Abstract

A fastener structure and an assembling method thereof are introduced. The fastener structure includes a head portion and a body portion. The body portion is movably connected to the head portion and includes a connecting section for assembling to an intermediate member. The intermediate member includes a material retaining section and can be further connected to an object. Partial material of the object would move or flow into the material retaining section when the intermediate member is forcefully pressed against the object, so that the intermediate member and the object are connected together. Since the body portion can be assembled to the intermediate member and the intermediate member can be further connected to an object, and the fastener structure can be fastened to and released from a target object, at least two objects can be repeatedly and quickly connected to and disconnect from one another using the fastener structure.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A fastener structure, comprising:
 a head portion; and   a body portion being movably connected to the head portion and including a connecting section for assembling to an intermediate member; the intermediate member including a retaining section and being adapted to be further connected to an object; and the retaining section being connected to the object through expansion connection when the retaining section is deformed under an external force applied thereto.   
     
     
         2 . A fastener structure, comprising:
 a body portion for movably connected to a head portion; the body portion including a connecting section for assembling to an intermediate member; the intermediate member including a retaining section and being adapted to be further connected to an object; and the retaining section being connected to the object through expansion connection when the retaining section is deformed under an external force applied thereto.   
     
     
         3 . The fastener structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the connecting section has a material filling recess; and the connecting section being pressed against the intermediate member, so that partial material of the intermediate member is caused to move or flow into the material filling recess, which makes the body portion to be connected to the intermediate member. 
     
     
         4 . The fastener structure according to  claim 2 , wherein the connecting section has a material filling recess; and the connecting section being pressed against the intermediate member, so that partial material of the intermediate member is caused to move or flow into the material filling recess, which makes the body portion to be connected to the intermediate member. 
     
     
         5 . The fastener structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the head portion includes a mating stop section and the body portion includes a stop section; and the mating stop section and the stop section being pressed against each other when the head portion and the body portion are movably connected together, so that the head portion and the body portion do not separate from each other. 
     
     
         6 . The fastener structure according to  claim 5 , wherein the head portion includes a fastening section. 
     
     
         7 . The fastener structure according to  claim 5 , wherein the head portion has a width larger than that of the body portion, the intermediate member has a width larger than that of the head portion, and the object includes an assembling hole dimensionally larger than the head portion but smaller than the intermediate member. 
     
     
         8 . The fastener structure according to  claim 1 , wherein the intermediate member and the object are respectively made of a metal material; and the intermediate member having a hardness that can be higher or lower than that of the object. 
     
     
         9 . The fastener structure according to  claim 2 , wherein the intermediate member and the object are respectively made of a metal material; and the intermediate member having a hardness that can be higher or lower than that of the object. 
     
     
         10 . A fastener structure assembling method for assembling the fastener structure according to  claim 1 , comprising the following steps: assembling a connecting section of the fastener structure to an intermediate member; and connecting a retaining section of the intermediate member to an object by applying an external force on the retaining section, so that the retaining section is deformed and connected to the object through expansion connection. 
     
     
         11 . A fastener structure assembling method for assembling the fastener structure according to  claim 2 , comprising the following steps: assembling a connecting section of the fastener structure to an intermediate member; and connecting a retaining section of the intermediate member to an object by applying an external force on the retaining section, so that the retaining section is deformed and connected to the object through expansion connection.
