Patent number: 9180804Abstract: Slits (36) are formed on a wall part (28) of a clip (16), and a locking piece (34) is made elastically deformable. Only the locking piece (34) is elastically deformed outward when a suspender (22) is locked in the locking piece (34). The locking piece (34) is restored when an upper face (22A) of the suspender (22) passes a top part of a locking claw (38) of the locking piece (34). The suspender (22) is thus prevented from coming out, and the suspender (22) is locked in the clip (16).Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2010Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: NIFCO INC.Inventor: Ryuji Tsunoda

Patent number: 8827108Abstract: When a lid body (36) is opened, a side wall member (22) projects from an upper end face of a circumferential wall of a main body (12), and outside a cup portion (20), a wall portion (24) of the side wall member (22) rises. Specifically, a height of the wall portion (24) capable of supporting a side portion of a container (16) rises. Therefore, for a portion wherein the side wall member (22) rises, a depth of a supporting portion capable of supporting the container (16) is deepened.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2010Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Nifco Inc.Inventor: Ryuji Tsunoda
