Fastener for packaging

摘要

A fastener (1) for packaging binds or connects first and second overlapping plate bodies (53,55) having through holes (56) aligned with each other. The fastener (1) comprises a base body (2), first and second flange portions (5,7) extending approximately horizontally from the upper and lower edges of the outer surface of the base body (2) and clamping the first and second plate bodies (53,55) when the base body (2) is fully inserted into both through holes (56), a movable hook member (4) having an approximately L shape, hinged to a portion (3) in the vicinity of a lower edge of the base body apart from the second flange portion (7), the movable hook member (4) being rotatable from an insertion position, where a horizontal portion (4b) of the L shape is moved away from a corresponding side surface of the base body (2) and directed downwardly, to a mounted position where a vertical portion (4a) of the L shape is brought into contact with the side surface and the horizontal portion (4b) is brought into contact with a rear surface of the second plate body (55) in the same manner as the second flange portion (7), and lock means (12) for holding the movable hook member (4) in the mounted position.
