ABSTRACT:
A fixing tool includes a holding portion and fitting portion. The holding portion allows a chassis to hold a component. The fitting portion is integrally formed with the holding portion and is to be fitted in a through hole formed in the chassis, so that the holding portion is fixed to the chassis. The fitting portion has a post, a pair of fitting pieces, a pair of disengaging pieces, and a pair of leg pieces. The post projects downward from one side of the holding portion. The fitting pieces are formed at a distal end of the post to have an arrowhead-like shape, and elastically deform outwardly in diameter so as to be fitted in the through hole. The disengaging pieces extend from distal ends of the fitting pieces along two side surfaces of the holding portion, and elastically deform the fitting pieces, when operated manually, to disengage them from the through hole. The leg pieces have proximal ends connected to part of the disengaging pieces, and distal ends that can abut against an upper surface of the chassis. The disengaging pieces have extending ends which are close to or connected to the side surfaces of the holding portion.
