Abstract:
1. A structure comprising a clip made of a resin material for fastening at least two members and the two members, at least one of the two members is disposed with a clip insertion hole for thrusting the clip into, the clip includes an operation portion which is disposed at a rear end of the clip, and a locking portion which is disposed to be connected to the operation portion and inserted into the clip insertion hole, the locking portion includes a locking main body portion extended to a front side of the operation portion in a direction intersecting with the operation portion, a hook portion which is cut out by a cutout portion disposed at an upper surface of the locking main body portion and is coupled to the locking main body portion only by a base end disposed on the front side and is elastically freely rotatable upward and downward using the base end as a fulcrum, and a connecting portion between the operation portion and the locking main body portion formed into a taper shape expanding in a width direction toward the operation portion in plan view of the clip, a width of the locking main body portion is narrower than an inner width of the clip insertion hole, and a width of the operation portion is wider than the inner width of the clip insertion hole, the hook portion includes a front side inclined surface having a projecting length from the upper surface of the locking main body portion continuously increasing from the base end of the hook portion toward the operation portion and a rear side inclined surface connected via a top portion of the hook portion to the front side inclined surface and having a projecting length from the upper surface of the locking main body portion continuously decreasing toward the operation portion, a length of the rear side inclined surface of the hook portion is set such that, when the connecting portion abuts on a first opening edge that is a vertical opening edge on an entry side of the clip insertion hole, an end of the rear side inclined surface is located in the rear of a second opening edge that is a horizontal edge on an exit side of the clip insertion hole, a height of the upper surface of the locking main body portion is set such that, when the connecting portion abuts on the first opening edge, the upper surface of the locking main body portion upwardly presses a ceiling surface of the clip insertion hole, a height from a bottom surface of the locking main body portion to the base end of the hook portion is lower than an inside height of the clip insertion hole, and a height to the top portion of the hook portion is higher than the inside height of the clip insertion hole, a length from a back surface of the operation portion to the front end of the connecting portion is shorter than a distance from the back surface to the top portion of the hook portion, a distance from the connecting portion to the top portion of the hook portion is shorter than a length in a longitudinal direction of the clip insertion hole.
