Abstract
A clip made from a band-like metal plate having spring characteristics, includes: a back portion formed at a center portion of the metal plate in its longitudinal direction so as to have a width in the longitudinal direction corresponding to a maximum clipping thickness of the clip; a pair of abutment portions formed by bending the band-like metal plate in the same direction at longitudinally opposite ends of the back portion so that longitudinal opposite ends of the respective abutment portions form abutting edges which abut against each other for holding edge portions of sheet-like members to be clipped between the abutting edges of the abutment portions; and at least three bent portions for giving an elastic force to the abutment portions.
