16 Claims, 5 Drawing Figures PANEL SPACING AND HOLDING CLIP The invention relates to a clip for the assembly of unstressed panels to frame members and is particularly applicable to the assembly of interior trim panels to body frames in the bodywork of a passenger service vehicle, such as a bus or coach.
The invention is concerned with enabling panels to be assembled to frames with a finished mould over the joints between adjacent panels in a manner requiring very much less skilled labour than the traditional practice of screwing or rivetting the panels to the structure and then securing the finishing mould with further screws.
In accordance with the invention a clip has: a plurality of pegs or other means by which it may be applied to or engage a support; lugs or projections arranged to locate the adjacent edges of two panels against the clip; and means to engage and retain a finishing mould which is adapted to retain the panels against the clip and cover the joint between the panels.
How the invention may be carried out will now be described, by way of example only and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. I is a plan view of a clip constructed according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a section on the line AA of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a rear view of the clip in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is an end view of the clip in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary view taken in the direction of the arrow B in FIG. 4. V
The clip comprises a first portion 1 which has two pegs 2a and 2b formed on one of its sides, the pegs being adapted to locate in apertures 3 in a metal support 4. A resilient socket portion 5 is formed on the other side of the first portion 1 and is adapted to engage and retain a finishing mould 6.
The socket portion comprises two projections 5a and 5b formed on the first portion 1, the projections 5a and 5b being part cylindrical in shape in order to accommodate a correspondingly cylindrical shaped portion 6a of the finishing mould 6.
The clip has two second portions 7a and 7b which are connected to the first portion 1 by webs 8a and 8b, the two second portions 7a and 7b having a gap 9 between them which is aligned with the socket portion 5.
Lugs or projections 10a and 10b are formed on the two second portions 7a and 7b respectively and define the edges of the gap 9. The lugs or projections 10a and 10b are adapted to locate the adjacent edges of two trim panels 11 and 12 respectively against the clip.
The finishing mould 6 has a facing portion 6b which covers the gap between the two trim panels 11 and 12.
The whole of the clip is moulded in one piece from a synthetic plastics material. The pegs 2a and'2b are formed with two indentations 13 (FIG. I) on one side of the peg and a third indentation 14 (FIG. 5) on the other side of the peg in order to make the peg resilient so that it can pass through the aperture 3 in the support 4 and then regain its original shape to locate the clip against the support 4.
The socket portions 50 and 5b are also dimensioned to make them resilient so that the cylindrical portion 6a in the finishing mould can be snapped into the socket portions and be retained therein.
Variations may be made to the clip described above without departing from the scope of the invention.
For example, the lugs 10a and 10b can have a second portion which extends parallel to the portions 7a and 7b respectively inorder to enclose the edge of the respective trim panels. Variations may also be made in the shape of the first portion 1, the second portions 7a and 7b and the connecting webs 8a and 8b.
Furthermore, instead of the clip having integral pegs 2a, 2b for mounting it on the support, the first portion 1 can carry a separate carrier member which itself has means for engaging in apertures in the support. For example, the separate carrier member could be made of metal and comprise a pressed metal member having a portion which engages the first portion 1 and having projections which engage in the aperture 3 in the support 4.
The clip described and shown has been designed for mounting internal trim panels in the body of a bus. The bus body is of integral construction and comprises a se ries of frame members each of which includes two uprights, one on each side of the body and a roof member or roof-stick which interconnects two up-rights. Each of the up-rights has a plurality of apertures formed in it into which the pegs 2a, 2b of clips as shown in the drawings can be inserted. After all the clips have been mounted on the up-rights the trim panels are then located against the clips, by the lugs 10a, 10b and the finishing moulds 6 are then snapped into place.
By this method of mounting the frame panels, a considerable reduction in assembly time is achieved. Furthermore, less skill is required to mount the panels than is the case when conventional methods employing screwing or rivetting the panels to the structure and then securing the finishing mould with further screws.
