Vehicle module clip
In the present invention, two hooks have a predetermined distance therebetween, portions, from which elastic arms extend, of the flanges formed on end portions of the hooks have curvatures each having a predetermined radius to provide a sufficient space in which the two hooks are deformed to face each other when the module clip is assembled or disassembled, an angle between the elastic arms, which are formed in pairs and perform a hooking operation while passing through and fitted into the coupling hole and then restored to an original state, is decreased, and soft grooves are formed in the flanges to allow the elastic arms to be easily deformed so that the elastic arms are easily coupled to the coupling hole using a small force when the elastic arms pass through the coupling hole to perform the hooking operation and, when the module clip is disassembled from the coupling hole in a state in which the hooking operation is performed, lengths of the elastic arms decrease, so that a greater force is required for allowing the elastic arms to be forcibly deformed and disassembled from the coupling hole, so as not to easily separate the elastic arms from the coupling hole.
1 . A vehicle module clip that is fastened to a first member using a screw and passes through, is fitted into, and is assembled with a coupling hole ( 11 ) formed in a second member ( 10 ), the vehicle module clip comprising:
a base ( 110 ) fastened to the first member using the screw; and
a pair of hooks ( 120 ) that are bent from both edges of the base ( 110 ) and fitted into and assembled with the coupling hole ( 11 ),
wherein the base ( 110 ) includes guides ( 112 ) positioned between the pair of hooks ( 120 ) and cut to protrude to face each other,
the guides ( 112 ) are formed so that a distance between the guides ( 112 ) facing each other decreases as a distance from the base ( 110 ) to the two-guides ( 112 ) increases, and
the hooks ( 120 ) include a pair of support arms ( 121 ) that are obliquely bent from both sides of the base ( 110 ) in directions to face each other by a predetermined width, a pair of flanges ( 122 ) that are bent from protruding ends of the pair of support arms ( 121 ) to each have a radius (R) of 1.5 mm to 1.9 mm, and positioned to face each other with a distance (G) of 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm therebetween, a pair of elastic arms ( 123 ), each arm being integrally formed with a respective side of respective flanges ( 122 ) and extending obliquely in directions away from each other and in which a width (W) and an angle (θ) between the pair of elastic arms ( 123 ) facing each other are in a range of 15.8 mm to 16.2 mm and a range of 58° to 62°, respectively, steps ( 124 ) that are bent from end portions of the pair of elastic arms ( 123 ) to face each other and caught in the coupling hole ( 11 ), and soft grooves ( 122 a ) formed in portions of the pair of flanges ( 122 ) in contact with the pair of support arms ( 121 ) to allow the pair of elastic arms ( 123 ) to be easily deformed.
2 . The vehicle module clip of claim 1 , wherein:
one or more beads ( 126 ) are further formed on the pair of support arms ( 121 ) in an outward direction of the base ( 110 ); and
one or more beads ( 127 ) are further formed on the pair of elastic arms ( 123 ) in the outward direction of the base ( 110 ).
3 . The vehicle module clip of claim 1 , wherein one or more noise prevention protrusions ( 125 ) are formed on facing surfaces of the pair of flanges ( 122 ).
