Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The rail member described in Patent Document 1 is made of a soft resin and has a long leg portion and a short leg portion, and is formed in a U-shaped cross section. The skin material is attached to the long leg portion by sewing, and the skin material is attached to the edge of the core material by fitting it to the edge of the core material. By the way, in the rail member described in Patent Document 1, since the skin material is attached to the long leg portion by sewing, the attachment work of attaching the skin material to the rail member requires time and effort. In addition, the attachment work of attaching a clip member such as a rail member to an adherend such as a skin material by sewing also requires time and effort.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a clip member that can reduce the attachment work of an adherend.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The clip member of the present invention is a clip member for attaching an adherend to an edge of a structure, and has a hook portion that is hung on the edge and a fixing portion that penetrates and fixes the adherend. The hook portion has a base piece portion, an end piece portion disposed on one side with respect to the base piece portion, and a connecting piece portion that connects the base piece portion and the end piece portion. The fixing portion is formed to be continuous with the base piece portion at its base end and to protrude to the other side with respect to the base piece portion. According to the clip member of the present invention, since the adherend is penetrated and fixed to the fixing portion protruding from the base piece portion as described above, it is possible to eliminate the need to attach the adherend to the clip member by sewing, and the attachment work of the adherend to the clip member can be reduced. In addition, compared with the case where the adherend is attached to the clip member by sewing, when the hook portion is hung on the edge of the structure, the position of the adherend fixed to the fixing portion is mechanically determined, and the adherend can be attached to the edge of the structure as desired. Furthermore, by hanging the hook portion formed with the end piece portion on the opposite side of the fixing portion on the edge of the structure, the adherend can be attached to the edge of the structure. Therefore, it is not necessary to form a protrusion or the like for attaching the adherend to the edge of the structure itself.

[0007] In the clip member of the present invention, the fixing portion may have a raised portion formed by raising the tip on the side opposite to the base end. According to such a configuration, when the hook portion is hung on the edge of the structure, even if the adherend such as a skin material fixed to the fixing portion is pulled and tries to come out of the fixing portion, since the raised portion is formed at the tip of the fixing portion, the raised portion acts as a retaining means against the adherend. Therefore, the fixing state of the adherend to the fixing portion can be made more stable.

[0008] In the clip member of the present invention, the fixing portion is formed to protrude from the base piece portion to the other side and extend along the base piece portion. A stepped portion capable of disposing the adherend is formed between the base end of the fixing portion and the free end of the base piece portion. A retaining claw portion may be formed at the tip of the fixing portion that extends along the base piece portion so as to face the free end of the base piece portion at an interval in the direction along the base piece portion. According to such a configuration, when the fixing portion penetrates the adherend, the adherend is in a state of being caught by the stepped portion. Even if this state is loosened, the retaining claw portion catches the adherend, preventing the adherend from coming out of the fixing portion. And in a state where the adherend is attached to the structure, with the adherend remaining caught by the stepped portion, the free end of the base piece portion and the retaining claw portion of the fixing portion are arranged along the structure, so the adherend is fixed to the fixing portion and this fixed state is maintained.

[0009] In the clip member of the present invention, the stepped portion may be constituted by a recess formed between the base end of the fixing portion and the free end of the base piece portion. According to such a configuration, compared with a case where, for example, simply a flat stepped portion is formed between the free end of the base piece portion and the base end of the fixing portion, the adherend is disposed in the recess, so displacement of the adherend can be suppressed.

[0010] In the clip member of the present invention, the recess may be shaped to narrow from its opening toward the bottom. According to such a configuration, when the adherend is attached to the structure and a tensile force is applied to the adherend, the adherend fits into the recess having a narrowing shape. For this reason, displacement of the adherend is less likely to occur, and the adherend is also less likely to fall off from the fixing portion.

[0011] In the clip member of the present invention, the fixing portion is formed to protrude from the base piece portion to the other side and extend along the base piece portion. A portion of the fixing portion on the tip side of the base end may face the base piece portion at an interval in a direction orthogonal to the direction along the base piece portion. According to such a configuration, when the fixing portion penetrates the adherend, the adherend is in a state of being hung on the proximal end of the fixing portion, and by being disposed between the fixing portion and the base piece portion, the state of the adherend being hung on the proximal end of the fixing portion can be maintained. When the adherend is attached to the structure and a tensile force is applied, the adherend is firmly fixed to the fixing portion, and this fixed state can be maintained.

