Clip
First Claim
1. A clip comprising:
- a grommet and a pin which are molded with resin;
wherein the grommet has a flange and a pair of leg pieces that extend from the back surface of the flange and is pushed into a fixing hole formed in an object to be fixed;
wherein the flange has a pair of right and left flange bodies, a pair of bridges for joining the respective flange bodies and an opening portion formed at a center portion surrounded by the flange bodies and the bridges;
wherein the pair of leg pieces are joined to each other at the tip portions thereof;
wherein the pin has a shaft portion and a head portion formed at one end of the shaft portion;
wherein the shaft portion is molded concurrently together with the flange so as to form a one-piece construction and so that the shaft portion of the pin penetrates through an opening portion of the flange; and
wherein peripheral walls of the opening portion are formed by respective end faces of the flange bodies and the bridges, and right and left peripheral walls formed by the end faces of the flange bodies and front and rear peripheral walls formed by the end faces of the bridges are respectively positionally offset from one another in a thickness direction so that the right and left peripheral walls do not respectively linearly intersect the front and rear peripheral walls along an entirety thereof in which the right and left peripheral walls are disposed below an upper surface of the flange and the front and rear peripheral walls are disposed above the upper surface of the flange; and
wherein a space adjacently between the right and left peripheral walls and a space adjacently between the front and rear peripheral walls are each opened, in defining said opening portion of the flange, so as to extend to the outside of the flange respectively below and above the upper surface of the flange in directions respectively orthogonal to one another.

Abstract
A clip comprises a grommet and a pin, and the grommet has a flange and leg pieces. The flange has a pair of right and left flange bodies, bridges for joining the flange bodies, and an opening portion formed at the center portion thereof. Peripheral walls of the opening portion are formed by the respective end faces of the flange bodies and the bridges, and the right and left peripheral walls formed by the end faces of the flange bodies and the front and rear peripheral walls formed by the end faces of the bridges are offset in a thickness direction, thereby establishing a positional relationship in which the right and left peripheral walls and the front and rear peripheral walls do not intersect to each other.
