Clip structure and wire-like member fixing method
View Patent ↗There are disclosed a clip structure for installing a wire-like member and a tubular member on a mounting member and a wire-like member fixing method. The structure includes a base portion 11 , a wire-like member fixing portion 12 which is formed on one side of the base portion 11 so as to fix the wire-like member to the wire-like member fixing portion, and a tubular member fixing portion 13 which is formed on the other side of the base portion 11 so as to fix the tubular member to the tubular member fixing portion. The base portion 11 is mounted on the mounting member in such a manner that the tubular member, fixed to the tubular member fixing portion 13 , can be received in a recess formed in the mounting member.
1. A clip structure comprising:
a plate-like base portion;
a wire-like member fixing portion formed on one side of said base portion so as to fix a wire-like member to said wire-like member fixing portion at the one side of the base portion; and
a tubular member fixing portion formed on the other side of said base portion, opposite the first side, so as to fix a tubular member to said tubular member fixing portion at the other side of the base portion,
wherein said base portion is mounted on a mounting member of a vehicle in such a manner that said tubular member, fixed to said tubular member fixing portion, is received in a recess formed in said mounting member.
2. A clip structure according to claim 1 , wherein said base portion has an arm portion projecting therefrom in a direction perpendicular to said wire-like member, fixed to said wire-like member fixing portion, and said tubular member fixed to said tubular member fixing portion; and
wherein said arm portion has a retaining portion for engagement with said mounting member.
3. A clip structure according to claim 2 , wherein said retaining portion is disposed at a region with respect to said wire-like member fixing portion in a direction defined by projecting of said arm portion.
4. A method of fixing a wire-like member and a tubular member to a portion of a vehicle, comprising the steps of:
providing a clip having a tubular member fixing portion and a wire fixing portion on opposite sides thereof;
fixing the wire-like member to the wire fixing portion;
fixing the tubular member to said tubular member fixing portion of the clip;
installing said tubular member in a recess formed in said portion of the vehicle; and
fixing said clip to said portion of the vehicle.
5. A clip structure in combination with a mounting member of a vehicle to which said clip structure is mounted, said mounting member including a recess therein, said clip structure comprising:
a plate-like base portion;
a wire-like member fixing portion formed on one side of said base portion so as to fix a wire-like member to said wire-like member fixing portion at the one side of the base portion; and
a tubular member fixing portion formed on the other side of said base portion, opposite the first side, so as to fix a tubular member to said tubular member fixing portion at the other side of the base portion, wherein said base portion is mounted on said mounting member of the vehicle in such a manner that said tubular member, fixed to said tubular member fixing portion, is received in the recess formed in said mounting member.
