Abstract
To provide a clip attaching structure wherein a base portion of a clip is not exposed from an outside, and attaching can be performed with a good appearance. An outer sleeve has a rear sleeve and a cap connected to a rear side of the rear sleeve, and the clip has a ring-like base portion fixed to the outer sleeve, a connecting portion extending from the base portion, and a clip main body extending approximately in parallel with the rear sleeve from the connecting portion. At the rear end portion of the rear sleeve, a bent portion is formed, and in the bent portion, a notch penetrated by the connecting portion and a second notch facing to the notch by about 180 degrees are formed. The base portion of the clip passes through the portion in the diameter direction of the rear end opening connecting the notch and the second notch, and goes through the bent portion, and is inserted into an inside of the bent portion of the rear sleeve. The connecting portion has a curved shape to project backward so that a portion thereof comes into contact with an end surface of the cap.
