  • Patent number: 11965536
    Abstract: A clip for attaching an attaching article to an object member may include an engagement claw configured to engage an attaching hole formed in the object member. The clip may also include a slide body configured to retainably hold the engagement claw on the attaching article and configured to slide the engagement claw with respect to the attaching article so as to project and retract the engagement claw. The clip may also include an elastic body configured to apply a restoring force to the engagement claw when the engagement claw slides from a projected state to a retracted state with respect to the attaching article, so as to provide a biasing force to return the engagement claw toward the projected state.

  • Publication number: 20230242053
    Abstract: An object is to provide an electronic control component bracket that is less likely to cause a high acceleration (high-speed vibration). An electronic control component bracket 1 includes a bottom portion on which a plurality of elastic pieces configured to press a lower surface of an electronic control component upward are provided, and abutting stop portions configured to abut, from above, against the electronic control component that is pressed upward. The plurality of elastic pieces are provided such that, when vertical vibration is applied in a state in which the electronic control component is assembled, the amplitude of at least one elastic piece is larger than that of another elastic piece.

  • Patent number: 10099628
    Abstract: A clip may include an anchor portion configured to be inserted into an insertion hole formed in a subject member. The anchor portion has at least a pair of pillars separated via a slot that continuously extends between distal and proximal ends of the anchor portion, flexible strips respectively connected to the pillars and configured to engage a periphery of the insertion hole, and a cap portion positioned on the distal end of the anchor portion. The pillars are configured to be flexed about proximal ends thereof in a direction in which the pillars can intersect with each other. The cap portion is formed in a distal end of one of the pillars and is configured to cover a distal end of the slot.

  • Patent number: 9630573
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may include a clip mounting seat having a clip attachment surface, a peripheral wall and an opening. The peripheral wall extends from the clip attachment surface. The opening opens a part of an outer peripheral edge of the clip attachment surface. The clip attachment surface has an attachment hole, a guide groove and a tongue. The guide groove guides an insertion of a neck portion of the clip from the opening into the attachment hole. The tongue protrudes from an edge of the guide groove towards the attachment hole. The tongue is deflected to permit the neck portion to enter from the opening into the attachment hole. When the neck portion moves from the attachment hole toward the opening, the tongue is deflected by the neck portion in a closing direction.

  • Patent number: 8806722
    Abstract: A clip may include an anchor portion that is configured to be inserted into an insertion hole formed in a subject member. The anchor portion has at least a pair of pillars that are positioned across an axis of the anchor portion, and flexible strips that are respectively connected to the pillars so as to be projected outward therefrom. The pillars are configured to be flexed about proximal ends thereof in a direction in which the pillars can intersect with each other. The flexible strips are configured to engage a periphery of the insertion hole formed in the subject member when the anchor portion is inserted into the insertion hole, so as to hold the anchor portion on the subject member with a retention force. The pillars can be applied with a flexing force when an extraction force greater than the retention force of the anchor portion is applied to the anchor portion, so as to be flexed in the direction in which the pillars can intersect with each other.

  • Patent number: 8291547
    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.
