[0120] Referring to
[0121] The fastening element 11 comprises an operation portion 111 and a fastening portion 112.
[0122] The fastening element 11 is fastened to the body portion 12. The body portion 12 and the fastening element 11 are coupled together by a coupling portion 122.
[0123] The operating principle of the fastener structure of the present invention is described below. The body portion 12 is coupled to the first object (not shown). Then, the operation portion 111 of the fastening element 11 is manipulated in one direction, such that the fastening portion 112 is fastened to the second object (not shown). To remove the second object, the user manipulates the operation portion 111 of the fastening element 11 in another direction, such that the fastening portion 112 is removed from the second object, thereby allowing the first object and the second object to be coupled together and separated repeatedly and rapidly.
[0124] In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the body portion 12 has a mounting portion 121, and the fastening element 11 is movably coupled to the mounting portion 121 by the coupling portion 122. In this embodiment, the mounting portion 121 is a plane portion, and the fastening element 11 is mounted on an outer side or the outside of the body portion 12. Therefore, the present disclosure meets practical needs.
[0125] In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the body portion 12 has a fitting portion 123, and the fitting portion 123 is fitted to the first object by being riveted, expanded, welded, locked or fastened to the first object. The fitting portion 123 is a dented structure, raised structure, stepped structure, oblique structure, planar structure, curved structure or arcuate structure. Therefore, the fitting portion 123 of the body portion 12 is firmly coupled to the first object.
[0126] Referring to
[0127] Referring to
[0128] To start using the fastener structure, the user manipulates the body portion 12 in such a manner that the body portion 12 is coupled to the first object (not shown), and then the user presses the operation portion 111 to cause the guiding surface 113 thereof to push the corresponding guiding surface 114 of the fastening portion 112 and thus cause the fastening portion 112 to move, such that the fastening portion 112 is fastened to the second object, thereby allowing the resilient component 13 to be in a compressed state. As soon as the press stops, the resilient component 13 expands and automatically causes the fastening portion 112 to restore its initial position, such that the fastening portion 112 removes the second object, thereby allowing the first object and the second object to be coupled together and separated repeatedly and rapidly.
[0129] In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the guiding surface 113 or the corresponding guiding surface 114 is oblique, arcuate, curved or flat. Therefore, the present disclosure meets practical needs.
[0130] Referring to
[0131] To start using the fastener structure, the user makes the body portion 12 coupled to the first object (not shown) by the fitting portion 123 and then manipulates the operation portions 111 of the fastening elements 11 in opposite directions to allow each fastening element 11 to move within the floating space a, such that each fastening portion 112 is fastened to a second object (not shown). To remove the second object, the user manipulates the operation portions 111 of the fastening elements 11 in the same direction to allow each fastening element 11 to move within the floating space a, such that each fastening portion 112 removes the second object, thereby allowing the first object and the second object to be coupled together and separated repeatedly and rapidly.
[0132] Referring to
[0133] To start using the fastener structure, the user manipulates in such a manner to allow the fitting portion 123 of the body portion 12 to be coupled to the first object (not shown) and then manipulates the operation portions 111 of the fastening elements 11 in the same direction, such that each fastening element 11 moves within the floating space a. The fastener structure 1 compresses the resilient component 13 to be aligned with a second object (not shown), and then the user releases each operation portion 111 to allow the resilient component 13 to push each fastening element 11 because of resilience release, such that each fastening portion 112 is fastened to the second object. To remove the second object, the user manipulates the operation portions 111 of the fastening elements 11 in the same direction, such that each fastening element 11 moves within the floating space a and compresses the resilient component 13 to allow each fastening portion 112 to remove the second object. Then, the user releases each operation portion 111. Consequently, owing to resilience release, the resilient component 13 pushes each fastening element 11 and causes it to restore its initial position for lateral use, thereby allowing the first object and the second object to be coupled together and separated repeatedly and rapidly.
[0134] Referring to
[0135] To start using the fastener structure, the user manipulates in such a manner so as for the body portion 12 to be coupled to the first object (not shown) by the fitting portion 123. After that, the user manipulates the operation portions 111 of the fastening elements 11 in the same direction and compresses the resilient component 13 to be aligned with the second object (not shown). Then, the user releases each operation portion 111. Consequently, owing to resilience release, the resilient component 13 pushes each fastening element 11, such that each fastening portion 112 is fastened to the second object. To remove the second object, the user manipulates the operation portions 111 of the fastening elements 11 in the same direction and compresses the resilient component 13, such that each fastening portion 112 removes the second object. After that, the user releases each operation portion 111. Consequently, owing to resilience release, the resilient component 13 pushes each fastening element 11 to cause it to restore its initial position for lateral use, thereby allowing the first object and the second object to be coupled together and separated repeatedly and rapidly.
[0136] Referring to
[0137] To start using the fastener structure, the user manipulates in such a manner so as for the body portion 12 to be coupled to the first object (not shown) and then presses the operation portion 111, such that the guiding surface 113 of the operation portion 111 pushes the corresponding guiding surface 114 of the fastening portion 112 to allow the fastening portion 112 to move, thereby allowing the fastening portion 112 to be fastened to a second object (not shown). At this point in time, the resilient component 13 is in a compressed state. As soon the press is released, the resilient component 13 is released and automatically causes each fastening portion 112 to restore its initial position, such that each fastening portion 112 removes the second object, thereby allowing the first object and the second object to be coupled together and separated repeatedly and rapidly.

The fastener structure 1 is taken out of the carrier 50 with the tool 60 and then placed on the first object 10, such that the body portion 12 is welded and coupled to the first object 10. Therefore, the fitting portion 123 of the body portion 12 enables the body portion 12 to be firmly coupled to the first object 10.
[0159] In a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the fastener structure 1 is taken out of the carrier 50 with the tool 60.
