US 2011/0236154 A1 · Fastener Apparatus

Abstract

A fastener apparatus is provided. The fastener apparatus includes a first fastener member and a second fastener member. The first fastener member includes a base and at least one holder. The holder is secured on an upper surface of the base. The base includes at least one through hole. The through hole is configured with a dovetail-shaped cross-section. The second fastener member includes a body and at least one protrusion portion. The protrusion portion is configured at an upper surface of the body. The protrusion portion is adapted for inserting through the through hole from the bottom surface of the base to the upper surface of the base, and then extending beyond the upper surface of the base. The protrusion portion is adapted for being deformed for checking in the dovetail-shaped through hole, thus fixing the first fastener member and the second fastener member together.
