Buckle Bar Fastening via Plastic Deformation

The patent changes the physical state and mechanical properties of the bar or frame material through plastic deformation. By applying cold forming or other deformation methods, the material undergoes permanent shape change that creates a secure mechanical interlock between the bar and frame, eliminating the need for complex traditional fastening methods while maintaining attachment reliability.

The patent replaces traditional mechanical fastening systems (such as screws, clips, or separate fasteners) with a direct plastic deformation mechanism. The bar or frame itself is deformed to create the fastening function, substituting a multi-component mechanical fastening system with a simpler monolithic deformation-based attachment method that improves production efficiency.

The patent merges the bar and frame into a more integrated structure through plastic deformation. The deformation process creates a unified attachment where the bar and frame become mechanically interlocked as a single functional unit, eliminating the need for separate fastening components and reducing manufacturing complexity and cost.

The bar or frame material itself serves the dual function of structural support and fastening mechanism. Through plastic deformation, the material creates its own attachment feature without requiring external fastening components, making the structure self-sufficient and reducing manufacturing costs.
