Abstract
A clip includes a clip body, and a pin inserted into the clip body. The clip body includes a main body head portion having a through-hole for inserting the pin, a leg portion extending from the head, and an elastic engaging piece elastically deformable, and projecting outward from the leg portion. The pin includes a pin head portion provided with a tool-engaging portion engaging a tool for a rotational operation, and a pin shaft portion having small and large diameter portions. The main body head portion includes an inclined surface inclined from one end side toward another end side in an axial direction of the through-hole. The pin includes a guide portion slidingly contacting with the inclined surface. When the pin rotates inside the clip main body, the pin advances and retracts between a first position allowing an inward elastic deformation and a second position controlling an inward elastic deformation.
