Clip

A clip having a clip main body that is configured to be coupled to a coupling rib of an attachment base formed in an attaching article and to be inserted into an attaching hole formed in an object member, the clip main body comprising:

• a head portion;
• a pair of inner legs continuous with the head portion and respectively configured to engage the coupling rib of the attachment base;
• and
• a pair of outer legs respectively continuous with distal end portions of the inner legs and having distal end portions positioned adjacent to the head portion, the outer legs respectively having shoulder portions respectively including most-bulged portions,
• wherein the outer legs are configured such that pressing portions formed in the distal end portions thereof are respectively pressed to bearing surfaces formed in the coupling rib while the shoulder portions of the outer legs engage a rear surface-side periphery of the attaching hole of the object member in an attached condition in which the clip main body connected to the coupling rib of the attachment base is inserted into and held in the attaching hole of the object member, and
• wherein the outer legs are configured such that when an extraction force is applied to the clip main body in the attached condition of the clip main body, the pressing portions of the outer legs are respectively disengaged from the bearing surfaces of the coupling rib before the most-bulged portions of the shoulder portion pass through the rear surface-side periphery of the attaching hole.

• and
• a bearing member formed in the head portion and positioned between the distal end portions of the outer legs, the bearing member having bearing surfaces positioned opposite to the distal end portions of the outer legs,
• wherein the outer legs are configured such that pressing portions formed in the distal end portions thereof are respectively pressed to the bearing surfaces of the bearing member while the shoulder portions of the outer legs engage a rear surface-side periphery of the attaching hole of the object member in an attached condition in which the clip main body connected to the coupling rib of the attachment base is inserted into and held in the attaching hole of the object member, and
