  • Publication number: 20230208119
    Abstract: Provided is a body portion that includes an insertion hole portion having an insertion hole as a long hole, and a placement portion which is adjacent to one side in an orthogonal direction of the insertion hole at an upper end side in the height direction of the body portion, and on which a long member can be placed. When an external force acts on the placement portion in the height direction, a biting phenomenon in which a protrusion of a main inner wall face of the body portion is pressed onto a main outer wall face of a columnar portion of the molded member is caused in the body portion based on a moment in which a fulcrum is a lower end side, in the height direction, which is an opposite side to the placement portion side, to prevent the body portion from being disengaged from the columnar portion.

  • Patent number: 11060544
    Abstract: A fastener may include a plate-shaped connecting base, at least one pair of projecting portions respectively formed in the connecting base, and undercut portions formed in the at least one pair of projecting portions. The at least one pair of projecting portions oppositely project in a lateral direction of the connecting base. The at least one pair of projecting portions respectively have first surfaces sloped toward distal ends thereof. The undercut portions are defined by the first surfaces of the at least one pair of projecting portions.

  • Patent number: 10634180
    Abstract: A clip may include a base to which an attaching member is connected, and an anchor configured to be attached to a plate-shaped subject member and having a pillar, at least one pair of flexible engagement strips and at least one pair of blocks. The pillar is configured to be inserted into an attaching hole formed in the subject member. Each of the at least one pair of engagement strips is configured to engage a periphery of the attaching hole when the pillar is inserted into the attaching hole. Each of the at least one pair of blocks has a stopper surface that is configured to prevent each of the at least one pair of engagement strips from being folded back when an extraction load is applied to the anchor in a condition in which the anchor is attached to the subject member.

  • Patent number: 10406999
    Abstract: To provide a bracket assembling mechanism that assembles a bracket to a vehicle component while preventing the bracket from shaking. A bracket assembling mechanism assembles a bracket 101 to an assembling part 10 of a vehicle holding component 1. The assembling part 10 includes an accommodating part 11 that accommodates the bracket 101 and a retainer engaging part 12 that retains the accommodated bracket 101. The accommodating part 11 includes an elastic projecting part 9 that projects from a side wall surface that opposes the accommodated bracket 101 in a widthwise direction 101z of the bracket. When the bracket 101 is accommodated, the elastic projecting part 9 is elastically deformed in a manner that its distal end side is bent in a plate thickness direction 101y of the bracket 101.