[0012] In the clip member of the present invention, in the base piece portion, in a direction orthogonal to the direction along the base piece portion, a portion facing the fixing portion may be formed thinner than other portions of the base piece portion. According to such a configuration, the fixing portion can be disposed closer to the base piece portion side, the clip member can be downsized, and the possibility of interfering with other components can be reduced.

[0013] In the clip member of the present invention, the dimension of the base piece portion from the connection end to the free end with respect to the connection piece portion is larger than the dimension of the end piece portion from the connection end to the free end with respect to the connection piece portion, and the proximal end of the fixing portion may be disposed between the position of the free end of the base piece portion and the position of the free end of the end piece portion. According to such a configuration, when the hook portion is hung on the edge of the structure, even if the adherend such as the skin material fixed to the fixing portion is pulled, since the proximal end of the fixing portion is disposed between the position of the free end of the base piece portion and the position of the free end of the end piece portion, compared with the case where the proximal end of the fixing portion is disposed between the position of the free end of the end piece portion and the position of the connection end of the base piece portion, the hook portion can be in a state where it is difficult to come off from the edge of the structure. Thereby, the adherend can be suitably attached to the edge of the structure by the clip member.

[0014] The clip member of the present invention is a clip member for attaching an adherend to an edge of a structure, and has a hook portion that is hung on the edge and a fixing portion that penetrates and fixes the adherend. The hook portion has a base piece portion, an end piece portion disposed opposite to the base piece portion, and a connecting piece portion that connects the base piece portion and the end piece portion. The fixing portion has a base portion that is continuous with an end portion of the base piece portion on a side opposite to a connecting end side connected to the connecting piece portion and extends along the base piece portion, and a tip portion that is continuous with the base portion. The fixing portion has a pair of concave grooves formed with the end portion and the tip portion as a pair of side portions and the base portion as a bottom portion. According to the clip member of the present invention, since the adherend can be fitted into the pair of concave grooves by passing the fixing portion through the adherend, it is possible to eliminate the need to attach the adherend to the clip member by sewing, and the attachment work of the adherend to the clip member can be reduced. Further, compared with the case where the adherend is attached to the clip member by sewing, in the state where the hook portion is hung on the edge of the structure, the position of the adherend fixed to the fixing portion is mechanically determined, and the adherend can be attached to the edge of the structure as desired. Furthermore, by hanging the hook portion formed with the end piece portion on the side opposite to the fixing portion on the edge of the structure, the adherend can be attached to the edge of the structure. For this reason, it is possible to eliminate the need to form a protrusion or the like for attaching the adherend to the edge of the structure itself. In addition, since the fixing portion is formed to extend along the base piece portion, for example, on the other side opposite to the one side when the end piece portion side is one side with respect to the base piece portion, compared with the case of having a fixing portion protruding with respect to the base piece portion, the configuration can be simplified by eliminating the configuration protruding on the other side, and the possibility of the clip member interfering with other parts or the like can be reduced.

[0015] In the clip member of the present invention, the fixing portion having the pair of concave grooves may be formed in a wedge shape. According to such a configuration, the adherend can be more easily inserted through the fixing portion.

[0016] In the clip member of the present invention, it has at least two clip parts having the hook part and the fixing part, and a flexible connecting part connecting the two clip parts, and the connecting part may connect a part of the hook parts in the two clip parts to each other. According to such a configuration, by connecting the two clip parts by the connecting part, for example, compared with the attachment work of fixing an adherend to the fixing parts of two clip members that are separately independent from each other and hanging the hook part on the edge of the structure, the attachment work can be reduced. Further, by connecting a part of the hook parts in the two clip parts by the flexible connecting part, for example, even if the edge of the structure is curved, the clip member can be attached along this curved shape.

