Abstract
In a clip for engagement of an outer layer, the outer layer covering a foam member in a state held by the foam member being caught to a foam member side by engagement of an engaged portion provided at a rear side of the outer layer, the clip includes a base configured to be held by the foam member, a pair of projection walls erected on the base and facing each other, engagement portions extending from the projection walls in a width direction of the projection walls, and arranged to be swingable substantially parallel to the base or horizontally, wherein the engaged portion is configured to be sandwiched between the engagement portions to elastically engage. Accordingly, since the engagement portion bends horizontally relative the base, the overall height can be made low.
