Cushion clip

Abstract

A cushion clip may include a hollow cushioning portion having a substantially circular central opening, and an engagement portion that is integrated with the cushioning portion. The cushioning portion has a bottom wall portion and a side wall portion. The side wall portion,has cone-shaped outer and inner surfaces that are linearly tapered from a proximal end thereof toward a distal end thereof. The side wall portion has a top portion that is formed in the distal end thereof. The top portion has a radially inwardly projected inner periphery that defines the central opening therein.

1 . A cushion clip that is constructed to be attached to an attachment hole formed in either of a stationary member and a movable member while the cushion clip is positioned therebetween, so as to absorb an impact that can be produced when the movable member moves toward the stationary member, comprising:
 a hollow cushioning portion that is capable of absorbing the impact and has a substantially circular central opening, and   an engagement portion that is integrated with the cushioning portion and is capable of engaging the attachment hole,   wherein the cushioning portion has a bottom wall portion and a side wall portion,   wherein the side wall portion has cone-shaped outer and inner surfaces that are linearly tapered from a proximal end thereof toward a distal end thereof,   wherein the side wall portion has a top portion that is formed in the distal end thereof, and   wherein the top portion has a radially inwardly projected inner periphery that defines the central opening therein.   
     
     
         2 . The cushion clip as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the side wall portion has a thickness that is reduced from the proximal end thereof toward'the distal end thereof. 
     
     
         3 . A cushion clip comprising:
 a hollow cushioning portion having an opening, and   an engagement portion that is connected to the cushioning portion,   wherein the cushioning portion has a bottom wall portion and a side wall portion,   wherein the side wall portion has cone-shaped outer and inner surfaces that are linearly tapered from a proximal end thereof toward a distal end thereof,   wherein the side wall portion is thinned in the distal end thereof,   wherein the side wall portion has a top portion that is formed in the distal end thereof, and   wherein the top portion is radially inwardly projected to define the opening therein.
