Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a clip for a wind molding, more specifically, a flanged stud (hereinafter referred to as a T stud or simply a stud) protruding from a window frame portion of a vehicle or the like. The present invention relates to a wind molding clip that has a fastening portion that can be engaged with and a claw that can be locked to the wind molding, and that is used by inserting it between the window frame portion and the windshield.

(Prior Art) As such a conventional clip, there is a resin clip 1 shown in FIG.

This clip 1 is provided with an insertion port 3 substantially at the center of the lower end of a plate-shaped base 2, and a fitting portion 4 having a predetermined diameter is formed at the rear end of the insertion port 3, and the entrance of the insertion port 3 is also formed. A pair of retaining claws 5 project from the portion toward the fitting portion 4. On the other hand, a rectangular arch-shaped molding fixing portion 6 extends toward the upper end from the left and right end portions of the lower end of the base 2, and locking pawls 7 project from the upper side portion of the molding fixing portion 6. There is.

As shown in FIG. 7, the clip 1 configured as described above is provided between a window frame portion 8 of a body of a vehicle or the like and a window glass 9 fixed to the window frame portion 8 as indicated by an arrow in FIG. The clip 1 is fixed to the T stud 10 by inserting it along the direction A (vertical direction) and inserting the shaft portion 11 of the T stud 10 protruding from the window frame portion 8 into the fitting portion 4 from the insertion opening 3. In this state, the locking pawl 7 is locked to the flange edge 13 of the wind molding 12 to fix the wind molding 12.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in the above-mentioned use state, the window molding 12 mounted in an elastic pressure-bonded state across the window frame portion 8 and the window glass 9 floats upward. A strong force P is applied to the clip 1 in the direction of coming out of the T-stud 10 due to the reaction force that tends to dislodge and various other external forces (see FIGS. 7 and 8).
When the force acts, the pair of retaining claws 5 that come into contact with the shaft portion 11 of the T-stud 10 are pushed to the left and right along with the bending deformation of the entire clip 1, and the shaft portion 11 comes out of the fitting portion 4. However, there is a problem that the clip 1 is detached and the wind mall 12 is detached.

In order to remedy such a problem, it may be possible to provide a reinforcing joint 14 having a shape straddling the insertion port 3 as shown in FIG. 9 for the purpose of strengthening the retaining action of the claw 5. However, as shown by an imaginary line in FIG. 7, when the gap between the window frame portion 8 and the window glass 9 is narrow, the joint 14 interferes and the clip 1 cannot be inserted. There is. Further, if the retaining action of the claws 5 is simply strengthened as in the conventional example of FIG. 9, there is a disadvantage that it becomes difficult to remove the clip 1 from the T stud 10 positively when repairing or the like.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to eliminate such an inconvenience, and it is easy to attach to the T stud, and when the external force is strongly applied in the vertical pulling direction in the attached use state, the T stud or the like can be removed. (EN) It is an object to provide a clip for a wind molding that does not separate and is easily removed from the T-stud for repairs and that can be used even when the gap between the window frame portion and the windshield is narrow.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Means for solving the above problems include a base having a fastening portion engageable with a flanged stud, and a molding fixing portion having a claw capable of being locked with a wind molding. A clip for a wind molding that is used by inserting it between a window frame portion and a windshield, wherein the fastening portion is a stud shaft provided in a vertical direction which is a inserting direction of the clip from a lower end portion of a base. Part of the guide groove, and a stud that extends laterally from the inner part of the guide groove to the inner part of the base in a slanting direction and has a claw for retaining the stud shaft part on one side. The guide groove for introducing the shaft portion, and the stud fitting portion which is laterally opened and connected to the lateral guide groove to fit the stud shaft portion are provided. The base is a vertical guide groove On the side, the stud shaft portion can be bent so that it can be introduced into the stud fitting portion while projecting obliquely into the lateral guide groove so that the tip of the claw is located in the opening of the stud fitting portion. It is to be a structure.

In the above means, the stud fitting portion is formed to have a diameter substantially equal to that of the shaft portion of the stud, but the width of the guide groove may be set so that it can pass through the shaft portion of the stud. All or part of the width may be set larger than the diameter of the flange of the stud.

(Operation) The clip is inserted from the lower end side between the window frame part and the window glass, and the shaft part of the stud is introduced into the vertically oriented guide groove. Next, the clip is slid sideways along the sideways guide groove, and the shaft portion of the stud is inserted into the stud fitting portion while expanding the retaining claws.

When the shaft part is introduced into the stud fitting part, the retaining claws bend in a direction to widen the opening of the stud fitting part, allowing the shaft part to pass through, and after the shaft part is inserted into the stud fitting part. The nails
The shaft portion is prevented from coming off by protruding into the opening and positioning the tip of the claw at the outer end of the stud fitting portion.

