Clip

A clip (100) composed of a wire having resiliency, comprising:

• first and second bend sections (110, 120) which are located at one side in the longitudinal direction, are formed of a wire material and are bent to be almost U-shaped;
• first and second rectilinear sections (130, 140) formed so that the wire material extends almost rectilinearly with a spacing from both ends of the first bend section (110) toward the other side in the longitudinal direction;
• third and fourth rectilinear sections (150, 160) formed so that the wire material almost rectilinearly extends with a spacing from both ends of the second bend section (120) toward the other side in the longitudinal direction;
• and a connection section (170) that connects the first rectilinear section (130) and the fourth rectilinear section (160) together at the other side in the longitudinal direction and extends so as to cross over the spacing between the first rectilinear section (130) and the fourth rectilinear section (160);
• wherein the first rectilinear section (130) is extended and held in contact with the third rectilinear section (150) from the first bend section (110) to the connection section (170), and the fourth rectilinear section (160) is extended and held in contact with the second rectilinear section (140) from the second bend section (120) to the connection section (170), the second rectilinear section (140) and the third rectilinear section (150) have wire end edges (141 and 151) at the other end side in the longitudinal direction thereof, the end edges (141, 151) of the second rectilinear section (140) and the third rectilinear section (150) are positioned within a region surrounded by the first rectilinear section (130), the fourth rectilinear section (160) and the connection section (170) by the first bend section (110) or the first rectilinear section (130) extending on or crossing the second bend section (120) or the third rectilinear section (150), the first bend section (110) is located almost at the same position as that of the second bend section (120) in the longitudinal direction or is located and held in proximity with the second bend section (120) with a spacing less than the diameter of the wire material, the first bend section (110) is located at a position upwardly apart from the second bend section (120) by the first rectilinear section (130) and the second rectilinear section (140) being bent upward, the first rectilinear section (130) and the third rectilinear section (150) are extended in parallel and held in contact with each other, and the second rectilinear section (140) and the fourth rectilinear section (160) are extended and held in contact with each other.
