Abstract

A band clip ( 1000 ) that suppresses projection from a sheet includes a binding band ( 1020 ) and a clip ( 1021 ). The binding band ( 1020 ) includes a head ( 1040 ) and a strap ( 1041 ) and the clip ( 1021 ) includes retainers ( 1060 ) as linear objects, a penetrating body ( 1061 ) as a linear object and a piercing stopper ( 1062 ) as a plate-like object. One end of the penetrating body ( 1061 ) is coupled to a base end of each of the retainers ( 1060 ). The retainers ( 1060 ) are respectively at an angle not larger than 90° to the penetrating body ( 1061 ), arranged in a distributed manner in a circumferential direction and resiliently deformable to extend along the penetrating body ( 1061 ). Another end of the penetrating body ( 1061 ) is coupled to a first principal surface ( 1160 ) of the piercing stopper ( 1062 ). The head ( 1040 ) is coupled to a second principal surface ( 1161 ) of the piercing stopper ( 1062 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A band clip configured to be attached to a supporting surface, comprising:
a binding band including a head and a strap;
a piercing stopper coupled to the head, the piercing stopper having at least one surface;
a resiliently deformable cushion having opposite first and second surfaces and a through hole extending between the first and second surfaces, the first surface facing the piercing stopper;
a linear penetrating body extending through the through hole and having opposite first and second ends, the first end coupled to the piercing stopper and the second end projecting beyond the second surface of the cushion; and
a plurality of linear objects extending from the second end of the linear penetrating body at a 90° angle to the linear penetrating body and being resiliently deformable to extend along the linear penetrating body, wherein
the linear penetrating body penetrates the supporting surface so that the supporting surface is arranged between and in close contact with the cushion and the plurality of linear objects.

2. An assembly, comprising:
a band clip comprising:
a binding band including a head and a strap;
a piercing stopper coupled to the head, the piercing stopper having at least one surface;
a resiliently deformable cushion having opposite first and second surfaces and a through hole extending between the first and second surfaces, the first surface facing the piercing stopper;
a linear penetrating body extending through the through hole and having opposite first and second ends, the first end coupled to the piercing stopper and the second end projecting beyond the second surface of the cushion; and
a plurality of linear objects extending from the second end of the linear penetrating body at a 90° angle to the linear penetrating body and being resiliently deformable to extend along the linear penetrating body;

a wiring harness to be bound by the binding band; and
a floor carpet through which the linear penetrating body penetrates and that is sandwiched by the plurality of linear objects and the resiliently deformable cushion.
