Abstract
An elastic press-lock structure has a ring-shaped member and a connection assembly. The ring-shaped member is defined an elongated hole. The connection assembly is passed through the elongated hole of the ring-shaped member and detachably connected with the ring-shaped member. The connection assembly is pressed with a pressing force to deflect toward a first direction with an axle which is a predetermined position of the elongated hole so that the connection assembly is limited by the ring-shaped member which is deformed and the then the connection assembly is reset toward a second direction opposite to the first direction by a restoring force generated by the connection assembly while the pressing force is released.
Claims9
An elastic press-lock structure, at least comprising:
- a ring-shaped member, defining an elongated hole;
- and
- a connection assembly, passed through the elongated hole of the ring-shaped member and detachably connected with the ring-shaped member, the connection assembly at least includes an N-shaped member, an L-shaped member, and a fork member, the fork member has a body portion, a first fork portion, and a second fork portion, the first fork portion and the second fork portion are extended from one end of the body portion axially and outwardly, the first fork portion and the second fork portion are spaced apart from each other, the N-shaped member has a first connection portion, a middle portion, and a first extending portion, the L-shaped member has a second connection portion and a second extending portion, the first connection portion of the N-shaped member is extended from the first fork portion axially and outwardly, the second connection portion of the L-shaped member is extended from the second fork portion axially and outwardly, a length of the first connection portion is longer than a length of the second connection portion, the second extending portion of the L-shaped member is extended radially along the first connection portion, the middle portion of the N-shaped member is extended radially toward the second connection portion, the first extending portion of the N-shaped member is extended from one end of the middle portion opposite to the first connection portion toward an axial direction of the second connection portion and a direction away from the second connection portion, one side of the second extending portion adjacent to the second fork portion is abutted against one axial side of the elongated hole of the ring-shape member, and one side of the middle portion distant from the first fork portion is abutted against the other axial side of the elongated hole of the ring-shaped member;
- wherein when the connection assembly is disassembled from the ring-shaped member, the second fork portion is forced outwardly firstly since the first fork portion and the second fork portion are spaced apart from each other so as to make the L-shaped member leave from the elongated hole of the ring-shaped member and one end with a convex circle arc surface of the second extending portion of the L-shaped member makes the L-shaped member leave from the elongated hole of the ring-shaped member, the first extending portion of the N-shaped member is passed through the elongated hole of the ring-shaped member to finish the operation of leaving the connection member from the ring-shaped member;
- and
- wherein when the connection assembly is assembled to the ring-shaped member, the first extending portion of the N-shaped member is passed through the elongated hole of the ring-shaped member first and then the first extending portion of the N-shaped member is abutted against one side of the ring-shaped member for limitation to force the second fork portion outwardly, at the same time, the end with the convex circle arc surface of the second extending portion of the L-shaped member is slid through one side of the ring-shaped member to pass through the elongated hole, the middle portion of the N-shaped member is abutted against one end of the elongated hole, the first extending portion of the N-shaped member is abutted against the side of the ring-shaped member, and the second extending portion of the L-shaped member is abutted against the other side of the elongated hole so that the connection assembly is assembled to the ring-shaped member.
