ABSTRACT:
A clip for fixing an elastic member having a shaft portion disposed so as to be engaged within a mounting opening of the elastic member; and a fall-preventive plate section disposed integrally with the shaft portion so as to be engaged with a circumferential edge section of the mounting opening of the elastic member when the shaft portion is engaged within the mounting opening of the elastic member. The fall-preventive plate section is structured such that an inner circumference of a ring-shaped member having first and second cut end sections is integrated with an outer circumference of a top end section of the shaft portion; and the second cut end section is inclined so as to gradually rise towards the outside of the top end section of the shaft portion as the first cut end section comes closer to the second cut end section in a circumferential direction of the fall-preventive plate section and a top end surface of the first cut end section is deviated towards the outside of a top end section of the shaft portion from a top end surface of the second cut end section.