[0017] In the clip member of the present invention, the connecting part may connect the connecting piece parts to each other. According to such a configuration, for example, compared with the case of connecting the connecting ends of the base piece parts to the connecting piece parts or connecting the connecting ends of the end piece parts to the connecting piece parts by the connecting part, it can be configured to be excellent in flexibility of the connecting part and easy to push into the edge when hanging the hook part on the edge of the structure. Also, even when the adherend is pulled by hanging the hook part on the edge of the structure, since the connecting part connects the connecting piece parts to each other, it is possible to eliminate the risk that the adherend gets stuck between the connecting piece parts and the adherend moves closer, and the appearance of the adherend attached to the edge of the structure can be improved.

[0018] In the clip member of the present invention, the connecting part may connect the connecting ends of the base piece parts to the connecting piece parts, or may connect the connecting ends of the end piece parts to the connecting piece parts. According to such a configuration, the connecting portion can be given an appropriate hardness as compared with the case where the connecting pieces are connected by the connecting portion. For example, when the connecting portion connects the connecting ends of the base piece portions to the connecting piece portions, the end piece portions of the clip portion are easily bent so as to approach each other, while the base piece portions are difficult to bend so as to approach each other. Also, for example, when the connecting portion connects the connecting ends of the end piece portions to the connecting piece portions, the base piece portions of the clip portion are easily bent so as to approach each other, while the end piece portions are difficult to bend so as to approach each other. Therefore, a clip member corresponding to the curved shape of the edge of the structure can be configured. Further, even when the hook portion is hung on the edge of the structure and the adherend is pulled, since the connecting portion connects the connecting ends, it is possible to eliminate the risk that the adherend gets caught between the connecting ends and moves closer, and the appearance of the adherend attached to the edge of the structure can be improved.

[0019] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a clip member that can reduce the attachment work of the adherend.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0021] [First Embodiment] Hereinafter, the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The clip member 10 according to the first embodiment attaches the skin material 4 as an adherend to the edge portion 3A (see FIG. 2) of the lid body 3 of the console box 2 as a structure shown in FIG. 1. The console box 2 is installed in the passenger compartment of an automobile, and in FIG. 1, it is shown as being installed between the seats 5A and 5B. In the first embodiment, the edge portion 3A is constituted by the edge portion of the flange formed around the lid body 3. Although simplified in the drawing, the skin material 4 has a leather surface and a cushion material provided on the back side, and is configured to be compressible in its thickness direction. This skin material 4 covers the outer surface of the lid body 3 in a state of being attached to the edge portion 3A of the lid body 3. In the following description, the X direction is the left-right direction (width direction) in the mounting state of the clip member 10, the Y direction orthogonal to the X direction is the length direction in the mounting state of the clip member 10, and the Z direction orthogonal to the X and Y directions is the up-down direction in the mounting state of the clip member 10.

[0022] The clip member 10 is made of synthetic resin and has at least two, five in the first embodiment as shown in FIG. 2, clip portions 11 and a flexible connecting portion 12 that integrally connects the clip portions 11 in the Y direction.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 3, the clip portion 11 has a hook portion 20 that is hung on the edge portion 3A and a fixing portion 30 that penetrates and fixes the skin material 4.

[0024] The hook portion 20 has a base piece portion 21 along the Z direction, an end piece portion 22 along the Z direction disposed on the +X direction side (one side) with respect to the base piece portion 21, and a connecting piece portion 23 along the X direction connecting the base piece portion 21 and the end piece portion 22.

[0025] The connecting end 25 of the base piece portion 21 connected to the connecting piece portion 23 is the end portion on the +Z direction side of the base piece portion 21, and the free end 26 of the base piece portion 21 is the end portion (tip) on the -Z direction side of the base piece portion 21. Also, the connecting end 27 of the end piece portion 22 connected to the connecting piece portion 23 is the end portion on the +Z direction side of the end piece portion 22, and the free end 28 of the end piece portion 22 is the end portion (tip) on the -Z direction side of the end piece portion 22.

[0026] The inner surfaces of the base piece portion 21, the end piece portion 22, and the connecting piece portion 23 form a hook groove 29 where the edge portion 3A is disposed, and the base piece portion 21, the end piece portion 22, and the connecting piece portion 23 are each configured to be slightly bendable. For this reason, when the hook portion 20 is looped around the edge portion 3A as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 and the edge portion 3A is disposed in the hook groove 29 as shown in FIG. 3, the base piece portion 21, the end piece portion 22, and the connecting piece portion 23 are slightly bent and deformed, so that the hook portion 20 can be smoothly looped around the edge portion 3A.

