Clip and attaching structure

摘要

A clip includes first and second clamping pieces provided to clamp a member to be fixed. The first clamping piece includes an insertion part to be inserted into a thorough hole of a fixed member. The insertion part includes a pair of strip member, each including a smaller width portion, a larger width portion and a stepped portion provided therebetween. In a course of the insertion part being inserted into the through hole, the larger width portions of the strip members pass the through hole while the strip members are flexed in the direction approaching to each other, and subsequently when the smaller width portions are inserted into the through hole, the strip members are allowed to be deformed in a direction separating from each other to return to an original state, whereby the stepped portions are locked to a region to be locked in the fixed member.

主权项

1. An attaching structure comprising:
a first member having a flat plate region; a second member having a through hole; and a clip which is attached to the first member and the second member to fix the first member with respect to the second member, wherein the clip includes:
a first clamping piece opposing a first face of the flat plate region of the first member;a second clamping piece opposing a second face of the flat plate region of the first member, the second face being opposite to the first face; anda connecting portion connecting the first and second clamping pieces, wherein the first clamping piece includes:
a first rib part which is connected to the connecting portion and provided substantially parallel to the second clamping piece;an insertion part which protrudes in a direction separating from the second clamping piece and which includes a first strip member connected to the first rib part, and a second strip member connected to the first strip member at a protruding end; anda second rib part which is connected to the second strip member, wherein each of the first and second strip members includes a smaller width portion, and a larger width portion provided at a protruding end side from the smaller width portion, the larger width portion being wider than the smaller width portion, wherein the insertion part is inserted into the through hole of the second member such that the smaller width portion contacts the through hole, wherein the second rib part provided at an opposite side to the first rib part, which is continued to the second clamping piece with respect to the insertion part, is inclined to open toward a tip end thereof, wherein the first member includes a guide slope, wherein the flat plate region of the first member is clamped between the first and second clamping pieces, so that the clip is attached to the first member, and the insertion part is inserted into the through hole of the second member such that the second rib part, which is inclined to open toward the tip end, contacts the guide slope, and wherein the guide slope has a curved slanted face which is open toward a position opposing the insertion part.
