Abstract
The present invention provides a housing for a Minifix, wherein when a slide folding cover covers a body part, which has been inserted into a furniture panel by manipulating same through an external force, to prevent exposure thereof, the position of the slide folding cover is fixed in a tool insertion groove part by a position fixing part, thereby improving the aesthetics of the furniture panel. The provided housing for a Minifix comprises: a body part rotationally inserted into an accommodation groove unit formed in a furniture panel, and having a slide groove part formed on an edge of a circumferential surface thereof; a tool insertion groove part formed in the body part to be rotated by tool manipulation while the body part is inserted into the accommodation groove part; a slide folding cover slide-coupled to the slide groove part and folded by manipulating same through an external force, thereby covering the body part so as to prevent same from being exposed from the accommodation groove part; and a position fixing part for fixing the position of the slide folding cover in the tool insertion groove part when the slide folding cover covers the body part.
