A connection device is provided for use in connecting a first member to a second member. The connection device includes a first member connection portion, and a second member connection portion integrally formed with the first member connection portion. The first member connection portion includes a base portion connected to the second member connection portion, and first and second arm portions extending in a direction away from the base portion and the second member connection portion. The first and second arm portions are curved outwardly from one another so as to define therebetween a first member receiving hole, and the first and second arm portions have first and second tip portions, respectively, at distal ends thereof, and a first member insertion slit is defined between the tip end portions and extends outwardly from the first member receiving hole. Further, the first and second arms are curvilinearly bent so as to be respectively non-planar, and the first member insertion slit is of a width substantially equal to a diameter of the first member receiving hole. With this arrangement, the first member connection portion functions to receive a shaft portion of a first member by allowing the shaft portion to pass through the first member insertion slit, and to subsequently, upon deformation of the first member connection portion into a substantially planar shape, trap the shaft portion in the first member receiving hole in such a manner that the shaft portion cannot pass out of the first member receiving hole through the first member insertion slit.
