<p>A pin-retained clip having a pin holder and a pin with a peripheral groove near its forward end. The pin holder is formed by bending a single oblong bendable sheet-like spring material at the center in its longitudinal direction. When bent, the material has, in a side view, a triangular shape having the top and a pair of inclined sections on both sides of the top. At the top is formed a pin retaining hole for inserting the pin. Also, a pair of holding members is projected from peripheral edge sections in the longitudinal direction of the pin retaining hole. The pair of holding members is projected in the same direction as the inclined sections and has a length that engages into the peripheral groove of the pin inserted in the pin retaining hole. In the clip, inserting the pin requires small force but drawing out the pin requires large force, and the clip can be released from a retained state by simple operation.</p> |
