Patent ID: 7740432

Claim:
An article-attaching device comprising: a casing adapted to be mounted to an object; and a holding member formed separately and configured to be fitted into the casing, the holding member having engageable portions configured to be elastically engageable with a hook of an article; the holding member comprising: a frame portion configured to be fitted to the casing through an engageable system; and a pair of torsionally-deformable members extending downward from opposed portions of the frame portion, the torsionally-deformable members having the engageable portions formed on opposed inner sides thereof so as to project therefrom and a hook receiver formed therein under the engageable portions, wherein the respective torsionally-deformable members have the engageable portions formed on the opposed inner sides so as to have substantially the same projection length as each other and to be offset in a horizontal direction, whereby the hook passes through between the engageable portions from inside of the frame portion, causing the respective torsionally-deformable members to be elastically spread and to be torsionally deformed, followed by entering the receiver to be prevented from coming out therefrom; and wherein the casing has opposed inner sides so as to confront the respective torsionally-deformable members of the holding member therebetween and to clamp portions of the hook projecting between the respective torsionally-deformable members in such a state that the hook is received in the receiver.
