<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixation device, structure for fixing a fixed member, a method of fixing a fixed member and a method of releasing fixation effected by the fixation device reduced in the number of parts items and having excellent workability. <P>SOLUTION: When an insertion section 22 of a clip 14 is inserted into a through hole 16 and passed through the through hole 16, a claw section 32 restores its shape and the upper surface of the claw section 32 becomes capable of making contact with the peripheral edge of the through hole 16. In this state, an operation piece 26 is inserted into a fixation hole 18 in a body panel 10 and passed through the fixation hole 18. Then, the operation piece 26 restores its shape and becomes capable of making contact with the peripheral edge of the fixation hole 18. An operation section 56 is tilted from this state to cause a lock bar 52 to engage with a lock groove 44. With this structure, movement of the operation piece 26 is restricted, and a housing 12 is fixed to the body panel 10. Since the housing 12 can be fixed to the body panel 10 by the only clip 14, the number of parts items can be reduced in comparison with a conventional one, and workability is good. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
