Abstract:
A clip has an engagement portion including: a first arm with a first claw at the top end side; a second arm with a second claw at the top end side; and a bottom provided at the respective base end sides of the first arm and the second arm. Projections of the first claw and the second claw defines a left-right width of a mouth. A third claw projects into the retaining space at a position closer to the base end of the first arm, and a fourth claw is provided which projects into the retaining space at a position closer to the base end of the second arm. The third claw is narrower than the first claw in their widths along a front-back direction orthogonal to the depth direction of the retaining space extending from the mouth to the bottom and the left-right width direction of the mouth.

Claim (Index 1):
A combination of a cord and one or more clips,\n said one or more clips each comprising: left and right arms each including base and top ends, the left arm including a first claw and a third claw, and the right arm including a second claw and a fourth claw; and a bottom to which respective base ends of the left and right arms are coupled, the third claw positioned between the first claw and the bottom, and the fourth claw positioned between the second claw and the bottom, said cord comprising a tape and a molded portion attached to the tape, the molded portion including: left and right top surfaces being arranged to sandwich the tape and to be covered at least partially by the first and second claws respectively; left and right side surfaces extending away from the left or right top surface toward a bottom end of the molded portion; one or more left grooves into which the third claw is inserted when the clip and the cord are coupled, the left groove being formed at least on the left side surface; one or more right grooves into which the fourth claw is inserted when the clip and the cord are coupled, the right groove being formed at least on the right side surface; a left portion that is sandwiched between the third claw and the bottom of the clip when the clip and the cord are coupled; and a right portion that is sandwiched between the fourth claw and the bottom of the clip when the clip and the cord are coupled.
