Abstract: The vehicle attachment component 1 is attached to an instrument panel reinforcement 100 so as to sandwich its thickness part between a detachment preventing engagement portion 21 engaged with the instrument panel reinforcement 100 from the deep side in the insertion direction and elastic pressing portions 20 protruding from the near side in the insertion direction of the detachment preventing engagement portion toward both sides in a direction 100Y perpendicular to the instrument panel reinforcement 100. The elastic pressing portions 20 have thin distal end portions 20A which always elastically press the instrument panel reinforcement 100, and thick base end portions 20B which withstand a load from the instrument panel reinforcement 100.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A cable tie may include a belt and a buckle to which a proximal end of the belt is connected. When the belt wrapped around a clamped article is inserted into an insertion hole of the buckle through an inlet end and is then tightened, the belt can be locked to the buckle while the belt is fastened around the clamped article. After the belt is locked to the buckle, an excess portion of the belt drawn from an outlet end of the insertion hole of the buckle is cut off while leaving a remaining portion. The buckle has a protecting portion that is configured to cover both sides of the remaining portion of the belt. The protecting portion is configured to cover all of four corners of a cut surface of the remaining portion of the belt.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

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.
