Fastener for water-sport appliance

Abstract

A fastener for a water-sport appliance includes a body of a certain thickness being disposed protrudingly on a working surface (e.g., an aquaboard), wherein the body is formed with a receiving chamber in a central portion thereof and a magnetic component is disposed on a wall surface of an end of the receiving chamber; and a cover being pivoted at an end of the receiving chamber of the body, wherein a magnetic component is also disposed at an end of the cover to attract the body and, in use of the fastener, the other end of the cover can be depressed so that the end of the cover is lifted upward to form a prong-like space for the water-sport appliance to abut against. Thus, the water-sport appliance can be held more safely and securely.

1 . A fastener for a water-sport appliance, the fastener at least comprising:
 a body being formed with a receiving chamber in a central portion thereof and with a plurality of locking holes along a periphery thereof, wherein a magnetic component is disposed protrudingly on a wall surface of an end of the receiving chamber;   a cover being pivoted to an end of the receiving chamber of the body by means of a pivot and formed with a pressing end and a snap-fit end, wherein at least one magnetic component is disposed at the snap-fit end; and   a plurality of fixing elements being respectively inserted through the locking holes disposed along the periphery of the body to fix the body onto an aquaboard.   
     
     
         2 . The fastener of  claim 1 , wherein the cover is formed with an arc-shaped portion beneath the snap-fit end and anti-slip ribs are formed on the arc-shaped portion. 
     
     
         3 . The fastener of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the magnetic components in the cover and the receiving chamber of the body is a magnet. 
     
     
         4 . The fastener of  claim 1 , wherein the magnetic components in the cover and the receiving chamber of the body are a magnet and an iron piece, respectively.
