Abstract

A cover anchor clip comprising a base section; an anchor portion including a pair of extension portions that stands up from the base section so as to face each other, a pair of anchor claws that is formed at respective leading ends of the pair of extension portions and that projects out toward sides where the extension portions mutually face each other, and a protrusion that is formed at each leading end of the extension portions and that projects out to the opposite side to the mutually facing sides of the extension portions; and upstanding portions standing up from the base section, each of the upstanding portions can make contact with either one of the protrusions in the event that either one of the extension portions is elastically deformed and the pair of anchor claws move away from each other.

Claims (13)

1. A cover anchor clip comprising:

a plate shaped base section for retention in a foam body;

an anchor portion including

a pair of extension portions that stands up from the base section and that are disposed facing each other,

a pair of anchor claws that are formed at respective leading ends of the pair of extension portions, and that project out toward sides in which the extension portions mutually face each other so that the pair of anchor claws are configured to anchor an anchored member attached to a cover for covering the foam body when the anchored member is inserted between the pair of anchor claws, and

a protrusion that is formed at each of the respective leading ends of the pair of extension portions and that projects out to the opposite side to the mutually facing sides of the pair of extension portions; and

upstanding portions respectively standing up from the base section and able to make contact with the protrusions in the event that either one of the extension portions undergoes elastic deformation such that the pair of anchor claws move away from each other,

wherein the plate shaped base section and the anchor portion are formed as one piece, and wherein a plate face of the base section extends between each of the extension portions and each of the upstanding portions.

2. The cover anchor clip of claim 1 , wherein:

a top face is formed at each of the respective leading ends of the upstanding portions so as to face toward an upstanding direction the upstanding portion stands up in; and

a contact face is formed at each of the protrusions so as to make contact with the top face.

3. The cover anchor clip of claim 1 , wherein, in a state in which the pair of extension portions undergo elastic deformation in order to insert and anchor the anchored member between the pair of anchor claws, a gap is respectively formed between the protrusion and the upstanding portion.

4. The cover anchor clip of claim 1 , wherein the pair of extension portions is angled so as to be further apart from each other at leading ends thereof than at base ends thereof.
