The elastic element 124 provides fastening portion 12 with an uplifting elastic force for guiding and fastening into another object 4 (or the second object 3), or for providing another object 4 (or the second object 3) with an elastic force or shock absorption, such that the present invention can adapt to requirements of different application scenarios.


Further, the corresponding fastening portion 41 of another object 4 (or the second object 3) can be a hole, a groove, a pear-shaped hole, a through channel, a through hole, a recess, a protrusion, a stepped body, a planar body, an arc body, a curved body, a channel-like fitting portion, a hole-like fitting portion, a channel-like intermediate portion, or a hole-like inserting portion, such that the present invention can adapt to requirements of different application scenarios.


Referring to FIG. 34, as shown in the drawing, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the elastic element 124 can be a spring (the part a in FIG. 33), an elastic piece (the part b in FIG. 33), or an elastic column (the part c in FIG. 33). Further, the elastic force of the elastic element 124 can also thrust (not shown) toward the second direction.


Referring to FIG. 35, as shown in the drawing, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first direction and the second direction are the same direction or approximating directions. When the fastening portion 12 is a slot, the first direction and the second direction are the same direction or approximating directions, such that another object 4 (or the second object 3) can be placed in the fastening portion 12.


Referring to FIG. 36, as shown in the drawing, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the body 12 has a leaning portion 15 and a step portion 16 in the second direction. Thus, the leaning portion 15 and the step portion 16 can match each other to receive leaning of another object 4 (or the second object 3), such that the present invention can adapt to requirements of different application scenarios.


Referring to FIG. 37, as shown in the drawing, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fastening portion 12 (or the leaning portion 15) can be a movable part 19 for movably (e.g., rolling) fastening connecting, interfering or bearing the second object or another object (not shown). Further, the movable part is placed in a placement portion 111 of the body 11, and the body 11 has a stopping portion 112 for stopping the movable part 19 from rolling out of the placement portion 111 of the body 11. The movable part 19 can be a sphere.


Referring to FIGS. 38-1 and 38-2, as shown in the drawings, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the stopping portion 112 is larger than an outer diameter of the movable part 19, and is pressurized by an external force from the stamping part 5 for deformation after the movable part 19 is placed in a placement portion 111 of the body 11, so as to limit the movable part 19 within the placement portion 111 by the stopping portion 112, thereby completing the assembly of the movable part 19 (as shown in FIG. 38-1). Further, an external force is applied on the body 11 by the stamping part 5 after the movable part 19 is placed in the placement portion 111 of the body 11 to press and deform the body 11 to further form the stopping portion 112, so as to limit the movable part 19 within the placement portion 111 by the stopping portion 112, thereby completing the assembly of the movable part 19 (as shown in FIG. 38-2).


Referring to FIG. 39, as shown in the drawing, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, another movable part 191 is present between the movable part 19 and the body 11 to increase rolling or moving efficiency of the movable part 19. Further, the second object 3 (or another object 4) is for sliding, moving or rolling on the movable part 19, or the second object 3 (or another body 4) is for driving the movable part 19 to roll, move or slide.


Referring to FIG. 40, as shown in the drawing, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the movable part 19 can be a wheel. Thus, the second object 3 (or another object 4) can be similarly used to slide, move or roll on the movable part 19, or the second object 3 (or another object 4) is used for drive the movable part 19 to roll, move or slide.


Referring to FIG. 41, as shown in the drawing, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the movable part 19 is bolt connected to the body 11 by an assembly part 192, such that the present invention can adapt to requirements of different application scenarios.


While the present disclosure has been described by means of specific embodiments, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure set forth in the claims.

Claims
  • 1. A lateral locating device, comprising: a body, for assembling in a first direction thereof to a first object, comprising in a second direction thereof a fastening portion or a leaning portion for engagingly fastening, interfering or bearing in a second direction a second object or another object.
  • 2. The lateral locating device according to claim 1, wherein the fastening portion of the leaning portion is a movable part for movably fastening connecting, interfering or receiving leaning of the second object or another object.
  • 3. The lateral locating device according to claim 2, wherein another movable part for increasing rolling or moving efficiency of the movable part is pre sent between the movable part and the body.
  • 4. The lateral locating device according to claim 2, wherein the body has a stopping portion for stopping the movable part from departing from the body.
  • 5. The lateral locating device according to claim 4, wherein the stopping portion is larger than an outer diameter of the movable part, and is for being deformed by pressure of an external force after the movable part is placed in a placement portion of the body, so as to limit the movable part within the placement portion by the stopping portion.
  • 6. The lateral locating device according to claim 4, wherein after the movable part is placed in a placement portion of the body, pressured of an external force is applied on the body to deform a material of the body to form a stopping portion, so as to limit the movable part within the placement portion by the stopping portion.