[0027] Also, in the first embodiment, the end piece portion 22 is slightly inclined in the -X direction such that the free end 28 is slightly closer to the base piece portion 21 side than the connecting end 27. For this reason, in the state where the hook portion 20 is looped around the edge portion 3A as shown in FIG. 3, the free end 28 side of the end piece portion 22 is in pressure contact with the edge portion 3A, strengthening the looping state of the hook portion 20 with respect to the edge portion 3A.

[0028] In the first embodiment, the Z-direction dimension of the base piece portion 21 from the connecting end 25 to the free end 26 with respect to the connecting piece portion 23 is defined as dimension L1, the Z-direction dimension of the end piece portion 22 from the connecting end 27 to the free end 28 with respect to the connecting piece portion 23 is defined as dimension L2, and the Z-direction dimension from the position of the free end 28 of the end piece portion 22 to the free end 26 of the base piece portion 21 is defined as dimension L3. In this case, dimension L1 is larger than dimension L2, and the base end 31 (described later) of the fixing portion 30 is disposed in the region corresponding to dimension L3.

[0029] The fixing portion 30 is continuous with the base piece portion 21 at its base end 31 and is formed to protrude toward the -X direction side with respect to the base piece portion 21. Further, the fixing portion 30 has a raised portion 33 formed by raising the tip 32 on the opposite side (-X direction side) of the base end 31 on both the +Z direction and -Z direction sides. The protruding length of the fixing portion 30 in the X direction is appropriately set according to the thickness of the skin material 4 so that the skin material 4 fits between the base piece portion 21 and the raised portion 33.

[0030] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the connecting portion 12 connects the connecting piece portions 23 as a part of the hook portions 20 between the clip portions 11 adjacent to each other in the Y direction. The width dimension of the connecting portion 12 in the X direction is substantially equal to the dimension of the connecting piece portion 23 in the XY direction in the first embodiment, but it may be larger or smaller than this. The length dimension of the connecting portion 12 in the Y direction is larger than the length dimension of each clip portion 11 in the X direction in the first embodiment, but it may be smaller than this, or may be substantially equal to this.

[0031] [Mounting Procedure] Hereinafter, the mounting procedure for attaching the skin material 4 to the lid body 3 using the clip member 10 will be described. Note that on the outer surface side of the edge portion 3A of the lid body 3, a recessed portion 3B recessed toward the -X direction side is formed according to the location where the clip portion 11 is disposed. Further, a hole portion 4A through which the fixing portion 30 passes is formed at the edge of the skin material 4.

[0032] First, pass the fixing part 30 through the hole part 4A of the skin material 4, and place the edge part of the skin material 4 between the base piece part 21 and the raised part 33 to make it in a fixed state.

[0033] Next, as shown in FIG. 4, put the free end 28 of the end piece part 22 into the concave part 3B and make it abut against the edge part 3A. While maintaining the abutting state, as shown in FIG. 5, turn the clip part 11 into the inner surface side of the lid main body 3. As a result, the hook part 20 is in a state of being hung on the edge part 3A as shown in FIG. 3, the edge part 3A is arranged in the hook groove 29, the base piece part 21 and the end piece part 22 are arranged along the edge part 3A, and the connecting piece part 23 and the connecting part 12 are arranged along the edge of the edge part 3A. At this time, by pushing the connecting part 12 in the -Z direction side, the edge part 3A can be suitably inserted to the bottom of the hook groove 29.

[0034] In the state where the hook part 20 is hung on the edge part 3A as shown in FIG. 5, the skin material 4 is stretched in the -Z direction side by the fixing part 30. Here, the edge part of the skin material 4 tries to return to the +Z direction side and the part on the end piece part 22 side tries to return to the -Z direction side. However, since the base piece part 21 has the dimension L1 and the base end 31 of the fixing part 30 is arranged in the region corresponding to the dimension L3 described above, the hook part 20 is in a state where it is difficult to come off from the edge part 3A. A force to try to insert the edge part 3A deep into the groove depth of the hook groove 29 is generated in the stretched skin material 4, which makes the hanging state of the hook part 20 more suitable. Also, even when the skin material 4 is stretched, since the raised part 33 can be applied to the edge part of the skin material 4, the skin material 4 cannot come off from the fixing part 30. In addition, in the hanging state of the hook part 20 shown in FIG. 5, the free end 26 of the base piece part 21 and the edge part of the skin material 4 are arranged spaced apart in the X direction with respect to the top plate part surrounded by the flange of the lid main body 3. In this way, the skin material 4 is attached to the edge part 3A of the lid main body 3 using the clip member 10.

