Abstract:
A torsional quick-connect fastening device includes a housing, a rotatable retainer, and a torsional elastic element. The housing can be a hollow cylinder or other shape. The rotatable retainer is movably received in an inner receiving space of the housing, and has an interconnecting rod with a force-application portion and a retaining section connected to two opposite ends thereof. The torsional elastic element is a coiled torsion spring with two ends fixedly connected to the housing and the rotatable retainer, so as to bring the rotatable retainer to rotate while moving axially. When the housing is attached to a first plate and the rotatable retainer is operated to rotate and extend the retaining section through a second plate, the torsional elastic element automatically turns the retaining section to a position for firmly pressing against the second plate, so that the two plates are quickly and conveniently fastened together.
Abstract:
A wrench quick release apparatus includes a sleeve, a positioning unit, a wrench unit and an elasticity unit. The sleeve includes a channel and an engaging section for engaging to a first plate. The positioning unit inserts in the channel of the sleeve, and includes one end inserted through the first plate and an opposite end extends out from the channel of the sleeve. The wrench unit is pivotally connected to the positioning unit and extends out from one end of the sleeve. The elasticity unit includes one end pushed against the positioning unit and an opposite end pushed against the sleeve. Accordingly, the wrench quick release apparatus is first engaged to the first plate through the sleeve and then engaged to or disengaged from a second plate to achieve a steady and quick assembly effect with minimal efforts in a convenient manner.
Abstract:
A fastener structure used to arrange a second object on a first object and a method of use of the fastener structure includes an engaging portion, a direction limiting portion, and an assembly portion. The engaging portion is for engaging to a second object. The direction limiting portion is connected to the engaging portion and is for limiting a movement direction of the second object engaged with the engaging portion. The assembly portion is for assembling to the first object.
Abstract:
A structure and method for retaining fastening element solder are introduced. The structure includes a fastening element which has a solderable surface and a fastening portion or a hole portion. One end of the hole portion or the fastening portion has a retaining portion. During a soldering heating process, solder flows into or enters the retaining portion to cool down and solidify. The solidified solder is retained in the retaining portion. The fastening element is firmly coupled to a first object because of coordination between the solderable surface and the retaining portion, and the second object is coupled to or removed from the fastening element because of coordination between the fastening portion and the hole portion, so as to couple together and separate the first and second objects repeatedly and quickly.
Abstract:
A method of fitting a fastener to an object is introduced. The fastener has a weldable surface and an engaging portion or a hole portion. One end of the hole portion or one end of the engaging portion has a holding portion. During a welding heating process, solder flows into or enters the holding portion and then cools down and solidifies therein so as to be held therein. Therefore, the weldable surface and the holding portion together enable the fastener to be firmly coupled to an object. The engaging portion and the hole portion together enable an object to be coupled to or removed from another object, so as to couple together and separate at least two objects repeatedly and quickly.
Abstract:
A method of mounting a fixing assembly to a workpiece is introduced. The fixing assembly includes a fastener structure, which consists of an engaging member and a mating member connected together, and a fastening member, which includes sequentially connected head portion, assembling section and fastening section, while the assembling section is assembled to the engaging member of the fastener structure. In the method of mounting the fixing assembly to a workpiece, the engaging member of the fastener structure is first connected to the mating member, the assembling section of the fastening member is then forced through an insertion-hole section of the engaging member to be assembled thereto, and finally, a first inner retaining section of the mating member is movably connected to an outer retaining section of a locating member, which is connected to the workpiece.
Abstract:
A roller structure and method of using the same are introduced. The roller structure includes a first sleeve having a mounting portion for mounting a roller portion and a first connection portion for mounting a carried object, wherein the roller portion is disposed at the mounting portion; and a positioning element disposed at the first sleeve and the roller portion to cause the roller portion to rotate relative to the mounting portion. The roller structure can be conveniently and quickly amounted on the carried object, roller frame or circuit board such that roller structure gets standardized and modularized to serve an industrial purpose and provides rollers rotatable in all directions and suitable for use in SMT (Surface Mount Technology) processes and automated assembly operation.
Abstract:
A grooved rotatably fastening structure includes, in top-to-bottom sequence, a head, a shaft connected to the head, and a fastening portion connected to the shaft. The fastening portion has a first groove and a second groove. The first groove is concavely disposed on a lateral surface of the fastening portion and extends upward from a bottom of the fastening portion. The second groove is concavely disposed on the lateral surface of the fastening portion and extends from the first groove transversely or obliquely. The first groove and the second groove are in communication. The rotatably fastening structure enables users to connect two objects together quickly without compromising the structural strength of the two objects and is applicable to thin objects.
Abstract:
A wrench quick release apparatus includes a sleeve, a positioning unit, a wrench unit and an elasticity unit. The sleeve includes a channel and an engaging section for engaging to a first plate. The positioning unit inserts in the channel of the sleeve, and includes one end inserted through the first plate and an opposite end protrudes out from the channel of the sleeve. The wrench unit is pivotally connected to the positioning unit and protrudes out from one end of the sleeve. The elasticity unit includes one end pushed against the positioning unit and an opposite end pushed against the sleeve. Accordingly, the wrench quick release apparatus is first engaged to the first plate through the sleeve and then engaged to or disengaged from a second plate.
Abstract:
A space-saving resilient assembly element is adapted to fix a first object and a second object in place. The resilient assembly element includes an assembly element body and a conical resilient element. The assembly element body has a head, a rod connected to the head, and an assembly portion connected to the rod. The assembly portion connects with the first object. The conical resilient element is disposed around the rod. The conical resilient element has a first end and a second end. The first end abuts against the head, and the second end abuts against the second object. The conical resilient element is compressed and deformed to become tablet-shaped, curved, conical, or layer by layer. Therefore, the space occupied by the resilient assembly element is reduced.
