Abstract
A coupling member includes a body including a first section, a second section, and a third section; a first screw part disposed along a first inner portion of the body corresponding to the first section; a second screw part disposed along a second inner portion of the body corresponding to the second section; and a non-screw part disposed in a third inner portion of the body corresponding to the third section, wherein the non-screw part is connected to at least one of the first screw part and the second screw part.
Claims36
A coupling member, comprising:
- a body comprising a first section, a second section, and a third section;
- a first screw part disposed along a first inner portion of the body corresponding to the first section;
- a second screw part disposed along a second inner portion of the body corresponding to the second section;
- and
- a non-screw part disposed in a third inner portion of the body corresponding to the third section, wherein the non-screw part is connected to at least one of the first screw part and the second screw part.
A method of fixing a coupling member to an object, the coupling member including a first screw part, a second screw part, and a non-screw part disposed inside the coupling member, the method comprising:
- inserting the coupling member into a hole in the object to allow the non-screw part to face at least one of the first and second screw parts such that the object is disposed between the non-screw part and at least one of the first and second screw parts;
- inserting a head part of a tool into the coupling member;
- applying a rotational force to the head part to couple the second screw part to the head part;
- and
- pulling the second screw part to the hole using the rotational force to bend the non-screw part.
A display device, comprising:
- a display panel for displaying an image;
- a member coupled to the display panel;
- and
- a coupling member inserted into a hole formed through the member, the coupling member comprising a coupling hole formed therethrough and coupled to a bolt, the coupling member comprising:
- a body having a hollow shape;
- a first screw part disposed along a first inner circumference of the body;
- a second screw part disposed along a second inner circumference of the body;
- a flange part coupled to an outer circumference of the body to support the member;
- and
- a bent part for gripping the member in cooperation with the flange part such that the member is disposed between the bent part and the flange part.
A coupling member, comprising:
- a hollow body;
- a first section of the hollow body including screw threads;
- a second section of the hollow body including screw threads;
- a third section of the hollow body not including screw threads,
- wherein the first, second and third sections are arranged in a longitudinal direction of the hollow body,
- wherein the third section has a first length in the longitudinal direction when the coupling member is in a first state and the third section has a second length in the longitudinal direction when the coupling member is in a second state, and
- wherein the first length is greater than the second length.
A coupling member, comprising:
- a body comprising a first section and a second section;
- a screw part disposed in the body in the first section;
- a non-screw part disposed in the body in the second section;
- a cover part disposed in the body, coupled to the body, and disposed between the non-screw part and the screw part;
- and
- a flange part coupled to an outer circumference of the body.
