  • Patent number: 9627869
    Abstract: Provided is a block for a vehicle. The block for a vehicle includes a main housing, an upper housing, support bars, and temporary fastening portions. The main housing has a first containing space. The upper housing has a second containing space. At least part of the upper housing is inserted into the main housing. The support bars protrude upward from edges of the main housing, and are elastically deformable in a direction away from the main housing. The temporary fastening portions protrude downward from edges of the upper housing. When the temporary fastening portions are seated on the upper portions of the support bars, the upper housing is temporarily fastened to the main housing. When the support bars are elastically deformed, the temporary fastening portions exit the state of being seated on the upper portions of the support bars, and thus the temporary fastening is released.
