Snap structure
First Claim
1. A snap structure including:
- a post;
arrowhead-shaped snap pieces formed at a distal end of said post and elastically deformable in a radial direction;
leg pieces arranged to oppose said snap pieces; and
disengaging pieces which are connected each to one end of corresponding one of said snap pieces that are enlarged in diameter and which are capable of reducing in diameter said snap pieces manually, said snap pieces serving to deform elastically in the radial direction, upon insertion in a through hole formed in a chassis, to be fitted in the through hole, so as to clamp the chassis together with said leg pieces, characterized in that said post comprises a stopper portion for prohibiting said post from being inclined in the through hole at not less than a predetermined angle.

Abstract
A snap structure includes a post, arrowhead-shaped snap pieces, leg pieces, and disengaging pieces. The snap pieces are formed at a distal end of the post and elastically deformable in a radial direction. The leg peices are arranged to oppose the snap pieces. The disengaging pieces are connected each to one end of correcponding one of the snap pieces that are enlarged in diameter, and can reduce in diameter the snap pieces manually. The snap pieces deform elastically in the radial direction, upon insertion in a through hole formed in a chassis or the like, and are fitted in the through hole, so as to clamp the chassis or the like together with the leg pieces. The post includes a stopper portion for prohibiting the post from being inclined in the through hole at not less than a predetermined angle.
