Patent ID: 7966702

Claim:
An energy absorption member securing structure in which an energy absorption member is secured to a component by a clip, wherein the clip comprises: a flange to be positioned at a surface of the energy absorption member; a shaft projecting from the flange toward an energy absorption member side; an anchor spreading from an end of the shaft and to be embedded in the energy absorption member; and a locking section projecting from the flange on a side opposite the shaft and configured to lock the clip in the component, wherein the locking section includes an upright segment standing upright from the flange, and a locking piece laterally projecting from a side surface of the upright segment and resiliently thrustable and retractable in a projecting direction of the locking piece, wherein the locking piece extends parallel to a direction in which the upright segment stands upright, wherein the locking piece is formed into a projecting point projecting in the lateral direction; wherein, in a portion of the locking piece near a tip of the upright segment with respect to the projecting point, a first slope whose amount of projection gradually becomes smaller toward the tip is provided; and wherein, in a portion of the locking piece near the flange with respect to the projecting point, a second slope whose amount of projection gradually becomes smaller toward the flange is provided; wherein the component comprises: a hole that locks with the locking section by inserting the upright segment through the hole such that the second slope locks with an edge of the hole remote from the energy absorption member; wherein a height extending from a lowest point of the second slope to the projecting point is greater than a thickness of the component; and wherein the locking piece has a third slope between the projecting point and the second slope, the third slope having a different inclination than the second slope.
