[0082] First, refer to Figure 1 to Figure 17 The fixing clip 10 according to the first embodiment and the fixing structure 1 for fixing the member 94 to be installed using the fixing clip 10 and their effects and technical advantages are explained together.

[0083] As in figure 1 with figure 2 As shown in the middle figure, the fixing clip 10 is used to fix the member 94 to be installed to the body panel 90 of the vehicle. The member 94 to be installed is, for example, a curtain airbag that can be called CSA (Curtain Shield Airbag). The member to be mounted 94 extends along the longitudinal direction of the rectangular clip fixing hole 92. The CSA expands and unfolds during a side collision or rollover of the vehicle, thereby protecting the head of the driver or passenger. When the member to be installed 94 is expanded and deployed, the pull-out load F is applied to the fixing clip 10 from the protrusion 94 a of the member to be installed 94. The body panel 90 is a panel of...

[0146] The structure and technical effects of the first embodiment that can be commonly applied to the second embodiment also apply to the second embodiment.

[0147] In addition to the above structural and technical advantages, the fixing clip 10 and the fixing structure 1 for fixing the component to be installed according to the second embodiment further include the following structural and technical advantages:

[0148] As in Figure 18 with Figure 19 As shown in the middle figure, in the second embodiment, the lock pin 50 includes a load receiving surface 52B as a load receiving portion 52. The load receiving surface 52B is formed at the outer surface of the lock pin 50 located along the front-rear direction Cfr of the fixing clip 10. The load receiving surface 52B includes a surface that is inclined in a direction toward the end of the leg 30 and away from the central axis 12 of the fixing clip in a state where the lock pin 50 has been inserted into the bushing 20.

[0157] The structure and technical effects of the first embodiment that are commonly applicable to the third embodiment also apply to the third embodiment.

[0158] In addition to the above structural and technical advantages, the fixing clip 10 and the fixing structure 1 for fixing the component to be installed according to the third embodiment further include the following structural and technical advantages:

[0159] As in Picture 20 As shown in the middle figure, in the third embodiment, the lock pin 50 includes a load receiving surface 52C as a load receiving portion 52. The load receiving surface 52C is formed at the outer surface of the lock pin 50 positioned in the front-rear direction Cfr of the fixing clip. The load receiving surface 52C includes a surface that is inclined in a direction toward the end of the leg 30 and away from the central axis 12 of the fixing clip in a state where the lock pin 50 has been inserted into the bushing 20.

Abstract

A fixing clip fixes a member to a body panel and includes a bushing and a lock pin. The bushing includes a head and a leg. The lock pin includes a load receiving portion including a load receiving surface which receives a part of a reaction force of a drawing-out load loaded on the fixing clip from a body panel, when the drawing-out load acts on the fixing clip from the member. The bushing includes a pressure receiving surface for receiving the part of the reaction force of the drawing-out load which the lock pin has received. The drawing-out load thus can be received by both the hushing and the lock pin. As a result, an endurability of the fixing clip against the drawing-out load is improved by an amount of the load which the lock pin shares, so that the drawing-out load can be increased.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fixing clip and a fixing structure (or device) for fixing a component to be installed using the fixing clip. The member to be installed is, for example, a curtain airbag. Background technique [0002] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2014-020409 discloses a conventional fixing clip. The traditional fixing clip includes a bush and a lock pin. After the leg of the bushing is inserted into the clip fixing hole of the body panel, the lock pin is inserted into the space between the pair of engaging hooks formed at the opposite part of the leg of the bushing, thereby preventing the engaging hook from facing toward the fixing The center axis of the clamp is deformed. According to the structure, when an excessive load is loaded on the fixing clip from the curtain airbag when the curtain airbag (ie, the member to be installed) is deployed and inflated, the fixing clip is prevented from being pulled out from the body panel. [0003] Howeve...
