The first and second hinge protective protrusions 36, 43 limit bending directions of the first and second thin-walled hinges 14, 15, on the occasion that first and second covers 12, 13 engage with a clamp main body 11 so as to clamp down a flat cable 60 between the first and second covers 12, 13 and the clamp main body 11.
