inner bent edge 4 of the molding, and (Actually,
clip 1) to clip 1 (actually,
With relative rotation (with respect to the molding 2), the opposite inner molding bent edge 6 rides over the second locking part 7, thereby locking into the second locking part 7. That is, the clip 1 according to the present invention is fixed in a predetermined position on the molding 2 only by this rotation.

The molding 2 with the clip is transported from a molding manufacturer etc. to an automobile outfitting line, where it is attached to a panel 3 of an engine hood etc. using a screw member 13 or the like.
This fixes the molding 2 to the panel 3.

A second embodiment of the clip according to the present invention is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4a to 4d. In these figures, FIG. 3 shows how the molding 2 is fixed to a panel 3 of a vehicle body or the like using the clip of the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. details are shown. As is clear from these figures, the molding attachment part in this clip is the same as the clip 1 of the first embodiment.

The difference from the clip 1 of the first embodiment lies in the panel attachment portion 23, which is not formed in a plate shape extending laterally as in the first embodiment. That is, this panel attachment part is formed into a short plate shape that does not extend from the molding attachment part 8, and the plate thickness is also formed to be somewhat thick. Insert molded. Therefore, unlike the clip 1 of the first embodiment, without adding the screw member 13, as shown in FIG. 3, using the nut 25,
The clips can be fixed to the panel 3.

The clip of this second embodiment is the same as the clip of the first embodiment except for the panel attachment portion, so further explanation will be omitted.

Effects of the invention According to the invention, the molding attachment part of the clip is provided adjacent to the first molding locking part, and both sides are separated from the molding attachment part main body by slits, so that the inner wall of the molding can be elastically The second locking part is connected to the main body of the molding attachment part through the slit so that it can be bent in the direction approaching the first locking part. , the clip can be attached to the molding in a predetermined position without sliding, and the clip after installation is fixed in its predetermined position without caulking the molding or using adhesive, and in particular, Since the tip of the elastic piece is sharply formed, the tip pierces the vinyl coating inside the molding, and the force with which the clip is fixed to the molding is maintained at a sufficiently high level.