[0035] [Effects of the First Embodiment] According to the clip member 10 according to the first embodiment, since the fixing portion 30 protruding from the base piece portion 21 penetrates and fixes the skin material 4, it is possible to eliminate the need to attach the skin material 4 to the clip member 10 by sewing, and the attachment work of the skin material 4 to the clip member 10 can be reduced. Further, in a state where the hook portion 20 is hung on the edge portion 3A of the lid body 3, the position of the skin material 4 fixed to the fixing portion 30 is mechanically determined, and the skin material 4 can be attached to the edge portion 3A of the lid body 3 as desired. Furthermore, by hanging the hook portion 20 formed with the end piece portion 22 on the opposite side of the fixing portion 30 on the edge portion 3A of the lid body 3, the skin material 4 can be attached to the edge portion 3A of the lid body 3. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the need to form a protrusion or the like for attaching the skin material 4 to the edge portion 3A itself of the lid body 3. In addition, according to the clip member 10, the raised portion 33 can function as a retaining member for the skin material 4, and since the proximal end 31 of the fixing portion 30 is disposed between the position of the free end 26 of the base piece portion 21 and the position of the free end 28 of the end piece portion 22, the hook portion 20 can be made difficult to come off from the edge portion 3A of the lid body 3. By connecting two clip portions by the connecting portion, the attachment work of the clip member 10 can be reduced. By connecting the connecting piece portions 23 of the clip portion 11 with the flexible connecting portion 12, the clip member 10 can be attached corresponding to the curved shape of the edge portion 3A of the lid body 3. And, it can be configured to have excellent flexibility of the connecting portion 12 and be easy to push the hook portion 20 into the edge portion 3A. Also, it is possible to prevent the skin material 4 from getting stuck between the connecting piece portions 23 and being displaced, and the appearance of the skin material 4 attached to the edge portion 3A of the lid body 3 can be improved.

[0036] [Second Embodiment] Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 6 and 7, the clip member 10B according to the second embodiment attaches the skin material 4 described above as an adherend to the edge 3A of the lid body 3 of the console box 2 described above as a structure shown in FIG. 1. The clip member 10B is made of synthetic resin and has a plurality of clip portions 11B arranged at intervals in the Y direction and a flexible connecting portion 12B that integrally connects the clip portions 11B in the Y direction. The clip portion 11B has a fixing portion 40 that is different from the hook portion 20 in the first embodiment and the fixing portion 30 in the first embodiment. The connecting portion 12B is substantially the same as the connecting portion 12 in the first embodiment, but connects the connecting end 25 of the base piece portion 21 of the clip portion 11B and the portions on the base piece portion 21 side of the connecting piece portion 23 between the plurality of clip portions 11B. Note that the X, Y, and Z directions are the same as those in the first embodiment. Also, for the same configurations as those in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are appropriately given in the drawings, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

[0037] The fixing portion 40 is configured to penetrate and fix the skin material 4, and extends from the base piece portion 21 toward the -Z direction side and is formed in a wedge shape. Here, the free end 26 of the base piece portion 21 in the first embodiment is configured as an end portion where the fixing portion 40 is integrally continuous in the second embodiment. Also, the base piece portion 21 in the second embodiment is formed to have a smaller dimension in the Z direction than that in the first embodiment, and the dimension obtained by combining the Z direction dimension of the fixing portion 40 with the Z direction dimension of the base piece portion 21 is the dimension L1 described above.

