[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a molding attachment clip used for fixing a molding to the outer wall surface of an automobile body.

The clip of the present invention consists of a molding holder that holds the molding, and a mounting body that attaches this holder to a mounting hole formed in the body. The present invention provides a clip that is inserted into the mounting hole and when the shaft is pushed in, expands the locking piece provided on the mounting body to ensure the locked state. To provide a clip that can secure a strong locking state without damaging the paint film around a mounting hole, widen the tolerance range for the thickness of a body, and obtain locking without rattling. It is in.

In addition, this device allows the locking piece of the mounting body to be attached to the shaft to be aligned in a certain direction in relation to the shaft, so that the locking position relative to the edge of the mounting hole can be adjusted in the most effective manner when the shaft is expanded due to pushing. To provide a clip for attaching a molding which can be set at a desired position.

This invention will be explained below with reference to the embodiment shown in the drawings. 1 is a molding holder in which a shaft 3 is integrally extended from the back side of a plate-shaped molding holder 2; 4 is a molding holder that is attached to the shaft 3 of this holder; Mounting hole 6 opened in body 5
This is a mounting body that is inserted and locked together with the shaft 3.

In this embodiment, the plate-shaped holding part 2 of the holding body 1 is formed into a vertically elongated rectangular shape, and its upper edge 2a and lower edge 2b are inserted into a pocket 8 formed by folding back both edges of a molding 7 to hold it. I have made it possible. The shaft 3 extending from the back side of the holding part 2 is a cylindrical shaft with a tapered surface 9 at its tip, and a neck 10 having a smaller diameter than the shaft body is connected via this tapered surface to a conical shaft at its tip. It has a shaped head 11. The neck 10 and head 11 extend from this axis.
A reinforcing piece 12 having the same width as the diameter of the shaft 3 is provided on both sides of the neck and the head so as to reinforce the head.
It is designed to provide a.

On the other hand, the mounting body 4 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a collar 14 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of one of the openings, and a tongue-shaped locking piece 15 is provided on the body near the collar 14 by cutting out the peripheral wall. is provided. A small locking protrusion 16 is provided on the inner wall surface on the other end side of the body beyond this locking piece, and is small and protrudes along the circumferential direction. The outer circumferential surface of the mounting body is formed into a tapered surface 17 to facilitate insertion into the mounting hole 6.

This mounting body 4 has an outer diameter that matches the diameter of the mounting hole 6 so that it can be inserted therein, and an inner diameter that allows the shaft 3 of the holder to pass through it. Two of the locking pieces 15 are provided so as to sandwich the center line of the attachment body and face each other, and each of the locking pieces has its outer surface aligned with the surface of the body, and its inner surface directed toward the free end. Gradually increase the thickness toward .
Substantially, the spacing between the pieces is narrower than the inner diameter of the body.

This attachment body 4 is formed so that its overall length is equal to the length of the head 11 from the base end of the shaft 3, and as will be described later, it is designed so that it can wrap around the entire length of the shaft 3 when attached to the body. be.

Now, the holding body and mounting body formed in this way are individually molded from synthetic resin such as nylon resin, and until actual use, they are combined into one state by joining them as shown in Fig. 7. be placed.

In this connection, the shaft 3 of the holding body 1 is inserted through one opening of the attachment body 4, and its head 11 is stopped at a position past the tongue-shaped locking piece 15. By locking the head 11 with the free end of the locking piece 15, movement in the pulling direction is prevented, and at the same time, the thick inner surface of the locking piece 15 fits into the neck 10, and the tapered surface 9 Since it is in contact with the shaft, it is connected in a stable state, and the mounting body does not easily fall off from the shaft during handling.

In addition, when connecting these two bodies, the guide piece 13 provided at the tip of the shaft 3 abuts against the thick part of the inner surface of the locking piece 15 when passing between the locking pieces 15, so that the guide piece 13 is automatically connected. In order to avoid this collision, it passes between both locking pieces with its flat surface facing the locking piece, so when the mounting body 4 is connected to the shaft 3 as described above, both locking pieces of the mounting body 15, 15 are located above and below.

As described above, the clip of the present invention, in which the mounting body 4 is fitted onto the shaft 3 and integrally connected, has the upper edge 2a and the lower edge 2b of the holding portion 2 of the holding body connected to the pocket of the molding 7, as in conventional clips of this type. The mounting is carried out by inserting the shaft 3 fitted into the mounting hole 6 of the body into the mounting hole 6 of the body and hitting the surface of the molding with a tool such as a hammer.

FIG. 8 shows this mounting state. First, the mounting body 4 is inserted into the mounting hole 6, and the flange 14 is kept in contact with the front edge of the mounting hole to prevent further intrusion. , the shaft 3 is kept protruding from the mounting hole 6. When hit by a hammer in this state, the attached body is prevented from entering by the abutment of the collar 14, but the shaft 3 connects the tapered surface 9 to the attached body with the locking piece 15 as described above. Since it is in a state where it is only in contact with the inner surface, the locking piece is pushed open while moving forward inside the mounting body, and the head 11 at the tip is locked with the small locking protrusion 16.

Therefore, the pressed shaft 3 locks the head 11 with the small locking protrusion 16 and pushes open the locking piece 15 to receive resistance, so that the shaft 3 is prevented from coming off the mounting body 4, and the shaft 3 is prevented from slipping out of the mounting body 4. 4 expands the locking piece 15 and is prevented from being removed from the mounting hole 6, so that the clip is fixed to the body surface and the molding 7 fixed to the holding part 2 can be fixed.

In this way, with the clip of the present invention, the molding can be easily fixed by press-fitting the shaft 3 into the mounting hole of the body. Since the mounting hole 6 and the shaft do not rub against each other, the shaft is not damaged, and there is an advantage that it can be fixed smoothly without damaging the coating around the mounting hole.

The mounting body 4 is fixed by expanding the locking piece 15 and sandwiching the edge of the mounting hole from the inside and outside between the locking piece and the collar 14, so that a strong locking force is obtained, and the locking piece is Since it is formed in a tongue shape and expands while being bent to lock into the mounting hole 6, it has good adhesion and is also forgiving, and can sufficiently absorb changes in the thickness of the body, effectively preventing wobbling. Can be done.

In addition, the clip of the present invention specifies the direction of the locking piece 15 of the attachment body 4 by the guide piece 13 provided on the shaft 3, and when the holding part 2 of the holding body 1 is attached to the molding 7, this attachment At the same time, the locking pieces are located vertically and attached to the body in this state, and are always locked to the upper and lower edges of the mounting hole 6, as well as the holding portion 2 that presses the pocket of the molding 7. upper edge 2a of
Since this locking position corresponds to the lower edge 2b, a stable locking condition can be obtained without putting any force on the locking piece, and strong locking can be expected.

In addition, in the clip of the present invention, the attachment body is substantially directly engaged with the attachment hole 6, and the head 11 of the shaft 3 is engaged with the small locking protrusion 16 of the attachment body, so that the elasticity of the material is reduced. If the shaft 3 is forcibly pulled out by using the small locking protrusion 16, it is possible to deform the small locking protrusion 16 and remove it from the mounting body 4. At this time, it is possible to remove it without affecting the mounting hole 6 of the body. is possible,
It can also be reattached by press-fitting. Therefore, it is extremely advantageous when the molding needs to be removed when converting the molding or repairing the body.
