Abstract
A clip has elastic locking claws at a fixing section to be inserted in a hole of a member. The fixation section () of the clip () is a hollow box-shaped block and has a rectangular or oval shape with two opposite long sides (L, L) and two opposite short sides (S, S). The locking claws () form a part of the associated long side. One of the locking claws () is provided in a diagonal direction relative to the other in the lateral cross section of the fixing section. The locking claws are connected to each other in a space () at the center of the fixing section by an elastic claw-connecting section (). The claw-connecting section () applies to the locking claws elasticity that causes the locking claws to project outward. Thus, the elastic locking claws have increased locking force.