Even if a strong force is applied to the clip in the pull-out direction (opposite direction to the insertion direction), the shaft is set to be detached from the stud fitting part by the lateral operation. I can't escape.

If you want to positively pull the clip out of the stud, press the retaining hooks that project into the opening with appropriate means to widen the opening, and then slide the clip sideways first to fit the stud shaft into the stud. The clip may be pulled out from the attachment portion to the guide groove, moved laterally along the guide groove, and then the clip may be pulled out vertically.

(Embodiment) Next, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

The T-stud is attached to the plate-shaped base 16 of the resin clip 15.
A fastening portion 18 for engaging with 17 is provided. This fastening part
The 18 is configured as follows.

That is, the clip 15 is provided at a portion slightly to the right of the center of the lower end portion (the end portion on the right side in the front direction in FIG. 1) of the base 16.
Vertical guide groove along arrow A, which is the insertion direction of
19 is provided so as to be cut toward the center of the base 16. The guide groove 19 has a width slightly larger than the diameter of the shaft portion 20 of the T stud 17, but the inlet portion thereof expands in a tapered shape to some extent.

From the rear end of the guide groove 19 to the predetermined rear portion of the base 16, a substantially lateral guide groove 21 that is slightly inclined is extended leftward in FIG. This guide groove 21 is also a T stud
It has a width slightly larger than the diameter of the shaft portion 20 of 17. A retaining claw 22 described later constitutes a wall portion of the lower side of the guide groove 21.

At the back end of the guide groove 21, there is provided a stud fitting portion 23 which is opened laterally with respect to the guide groove 21 and is formed in an arc shape having the same diameter as the shaft portion 20 of the T stud 17. With respect to the stud fitting portion 23, the above-mentioned retaining claw 22 is projected into the guide groove 21 from diagonally below the guide groove 21.
The tip portion of the claw 22 is located on the circumferential line (the outer end portion of the stud fitting portion 23) along the arc shape of the stud fitting portion 23, and the T stud
When the shaft portion 20 of 17 is to be inserted into or removed from the lateral opening with respect to the stud fitting portion 23 by an action force of a certain amount or more, this is allowed by the downward bending deformation. Further, since the base of the pawl 22 is attached to the reinforcing portion 24 having the wide width of the base 16, the shaft 20 inserted into the stud fitting portion 23 strongly resists the force of moving downward. To do.

In addition, a slightly thin step portion 26 is formed in the peripheral portions of the guide grooves 19 and 21 and the stud fitting portion 23 to allow passage of the flange 25 of the T stud 17. That is, the thickness of the base 16 is T
Almost corresponds to the height of the stud 17 (height to the top surface of the flange 25), and the height of the stepped portion 26 is the shaft portion 20 of the T stud 17.
Almost corresponds to the height of.

Next, from the left and right ends of the lower end of the base 16, the base 16
Square arch-shaped molding fixture 27 that surrounds the entire
Has been extended. A portion on the front end side of the molding fixing portion 27 rises to the front surface side in FIG. 1 through the inclined portion 28, and from the upper side portion thereof, a locking claw for locking the molding to the rear surface side.
29 is protruding.

The present embodiment is configured as described above, and its use state, action, and effect are shown in FIGS. 2 (a) to (c) and FIG.
It will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, in the gap between the window frame portion 30 and the window glass 31 of the body as shown in FIG. 3, the clip 15 is vertically oriented (along the arrow A direction in FIG. 2 (a)) from the lower end side thereof. Then, the shaft portion 20 of the T stud 17 is introduced into the vertically oriented guide groove 19. At this time, the flange 25 of the T-stud 17 slides on the step 26.

When the shaft portion 20 reaches the innermost end of the guide groove 19 as shown in FIG. 2B, the clip 15 is slid sideways (in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 2B). Then, the shaft portion 20 is inserted into the stud fitting portion 23 while expanding the retaining claw 22 downward. As shown in FIG. 2 (c), the claw 22 elastically returns to its original shape after passing through the shaft portion 20, and the shaft portion 20 has the stud fitting portion 23.
Prevents more free departure.

In this way, when the fastening portion 18 of the clip 15 is engaged with the T stud 17 as shown in FIG. 3, the fastening action of the shaft portion 20 and the flange 25
The clip 15 is fixed to the window frame portion 30 by the pressing action of.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the locking claw 29 of the clip 15 is provided.
By engaging the flange edge 33 of the wind molding 32 with respect to the wind molding 32, the wind molding 32 is fixedly mounted.

