Clip with engaging mechanism

A clip comprising:

• a female member including a plurality of elastic pieces arranged to form a hollow portion therein, said elastic pieces elastically deformable in radial directions and being formed of a cylindrical member, and a plurality of first slits formed in the cylindrical member and extending along an axial direction thereof from a front end of the cylindrical member to partially divide the same to thereby define the elastic pieces;
• engaging portions disposed in the elastic pieces, each of the engaging portions being formed of a second slit formed in each of the elastic pieces extending along the axial direction;
• and a collar plate disposed at rear ends of the elastic pieces, said collar plate having a hole communicating with the hollow portion defined by the elastic pieces, and
• a male member including a head to abut against the collar plate;
• a leg extending from the head to be inserted into the hollow portion to expand the elastic pieces;
• and lock portions disposed in the leg, each of said lock portions being formed of a rib projecting radially outwardly from the leg and extending along an axial direction of the leg to engage the second slit so that the elastic pieces are prevented from being deviated when a deviating force is applied thereto.
