Abstract: A hinge device includes a base member, a lid member connected to the base member via a hinge structure having a hinge pin and a bearing hole loosely receiving the hinge pin. The base member is provided with a first abutting portion adjacent to the hinge structure, and the lid member is provided with a second abutting portion adjacent to the hinge structure so that the lid member can rotate relative to the base member from an open position to a closed position, the first abutting portion and the second abutting portion being configured to abut each other in a direction orthogonal to an axial line of a hinge axis of the hinge structure when an angle formed by the first member and the second member is within a first angular range preceding the closed position.

Abstract: A skin locking clip that is firmly supported by a pad is provided. The skin locking clip (10) is disposed in a groove (8) of a pad (5) of a vehicle seat or the like, and fixes a locked portion (6c) attached to a skin material. The skin locking clip (10) includes a base plate (11), a locking piece (12) erected on the base plate (11) to lock the locked portion (6c), and an overhanging piece (13) erected on the base plate. Since the overhanging piece (13) is supported by the pad (5), the skin locking clip (10) is firmly supported by the pad (5).

Abstract: In a clip for engagement of an outer layer, the outer layer covering a foam member in a state held by the foam member being caught to a foam member side by engagement of an engaged portion provided at a rear side of the outer layer, the clip includes a base configured to be held by the foam member, a pair of projection walls erected on the base and facing each other, engagement portions extending from the projection walls in a width direction of the projection walls, and arranged to be swingable substantially parallel to the base or horizontally, wherein the engaged portion is configured to be sandwiched between the engagement portions to elastically engage. Accordingly, since the engagement portion bends horizontally relative the base, the overall height can be made low.
