  • Patent number: 11312281
    Abstract: A clip for attachment of a floor carpet includes a male member having a lower flange portion, and a shaft portion projecting from the lower flange portion; and a female member having a cylindrical portion to which the shaft portion is inserted, an upper flange portion projecting around an outer periphery of the cylindrical portion, and an engaging portion at an inner periphery of the cylindrical portion. The male member also includes a hole portion penetrating through the lower flange portion and the cylindrical portion, engaging projections formed around an outer periphery of the shaft portion, and a regulation member inserted into the hole portion. In case the male member is inserted into the female member to engage the engaging projections with the engaging portion and the regulation member is inserted into the hole portion, the regulation member prevents the engaging projections from being disengaged from the engaging portion.

  • Patent number: 10857918
    Abstract: Provided is a seat-cover fitting structure capable of preventing a seat cover from accidentally separating from a seat main body. In a seat-cover fitting structure 1, a resin clip 41 that is fitted to an end member 10 attached to the lower end of a hanging cotton-cloth member of a seat cover and a metal clip 50 that is fitted to the exterior of the resin clip 41 engage each other with gaps X1, X2, and X3 formed therebetween. In a state where the metal clip 50 is stuck to, by magnetic force, a main-body-side member that is embedded in the seat main body, the resin clip 41 moves with respect to the metal clip 50 within the ranges of the gaps X1, X2, and X3.
