[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 will be described together.

[0083] as in figure 1 and figure 2 Shown in the middle figure, the fixing clip 10 is used to fix the component to be mounted 94 to the body panel 90 of the vehicle. The member 94 to be attached is, for example, a curtain airbag called a CSA (Curtain Shield Airbag). The member to be mounted 94 extends along the longitudinal direction of the rectangular clip fixing hole 92 . The CSA inflates and deploys during a side impact or rollover of the vehicle, thereby protecting the driver's or passenger's head. When the member-to-be-installed 94 expands and unfolds, a pull-out load F is applied to the fixing clip 10 from the protrusion 94 a of the member-to-be-installed 94 . Body panel 90 is a panel of a vehicle, which m...

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

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

[0148] as in Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown in the middle figure, in the second embodiment, the lock pin 50 includes a load receiving surface 52B as the load receiving portion 52 . The load receiving surface 52B is formed at an outer side 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 tip of the leg 30 and away from the center axis 12 of the fixing clip in the state where the lock pin 50 has be...

[0157] The structures and technical effects of the first embodiment described above that can be commonly applied to the third embodiment also apply to the third embodiment.

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

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

Abstract

The invention provides a fixing clip. The fixing clip is used to fix the component to be installed to the body panel and includes a bushing and a locking pin. The bushing consists of a head and legs. The lock pin includes a load receiving portion including a load receiving surface that reacts to a pullout load loaded on the clip from the body panel when a pullout load acts on the clip from the member to be mounted part of the force. The bushing includes a pressure receiving surface for receiving said part of the reaction force of the pull-out load that the locking pin has received. According to this clip, the pull-out load can be borne by both the bush and the lock pin. As a result, the resistance of the retaining clip against the pull-out load can be increased by the amount of load shared by the lock pin, and thus the pull-out load borne by the retainer clip can be increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fixing clip and a fixing structure (or device) for using the fixing clip to fix a component to be installed. The component to be mounted is, for example, a curtain airbag. Background technique [0002] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2014-020409 discloses a conventional fixing clip. The conventional retaining clip includes a bushing and a locking pin. After the legs of the bushing are inserted through the clip fixing holes of the body panels, the lock pins are inserted into the spaces between the paired engaging hooks formed at the opposite parts of the legs of the bushing, thus preventing the engaging hooks from moving toward the fixing. The central axis of the clamp is deformed. According to the structure, when an excessive load is loaded on the fixing clip from the curtain air bag when the curtain air bag (ie, the member to be mounted) is deployed and inflated, the fixing clip is prevented from being pulled out ...
