Abstract
A coupling structure includes: a rod-shaped rod attached to a first end of an accessory; and a receiving portion attached to a second end of the accessory and an insertion hole portion, which receives the rod, and an accommodating portion. The receiving portion includes: a cylindrical slider into which at least a tip end portion of the rod is inserted and which is slidable and rotatable in the insertion hole and the accommodating portion; a guide groove configured to restrict the movement of the slider to switch the position of the slider to a first position or a second position; and a locking pin that inhibits the movement of the rod in the receiving portion in a pull-out direction when the slider is located at the first position and that allows the rod to move when the slider is located at the second position.
Claims9
An accessory coupling structure comprising:
- a rod-shaped inserting portion attached to a first end of an accessory;
- and
- a receiving portion attached to a second end of the accessory and including an insertion hole that receives the inserting portion, wherein
- the receiving portion includes:
- a cylindrical slider into which at least a tip end portion of the inserting portion is inserted and which is slidable and rotatable in the insertion hole;
- a guide unit configured to restrict a movement of the slider in the insertion hole such that the slider is rotated relative to the insertion hole in response to insertion of the inserting portion, and a position of the slider is therefore switched to a first position or a second position;
- and
- a coupling unit configured to,
- when the slider is located at the first position, inhibit a movement of the inserting portion in the receiving portion in a pull-out direction, and
- when the slider is located at the second position, allow the inserting portion to move in an insertion direction and the pull-out direction in the receiving portion.
