An engaging member includes an engaging portion configured to be inserted and assembled into a fixing hole of a vehicle body, an attachment portion configured to attach elongated wire routing materials, and linking portions configured to connect the engaging portion and the attachment portion to each other. The linking portions are extendable and contractable in a longitudinal direction of the wire routing materials, and can oscillate the engaging portion side in an orthogonal direction, thereby allowing the engaging portion to be movable in the longitudinal direction and the orthogonal direction. A protrusion and a through portion are provided as a movement restricting portion for restricting the movement of the engaging portion to movement within a predetermined range.

Engaging member

The vehicle attachment componentis attached to an instrument panel reinforcementso as to sandwich its thickness part between a detachment preventing engagement portionengaged with the instrument panel reinforcementfrom the deep side in the insertion direction and elastic pressing portionsprotruding from the near side in the insertion direction of the detachment preventing engagement portion toward both sides in a directionY perpendicular to the instrument panel reinforcement. The elastic pressing portionshave thin distal end portionsA which always elastically press the instrument panel reinforcement, and thick base end portionsB which withstand a load from the instrument panel reinforcement

Vehicle attachment component

A cushion clip may include an engagement leg that is capable of being attached to either one of a fixed member or a movable member moving toward and away from the fixed member; and a cushion that is capable of being elastically deformed by a load applied from the movable member moving toward the fixed member, thereby absorbing impact caused by movement of the movable member. The cushion has a hollow barrel shape such that an intermediate portion positioned between a bottom portion connected to the engagement leg and a top portion positioned opposite to the bottom portion is circumferentially expanded to a maximum circumference.

Cushion clip

Clip

An attaching structure using a clip for attaching an article of a vehicle to a panel secured to a vehicle body in a condition in which an article body of the article is inserted into an opening formed in the panel, may include an engagement portion formed in the article body, and a retainer portion formed in the clip and capable of being connected to the article body via the engagement portion. The engagement portion and the retainer portion are arranged and constructed such that the retainer portion can overlap a periphery of the engagement portion when the retainer portion is connected to the article body via the engagement portion.

Attaching structure using clips

Provided is a clip able to lock axial movement and circumferential movement thereof by employing a simple configuration. A hub of the clip can be inserted into an insertion hole formed in an undercover. In each elastic flap, a basal part is supported in a cantilever manner, and a free end part elastically deforms around the basal part which forms a fulcrum so as to approach or separate from an outer periphery. Each elastic flap spreads out from the basal part toward the free end part so as to increase in width in a circumferential direction. The clip is attached to the undercover such that axial movement and circumferential movement of the clip are locked.

A clip may include a main body and a pin member. In the clip, an engagement condition of the anchor to an attaching hole formed in a plate member can be maintained by inserting an elastic shank portion of the pin member into the anchor of the main body. The elastic shank portion inserted into the anchor is received by a stopper of the anchor, so that the pin member can be locked in a temporary insertion position. An interfering portion of the elastic shank portion is exposed to an exterior portion the anchor. When the anchor is inserted into the attaching hole, the interfering portion of the elastic shank portion interferes with a periphery of the attaching hole, so that a condition in which the pin member is locked in the temporary insertion position can be released.

Each clipis fitted into a cutaway groove portionof a pedestal portionof each assembling portionprovided on a bottom surface portion of a console box. After that, a positioning bossis fitted into a long holeformed in an attachment receiving member, and at the same time, a fitting head portionof each clipis fitted into each long holeformed in the attachment receiving member. As each fitting head portionis fitted into each long holeformed in the attachment receiving memberand a boss portionslides in the cutaway groove portion. Each of a pair of elastic locking piecesis elastically locked with the periphery of each longer side portion of each long hole

A long hole of a seat plate member is fittingly inserted to a fitting head portion provided on an upper surface of a flat plate portion of a clip in an upright posture, so as to attach the clip to the cutaway groove portion with the seat plate member in contact with a flat plate portion, and the fitting head portion is fitted to a long hole formed in an attachment receiving member. As the fitting head portion is fitted to the long hole, the boss portion moves within the cutaway groove portion to bring the seat plate member into contact with the attachment receiving member and to elastically lock a pair of elastic locking pieces with the periphery of each longer side portion of the long hole.

A fastener for attaching an attached article to an attaching object is taught that preferably include a holding member that is arranged and constructed to hold the attached article, and an engagement leg that is arranged and constructed to engage an engagement hole formed in the attaching object. The engagement leg is connected to the holding member via a breakable connecting device. The connecting device is arranged and constructed to be easily broken when a substantial force is applied thereto.

Fastener easily detached from attached objects

When an operation wall of an inner member is inserted into an insertion portion of an outer member and an engagement piece does not receive a cam operation due to a slanted cam portion, contact pieces of the outer member do not correspond to a positioning hole of the inner member and are located in a position so as not to be inserted into the positioning hole. When the outer member is inserted into an attachment hole of an attachment receiving member with maintaining a state where the engagement piece does not receive the cam operation due to the slanted cam portion, the contact pieces are elastically deformed inwardly and located in a position so as to be inserted into the positioning hole.

A cable tie including a belt member and a buckle member connected to one end of the belt member. The buckle member has a grooved supporting portion integrally formed thereon and having a pair of upper surfaces. The buckle member is also formed with a pair of receiving surfaces which cross to the upper surfaces of the supporting portion at an obtuse angle, respectively. The supporting portion is formed with an engagement leg at a lower surface thereof.