[0038] The fixing portion 40 has a plate-shaped base portion 41 that extends from the central portion in the Y direction of the end portion 26 of the base piece portion 21 toward the -Z direction and a plate-shaped tip portion 42 that is continuous with the base portion 41. Substrate portion 21 A pair of concave grooves 43 that face each other in the Y direction are formed by the end portion 26, the base portion 41, and the tip portion 42. The concave grooves 43 are formed with the end portion 26 of the base piece portion 21 and the tip portion 42 of the fixing portion 40 as a pair of side portions and the base portion 41 of the fixing portion 40 as the bottom.

[0039] The tip portion 42 has inclined surfaces 423 that are inclined from the central portion 421 in the Y direction to the end portions 422 on both sides in the Y direction. The inclined surfaces 423 are inclined with respect to the Z direction so as to face the +Z direction side as they go from the central portion 421 to both sides in the Y direction. By being inclined in this way, the insertability of the fixing portion 40 into the hole portion 4A of the skin material 4 is improved. The dimension of the tip portion 42 in the Y direction (the width dimension of the tip portion 42 itself) is made larger than the dimension of the base portion 41 in the Y direction (the width dimension of the base portion 41 itself). Also, the dimension of the tip portion 42 in the Y direction is the same as the dimension of the base piece portion 21 in the Y direction (the width dimension of the base piece portion 21 itself), but it is not limited to this. For example, the dimension of the tip portion 42 in the Y direction may be made smaller than the dimension of the base piece portion 21 in the Y direction to further improve the insertability. Also, for example, within the range where the fixing portion 40 can be inserted into the hole portion 4A of the skin material 4, the dimension of the tip portion 42 in the Y direction may be made larger than the dimension of the base piece portion 21 in the Y direction to further suppress the skin material 4 from falling off to the -Z direction side.

[0040] In addition, in the second embodiment, a recess 3C shown in FIG. 7 in which an end portion of the skin material 4 in a state where the hole portion 4A is passed through the fixing portion 40 and fixed may be formed at the edge portion 3A of the lid body 3.

[0041] [Effects of the Second Embodiment] In the second embodiment, since the skin material 4 can be fitted into the pair of concave grooves 43 by passing the fixing portion 40 through the skin material 4, it is possible to eliminate the need to attach the skin material 4 to the clip member 10B by sewing, and the attachment work of the skin material 4 to the clip member 10B can be reduced. Also, compared with the case where the skin material 4 is attached to the clip member 10B by sewing, when the hook portion 20 is hung on the edge portion 3A of the lid body 3, the position of the skin material 4 fixed to the fixing portion 40 is mechanically determined, and the skin material 4 can be attached to the edge portion 3A as desired. Furthermore, by hanging the hook portion 20 formed with the end piece portion 22 on the side opposite to the fixing portion 40 on the edge portion 3A, the skin material 4 can be attached to the edge portion 3A. For this reason, it is possible to eliminate the need to form a protrusion or the like for attaching the skin material 4 on the edge portion 3A itself. In addition, since the fixing portion 40 is formed to extend along the base piece portion 21, for example, compared with a case where the fixing portion 30 described above that protrudes with respect to the base piece portion 21 is provided on the -X direction side with respect to the base piece portion 21, by eliminating the configuration that protrudes on the -X direction side, it is possible to simplify the configuration and reduce the risk of the clip member 10B interfering with other components or the like. In the second embodiment, the fixing portion 40 having a pair of concave grooves 43 may be formed in an arrowhead shape. In the second embodiment, since the fixing portion 40 is formed in an arrowhead shape, the fixing portion 40 can be more easily inserted through the skin material 4.

[0042] [Third Embodiment] Hereinafter, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 8 and 9, the clip member 10C according to the third embodiment is for attaching the skin material 4 described above to the edge portion 3A of the lid body 3 of the console box 2 described above. The clip member 10C is made of synthetic resin and has clip portions 11C arranged in a plurality at intervals in the Y direction and a flexible connecting portion 12C that integrally connects the clip portions 11C in the Y direction. The clip portion 11C has a fixing portion 50 that is different from the hook portion 20 in the first embodiment and the fixing portion 30 in the first embodiment. The connecting portion 12C is configured in the same manner as the connecting portion 12B in the second embodiment. Note that the X, Y, and Z directions are the same as those in the first embodiment. Also, for the same configurations as in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are appropriately given to each configuration in the drawings, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

