An approximately cylindrical housing is coupled to one pipe, and the other pipe having an annular protruding portion on an outer periphery at an end portion is inserted into the housing to be coupled. Inside the housing, are installed a stopper that is held at an initial position in close proximity to an opening portion of the housing and moves to a push-in position away from the opening portion of the housing when the other pipe is fully introduced inside, and a retainer having a locking piece that is inserted through an opening portion, formed in a top wall of the housing, in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the housing and engages with the annular protruding portion of the other pipe while the end portion of the other pipe is fully inserted. The retainer cannot be inserted unless the stopper moves to the push-in position.

Abstract:
A joint for fuel tank is attached to an opening of a resin fuel tank. The joint includes a joint main body and a flanged junction. The flanged junction is connected to the joint main body and is weldable to a periphery of the opening of the fuel tank. The joint main body includes a semi-aromatic polyamide obtained by polymerization of source monomers containing an aromatic monomer component and an aliphatic monomer component. An amount of a terminal amino group of the semi-aromatic polyamide is greater than or equal to 40 μeq/g. The junction includes a modified polyolefin having: a density in a range of 0.930 to 0.950; and a melt flow rate as measured in accordance with JIS-K7210 in a range of 0.06 to 3.0 g/10 minutes.
Abstract:
A metal clip for vehicle accessory fixation and a vehicle accessory installation structure using the metal clip, capable of improving a yield ratio of a metal plate required to form the metal clip and capable of reliably performing temporary fixation of accessories to an interior member. A metal clip (10) for vehicle accessory fixation has first V-shaped tabs (33) that are bent into a substantially V shape as seen from a side, an end edge of each of which V-shaped tabs (33) is an installation section (34) for engaging with a base section (12) of an accessory, and in which an engagement section (36a) for engagement with an installation hole of a vehicle panel is provided in the middle of each tab; an extension section (37) extended in a folding line (32) direction from a valley bottom section (31) of the first V-shaped tabs (33); and second V-shaped tabs (38) that extend from both sides of the extension section (37) in the direction crossing the extension section (37), each of which second V-shaped tabs (38) is bent in a V shape with an extension section (37) as the valley bottom section (31), and whose end sections (38a) engage with holes (51) of an interior member (50) to temporarily fix the accessory.
Abstract:
A mounting structure of a vehicle interior material, includes: a boss part protruded from a rear surface of a vehicle interior material; a clip which has a U-shaped body; a mounting hole punched through the vehicle body; a first engaging piece to be engaged with an engaging hole provided on the boss part; a second engaging piece that faces the engaging hole; and an inclined shoulder to be locked by an edge of the mounting hole, wherein: the vehicle interior material is mounted on a vehicle body by locking the boss part in the mounting hole; the first engaging piece is formed on an inner surface of one sidewall, and the second engaging piece is formed on an inner surface of the other sidewall of the U-shaped body; and the inclined shoulder is form on the upper outer surface of the other sidewall.
Abstract:
Provided is a two-piece clip that can be detached from a mounting hole easily and reliably. A two-piece clip includes a grommet and a pin. The pin has a flange portion, a shaft portion, and a first lock member to be engaged with the peripheral edge of a mounting hole. A first lock groove is formed in the outer periphery of the distal end portion of the shaft portion, and, further, a second lock groove is formed in the outer periphery of the shaft portion on the proximal end side of the first lock groove. The grommet has a cylinder portion, an opening through which a first lock member is projected and retracted, and an elastic member deflectably formed at the distal end of the cylinder portion and adapted to be engaged with the first lock groove and the second lock groove; when the elastic member is engaged with the first lock groove of the pin, the first lock member protrudes from the opening; and, when the elastic member is engaged with the second lock groove, the first lock member is pressed by the peripheral edge of the opening and drawn into the opening.
