Are roughly divided into two members. The former clip 50 is composed of a head portion 51 and a shaft portion 52, and is provided with a hole locking flange 53 in multiple vertical stages with respect to the shaft portion 52.
The clip 50 is attached to the mounting panel P
Is mounted on the mounting panel P by pushing the shaft portion 52 into the mounting holes M1 and P1. In the mounting operation, the shaft 52 is pushed into the mounting holes M1 and P1 with the swinging displacement of the flange 53, and the mounting is completed when the head 51 hits the member M to be mounted. On the other hand, the latter clip 60 is a female member 61 having a cylindrical body 62 penetrating vertically and a flange 66 provided on the upper and outer circumferences of the body 62, and the flange 60 and the body 62. And a male member 65 having a shaft 67 that can be inserted. The body portion 62 is divided into a plurality of swinging pieces 64 by a vertical slit, and a locking claw 6 provided at a protruding end of the swinging piece 64 is provided.

The shaft portion 67 has a main retaining groove 69 provided at a substantially intermediate peripheral portion and a temporary retaining concave portion 68 provided at a peripheral portion of the distal end. From the temporarily fixed state in which the claw 64a is engaged with the temporarily fixed concave portion 68 (the state in which the swinging piece 64 is not expanded and deformed), the claw 64a is further engaged with the permanent groove 69 as shown in FIG. Therefore, after the clip 60 is inserted into the mounting holes M1 and P1 in the temporarily fixed state, the mounting member M is mounted on the mounting panel P by pushing the male member 65 into the body 62. In the mounting operation, the shaft portion 67 is pushed into the body portion 62 with the swinging displacement of the swinging piece 64, and
The mounting is completed when 9 engages with the locking claw 64a.

The fixing or locking force (hereinafter, referred to as a fixed holding force) is proportional to the swing displacement of the flange 53 with respect to the hole diameter of the mounting holes M1, P1, and the stronger the flange 53 is, the larger the hole diameter and the thicker. Becomes However, in this structure, the difference between the pushing force of the shaft portion 52 to the mounting holes M1, P1 and the pulling force is small,
If the pressing force is designed to be small in order to improve the mounting property, the fixed holding force is also reduced. Also, the mounting hole M
1, the fluctuation of the fixed holding force due to the variation in the hole diameter of P1 becomes remarkable. In the mounting operation, there is a possibility that the head 51 may not be in close contact with the mounted member M in the mounted state, due to lack of moderation at the end of the insertion of the shaft portion 52.

る。The fixed holding force of the clip 60 is proportional to the amount of displacement of the rocking piece 64 with respect to the diameter of the mounting holes M1, P1, and the force of engagement between the locking groove 69 and the locking claw 64a. at the same time,
The male member 65 is switched from the temporarily fixed state to the fully locked state with the swing of the rocking piece 64, and the displacement of the rocking piece 64 in the diameter reducing direction is restricted by the presence of the shaft 67 in the fully locked state. Therefore, the above-mentioned moderation feeling is excellent, and the fixed holding force can be made larger than the pressing force. However, in this structure, for example, if the member to be mounted M is a vehicle ceiling trim material or a side trim material, and the specification is such that a plurality of members can be mounted to a roof panel or a side panel serving as the mounting panel P, the clip 60 is If the clip 60 is simply inserted into the mounting holes M1 and P1 from the temporarily fixed state, it will fall out or tilt, so each clip 60 must be inserted into the mounting holes M1 and P1 in order and immediately pushed to the final locking state. That is, in the mounting operation, the clips 60 are temporarily fixed to the mounting holes M1, P1, and thereafter, the clips 60 cannot be permanently fixed, so that the operation procedure and the like are restricted. Further, in this structure, when the amount of radial expansion displacement of the rocking piece 64 is increased and the fixed holding force is further strengthened, the pushing force of the male member 65 is increased and the workability is deteriorated. In addition, when the thickness of the member to be mounted M or the thickness of the mounting panel P is different, the amount of displacement of the rocking piece 64 changes and the fixed holding force also fluctuates.

実に押し入れられる。The above invention is more preferably embodied as in claims 2 to 5. First, a plurality of the engaged portions 26 are formed at substantially equal intervals along the axial direction, and a portion at an appropriate position according to the thickness or the like of the attached member 2 is used as the engaging portion. It is configured to engage with the pawl 15. This has the advantage that, even if the members to be mounted 2 have different thicknesses, as shown in FIG. 5, they can be mounted on the panel 3 with the same fixed holding force, thereby providing versatility. Second, the engaged portion 26 is provided between the flanges 25 having an outer diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of the body 11 and on the uppermost flange 25. This is because the versatility is realized by the simple structure of the flange 25 and the trunk 1
1 so that stable and strong engagement with the locking claw 15 can be obtained. Third, the mounting claw 14a is defined in the body 11 through a substantially U-shaped slit 16 and has a base end 14a.
b is provided on the free end side of the swinging piece 14 having a thickness smaller than the thickness of the body 11, and the mounting hole 3a of the panel 3 is provided with a diameter reduction into the body 11 through the swing of the base end 14b. It can be pushed into This is because even when the amount of protrusion of the mounting claw 14a is increased to increase the fixing force to the panel 3, the presence of the base end 14b in which the swinging piece 14 becomes thinner causes the body 11
It can be easily swung into the inside, so that it can be easily attached to the panel 3. Fourth, the male member 20 is connected to the inner diameter side of the flange portion 12 of the female member 10 via a small fragile portion 13,
The fragile portion 13 makes the mounting claw 14a the mounting hole 3 of the panel 3.
In this configuration, the cutting force is stronger than the pressing force at the time of press-fitting engagement with a, and can be cut with a pressing force slightly larger than the pressing force. This is not only because the female and male members 10 and 20 are integrally formed via the fragile portion 13, which is excellent in management and handling. Mounting hole 3a of panel 3 by pressing operation
At the same time, the mounting member 2 can be mounted on the panel 3 through the engagement between the engaged portion 26 and the locking claw 15 by the continuous pressing operation of the male member 20. In this case, since the male member 20 is connected to the inner diameter side of the female member 10 via the fragile portion 13, the male member 20 is reliably pushed into the body 11 along with the cutting of the fragile portion 13.

