Abstract
A clip for attaching an attaching article to an object member may include an engagement claw configured to engage an attaching hole formed in the object member. The clip may also include a slide body configured to retainably hold the engagement claw on the attaching article and configured to slide the engagement claw with respect to the attaching article so as to project and retract the engagement claw. The clip may also include an elastic body configured to apply a restoring force to the engagement claw when the engagement claw slides from a projected state to a retracted state with respect to the attaching article, so as to provide a biasing force to return the engagement claw toward the projected state.
