The fastener structure includes a rod body and at least two inclination adjustment units. The rod body has a thread portion. The at least two inclination adjustment units are offset from each other and are formed on different surface portions of the rod body that are at different heights of the rod body respectively, such that the thread portion is left with an exposed surface portion. The at least two inclination adjustment units allow the rod body to be locked slantingly in the to-be-locked object, with the exposed surface portion of the thread portion in close contact with the thread of the threaded hole of the to-be-locked object to enable effective and stable electrical conduction. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A fastener structure configured to be locked slantingly so as to provide effective and stable electrical conduction, for use to lock a to-be-locked object in place, the fastener structure comprising: a rod body having a slender shaft portion and a thread portion formed on a surface of the shaft portion, the rod body further having an inserting end portion and a terminal portion; and at least two inclination adjustment units formed on the rod body at different heights thereof respectively, the at least two inclination adjustment units being offset from each other and partially covering a surface of the thread portion such that the thread portion is left with an exposed surface portion; wherein the at least two inclination adjustment units allow the rod body to be locked slantingly in the to-be-locked object such that metal-to-metal contact is established between the exposed surface portion and the to-be-locked object. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The fastener structure configured to be locked slantingly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least two inclination adjustment units are a first inclination adjustment unit of a first thickness and a second inclination adjustment unit of a second thickness. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The fastener structure configured to be locked slantingly as claimed in claim 2, wherein the first inclination adjustment unit is adjacent to the inserting end portion, the second inclination adjustment unit is adjacent to the terminal portion, and the first thickness of the first inclination adjustment unit is less than or equal to the second thickness of the second inclination adjustment unit. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The fastener structure configured to be locked slantingly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least two inclination adjustment units are a first inclination adjustment unit having a first coverage area and a second inclination adjustment unit having a second coverage area. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The fastener structure configured to be locked slantingly as claimed in claim 4, wherein the first inclination adjustment unit is adjacent to the inserting end portion, the second inclination adjustment unit is adjacent to the terminal portion, and the first coverage area of the first inclination adjustment unit is less than or equal to the second coverage area of the second inclination adjustment unit. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The fastener structure configured to be locked slantingly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the terminal portion further has a polygonal recess. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The fastener structure configured to be locked slantingly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the terminal portion is further extended with a head portion. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The fastener structure configured to be locked slantingly as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one of the at least two inclination adjustment units is a thermoplastic plastic element. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The fastener structure configured to be locked slantingly as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one of the at least two inclination adjustment units is a thermosetting plastic element. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The fastener structure configured to be locked slantingly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least two inclination adjustment units are located symmetrically on a circumferential surface of the rod body.
