Abstract

A clip that hooks, and thus fixes, a cover of a seat onto a frame structure includes a cover connecting portion that is integrally connected to the cover; a hook-shaped hook portion that hooks onto, and thus fixes to, the frame structure; and a planar covering portion that is formed in a position facing a back side portion of the hook portion. An opening that enables the back side portion of the hook portion to be visible is formed in the covering portion.

Claims

1. A clip that hooks, and thus fixes, a cover of a seat onto a frame structure, comprising:

a cover connecting portion that is integrally connected to the cover;

a hook-shaped hook portion that hooks onto, and thus fixes to, the frame structure; and

a planar covering portion that is formed in a position facing a back side portion of the hook portion,

wherein an opening that enables the back side portion of the hook portion to be visible is formed in the covering portion.

2. The clip according to claim 1, wherein the hook portion has a long shape that hooks onto, and thus fixes to, a linear hanging wire that forms the frame structure, in a state broadly engaged in a direction in which the hanging wire extends;

and a through-window that is open through the hook portion and the covering portion, and in which a shape is cut out, is formed, and the opening is formed communicated with the through-window.

3. The clip according to claim 2, wherein the through-window is formed, as a cutout portion that is formed near an obstacle that impedes the hook portion from being hooked onto the hanging wire, and that avoids interference with the obstacle, in the hanging wire.

4. The clip according to claim 1, wherein the opening is formed larger than the hook shape of the hook portion.
