Problems solved by technology

However, they have two main limitations: on the one hand, they offer little structural flexibility since they necessitate the attachment axis to pass through the interior of the metal clip
On the other hand, they are designed so that the clip has three large bearing parts on the body, they are not sufficient to attach the accessory to the body panel of low thickness, because sometimes in the working position almost the entire couple of the accessory is supported on one support partly, and the thickness of the plate is thinner, so it does deform the body

Embodiment Construction

[0030] exist figure 1 In, an enlarged perspective view of a mounting device for mounting an accessory to the body or modular roof of a vehicle is shown, according to the device of the invention. This connection is achieved by a clip generally designated number 1, as shown in Figure 2, clip 1 has 6 arms, three of which are identical to each other, and are designated number 2, called tabs; The other three arms, marked number 3, are also identical to each other, but different from fin 2, and are called struts. These two arms project radially from the base 4 with openings 5 ​​and occupy symmetrical positions relative to each other, with fins 2 alternating with struts 3 bent towards the same side with respect to the plane of the base 4 .

[0031] Such as figure 1 As shown, the clip 1 is inserted into an opening 5' made in the body 6 or roof of the vehicle by using pressure. Preferably, a press-formed structure 7 is formed towards the interior of the cab in the area around the op...

Abstract

For attaching an accessory to the body of vehicle, a clip is fitted with elastically deformable arms which are inserted by pressure and are secured in a mounting opening in the bodywork sheet. Each clip has a central base and at least six arms. The arms have end formations which rest in opposing senses against the opposite surfaces of the bodywork sheet around the mounting opening. Half of the arms rest on the exterior surface of the sheet and the other half of the arms rest on the interior surface of the sheet.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for attaching an accessory to a vehicle body, and more particularly, the present invention relates to an attaching device using clips. [0002] The invention is particularly suitable for connecting accessories located inside a motor vehicle, on a modular roof of a motor vehicle. For example, the invention may be used to attach items such as awnings, hooks, hangers, handles, eyepiece holders, and the like. Background technique [0003] Devices are known in which an accessory can be attached to the body of the vehicle by means of a clip comprising elastically deformable arms which, upon application of pressure, can be inserted into openings made in the panels of the roof or body of the vehicle, in which the arms remain attached, Keep the aforementioned accessories in place. These clips may be metallic, for example, made of sheet steel. [0004] For this reason, the known clip forms two bearing parts on the bod...
