DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a perspective view, and FIG. 2 is a front view showing a use state. The clip 1 of the present invention is made of synthetic resin and is integrally formed by a molding die. The clip body 2 is formed in a substantially U shape provided with a pair of arms 4a and 4b extending substantially in parallel from the curved portion 3. An engagement recess 5 is formed on the outer periphery of the curved portion 3 at the rear end of one of the arms 4a. At the tip of the other arm 4b, a thin connecting portion 6 is integrally formed. The pressing portion 7 is rotatably connected by the connecting portion 6.

The pressing operation piece 7 includes a straight portion 9 which extends around the distal end of the arm 4 b by the bent portion 8 and extends obliquely downwardly of the curved portion 3, and a curved hook portion 10 which is continuous with the straight portion 9. Consists of Engagement hooks 11 engaged with the engagement recesses 5 are integrally formed at the tip of the curved hook portion 10. Further, a protruding piece 12 extending obliquely upward from the bent portion 8 and protruding between the arms 4a and 4b is integrally formed on the pressing operation piece 7. In the free state in which the pressing operation piece 7 is not pressed, there is a gap (G) between the tip of the protruding piece 12 and the inner surface of the arm 4a. Also, the arm 4a
A plurality of engaging recesses 13 are continuously formed in the thickness direction of the inner surface of the substrate.

The above-structured clip 1 of the present invention is used as follows. First, the annular portion 16 of the hanging string 15 of the price tag 14 is passed through the gap (G) between the arm 4a and the projecting piece 12. Then, the arm 4a and the pressing operation piece 7 are sandwiched between fingers, and the end of the clothing (C) is inserted into the gap (G), and is pushed until reaching the inner surface of the curved portion 3. In this state, when the linear portion 9 of the pressing operation piece 7 is pressed, the pressing operation piece 7 is rotated by the connecting portion 6, and the engaging hook 1 at the tip of the curved hook portion 10 is engaged.
1 moves along the outer periphery of the curved portion 3. With the movement, the curved hook portion 10 bends outward due to its elasticity, and the engaging hook 11 gets over the edge 5 a of the engaging concave portion 5 and is engaged in the engaging concave portion 5.

At this time, the straight portion 9 is in close contact with the arm 4b, and the curved hook portion 10 is in close contact with the outer periphery of the curved portion 3. On the other hand, with the rotation of the pressing operation piece 7, the protruding piece 12 rises up from a posture facing obliquely upward, and presses the clothing (C) against the inner surface of the arm 4 a. The tip of the protruding piece 12 has a plurality of engaging recesses 1 formed on the inner surface of the arm 4a.
The clothing (C) is firmly held in correspondence with any one of (3).

As described above, the clip 1 of the present invention can be attached to the garment (C) or the like only by pressing the pressing operation piece 7 and the arm 4a and the projecting piece 12 are provided.
Since the garment (C) and the like can be more firmly held by the tip of the garment, there is an advantage that the garment (C) does not easily come off.

Also, as shown in FIG. 3, the clip 1 is attached to a band-shaped woven name (F) or the like in which both ends are sewn to a collar (E) of a suit (D) or the like, and a price tag 14 or the like is attached. Can be suspended. In this case, when the engaging hook 11 is engaged in the engaging concave portion 5, the tip of the protruding piece 12 elastically engages with one of the plurality of engaging concave shapes 13. For this reason, the clip 1 may deviate from the weave name (F),
The annular portion 16 of the hanging string 15 of the price tag 14 does not come off.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show a modified embodiment of the clip 1 of the present invention. In the modification shown in FIG. 4, a hook 21 is integrally formed on the inner surface of the curved portion 3 of the clip body 2. The hook 21 is attached to the hanging string 1 of the price tag 14.
By hooking the hook 5, it is possible to prevent the annular portion 16 of the hanging string 15 from moving randomly in the arms 4 a and 4 b of the clip body 2.

In the modified example shown in FIG. 5, a substantially circular bulging portion 22 is integrally formed at the tip of the projecting piece 12.
When the clip 1 is attached to a sweater or the like knitted with thick wool or the like by forming the bulging portion 22, the tip of the protruding piece 12 is prevented from sticking into the wool and the clip 1 is pulled. In such a case, the stitch is not damaged. The hook 21
Needless to say, both the bulging portion 22 and the bulging portion 22 can be used as a pair formed on the clip body 2. Also, clip 1
Is increased, the strength is increased by increasing the thickness depending on the size.