ことも可能である。The member to be mounted 2 is placed on the panel 3 and positioned so that the mounting hole 2a coincides with the mounting hole 3a. From this state, the operator inserts the clip 1 into the mounting holes 2a, 3a as shown in FIG. In this case, for example, the head 21 of the male member 20 is picked, and the distal end of the female member 10 is attached to the mounting hole 2.
a, 3a and pressed in the direction of the arrow. Then, the female member 10 falls down until the rocking piece 14 hits the mounting hole 3a, and then the rocking piece 14 passes through the mounting hole 3a while reducing the diameter of the rocking piece 14 into the body portion 11 by the pressing force F1. The original shape is restored, and the mounting claw 14a engages with the edge of the mounting hole 3a as shown in FIG. In this engagement structure, the shaft 22
Is not inserted into the body 11 yet, and the diameter of the rocking piece 14 inward is not restricted. Therefore, even if the amount of protrusion of the mounting claw 14a is increased, it can be engaged with a relatively weak pressing force F1. On the other hand, although the female member 10 is attached to the panel 3 through the engagement between the attachment claw 14a and the attachment hole 3a, the fixing force is weak because the swinging piece 14 can be reduced in diameter into the body portion 11. However, in this mounting state, even when the mounting member 2 is under the panel 3 like a ceiling trim material and the clip 1 is in a suspended state, once the mounting claw 14a is engaged with the mounting hole 3a, Even if you release your hand, it will not accidentally come off the mounting hole 3a. Therefore, when a large number of clips 1 are used, it is also possible to perform the following fixing work after setting each of the clips 1 in the state shown in FIG. 4B.

被係合部２６と係合している。The operator moves the male member 2 from the state shown in FIG.
When 0 is pressed with the pressing force F2, the fragile portion 13 is cut, and the cut causes the shaft portion 22 to fall into the body portion 11, whereby the lowermost flange portion 25 is regulated by the locking claw 15 as shown in FIG. You. The pressing force F2 here is a force for cutting the fragile portion 13, and is set to be larger than the above-described pressing force F1.
When the male member 20 is further pushed in the direction of the arrow from the state of FIG. 4C, the lowermost flange 25 as shown in FIG.
The locking claw 1 is oscillated and displaced like the flange 25 on it.
Go over 5 in order. The pressing force F3 is a force by which the flange 25 gets over the locking claw 15, and is set to be smaller than the pressing force F2. However, as the pressing force F3,
When the fixed holding force is further increased, it may be set to be larger than the pressing force F2. In any case, the operator can feel a click when the flange 25 goes over the locking claw 15. Then, when the head 21 comes into contact with the member 2 to be mounted, the mounting operation of the corresponding clip 1 is completed. FIG. 5A shows a state where the member to be attached 2 is attached to the panel 3 with the clip 1 in this manner.
In this example, the locking claw 15 is engaged with the engaged portion 26 on the uppermost flange 25.

構成に加え発明品の汎用性をより高めることができる。By the way, the thickness of the attached member 2 depends on the target member and is T1 in FIG. 5 (a) and FIG. 5 (b).
As in the example of T2, the plate thickness may be partially different, such as T1 and T2, even for the same member. The above-described clip 1 can fix the attached member 2 to the panel 3 with the same fixed holding force even in such a case.
That is, in this structure, a plurality of engaged portions 26 are formed between the flange portions 25 provided in the upper and lower multi-stages, the upper diameter portion of the uppermost flange portion 25 and the lower diameter portion of the lowermost flange portion 25 are smaller. In addition, since the locking claw 15 is provided inside the distal end of the body portion 11 and is engaged with an arbitrary portion of the engaged portion 26, the locking claw 15 is affected by the thickness of the attached member 2. Thus, the fixed holding force of the clip 1 can be obtained, and the versatility is excellent. Further, in terms of versatility, if the flange portion 12 of the female member 10 is smaller than the mounting hole 2a of the mounted member 2, the female thickness is not affected by the plate thickness of the mounted member 2 as is apparent from FIG. Since the fixing force of the member 10 to the panel 3 and the engaging force of the engaged portion 26 and the engaging claw 15 can be always obtained at substantially the same level, the versatility of the invention can be improved in addition to the plurality of configurations of the engaged portion 26 described above. Can be more enhanced.

おいてより改善できる。As described above, in the clip of the present invention, when the female member is attached to the panel, the diameter of the mounting claw is reduced inside the body portion, and the diameter of the clip cannot be reduced into the body portion by pressing the male member. Therefore, the pressing force can be reduced even if the amount of protrusion of the mounting claw is increased and the fixing force to the panel side is increased, and the male member forms the engaged portion on the lower shaft portion of the shaft portion. As a result, the insertability into the body is excellent, and the engaged portion can be provided in a plurality of stages. Thereby, the product of the present invention has the advantages of the single member clip of FIG. 6 and the clip composed of the male and female members, and can further improve the handling, the mounting workability, the versatility, and the fixed holding force. .