[0043] The fixing portion 50 is configured to penetrate and fix the skin material 4. The fixing portion 50 is formed to protrude in the -X direction side and extend in the -Z direction side from the portion on the free end 26 side of the base piece portion 21, and a retaining claw portion 53 is formed at the tip 52. Here, the base piece portion 21 of the third embodiment is formed with a smaller Z-direction dimension than that of the first embodiment, and the dimension obtained by matching the Z-direction dimension of the fixing portion 50 with the Z-direction dimension of the base piece portion 21 is the dimension L1 described above. This fixing portion 50 is continuous with the base piece portion 21 at the base end 51. The retaining claw portion 53 is arranged to face the free end 26 of the base piece portion 21 at an interval in the Z direction. A stepped portion is formed between the free end 26 and the base end 51. This stepped portion is composed of a concave portion 54 having a shape that narrows from the opening toward the bottom. Therefore, when the skin material 4 is attached to the edge portion 3A of the lid body 3, as shown in FIG. 9, the skin material 4 fits into the concave portion 54, and the end portion of the skin material 4 is less likely to be displaced or fall off. The retaining claw portion 53 prevents the skin material 4 in a state where the hole portion 4A is passed through the fixing portion 50 from coming out of the fixing portion 50 before being attached to the edge portion 3A. Note that the concave portion 54 only needs to be configured such that the end portion of the skin material 4 can be arranged, and therefore, it does not have to have the narrowing shape described above.

[0044] [Effects of the Third Embodiment] In the third embodiment, in addition to being able to exhibit the above-described effects in the first embodiment, when the fixing portion 50 penetrates the hole portion 4A of the skin material 4, the skin material 4 is in a state of being caught by the concave portion 54 as a stepped portion, and even if this state becomes loose, the retaining claw portion 53 catches the skin material 4, thereby preventing the skin material 4 from coming out of the fixing portion 50. And in a state where the skin material 4 is attached to the edge portion 3A of the lid body 3, with the skin material 4 remaining in a state of being caught by the concave portion 54, the free end 26 of the base piece portion 21 and the retaining claw portion 53 of the fixing portion 50 are arranged along the edge portion 3A, so that the skin material 4 is fixed to the fixing portion 50 and this fixed state is maintained. In the third embodiment, compared with a case where, for example, a simply flat stepped portion is formed between the free end 26 of the base piece portion 21 and the base end 51 of the fixing portion 50, the skin material 4 is arranged in the concave portion 54, so that displacement of the skin material 4 can be suppressed. In the third embodiment, when the skin material 4 is attached to the edge portion 3A and a tensile force is applied to the skin material 4, the skin material 4 fits into the recessed portion 54 having a shape that narrows. For this reason, it becomes more difficult for the skin material 4 to be displaced, and it also becomes difficult for the skin material 4 to fall off from the fixing portion 50.

[0045] [Fourth Embodiment] Hereinafter, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 10 and 11, the clip member 10D according to the fourth embodiment attaches the above-described skin material 4 to the edge portion 3A of the lid body 3 of the console box 2 described above. The clip member 10D is made of synthetic resin and has a plurality of clip portions 11D arranged at intervals in the Y direction and a flexible connecting portion 12D that integrally connects the clip portions 11D in the Y direction. The clip portion 11D has a fixing portion 60 that is different from the hook portion 20 in the first embodiment and the fixing portion 30 in the first embodiment. The connecting portion 12D is configured in the same manner as the connecting portion 12B in the second embodiment. Note that the X, Y, and Z directions are the same as those in the first embodiment. Also, for the same configurations as those in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are appropriately given in the drawings, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

[0046] The fixing portion 60 is configured to penetrate and fix the skin material 4. The fixing portion 60 is continuous with the base piece portion 21 at its base end 61, and is formed to project toward the -X direction side and extend toward the -Z direction side with respect to the base piece portion 21. The portion on the tip 62 side rather than the base end 61 faces the base piece portion 21 with a space therebetween in the direction (X direction) orthogonal to the direction (Z direction) along the base piece portion 21. In the fourth embodiment, the portion of the base piece portion 21 that faces the fixing portion 60 in the X direction is formed thinner than the other portions of the base piece portion 21. When the fixing portion 60 penetrates the hole portion 4A of the skin material 4, the end portion of the skin material 4 is caught by the base end 61, and the end portion is sandwiched between the base piece portion 21 and the portion on the tip 62 side rather than the base end 61 of the fixing portion 60.

