Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: For receiving and stopping movement of a movable member approaching to a fixed member in order to absorb impacts, a cushion clip includes a clip body capable of being mounted by inserting into a mounting hole formed in one of the fixed member and the movable member, and a cushion body capable of absorbing impacts by resilient deformation. The clip body made of rigid resin material and the cushion body made of soft resin material are integrally joined to each other at a mutual joint portion by a two-material molding process. At the mutual joint portion, the clip body includes a base portion entering into inside of the cushion body, and a concave-convex configuration, such as ribs, is provided to the base portion for increasing a contact area with the cushion body.

Abstract: A clip may include an anchor portion having a plurality of flexible strips and at least one support strip. Each of the flexible strips is integrally connected to the at least one support strip only via a connecting portion corresponding to a distal end portion of the anchor portion and a connecting portion corresponding to a proximal end portion of the anchor portion. When the anchor portion is pushed into an insertion hole formed in a subject member, the anchor portion is inserted into the insertion hole while each of the flexible strips are flexed toward a longitudinal axis of the anchor portion. Each of the flexible strips is formed such that the difference between a second moment of area of the anchor distal end side connecting portion and a second moment of area of the anchor proximal end side connecting portion is 0-15%.

Abstract: A cushion clip includes a hollow cushioning portion, an engagement portion and a projection. The cushioning portion has a bottom wall portion and a side wall portion, and the side wall portion has cone-shaped outer and inner surfaces that are tapered from a proximal end toward a distal end thereof. The side wall portion has a top portion that is formed in the distal end thereof, and the top portion has an inner periphery radially inwardly protruding from the side wall portion and defining the central opening therein. The projection is cylindrically projected from the bottom wall portion toward the central opening of the cushioning portion, and has an upper end portion which diameter is larger than or equal to a diameter of the opening.

Abstract: A resin clip may include an anchor portion, a disk portion and an annular sealing surface formed in the disk portion. The anchor portion and the disk portion are integrally formed as a unit by single-material molding using a molding die. A portion of the anchor portion is shaped by a supplemental die part of the molding die. The sealing surface is formed by a single main die part of the molding die and has a circumferentially continuous shape.

Abstract: One aspect according to the present invention includes a base portion and a clamp portion. The base portion can be joined to a first member of a vehicle. The clamp portion is formed integrally with the base portion and can joined to a second member of the vehicle. The clamp portion includes a first jaw and a second jaw defining a receiving space therebetween. The receiving space can receive a part of the second member. A support portion is formed on one of the first and second jaws and is positioned within the receiving space. The support portion is resiliently deformable and can apply a pressing force against the part of the second member in a direction toward the other of the first and second jaws during and after insertion of the part of the second member into the receiving space.

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.

Abstract: A cushioning clip for receiving a movement of a movable member approaching a stationary member, including a cushioning part, for absorbing an impact force, and a mounting part for mounting the cushioning part to the stationary member. The cushioning part is formed of a flexible material exhibiting elasticity. The mounting part is formed of a rigid material exhibiting a predetermined rigidity. A hollow part is formed in the cushioning part. An inner wall of the hollow part is formed almost perpendicularly to the stationary member, and an apex part on a distal end side of the inner wall is flexed inwardly.

Abstract: A fastener used for mounting a mounting object having an insertion rib onto a support body having a mounting aperture. The fastener is previously fitted to the insertion rib of the mounting object and then inserted into the mounting aperture of the support body by pressing the insertion rib thereinto, thereby removably mounting the mounting object on the support body. The fastener includes a fastener body having a shoulder portion. The shoulder portion is adapted to elastically engage an inner edge of the mounting aperture of the support body when the fastener is inserted into the mounting aperture with the insertion rib. The fastener further includes a gripper portion provided on the fastener body and having at least one gripper surface and at least one engagement projection formed thereon. The gripper surface Is adapted to contact the insertion rib of the mounting object when the fastener is fitted to the insertion rib.
