Publication number: 20230106963Abstract: An attachment portion facilitates attachment to an attachment object such as a vehicle. The attachment portion includes a first fastening portion, a second fastening portion to be screwed with the first fastening portion, a detent portion (a connection portion, a holder) provided between the first fastening portion and the second fastening portion, and a deformable member (a claw washer) provided between the first fastening portion and the detent portion. The detent portion suppresses that at least one of the first fastening portion and the deformable member rotate(s) when the second fastening portion rotates. After the first fastening portion and the deformable member are inserted into an attachment hole into which the attachment portion is to be inserted, of the attachment object, the deformable member sandwiches the attachment object with the second fastening portion by rotating the second fastening portion so as to be screwed with the first fastening portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2021Publication date: April 6, 2023Applicant: YOKOWO CO., LTD.Inventors: Tomio AMBE, Ryota TAMAI