[0047] [Effect of the Fourth Embodiment] In the fourth embodiment, when the fixing portion 60 penetrates the hole portion 4A of the skin material 4, the skin material 4 is in a state of being hung on the proximal end 61 of the fixing portion 60 and is disposed between the fixing portion 60 and the base piece portion 21, so that the state of the skin material 4 being hung on the proximal end 61 of the fixing portion 60 can be maintained. When the skin material 4 is attached to the edge portion 3A of the lid body 3 and a tensile force is applied, the skin material 4 is firmly fixed to the fixing portion 60 and this fixed state can be maintained. In the fourth embodiment, the fixing portion 60 can be arranged closer to the base piece portion 21 side, the size of the clip member 10D can be reduced, and the possibility of interfering with other components can be reduced.

[0048] [Modification Example] In the first embodiment, the connecting portion 12 connects the connecting piece portions 23 to each other. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as in the modification example shown in FIG. 12A, the connecting portion 12 may connect the connecting ends 27 of the end piece portions 22 to each other. In this case, compared with the case of the present embodiment in which the connecting piece portions 23 are connected by the connecting portion 12, the connecting portion 12 can have an appropriate hardness, and the base piece portion 21 side of the clip portion 11 is easily bent so as to approach each other, while the end piece portion 22 side is difficult to bend so as to approach each other. Further, the possibility that the skin material 4 gets stuck between the connecting ends 27 and comes closer can be eliminated, and the appearance of the skin material 4 attached to the edge portion 3A of the lid body 3 can be improved. Further, this configuration may be applied to the connecting portions 12B, 12C, and 12D in the second, third, and fourth embodiments.

[0049] In the first embodiment, the connecting portion 12 connects the connecting piece portions 23 to each other. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as in the modification example shown in FIG. 12B, the connecting portion 12 may connect the connecting ends 25 of the base piece portions 21 to each other. In this case, compared with the case of the present embodiment in which the connecting piece portions 23 are connected by the connecting portion 12, the connecting portion 12 can have an appropriate hardness, and the end piece portion 22 side of the clip portion 11 is easily bent so as to approach each other, while the base piece portion 21 side is difficult to bend so as to approach each other. Further, the possibility that the skin material 4 gets stuck between the connecting ends 25 and comes closer can be eliminated, and the appearance of the skin material 4 attached to the edge portion 3A of the lid body 3 can be improved. Moreover, this configuration may be applied to the connection parts 12B, 12C, and 12D in the second, third, and fourth embodiments.

[0050] In the first embodiment, the fixing part 30 has a raised part 33 formed by raising the tip 32 thereof. However, if the skin material 4 cannot fall off even without the raised part 33, the configuration of the raised part 33 may be omitted.

[0051] In the first to fourth embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the dimension L1 is larger than the dimension L2. However, if the hanging state with respect to the edge part 3A of the hook part 20 can be maintained, the dimension L1 may be a dimension equal to or less than the dimension L2. In this case, the dimension L3 disappears, and the fixing parts 30, 40, 50, and 60 are continuous with the base piece part 21 in the region corresponding to the dimension L1.

[0052] In the first to fourth embodiments, the fixing parts 30, 40, 50, and 60 are continuous with the base piece part 21 in the region corresponding to the dimension L3. However, even if the dimension L1 remains larger than the dimension L2, the fixing parts 30, 40, 50, and 60 may be continuous with the base piece part 21 in the region corresponding to the dimension L2.

[0053] In the first to fourth embodiments, the clip members 10, 10B, 10C, and 10D are configured by connecting a plurality of clip parts 11 with the connection parts 12, 12B, 12C, and 12D. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a single clip part 11 without the connection parts 12, 12B, 12C, and 12D may be configured as a clip member.

[0054] In the first to fourth embodiments, the lid body 3 of the console box 2 has been described as a structure. However, in addition, an instrument panel or the like in the passenger compartment of an automobile may be used as a structure, and the clip members 10, 10B, 10C, and 10D may be attached to the edge of this structure.
