Abstract

It is provided a covering clamping clamp set formed by coupling a plurality of clamps together. Each of the clamps comprises a base portion formed as a plate shape and retaining a foam body as well as a clamping portion protruded from the base portion and clamping a member to be clamped which is mounted on a covering covers the foam body, wherein a fragile portion is provided between adjacent ones of the clamps. The covering clamping clamp set is capable of improving operating efficiency, shortening operating time and reducing cost.

Claims (26)

1. A covering clamping clamp set formed by coupling a plurality of clamps together, wherein each of the clamps comprises:

a planar base portion formed as a planar plate shape and retaining a foam body;

the planar plate shape having a long dimension having long edges and a short dimension having short edges, and including a notch formed into each long edge; and

a clamping portion protruding from the planar base portion and configured to clamp a member which is mounted on a covering that covers the foam body;

wherein a fragile portion is formed on each long edge outside of the notch; and

wherein the plurality of clamps are coupled to one another by the fragile portions, which have a thickness smaller than that of the planar base portion.

2. The covering clamping clamp set according to claim 1 , characterized in that the fragile portion is formed by a slot having a V-shaped cross section.

3. The covering clamping clamp set according to claim 1 , characterized in that the fragile portion is formed by a slot having a rectangular cross section.

4. The covering clamping clamp set according to claim 1 , characterized in that in a thickness direction of the base portion, one side of the fragile portion is formed by a slot having a V-shaped cross section, and the other side of the fragile portion is formed by a slot having a rectangular cross section.

5. The covering clamping clamp set according to claim 2 , characterized in that an angle of the V-shaped slot is between 30 and 90 degrees.

6. The covering clamping clamp set according to claim 4 , characterized in that an angle of the V-shaped slot is 60 degrees.

7. The covering clamping clamp set according to claim 3 , characterized in that a bottom of the rectangular slot has a width of 0.1 mm or less.

8. The covering clamping clamp set according to claim 7 , characterized in that the width of the bottom of the rectangular slot is 0.06 mm.

9. The covering clamping clamp set according to claim 1 , characterized in that the fragile portion has a thickness no more than half of that of the base portion.

10. The covering clamping clamp set according to claim 9 , characterized in that the thickness of the fragile portion is 0.5 mm or less.

11. The covering clamping clamp set according to claim 10 , characterized in that the thickness of the fragile portion is 0.4 mm.

12. A covering clamping clamp set formed by coupling a plurality of clamps together, wherein each of the clamps comprises:

a base portion formed as a plate shape and retaining a foam body;

the plate shape having a long dimension having long edges and a short dimension having short edges, and including a notch formed into each long edge;

two clamping portions protruding from the base portion and each configured to clamp a member which is mounted on a covering that covers the foam body;

wherein a coupling portion is formed on each long edge outside of the notch; and

wherein the plurality of clamps are coupled to one another by the coupling portions.

13. The covering clamping clamp set according to claim 4 , characterized in that an angle of the V-shaped slot is between 30 and 90 degrees.

14. The covering clamping clamp set according to claim 4 , characterized in that a bottom of the rectangular slot has a width of 0.1 mm or less.

15. The covering clamping clamp set according to claim 2 , characterized in that the fragile portion has a thickness no more than half of that of the base portion.

16. The covering clamping clamp set according to claim 3 , characterized in that the fragile portion has a thickness no more than half of that of the base portion.
