Abstract
A clip. A leg portion is inserted through a mounting hole formed in a member to be mounted, and into a mounting hole formed in a holding member which holds the member to be mounted. A head portion is formed at one end portion of the leg portion. The member to be mounted is interposed between the head portion and the holding member and is fixed to the holding member. A core member is provided in the leg portion so as to extend from one end portion of the leg portion to another end portion of the leg portion. A plurality of supporting members are provided so as to extend in a radial direction from the core member and are provided along a longitudinal direction of the core member. A portion of an elastic deforming member is supported at respective distal end portions of the plurality of supporting members. The elastic deforming member is provided from the respective distal end portions of the plurality of supporting members along a circumferential direction of the mounting holes so as to correspond to a configuration of the mounting holes. Circumferential direction end portions of the elastic deforming member are elastically deformable in a substantially radial direction. An engaging …
