Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, generally, resin clips have a gripping force when installed, but the gripping force may decrease if the panels are repeatedly removed and attached due to changes over time or for maintenance or repair. For example, Depending on the design of the vehicle, there is a problem that it is desired to increase the clamping force by making the protruding portion extending from the upper edge of the fender sharper and longer.
[0009] In addition, resin clips increase in size when the clamping force is increased, making it difficult to apply to narrow parts called triangular windows.
[0010] In addition, for resin clips, if they pass through the spraying and baking process under the state of being subjected to the installation reaction force of the fender, the resin clips will soften due to temperature rise, and the U-shaped shape will open to reduce the clamping force. In case of reduction, there is a problem of increased man-hours for inspection and correction

Embodiment Construction

[0069] properly refer to Figure 1 to Figure 1 0, the installation structure 10 of the fender 12 composed of the spring clip 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0070] referential figure 1 and figure 2 A portion of the fender 12 and the side panel 11, that is, the periphery of the so-called triangular window portion 11a at the base of the front pillar 11b is shown. The side panel 11 is in a state assembled to a vehicle body (vehicle). Although a concave portion is formed on the triangular window portion 11a and colored glass is attached, for convenience of explanation, the glass attached to the triangular window portion 11a is removed so that the spring clip 1 can be observed.

[0071] Such as figure 1 and figure 2 Appropriately shown, the fender mounting structure 10 is a vehicle body structure that uses spring clips 1 to mount a fender 12 as a second panel to a side panel 11 as a first panel, and the side panel 11 is a...

Abstract

The present invention provides a spring clip, panel mounting workability good and stable and can indeed exert clamping force. Spring clip (1) the second panel (12) to be capable of detachably holding the first panel (11), having: a U-shaped clip body (2); mounted on the clip body and clamped imparting force of the spring member (3); and the clip body and the spring member is secured to the first panel of the fastening member (4), the clip body comprises: a holding within the base portion of the second panel (21) from the inside of the body; holding the second panel of the outer base portion (22) from the outside of the vehicle body; and a connecting portion (23), the spring member comprising: a base portion of the inner spring engages the base portion (31); and the outer portion of the base card bonding the outer spring base portion (32); and a spring coupling portion (33), having an inner portion for connecting the base portions interspersed spring insertion hole (23a), and by tightening the spring member and the inner portion and the base within the base portion is fixed to the first panel.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a mounting structure of a spring clip and a fender of an automobile, and more particularly relates to a mounting structure of a spring clip having a spring member mounted on a clip main body and a fender of an automobile. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is known a vehicle body structure in which a protrusion extending from an upper edge of a front fender to a front pillar is provided from the viewpoint of vehicle design and the lower end of the front pillar is covered by the protrusion. [0003] In the case of adopting such a vehicle body structure, it is necessary to use resin clips to fix the protruding portion of the front fender to the vehicle body (for example, Patent Document 1). [0004] The resin clip described in Patent Document 1 has a U-shaped cross section having an opening, and the fender can be held by inserting the fender inside the U-shaped cross section by generating a clamping force...
