CLIP FOR MOUNTING COMPONENT, AND COMPONENT-MOUNTING STRUCTURE

摘要

In this clip for mounting a component, a first plate portion includes first engaging pawls, and a second plate portion second engaging pawls, are linked by a linking-side plate portion in the rear end region on a side having either one of the plate portions, and first and second side plate portions which bend and extend from the first and second plate portions are in contact on the side having the other plate portion. The linking-side plate portion and the first and second side plate portions cut through a gap portion formed as an opening in the rear of the first and second plate portions of the clip, and gap portions formed as openings in both sides.

主权项

1. A clip for mounting a component, wherein, when the clip made of a plate metal is inserted from a component-side through-hole formed in a component for an automobile interior to which the clip is being mounted into a panel-side through-hole formed in a panel where the component is mounted, the clip engages in the panel and the component comes to be secured in the panel; the clip comprising:
a first plate portion and a second plate portion extending in a clip longitude direction while facing each other across a fixed gap, the clip longitude direction being a direction in which the clip is inserted; a linking side plate portion for linking together rear end portions in one set of first side edges in a clip width direction orthogonal to the clip longitude direction in both the first plate portion and the second plate portion; a first side plate portion and second side plate portion bending and extending in directions of approaching each other from rear end portions in the clip longitude direction in another set of second side edges in the clip width direction in both the first plate portion and the second plate portion; a first distal end plate portion and second distal end plate portion bending and extending in directions of approaching each other from distal end edges in the clip longitude direction of the first plate portion and the second plate portion; a first engaging protuberance formed by cutting and raising part of the first plate portion in a direction away from the second plate portion in a clip thickness direction orthogonal to both the clip insertion direction and the width direction in order to engage in the panel; and a second engaging protuberance formed by cutting and raising part of the second plate portion in a direction away from the first plate portion in the clip thickness direction in order to engage in the panel; a distal end of the first side plate portion and a distal end of the second side plate portion either being in contact with each other or facing each other across a gap narrower than a clip plate thickness; and a distal end of the first distal end plate portion and a distal end of the second distal end plate portion either being in contact with each other or facing each other across a gap narrower than the clip plate thickness.
