Abstract: A clamp includes a clamp main body, a flexible member, a pipe holding portion, a pipe insertion path, and a pair of opposite pieces. At least one opposite piece of the pair of opposite pieces, is pressed by an outer circumference of a pipe inserted into the pipe insertion path, and is bendable in a direction in which the pipe insertion path is expandable. One opposite piece extends up to a position adjacent to the pipe holding portion. An extending end portion of one opposite piece protrudes toward an inside of the pipe insertion path from one portion of the flexible member adjacent to the end portion.

Abstract: A push rivet used to secure members to be mounted includes a rivet body and a pin. Rivet body includes at least a flange portion provided with an insertion hole; a pair of first divided leg portions projecting from the flange portion to an end side; at least a pair of second divided leg portions projecting from the flange portion to an end side to form slits between the pair of second divided leg portions and the pair of first divided leg portions; and bulging portions respectively projecting from end parts of the first divided leg portions and the second divided leg portions to an inner side, the bulging portions having tapered surfaces inclined to project inwardly to the end side.

Abstract: A universal joint component is used for connecting two members, such as a reflector and a lamp body. The universal joint component includes a shaft, an installation section formed on one end of the shaft, and a spherical head formed on the other end of the shaft. The spherical head includes a joint base, a top end, and at least one gap formed on a side of the spherical head between the top end and the joining base. The gap is formed of a groove or through hole so as to straddle a phantom line substantially passing through a center of the spherical head and perpendicularly intersecting a shaft axis of the shaft. Split head sections are defined by the at least one gap so that the split head sections flexibly deform when the spherical head is inserted into a spherical socket.

Abstract: A holding device made of resin is integrally provided with an attaching portion having a plurality of elastic engaging pieces on an inner surface of an insertion hole, and at least one holding portion disposed on one side or both sides of the attaching portion for holding an article. A stud with a circumferential groove protrudes from a panel. The stud is inserted into the insertion hole while the engaging pieces deform elastically and engage the circumferential groove of the stud. The engaging pieces are oppositely formed on the internal surface of the insertion hole at front and rear sides shifted by 90 degrees from the sides adjacent to the holding portions. The engaging pieces are arranged in more than two levels in an axial direction of the insertion hole.

Abstract: A buckle includes a female member having a main body provided at opposite ends with sockets, a belt retainer adapted for fastening one end of a belt thereto and provided on one side of the main body so as to extend between the sockets, an engaging member having engaging claws facing the sockets and projecting toward the belt retainer and elastic pieces which urge the engaging member toward the belt retainer, and a window for allowing a portion of the engaging member to project downward; and a pair of male members adapted for fastening one end of a pair of belts and insertable into the sockets of the main body to be retained thereby, each male member having an insert formed with an engaging claw which projects toward the inner wall of the main body on the side thereof opposite from the belt retainer and engages with the associated engaging claw of the engaging member when the male member is inserted into the associated socket, the engagement between the engaging claws of the female member and the engaging claw
