ABSTRACT:
A clip mounted with a mounting plate having opposite walls defining a mounting groove having an opened leading end, the clip is disclosed which has a clip body made of an elastic metal plate, having a V-shape portion with substantially V-shape cross section formed by folding back so as to have two opposite inclined plate portions, the inclined plate potions having opposite slits, respectively, the opposite walls of the mounting plate inserted into the slits, respectively, when the clip body is inserted into the mounting groove from the leading end of the clip body, so that the opposite walls of the mounting groove are inserted into the slits, the mounting plate is engaged with the slits, and a slit start portion adjacent to the leading end of the V-shape potion is elastically supported by the opposite walls of the mounting plate with an elastic force of the opposite inclined plate portions; and a base having a clip-body holding portion for holding the clip body, a harness securing portion which is made of resin and to which a wire harness is secured in a state being out of contact with the clip body, an inclination restraining portion provided in the V-shape portion of the clip body and arranged to be inserted into the mounting groove inserted into the slit to be brought into contact with the inner surface of the mounting groove so as to restrain inclination of the clip holding portion, and a mounting-plate guide for guiding the slits of the clip body pushed into the mounting groove. Therefore, the wire harness can be protected from being damaged and a strong state of mounting can be realized, and incomplete mounting can reliably be prevented with a simple mounting operation. Even if the clip is mounted on the mounting plate portion in a state the mounting plate portion is considerably deviated from the slits, the leading end of the mounting plate portion is guided to the slits by the mounting plate guide portion. As a result, the slit start portion can reliably elastically be supported by the mounting plate portion.
