Fastener assembly
A fastener assembly of the present disclosure includes a grommet including a head having a through-hole formed therein and at least one leg extending downward from the head; and a pin configured with a head and a shaft inserted into the grommet. The grommet and the pin are integrally formed by a connection tip.
1. A fastener assembly comprising:
a grommet including a head having a through-hole formed therein and a plurality of legs extending downwardly from the head; and
a pin including a head and a shaft inserted into the grommet, wherein the grommet and the pin are integrally formed by a connection tip,
wherein a plurality of fixing protrusions is disposed radially on a lower surface of the head of the grommet, and
wherein the plurality of fixing protrusions extends normal to the lower surface of the head of the grommet.
2. The fastener assembly of claim 1 , wherein the connection tip is severed when a force is applied in a direction in which the pin is inserted into the grommet.
3. The fastener assembly of claim 2 , wherein the connection tip is formed between the through-hole, and an insertion tip is formed on the shaft.
4. The fastener assembly of claim 3 , wherein four connection tips are disposed radially at equal intervals around the through-hole.
5. The fastener assembly of claim 1 , wherein the connection tip is formed during injection molding of the pin and the grommet.
6. The fastener assembly of claim 1 , wherein the head of the pin has a diameter equal to or greater than a diameter of the head of the grommet.
7. The fastener assembly of claim 6 , wherein a gap is formed between the head of the pin and the head of the grommet when the pin is inserted into the grommet.
8. The fastener assembly of claim 7 , wherein an upper end of the head of the grommet is formed into an arc shape, a lower end of the head of the pin is formed to be flat, and
the gap is formed between the upper end and the lower end.
9. The fastener assembly of claim 1 , wherein a key is formed on the pin, and a key groove is formed on the grommet.
10. A fastener assembly comprising:
a grommet including a plurality of legs extending from a head, the plurality of legs defining a through-hole; and
a pin including a head and a shaft extending from the head, the shaft configured to be inserted into the through-hole of the grommet,
wherein the plurality of legs includes a first leg, a second leg, a third leg, and a fourth leg that are disposed radially around the through-hole,
wherein a plurality of fixing protrusions is disposed along a lower surface of the head of the grommet and adjacent to gaps formed between the plurality of legs and around the through-hole.