The window molding 32 is usually attached to the window frame portion 30 and the window glass 31 in an elastic pressure-bonded state for the purpose of improving the sealing property. Therefore Wind Mall
A reaction force that attempts to float upward is generated in 32, and based on this, a force P is applied to the clip 15 in the vertical direction, that is, in the pulling direction of the clip 15 (see FIG. 3). In addition, such force P may act due to various other external factors.
However, since the stud fitting portion 23 is opened laterally and the shaft portion 20 can be detached only in the lateral direction,
The shaft portion 20 does not come off from the stud fitting portion 23 due to the force P. Even if the force P is considerably strong, the pawl 22 may be supported by the reinforcing portion 24 as long as the force acts in the vertical direction, and the stud fitting portion 23 withstands the force P. For this reason,
It is possible to prevent the clip 15 from coming off and the wind molding 32 from falling off due to this.

On the other hand, when it is desired to positively remove the clip 15 from the T-stud 17 for the purpose of repair or the like, first open the wind molding 32 to unlock the flange edge 33 and the locking claw 29, and remove the wind molding 32. After detaching and pushing down the claw 22 of the clip 15 by an appropriate means, clip the clip 15 by the arrow B in FIG. 2 (b).
When a certain amount of force is applied to slide in the opposite direction, the shaft portion 20 spreads the claw 22 and relatively easily disengages from the stud fitting portion 23. Then, the clip 15 can be pulled out in the reverse order of the above attachment.

In the above embodiment, the stepped portion 26 is provided with a vertical guide groove.
It is formed so that it gradually becomes higher from 19 to the lateral guide groove 21 and the stud fitting portion 23.
The height of the stepped portion 26 in the peripheral portion of 23 may be slightly larger than the height of the shaft portion 20. In this case, in the state shown in FIG. 3, the base 16 is connected to the panel surface of the window frame portion 30 and the flange.
Since it is crimped and fixed between the clip 15 and 25, the rotational movement of the clip 15 around the T stud 17 is also restricted, and the work of attaching the wind molding 32 becomes easier. The slight bending deformation of the slightly thin stepped portion 26 further secures the above-mentioned crimping and fixing action.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

In the clip 34 of this embodiment, the vertical guide groove 35
T from the rear end to the sideways guide groove 36
Arc-shaped introduction part 39 with a diameter larger than the flange 38 of the stud 37
Is provided. The other configuration is the same as that of the clip 15 of the first embodiment described above. In FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, reference numeral 22 denotes a retaining claw that is obliquely formed in the lateral guide groove 36, and the shaft portion 40 of the T stud 37 is introduced into the stud fitting portion 41. When doing so, the shaft portion 40 can be bent so that it can be introduced into the stud fitting portion 41.

In this embodiment, when there is a gap having a certain width or more between the window frame portion and the windshield, the introduction portion 39 is provided with the T stud.
The shaft portion 40 of the T-stud 37 is fitted to the stud fitting portion 41 by directly fitting it in the axial direction (FIG. 4) and then sliding the clip 34 laterally along the guide groove 36.
(Fig. 5). By adopting such an attachment system, workability is further improved. The clip 34 uses the same method as the clip 15 and has the T-stud 37.
It can also be attached to and detached from.

The operation and effect of other points in this embodiment are similar to those of the first embodiment.

(Effect of the device) With the clip of the present invention, the stud shaft portion is inserted into the vertically oriented guide groove, and the shaft portion is guided to the stud fitting portion along the vertically and horizontally oriented guide grooves so that the clip becomes the stud. It can be attached and is easy to attach to the T-stud. T
With the clip of the present invention attached to the stud, the shaft is detached from the stud fitting portion through the lateral opening even if a strong force is applied in the vertical pull-out direction. Since the claw for use is located, it cannot be removed from the stud. In particular, in the present invention, the retaining claw is provided in the lateral guide groove so as not to be directly affected by the force in the vertical withdrawal direction, so that the clip attached to the shaft is oriented vertically. When a force in the pulling-out direction is applied, the pawl does not break, and the shaft portion can be prevented from coming off satisfactorily.

Also, when it is desired to positively remove the clip of the present invention attached to the T-stud, the opening is widened by pressing a retaining claw protruding into the opening with an appropriate means, and the shaft portion of the stud is guided along the guide groove. It can be guided and removed, and can be easily removed from the stud at the time of repair or the like. further,
Since the clip of the present invention does not unnecessarily increase the thickness of the clip, it can be used even if the gap between the window frame and the window glass is narrow.

In particular, since the lateral guide groove in the present invention is inclined in a diagonal direction, the stud shaft portion introduced from the vertical guide groove is different from the guide groove provided in the lateral direction in that the stud shaft portion has a vertical guide groove. There is an advantage that the stud shaft portion can be smoothly introduced without being introduced into the guide groove laterally extending from the groove.
