The present invention solves the disadvantages of the conventional locking devices of this kind as described above, and pulls the device to one side by engaging the inclined engagement piece formed on the flat plate with the through hole provided in the synthetic resin plate. The object of the present invention is to provide a fastening tool that can be quickly fixed to a synthetic resin plate by simply using the fastening tool.

"Means for Solving the Problem" In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is constructed as follows.

That is, an inclined engagement piece facing in the same direction as the above-mentioned engagement part is formed on the intermediate lower surface of the flat plate part of the locking tool, which has an L-shaped engagement part that tilts downward at the front part. A curved joint in which the tip is bent at an angle toward the flat plate part, and the end of the inclined bent part is further curved to the side opposite to the flat plate part, so that a certain distance is left between the end part and the flat plate part. A small downward bent engagement piece is provided at the end of the flat plate part.

Furthermore, the inclined engaging piece of the flat plate part is loosely interposed at the edge of the synthetic resin plate, which has a thickness somewhat larger than the distance between the flat plate part and the curved joint of the inclined engaging piece. and a bent engagement piece at the end of the flat plate part, with a space between the through hole and the through hole narrower than the interval between the bent engagement piece and the inclined engagement piece of the flat plate part. There is a fitting hole that fits loosely into the hole.

"Function" Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the locking tool is arranged on the synthetic resin plate, and the inclined engagement piece of the flat plate part is inserted into the through hole of the synthetic resin plate, so that the slanted engagement piece is curved. With the edge of the joint section positioned below the bottom surface of the synthetic resin plate, and the bent engagement piece at the end of the flat plate part touching the synthetic resin plate at the rear of the fitting hole, move the locking tool forward. When pulled, the curved joint part of the inclined engagement piece is pressed down by the front edge of the through hole and goes under the bottom surface of the synthetic resin plate, and the bent engagement part of the flat plate part that can slide on the synthetic resin plate together with it. The piece fits into the fitting hole of the synthetic resin plate, and the locking tool is fixed to the synthetic resin plate.

"Example" Next, an example of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

A locking tool 2 is formed of a thin steel plate material or a similarly effective elastic material and has an L-shaped engaging portion 1 that is inclined downwardly at the front part and whose front end can be bent upwardly. An inclined engagement piece 4 that can be made in the same direction as the engagement part 1 is located in the middle of the flat plate part 3 that is connected to the engagement part 1 of the stop 2.
The tip of the inclined engagement piece 4 is bent at an angle toward the flat plate part 3 to form the inclined bent part 5.
The end of the flat plate part 3 is further bent to the side opposite to the flat plate part 3 to form a curved joint part 6 with a certain distance between the flat plate part 3 and the rear end of the flat plate part 3. A bent engagement piece 7 is provided by slightly bending a portion toward the same side as the inclined engagement piece 4.

The end of the synthetic resin plate 8 on which the locking tool 2 is attached is a curved joint 6 between the flat plate part 3 and the inclined engagement piece 4.
A through hole 9 is provided at the end of the hole 9, into which the inclined engagement piece 4 is loosely inserted, and the thickness is slightly larger than the distance between the through hole 9 and the through hole 9. The bent engagement piece 7 at the end of the flat plate part 3 is loosely inserted, leaving a gap smaller than the gap between the bent engagement piece 7 of the flat plate part 3 and the inclined engagement piece 4. Fitting hole 10
is worn.

Therefore, the locking tool 2 is placed on the end of the synthetic resin plate 8, and the inclined engagement piece 4 of the locking tool 2 is inserted into the through hole 9 of the synthetic resin plate 8 as shown in FIG. The edge of the curved joint part 6 of the mating piece 4 is positioned below the lower surface of the synthetic resin plate 8, and the bent engagement piece 7 at the end of the flat plate part 3 is placed on the synthetic resin plate 8 behind the fitting hole 10. and then attach the locking tool 2 as shown by the arrow.
When pulled forward, the curved joint part 6 of the inclined engagement piece 4 of the locking tool 2 is pushed down by the front edge of the through hole 9 and goes under the bottom surface of the synthetic resin plate 8, causing the end of the flat plate part 3 to bend. Engagement piece 7
is fitted into the fitting hole 10 of the synthetic resin plate 8, and as shown in FIG. A locking tool 2 is attached to the synthetic resin plate 8 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
is fixed.

"Effect of the invention" Since the invention is constructed as described above, it is possible to removably lock an ashtray that can be freely pulled out and installed on the front panel of the driver's seat of a car, or an opening/closing lid of an accessory compartment. When attaching a locking tool 2 for an automobile interior member equipped with an L-shaped engagement part 1 used for
Place the locking tool 2 on the end of the synthetic resin plate 8, insert the inclined engagement piece 4 of the locking tool 2 into the through hole 9 provided at the end of the synthetic resin board 8, and move the locking tool 2 forward. When pulled, the inclined bent part 5 of the inclined engagement piece 4 goes under the lower surface of the synthetic resin plate 8 through the curved joint part 6 while resisting elasticity.
At the same time as the curved joint part 6 of the inclined engagement piece 4 comes into elastic contact with the lower surface of the synthetic resin plate 8, the bent engagement piece 7 at the end of the flat plate part 3 of the locking tool 2 contacts the through hole 9 of the synthetic resin plate 8. By fitting into the fitting hole 10 provided at the rear, the locking tool 2 presses the flat plate portion 3 onto the synthetic resin plate 8 and engages the bent engagement piece 7 with the fitting hole 10. It can be fixed easily and quickly in the normal position of the synthetic resin plate 8.

Therefore, by using the locking device 2 of the present invention, it is possible to eliminate the inconveniences in attaching the conventional locking device 20 to the vehicle body and improve the productivity of the vehicle. It can be improved.
