Abstract:
1. A cushion clip that is configured to be attached to a first member of two members capable of relatively moving toward each other in order to dampen collision between the two members; comprising: a support portion made of a hard material and capable of being connected to an attachment hole formed in the first member; and a cushioning portion made of a soft material and integrally connected to the support member by two-color molding, wherein the support portion is integrally formed and has an engagement portion that is configured to be inserted into and engaged with the attachment hole, and a head portion to which the cushioning portion is integrally connected by two-color molding, wherein the head portion has a shoulder surface that is formed in a columnar portion thereof and extending continuously about a circumference of the columnar portion, the shoulder surface being directed in an insertion direction of the support portion into the attachment hole, wherein the cushioning portion is configured to project from the first member when the support portion is connected to the attachment hole, so as to elastically absorb impact from a second member, wherein the cushioning portion has a base portion that is positioned to surround the columnar portion of the head portion, wherein the base portion of the cushioning portion has a bulged portion that is circumferentially formed in at least a portion thereof so as to circumferentially extend along the shoulder surface formed in the columnar portion, the bulged portion being shaped to project beyond the shoulder surface in the insertion direction of the support portion, so as to elastically contact the first member to prevent the shoulder surface from contacting the first member when the cushion clip is applied with the impact from the second member and, wherein the base portion of the cushioning portion has a lip portion that is circumferentially formed therein so as to circumferentially surround the bulged portion, and wherein the lip portion has a height greater than the bulged portion in the insertion direction of the support portion.
