Rectangular hole snap-in fastener |
摘要 |
A snap-in fastener secures two sheets together by snap fit. Extensions of the fastener body include a clinch feature that provides a permanent attachment to a first sheet of metal. Integral snap arms which extend beyond the opposite side of the first sheet provide a reusable means to attach to an appropriately sized hole in a second sheet thus uniting the two sheets. The sheets include rectangularly-shaped holes positioned in alignment through which the snap arms of the fastener pass to achieve attachment. A locking mechanism may be employed to hold the snap arms in their engaged position to prevent pull-out of the second panel. In addition, finger grips integral with the body of the fastener provide an ergonomically suitable handle for carrying the attached sheet.
