Fastening device installing method and installing hole forming mechanism
View Patent ↗An installing hole forming mechanism includes at least one guiding sleeve and an inserting set. The at least one guiding sleeve includes a bore. The inserting set is detachably coupled to the at least one guiding sleeve and includes at least one spike configured to couple to the bore of the at least one guiding sleeve. The at least one spike includes a tip. When the at least one spike passes through the bore of the at least one guiding sleeve, the tip exposes from the guiding sleeve, and the at least one spike and the at least one guiding sleeve are forced to puncture a shoe such that at least one installing hole is formed on the shoe.
1. A fastening device installing method which is configured to install a fastening device to a shoe, comprising:
an installing hole forming step, wherein at least one guiding sleeve includes an inner wall defining a bore, at least one spike inserts into the bore of the at least one guiding sleeve to be surrounded by the inner wall to allow a tip of the at least one spike to expose from an edge of the at least one guiding sleeve, an inner diameter of the edge of the at least one guiding sleeve is smaller than or equal to a maximum diameter of the tip of the at least one spike which is not covered by the guiding sleeve, and the at least one spike and the at least one guiding sleeve are forced to puncture the shoe, thereby forming at least one installing hole on the shoe; and
a fastening device limiting step, wherein the fastening device is coupled to the at least one installing hole such that the fastening device is secured on the shoe.
2. The fastening device installing method of claim 1 , wherein, in the fastening device limiting step, the fastening device includes a bracket and a reel member, the bracket is coupled to the at least one installing hole, and then the reel member is coupled to the bracket.
3. The fastening device installing method of claim 2 , wherein,
in the installing hole forming step, the at least one spike is removed from the at least one guiding sleeve while the at least one guiding sleeve is remained in the at least one installing hole; and
in the fastening device limiting step, at least one engaging pin is provided to insert into the at least one guiding sleeve, the at least one guiding sleeve is pushed by the engaging pin and leaves the at least one installing hole, the at least one engaging pin is received in the at least one installing hole, and the bracket is coupled to the at least one engaging pin.
4. The fastening device installing method of claim 1 , further comprising:
a tongue positioning step, wherein a restricting set is provided to couple to a tongue of the shoe for positioning the tongue;
wherein the tongue positioning step is executed before the installing hole forming step.
5. The fastening device installing method of claim 4 , wherein, in the tongue positioning step, a bearing seat of the restricting set is positioned at one of an upper side and a lower side of the tongue, a pressing seat is located at the other one of the upper side and the lower side to couple to the bearing seat such that the tongue is limited between the bearing seat and the pressing seat.
