  • Publication number: 20150369273
    Abstract: A part-fastening structure having a nut unrotatably inserted into a nut housing portion provided to a resin-made part from a side. The part is fastened to a base by screwing a bolt inserted through the base, into the nut. The nut integrally includes a nut main portion having a screw hole in its center portion and unrotatably inserted into the housing portion, and an extending arm portion extending laterally from an outer periphery of the main portion. A through-hole for penetration of the arm portion is provided to a sidewall opposite an insertion opening, through which the main portion is inserted. A rotation preventing portion is integrally provided to the part and prevents rotation of the nut by abutting against at least a tip end portion of the arm portion. Accordingly, load the part receives due to fastening rotational torque of the bolt is minimized.
