A fixing device for rod body has a base body with a through hole formed in the center thereof, a grommet body arranged to be inserted into the through hole of the base body, and a pin body arranged to be pushed into an inner hole of the grommet body to expand the grommet body. The grommet body is interlinked with one side edge of the base body through a holder portion for holding the rod body, the pin body is interlinked with another side edge of the base body through a hinge portion, and a temporary fixing device is provided between the grommet body and the through hole of the base body. When the rod body is held by the holder portion and the grommet body is inserted into the through hole of the base body, the grommet body is temporarily fixed to the base body by the temporary fixing device. When the pin body is pushed into the inner hole of the grommet body with the grommet body being inserted in a mounting hole of an objective member, the base body is regularly fixed to the objective member by expansion of the grommet body.
A fixing device for fixing a rod body to an associated objective member having a mounting hole, said device comprising a base body with a through hole formed in the center thereof, an integral grommet body arranged to be inserted into the through hole of the base body, and an integral pin body arranged to be pushed into an inner hole of the grommet body to expand the grommet body, said grommet body being connected to one side edge of the base body through a flexible holder portion adapted for holding an associated rod body, said pin body being connected to an opposite side edge of the base body through a flexible hinge portion, and temporary fixing means being provided between said grommet body and said base body, so that the grommet body can be inserted into the through hole of the base body to hold a rod body, the grommet body being temporarily fixed to the based body by said temporary fixing means so that said grommet body can be inserted into said mounting hole of an associated objective member, and said pin body then can be pushed into the inner hole of the grommet body, to regularly fix a rod body to the base body by expansion of the grommet body, said grommet body, holder portion, base body, hinge portion and pin body being initially positioned to define a longitudinal plane of the fixing device, with said grommet body and pin body having cooperative portions extending in the same lateral direction away from said longitudinal plane.
