Abstract
A packing fastener includes a base member and a key member. The base member includes: a first tubular portion; a flange portion provided on a first opening edge of the first tubular portion at one end; and a pair of hook members coupled to opposite inner side faces of the first tubular portion to be bent toward a second opening edge of the first tubular portion at the other end. The key member has a second tubular portion removably insertable in the first tubular portion via the first opening edge. The pair of hook members are, with no external force applied to it, arranged in a wedge shape as seen in a sectional view to be increasingly close to each other toward tip ends. An outer side face of the first tubular portion has a slope inclined inward from the first opening edge toward the second opening edge.
