Clip

A clip, comprising:

• an anchor portion having a plurality of flexible strips and at least one support strip,
• wherein each of the flexible strips is integrally connected to the at least one support ship only via a connecting portion corresponding to a distal end portion of the anchor portion and a connecting portion corresponding to a proximal end portion of the anchor portion,
• wherein when the anchor portion is pushed into an insertion hole formed in a subject member, the anchor portion is inserted into the insertion hole while each of the flexible strips are flexed toward a longitudinal axis of the anchor portion, so that a shouldered portion of each of the flexible strips can engage a periphery of the insertion hole,
• wherein each of the flexible strips is formed such that the difference between a junction area of the anchor distal end side connecting portion and a junction area of the anchor proximal end side connecting portion is 0-15% such that the anchor distal end side connecting portion and the anchor proximal end side connecting portion can be substantially uniformly flexed, and
• wherein a most-bulged portion of each of the flexible strips has an outer surface parallel to the longitudinal axis of the anchor portion.
