Abstract

There is provided a cover-material fixing tool. A cover-material fixing end member is configured to be attached on a cover-material. A clip is configured to be attached on a cover-material fixing end member. The cover-material fixing end member includes a tape member, a clip locking member, and a plurality of stoppers. The clip includes a locking portion for holding the clip locking member to allow the clip locking member to move in a longitudinal direction, and a locking protrusion protruding toward the clip locking member and configured to abut against the stoppers. The clip is movable between the adjacent stoppers to allow position adjustment thereof.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cover-material fixing tool configured to be attached on a cover-material and to be locked on a locked member installed in a cushion material, comprising:
a cover-material fixing end member configured to be attached on the cover-material; and
a clip configured to be attached on the cover-material fixing end member,
wherein the cover-material fixing end member comprises a tape member configured to be fixed on an end edge portion of the cover-material, a clip locking member attached along a longitudinal direction on a side edge portion of the tape member opposite to the cover-material, and a plurality of stoppers formed on the clip locking member at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction,
wherein the clip comprises a locking portion for holding the clip locking member to allow the clip locking member to move in the longitudinal direction, and a locking protrusion protruding toward the clip locking member and configured to abut against the stoppers, and
wherein the clip is movable between the adjacent stoppers to allow position adjustment thereof,
wherein the clip is movable between the adjacent stoppers to allow position adjustment thereof,
wherein on the clip locking member, a plurality of locking recess portions configured to allow the locking protrusion of the clip to be inserted therein are formed at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction, wherein a part between each pair of locking recess portions defines each of the stoppers, and
wherein a length of the locking recess portions in the longitudinal direction is formed to be greater than a width of the locking protrusion in the longitudinal direction such that the locking protrusion of the clip is movable in the longitudinal direction between the stoppers at both sides of each of the locking recess portions to allow the position adjustment of the clip.

2. The cover-material fixing tool according to claim 1 , wherein the locking portion of the clip is provided with a pair of locking claws for holding the clip locking member, and wherein the locking protrusion is provided on each of opposing inner surfaces of arm portions of the pair of locking claws.

3. The cover-material fixing tool according to claim 1 , wherein the adjacent stoppers have a contact surface with the locking protrusion, and wherein the contact surface is inclined toward a distal end side of the stoppers in a protruding direction thereof, so that the locking recess portions are widened.

4. The cover-material fixing tool according to claim 2 , wherein a length obtained by subtracting the width of the locking protrusions from the length of the locking recess portions in the longitudinal direction is shorter than a length from an end portion of the locking claws to the locking protrusions.

5. A cover-material fixing tool configured to be attached on a cover-material and to be locked on a locked member installed in a cushion material, comprising:
a cover-material fixing end member configured to be attached on the cover-material; and
a clip configured to be attached on the cover-material fixing end member,
wherein the cover-material fixing end member comprises a tape member configured to be fixed on an end edge portion of the cover-material, a clip locking member attached along a longitudinal direction on a side edge portion of the tape member opposite to the cover-material, and a plurality of stoppers formed on the clip locking member at equal intervals long the longitudinal direction,
wherein the clip comprises a locking portion for holding the clip locking member to allow the clip locking member to move in the longitudinal direction, and a locking protrusion protruding toward the clip locking member and configured to abut against the stoppers, wherein the clip is movable between the adjacent stoppers to allow position adjustment thereof, and
wherein the clip locking member has a lower edge portion formed to allow the pair of locking claws to be held thereon, and wherein on a side surface wall portion of the groove portion, which is a surface parallel to a side surface of the tape member, a plurality of ridges and valley portions between each pair of ridges are consecutively provided along the longitudinal direction to allow the locking protrusion to be locked thereon, and also the stoppers are provided at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction to further protrude than the ridges.

6. A cover-material fixing tool configured to be attached on a cover-material and to be locked on a locked member installed in a cushion material, comprising:
a cover-material fixing end member configured to be attached on the cover-material; and
a clip configured to be attached on the cover-material fixing end member,
wherein the cover-material fixing end member comprises a tape member configured to be fixed on an end edge portion of the cover-material, a clip locking member attached along a longitudinal direction on a side edge portion of the tape member opposite to the cover-material, and a plurality of stoppers formed on the clip locking member at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction,
wherein the clip comprises a locking portion for holding the clip locking member to allow the clip locking member to move in the longitudinal direction, and a locking protrusion protruding toward the clip locking member and configured to abut against the stoppers,
wherein the clip is movable between the adjacent stoppers to allow position adjustment thereof,
wherein on the clip locking member, a plurality of locking recess portions configured to allow the locking protrusion of the clip to be inserted therein are formed at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction, wherein a part between each pair of locking recess portions defines each of the stoppers,
wherein a length of the locking recess portions in the longitudinal direction is formed to be greater than a width of the locking protrusion in the longitudinal direction,
wherein the locking portion of the clip is provided with a pair of locking claws for holding the clip locking member,
wherein the locking protrusion is provided on each of opposing inner surfaces of arm portions of the pair of locking claws, wherein each of the locking recess portions is provided with a flat surface portion, which is a surface parallel to a side surface of the tape member, and
wherein a distance between a pair of locking protrusions has such a length that, when the locking protrusions are respectively inserted from both sides into a pair of locking recess portions located on both side of the cover-material fixing end member with the tape member interposing therebetween, the locking protrusions respectively abut against the flat surface portions, thereby allowing the pair of locking claws to clamp the locking recess portions therebetween so that sliding thereof along the longitudinal direction is locked by a frictional force.
