Abstract
An article attaching device is used for attaching, for example, a rear seat to an under panel of an automobile. The article attaching device is inserted into an attaching hole of the under panel to be fixed thereto, and then a hook fixed to the rear seat is inserted into the box portion to engage engaging portions provided on opposed inner sides of the box portion. The engaging portions opposing each other are shifted in the horizontal direction not to overlap each other. Thus, an article, i.e. hook, can be easily inserted into the article attaching device while providing a high extracting force of the article, which results in good workability.

- engaging means formed on an outer periphery of the box portion for fixing the box portion to a base member;
- and
- engaging portions provided on the opposed inner surfaces of the box portion, said engaging portions being arranged to be deviated laterally from each other along the opposed inner surfaces so that when a hook to be fixed to an article is inserted between the engaging portions through the upper opening, the engaging portions allow the hook to be displaced diagonally relative to the opposed inner surfaces and to be inserted easily between the engaging portions.
