Fastener module

Abstract

A fastener module functions to couple a rack to a post. The fastener module includes at least an L-shaped pawl piece and at least one G-shaped hook piece. The L-shaped pawl piece includes a body and an extension. The G-shaped hook piece has an opening and a recess. The recess receives at least a portion of the body. The L-shaped pawl piece and the G-shaped hook piece are connected to each other in a mutually perpendicular manner in the space.

Description

(a) TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally relates to a fastener module, and particularly to a fastener module for coupling a rack and a post.(b) DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]Flower vessel carrying racks or frames are commonly set in ceremonies, such as weddings and funerals, and festivals for carrying and supporting arrangements of cut flowers or potted flowers for decoration and atmosphere enhancement.[0003]Conventionally, to simplify the disassembling and assembling of a flower vessel carrying frame, the frame is often divided into several parts, such as racks, posts, and fasteners for facilitating transportation and subsequent re-assembling. However, for assembling of flower vessel carrying frames and posts, to ensure structural stability, fastening is often realized with bolts / screws. The number of fasteners is large and the assembling operation is quite time consuming. In addition, the relative angular positions and directions between the ra...

Benefits of technology

[0005]In view of the above discussed, an objective of the present invention is to provide a fastener module that ensures fixed connection between a rack and a post without affecting the connection strength and that facilitates assembling / disassembling.

[0007]With such an arrangement, the fastener module of the present invention allows a rack to be perpendicularly coupled to the L-shaped pawl piece mounted on a post by using the G-shaped hook piece. Thus, to remove the rack from the post, the opening of the G-shaped hook piece is moved to the L-shaped pawl piece to allow separation between the rack and the L-shaped pawl piece. On the other hand, to assemble the rack to the post, the L-shaped pawl piece is moved through the opening of the G-shaped hook piece into the recess and the rack can be stably assembled to the L-shaped pawl piece by the gravity of the rack. As such, with a simple operation, the present invention allows the rack and post to be connected together through an assembling process. Compared to the known techniques, the fastener module of the present invention uses the complementary structures of the recess of the G-shaped hook piece and the L-shaped pawl piece of the post and the fixing realized through perpendicular connection therebetween to ensure the predetermined direction and angle in assembling the rack, whereby a neat and good-looking connection can be provided. In addition, since both the L-shaped pawl piece and the G-shaped hook piece are of a flat structure, when the L-shaped pawl piece and the G-shaped hook piece are connected in a mutually perpendicular manner, the intersected flat structures enhance the overall structural stability.

Problems solved by technology

The number of fasteners is large and the assembling operation is quite time consuming.

In addition, the relative angular positions and directions between the racks and the posts cannot be easily and precisely controlled, leading to bending and deformation of the assembled frame.

Such poor frame assembling is apparently adverse to the overall decoration of the ceremony places and deteriorates the overall quality and look of the flower frame.
