ABSTRACT:
A clip for securing a first member to a second member includes a flange portion having an opening, an inserting portion, a pawl portion provided upon the inserting portion so as to be engageable with the flange portion and the second member, and a plurality of foldable coupling portions for connecting the inserting portion with the flange portion. The inserting portion is inserted through the first member in a first direction, then back downwardly into the opening of the flange portion and finally through the second member in a second direction, thereby securing the first member to the second member. When the inserting portion is inserted into the opening of the flange portion, the pawl portion engages the flange portion to retain the flange portion in engagement with the undersurface of the first member. When the inserting portion is further inserted through the second member, the pawl portion engages the second portion member so as to clamp the second member in cooperation with the flange portion. The coupling portions are folded as a result of the insertion of the inserting portion into the opening of the flange portion so as to clamp the first member in cooperation with the flange portion.
