Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/015857
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To provide a member-coupling structure that can be applied to assembled furniture or the like, and that can easily be assembled. [Solution] A joint member (10) inserted into an assembly structure (51) is inserted through an opening of an engaging member (20) inserted into an assembly structure (52), and the joint member (10) is pushed against the engaging member (20) until the flat surfaces of the assembly structures (51), (52) come together. An elastically deformable hook part formed in the inner surface of the engaging member (20) and a joint-member-engaging part formed in the outer surface of the joint member (10) are thereby engaged together and the hook part elastically deforms and spreads, whereby the joint member (10) and the engaging member (20) can smoothly be coupled together with one touch. Therefore, an operation of strong force is not needed for an assembly operation, and assembly can be performed easily without using an assembly implement such as a screwdriver, even within a household.
