Abstract
A plastic clip comprises an insertion piece adapted to be inserted into the groove of an object having a section of the shape of the letter 'C' from one end thereof, a neck portion projecting from the center of one surface of the insertion piece and adapted to pass along the slit communicating with the groove of the object, and an oblong head piece formed at the leading end of the neck portion. The insertion piece of the clip is provided with four flexible wings projecting outwardly from the four positions on the outer boundary of the central piece. With this clip, the object is fixed on a given panel by causing the central portion of the insertion piece to be slid into the groove of the object, then allowing the oblong head piece of the clip to be passed through a matched oblong hole bored in advance in the panel and finally turning the protruding oblong head piece by 90.degree., and the removal of the object from the panel is effected by turning the oblong head piece by another 90.degree..
