Patent ID: 6997662

Claim:
An attachment clip for attaching a first member to a second member having a bolt projecting therefrom, the first member having a bolt hole formed to allow passage of a shank of the bolt in an axial direction, the attachment clip comprising: a clip body having an abutting part for abutment against the first member, the clip body having a shank hole for passage of the shank of the bolt and an outer flange formed at an outer periphery of the clip body, wherein the abutting part is formed with an abutting line extending parallel to the outer circumferential edge of the outer flange and extending away from the clip body in the axial direction, and the clip body is apart from the outer flange for a predetermined distance extending away from the clip body in the axial direction, thereby providing the clip body and the outer flange with a step-shaped section; and a plurality of engagement claws formed around the shank hole so as to project from the inner periphery of the clip body to the shank hole inwardly in the radial direction and also inclined to the clip body so that respective engagement tips of the engagement claws depart from the clip body along the axial direction of the attachment clip, thereby providing the engagement claws as a whole with a substantial cone-shaped configuration, wherein the engagement claws can engage with the shank of the bolt of the second member while urging the first member toward the second member along the axial direction of the bolt, wherein the engagement claws include at least two specific claws adjoining in the circumferential direction of the shank hole, wherein the engagement tips of the two specific claws are apart from each other at a predetermined distance extending away from the clip body in the axial direction, and wherein the predetermined distance is equal to one or more pitches of threads formed on the shank of the bolt.
