Panels with a connecting device
Abstract
A connecting device is provided to connect panels and comprising at least one loop formed on a first panel, at least one through hole defined in a second panel for receiving the at least one loop and at least one snapper inserted into the at least loop after the loop received in the at least one through hole for connecting the panels. The snapper is divided into a handle portion and an inserting portion. A through hole is defined in the inserting portion and a leaf spring outwardly extends from a bottom of the through hole opposite to an inserting direction of the inserting portion. The leaf spring is engaged to an upper edge of the through hole in the second panel to position two adjacent panels.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . Panels with a connecting device, wherein the connecting device is provided to connect the panels and comprising: at least one loop integrally formed on a first panel such that at least one gap is defined within the at least one loop, at least one through hole defined in a second panel for receiving the at least one loop and at least one snapper inserted into the at least one loop after the at least one loop received in the at least one through hole for connecting the first panel and the second panel, the at least one snapper being L-shaped and divided into a handle portion and an inserting portion, a leaf spring outwardly extending from the at least one snapper opposite to an inserting direction of the inserting portion, the leaf spring inward pushed by the second panel when the top of the inserting portion passing the at least one loop and a free end of the leaf spring engaged to an upper edge of the at least one through hole in the second panel due to a restitution force of the leaf spring after passing the at least one loop to connect the first panel and the second panel.
