Benefits of technology

The present invention is related to a cushion clip that can absorb impact when a movable member moves towards a stationary member. The cushion clip has a hollow cushioning portion that can deform quickly to absorb impact during the initial compression period. The side wall portion of the cushioning portion can deform outwardly without being substantially deformed in the compression direction during the middle compression period, which allows for a gentle change in reaction force. The cushioning portion can constantly generate a desired reaction force over a very wide range of amount of compression. The effective stroke of the cushion clip is very long, and the cushion clip can be deformed without being substantially bent over. The side wall portion may have a reduced thickness towards the distal end.

Problems solved by technology

That is, an effective stroke of the cushion clip is very long.

Embodiment Construction

[0041]A detailed representative embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference FIGS. 1 to 7.

[0042]As shown in, for example, FIG. 3, a representative cushion clip 10 may preferably be positioned between a box main body 50 (a stationary member) of a glove box of a vehicle and a cover or door 54 (a movable member) of the glove box while the cushion clip 10 is secured to the box main body 50, so as to absorb an impact that can be produced when the door 54 is closed. The cushion clip 10 is composed of a cushioning portion 20 that is capable of absorbing the impact, and an engagement portion 40 that is capable of engaging an attachment hole 52 formed in the box main body 50. The cushioning portion 20 and the engagement portion 40 may preferably be integrated with each other.

[0043]As shown in FIG. 2, the cushioning portion 20 of the cushion clip 10 is formed as an integrally formed hollow member that is composed of a bottom wall portion 24 and a side wall portion 22. ...

Abstract

A cushion clip may include a hollow cushioning portion having a substantially circular central opening, and an engagement portion that is integrated with the cushioning portion. The cushioning portion has a bottom wall portion and a side wall portion. The side wall portion,has cone-shaped outer and inner surfaces that are linearly tapered from a proximal end thereof toward a distal end thereof. The side wall portion has a top portion that is formed in the distal end thereof. The top portion has a radially inwardly projected inner periphery that defines the central opening therein.

Description

[0001]This application claims priority to Japanese patent application serial number 2008-8607, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a cushion clip. More particularly, the present invention relates to a cushion clip that is attached an attachment hole formed in either of a stationary member and a movable member while the cushion clip is positioned therebetween, so as to absorb an impact that can be produced when the movable member moves toward the stationary member.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]This type of cushion clip is already known. Generally, in such a cushion clip, a cushioning portion that is capable of absorbing an impact is integrated with an engagement portion that is capable of engaging an attachment hole formed in a stationary member or a movable member. Further, in the cushion clip thus constructed, the cushioning portion is formed of a soft ...
