1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a securing method, particularly, to a hot-melt pole and hot-melt method using the hot-melt pole.
2. Description of Related Art
The Hot-melt method is a common securing methods.
A typical hot-melt is used to combine two elements. One element includes a hot-melt pole. The other element defines a hot-melt hole. The hot-melt pole is inserted into the hot-melt hole, then melted and pressed by a device so as to link the two elements together.
However, the hot-melt pole is often deformed unevenly, such the two elements cannot stably combine with each other, deteriorating the lifespan of the two elements.
Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.
Many aspects of the hot-melt pole and hot-melt method using same can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. These drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present hot-melt pole and hot-melt method using same. Moreover, in the drawings like reference numerals designate corresponding sections throughout the several views.
The cover member 20 includes a first surface 21 and a second surface 22 opposite to the first surface 21. The second surface 22 is recessed to define a receiving groove 221. The receiving groove 221 has a similar shape and size as the button member 30, and configured for receiving the button member 30. The receiving groove 221 is surrounded by a bottom wall 2211 and a peripheral wall 2212. A hole 222 is defined through the bottom wall 2211 at a center thereof. One of the two hot-melt poles 10 protrudes from one end of the bottom wall 2211 on one side of the hole 222, the other hot-melt pole 10 protrudes from the other end of the bottom wall 2211 on the other side of hole 222.
The button member 30 includes a main portion 31 and two arms 32. The two arms 32 are secured to two opposite ends of the main portion 31, respectively. The main portion 31 is configured for being received in the hole 222, and being exposed from the first surface 21. Each arm 32 defines a hot-melt hole 321. The hot-melt hole 321 is a step hole, thus forming a ladder wall 322 surrounding the hot-melt hole 321. Each hot-melt hole 321 receives one corresponding hot-melt pole 10.
The hot-melt pole 10 is generally a hollow cylinder, and includes a first end 11 and an opposite second end 12. The first end 11 is secured to the cover member 20. The second end 12 defines a guide hole 121. The guide hole 121 is surrounded by a melting wall 122.
Referring to
The melting wall 122 of the present hot-melt pole 10 can be evenly melted and stably connect to the cover member 20, thus prolonging the lifespan of the two elements
It is to be understood, however, that even through numerous characteristics and advantages of the present disclosure have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of sections within the principles of the disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms, in which the appended claims are expressed.
