CLIP AND FASTENING STRUCTURE

摘要

A clip is provided with a pin and a main body having an opening for inserting the pin. The pin has a flange and a shaft extending down from the flange. The outer circumference of the flange curves downward. The main body has a bottom, a pair of latching claws downward from the bottom through the opening, support legs extending downward from the bottom between the latching claws, an annular loop element on the top side of the bottom, a sloping element of gradually lowering height from the outside annular element and annular thin-walled flange from the underside of the bottom. In the primary joined state, the latching claws pushing on the pin shaft spread apart, and the claw tips engage the pin latching convex element of the pin shaft. The attached member is held between the base elements of the latching claws and contact element on the under side of the bottom of the main body. The edge of the outer circumference of the pin flange is in contact with the inclined element of the main body, improving watertightness.

主权项

1. A clip assembly for installation in a through hole of a workpiece attached member from a top side of the attached member, the hole defining a perpendicular axis, and the clip comprising:
a pin including a pin shaft, and a pin flange extending radially from proximate a top end of the pin shaft and extending axially downward at an outer circumference of the pin flange; a main body including a bottom with an upper side and lower side and defining an opening for partial insertion of the pin, an annular loop projecting axially above the upper side of the bottom and surrounding the opening, and a sloping surface running radially outward and axially downward from a top of the annular loop to the bottom; and the outer circumference of the pin flange defining a pin diameter, the sloping surface defining an inner diameter proximate the top of the annular loop and an outer diameter proximate to the bottom, and the pin diameter is greater than the inner diameter and less than the outer diameter.
