A clip includes a pair of holding members arranged oppositely to one another to be capable of holding an elastic body therebetween, a base member, to which end portions of one side of the pair of holding members are coupled and at least one of the holding members is pivotably coupled, set on an object to be fixed, and pressing members provided on the holding members for pressing/retaining the elastic member between the pair of holding members.

Clip and elastic body attachment component

A foam filling member that can hold a foam sheet in a looped shape stably, without increasing the number of components, to provide improved vibration suppression and sound insulation. The strip-like foam sheet is formed in a looped shape by bending round it, so that both end portions of the foam sheet are overlapped with each other in a thickness direction thereof to form an overlapped portion therein. Then, insertion shafts of a clip are inserted through the overlapped portion, so that the overlapped portion is held in sandwich relation between a base portion and a head portion to form a foam filling member. Then, a supporting portion of the fixing portion of the clip is inserted in a fixing hole of an inner panel and fixed to the inner panel. After the inner panel and an outer panel are welded, the foam filling member is foamed, cross-linked, and cured by heating in a drying line process at the baking finish, to thereby produce the foam, whereby the interior space of the pillar is filled up with the foam, leaving no space therein.

Foam filling member

A foam filling member having a foaming base material in sheet form which is simplified in structure so that it can be formed into a predetermined shape corresponding to a shape of a space of a structure with an improved working efficiency and can also be placed in a space of the structure with an improved working efficiency, without any need of the sticking to a wall surface of a partition wall defining the space of the structure. Incisions, cut in partway along a thickness direction of the foaming base materialalong a bending portion and cutspassing through in the thickness direction are formed in the foaming base materialBy simply bending or folding the foaming base materialalong the incisionsand the cuts, the foam filling membercan be formed in a three-dimensional shape corresponding to an interior space of a pillar and thus can be set in place in the interior space. By foaming the foaming base materialthus placed in the interior space, the foam can be filled up in the interior space, leaving no space therein.

A foam filling member having simplified structure is provided that may be produced with improved working efficiency and at low cost. Additionally, the invention enables a reduction in a quantity of foaming material of the foaming base used for filling an interior space of a structure. The foam filling member has an annular wall formed on a supporting plate and an annular foaming portion of the foaming base supported on an outer supporting portion located at the outside of the annular wall on the supporting plate. A plurality of openings are formed in the annular wall and also lugs are formed that project into an inner closed portion at the inside of the annular wall through the respective openings.
