The fitting pieces 13 are fitted to the engagement grooves 21. The engagement grooves 21 are opened ahead in the axial direction from the forward end of the tube 2, and the fitting pieces 13 are inserted into the engagement grooves 21 from the forward end of the tube 2. In addition, the inner edges of the fitting pieces 13 of the clip 1 are diametrally pressed into contact with the bottom of the engagement grooves 21, and a pair of protruding pieces 14 jutting out backward are installed at the rear end of the paired fitting pieces 13. A pair of regulatory wall parts 22 pressed into contact with the outer edges of the protruding pieces 14 are formed on the inner surface of the tube 2. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
