  • Patent number: 10758060
    Abstract: A cover-material fastening clip includes a locking portion having a guide piece and a hook which includes an extension portion and a distal end portion. The guide piece extends includes a bent portion bent and extended toward the distal end portion. An insertion opening having a predetermined gap and allowing a wire to be inserted therethrough is positioned between the bent portion and the distal end portion. A distal end portion of the guide piece extending from the bent portion is an elastic piece portion being elastically deformed to be spaced from the distal end portion and to widen the insertion opening. In a part of the locking portion, which is located within a range, in which the elastic piece portion can be elastically deformed and thus moved, an escape space is provided to allow a distal end of the elastic piece portion to be positioned therein.

  • Patent number: 10448743
    Abstract: A clip has an engagement portion including: a first arm with a first claw at the top end side; a second arm with a second claw at the top end side; and a bottom provided at the respective base end sides of the first arm and the second arm. Projections of the first claw and the second claw defines a left-right width of a mouth. A third claw projects into the retaining space at a position closer to the base end of the first arm, and a fourth claw is provided which projects into the retaining space at a position closer to the base end of the second arm. The third claw is narrower than the first claw in their widths along a front-back direction orthogonal to the depth direction of the retaining space extending from the mouth to the bottom and the left-right width direction of the mouth.

  • Patent number: 9827890
    Abstract: A cover fastening clip includes a locking section that locks with an end member to be locked that is provided on the edge of a cover, and a hook that engages with a wire disposed in a groove of a cushion material. The hook is provided with an extended section that extends down from the locking section and a claw-shaped section, and the locking section is provided with a guide piece. The guide piece extends down along the extended section of the hook, bends at a midway bending section, and extends toward the distal end of the claw-shaped section. A wire insertion opening that has a prescribed gap and into which the wire is inserted is formed by the distal end of the guide piece reaching a location that faces the distal end of the claw-shaped section.

  • Patent number: 9526302
    Abstract: There is provided a cover-material fastening clip for connecting a cover material and a cushion material. An engaging part engaged with the cover material. A hook is provided below the engaging part and is formed with: a claw-shaped part engaged with a wire provided in a groove of the cushion material; and a jig receiving part engaged with a jig for separating the hook from the wire. A position at which the jig receiving part is engaged with the jig is located at a side opposite to the engaging part relative to a position at which the hook is engaged with the wire. When the jig is engaged with the jig receiving part and is pulled up, the clip is rotated about the wire and the wire is separated from the claw-shaped part, so that the connection between the cover material and the cushion material is released.
