In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the holding clip for a single wire according to the present invention is constructed as follows. That is, it is provided with a receiving portion and a lid portion for clamping the outer periphery of the single wire, one end portion of each of the receiving portion and the lid portion is coupled by a hinge portion, and the other end portion of each is clamped to the single wire. A retaining clip for a single wire, which is sometimes configured to be engageable with each other by locking claws, and ribs for preventing deviation are respectively formed on inner surfaces of the receiving portion and the lid portion and inner surfaces of the hinge portion. In addition, the ribs of the hinge portion are separated from the ribs of the receiving portion and the lid portion, and are substantially continuous while being in contact with the ribs of the receiving portion and the lid portion when the single wire is clamped. Is set to be

[0006]

According to this structure, since the rib of the hinge portion is separated from the ribs of the receiving portion and the lid portion, the bending resistance of the hinge portion is not increased when the single wire is clamped. Absent. Further, at the time of clamping, the ribs of the hinge portion come into contact with the ribs of the receiving portion and the lid portion to be in a substantially continuous state, so that a sufficient contact margin of the rib with respect to the outer periphery of the single wire is ensured. The shift prevention effect is enhanced.
