Abstract
A method of fitting a fastener to an object is introduced. The fastener has a weldable surface and an engaging portion or a hole portion. One end of the hole portion or one end of the engaging portion has a holding portion. During a welding heating process, solder flows into or enters the holding portion and then cools down and solidifies therein so as to be held therein. Therefore, the weldable surface and the holding portion together enable the fastener to be firmly coupled to an object. The engaging portion and the hole portion together enable an object to be coupled to or removed from another object, so as to couple together and separate at least two objects repeatedly and quickly.
Claims6
A method of fitting a fastener to an object, the fastener having a solderable surface and an engaging portion or a hole portion, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a tool for gripping the fastener;
- moving the fastener to a fitting position of the object with the tool;
- and
- causing the tool to press the fastener downward against the object and then release or loosen its grip on the fastener, thereby positioning the fastener at the fitting position of the object;
- wherein an end of the hole portion or an end of the engaging portion has a holding portion, such that liquid-state solder flows into or enters the holding portion during a solder heating process, thereby allowing the liquid-state solder in the holding portion to cool and solidify;
- and
- wherein the fastener is adapted to be soldered to a first object, and the first object has a corresponding solderable surface, wherein solder between the solderable surface and the corresponding solderable surface turns into liquid state when heated up, such that the liquid-state solder flows into the holding portion, thereby allowing the liquid-state solder in the holding portion to cool and solidify, a solder layer, intended to be heated and then cooled to solidify, is disposed between the solderable surface of the fastener and the corresponding solderable surface of the first object.

- and
- wherein the holding portion, where the liquid-state solder flows into, solidifies and thus is held, prevents the solder which turns into liquid state when heated up from flowing into the hole portion or the engaging portion and then cooling and solidifying, such that the solidified solder will not fall off, because interference or impacts are prevented from happening when a second object engages with or enters the hole portion or the engaging portion.
