Title:
FASTENER, FASTENING STRUCTURE, AND VEHICLE INTERIOR ACCESSORY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/057762
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The objective of the present invention is to prevent a force required to release engagement between a fastener and an object to be fastened by rotating the fastener from becoming too large, even if a force required to withdraw the fastener from the object to be fastened is set to be a large force. In this fastener, the introduction of a body portion into an accepting portion formed in the object to be fastened is permitted by means of elastic deformation of resilient arm portions, which form a portion of the body portion, toward a center of the body portion, and elastic recovery of the resilient arm portions at a completion position of said introduction causes portions of the resilient arm portions to enter engagement holes formed in a side wall of the accepting portion, thereby fastening the fastener to the object to be fastened. The resilient arm portions are formed along a direction encircling a central axis of the body portion, and are each configured by forming an engaging projection portion that engages with the engagement hole between a base portion and a free end of the resilient arm portion.
