  • Patent number: 10292460
    Abstract: The inventive fastener member, fastener structure, and support member can reduce rattling and noise without reducing the ease of assembly. The fastener member 10 includes guided portions 12A, 12B that are guided in the mounting direction D1 by guide portions 22A, 22B. Elastically deforming portions 30A, 30B formed on the guided portions 12A, 12B can elastically deform in a direction that intersects with the mounting direction D 1. When the fastener member 10 is mounted, the elastically deforming portions 30A, 30B deform elastically, so it can be easily assembled without interference between the guide portions 22A, 22B and the guided portions 12A, 12B. After it is mounted, the fastener member 10 is supported without play by the guide portions 22A, 22B of the support member 20 due to the elastic force generated between the elastically deforming portions 30A, 30B and the receiving portions 40A, 40B.

  • Patent number: 9790973
    Abstract: A fastener member (10) including: a base portion (11) having a surface (15); and a plurality of locking members (12) vertically provided on the surface, the locking members locking with a subject to be coupled so as to mechanically couple to the subject to be coupled; wherein the locking member includes a shaft portion (20), projecting from the base portion, having a pair of side faces (22A, 22B) that are opposite each other in a first direction (x) and, as viewed from the surface, diverge in a second direction (y) orthogonal to the first direction, and a barbed portion (21) provided on each of the pair of side faces; and, as viewed from the surface, the barbed portion provided on at least one of the side faces of the pair of side faces extends in a direction intersecting the first direction and the second direction.

  • Patent number: 9750312
    Abstract: A fastener member 10 is provided with a base portion 11 having a main surface 15, and a plurality of engaging members 12 provided upright on the main surface 15, in which mechanical coupling with a loop member 30 is achieved by causing the engaging members 12 to engage the loop member 30. The fastener member 10 is provided with an arm portion 13 disposed on the base portion 11 via a base connection portion 13a such that a tip side can pivot in a direction so as to approach the main surface 15, a claw portion 18 that is provided to the arm portion 13, and a hook-shaped protruding portion 14 provided to the base portion 11. The claw portion 18 and the hook-shaped protruding portion 14 latch onto one another when the fastener member 10 and the loop member 30 are coupled. The tip side of the arm portion 13 is positioned to a position opposite the main surface 15 away from the tips of the engaging portions 12 when the fastener member 10 and the loop member 30 are not coupled.
