Abstract
A clip is provided which can be brought into engagement with a mounting hole with a relatively low insertion force and which can be pulled out of the mounting hole for reuse. This clip includes a flange portion 16 which is brought into abutment with a front surface of a mounting hole, a stem portion 24 which hangs downwards from a rear surface of the flange portion 16, a pair of elastic engagement pieces 26, 26 which are extended from a distal end portion of the stem portion 24 so as to expand obliquely upwards towards the flange portion 16, and an expansion restriction which brings the elastic engagement pieces 26 into engagement with the stem portion 24 or the flange portion 16 while permitting the elastic engagement pieces 26 to deflect further inwards when the elastic engagement pieces 26 deflect inwards with a given angle. The elastic engagement pieces 26 deflect further inwards than an engagement position set by the expansion restriction mechanism so as to pass through the mounting hole 13 and expand again on a rear surface side of the mounting hole 13 so as to be brought into engagement with the mounting hole 13.
