A clip includes a male member including a head portion and a shaft portion; a female member including a locking leg portion forming an insertion hole into which the shaft portion is inserted, and a flange portion provided in an upper periphery of the locking leg portion; and an engagement device restraining the head portion in the flange portion substantially at the same time when the locking leg portion comes to a use state by pushing the shaft portion into the insertion hole. Essential parts are the engagement device formed by a claw portion provided in one of the head portion and the flange portion, and a hole portion provided in the other of the head portion and the flange portion, and engaging the claw portion. The claw portion projects to a piece portion elastically moveable, and one portion of a hole forming portion dividing the hole portion is formed to be elastically moveable through the hole portion.

Clip

A clip includes a flange part capable of face-contacting a periphery part of an opening formed in an attachment member, and a main body part provided on the flange part and inserted into the opening. A locking claw is formed on the main body part to be inserted into an attachment hole formed in an attachment receiving member to which the attachment part is attached for locking on a peripheral part of the attachment hole. An operation piece extends from the locking claw for converting a pressing force pressed by a tool inserted into an operation hole formed in the flange part into a force causing the locking claw to be unlocked from the peripheral part of the attachment hole.

A glass plate holding device is used for holding a glass plate or a window glass to an opening of, for example, an automobile when the glass plate is fixed to the opening. The holding device is formed of a base plate to be attached to the glass plate, a leg fixed to the base plate at a base end and projecting in a direction away from the base plate, and a pawl formed at a forward end of the leg. The pawl enters into a mounting hole provided in a flange for the opening and engages an edge of the mounting hole to prevent the glass plate from being lifted.
