Abstract

A bolt and nut structure has a bolt nail, a nut nail and an elastic tube. The elastic tube has several outward plates, several convex blocks, a convex edge, and an elastic gap. The edge of the elastic tube has a ring hook. Inward plates on an inner side of the elastic tube will slide along a planar surface of the bolt nail but will engage an oval surface of the bold nail. Accordingly, the elastic tube is first placed in an interior space of the nut nail, an objected is then clamped between the bolt and nut nail, and the bolt nail is rotated 90 degree to fasten the object. The bolt nail can also be rotated 90 degree in an opposite direction to loosen the bolt nail. Therefore the bolt and nut structure are very convenient in use.

Claims (14)

1. A bolt and nut structure comprising:

a bolt nail having a thread and at least one planar surface extending alone a length thereof;

a nut nail having an open, interior space; and

an elastic tube having a plurality with outward plates, a plurality of convex blocks, a plurality of inward plates and a ring hook, at least one gap being provided in the elastic tube, the ring hook being at a front open end of the elastic tube and the at least one gap extending along a portion of a length of the elastic tube from the ring hook, the elastic tube being insertable into the open, interior space of the nut nail,

the bolt nail being rotatable relative to the nut nail to be readily attachable to and detachable from one another, the elastic tube being between the bolt nail and the nut nail and the thread meshing with the ring hook when the bolt nail is attached to the nut nail.

2. The bolt and nut structure of claim 1 , wherein the at least one planar surface accommodates the inward plates of the elastic tube during insertion of the bolt nail into the elastic tube, the bolt nail further having a head with a groove therein.

3. The bolt and nut structure of claim 2 , wherein the head of the bolt nail further has a plurality of markings surrounding the nail head to increase friction.

4. The bolt and nut structure of claim 2 , wherein the nut nail has a head with a groove extending across the head.

5. The bolt and nut structure of claim 1 , wherein the nut nail has a head with a groove extending across the head.

6. The bolt and nut structure of claim 5 , wherein the head of the nut nail has a plurality of markings surrounding the head to increase friction.

7. The bolt and nut structure of claim 1 , wherein both the bolt nail and the nut nail have a head with a groove extending across the heads.

8. The bolt and nut structure of claim 1 , wherein the at least one gap extends from the ring hook of the elastic tube and terminates before an opposed end of the elastic tube.

9. The bolt and nut structure of claim 1 , wherein the outward plates and the inward plates are spaced a same distance from the front open end of the elastic tube.

10. The bolt and nut structure of claim 1 , wherein the outward plates and the inward plates are spaced around a circumference of the elastic tube in a same plane.
