Abstract
A clip includes an abutting portion abutting against an outer surface of a case; an insertion hole to which a sensor main body can be inserted; a holding tube through which the sensor main body can pass, and can internally hold an overhanging portion; a leg tube which can be inserted into an attachment hole; and elastic claws sandwiching the case between the abutting portion and the elastic claws. In the abutting portion, at least a pair of ribs is provided, which is positioned respectively in both end portions in a diametrical direction of the abutting portion; protrudes toward the outer surface of the case; and applies a force to the holding tube in a direction bending the abutting portion and narrowing an open end surface when the case is sandwiched between the pair of elastic claws and the ribs.
