Adapters

The invention relates to a joint, in particular to a joint for applying on a paint hanger.

With the increasing popularity of electronic products, consumers are increasingly demanding the appearance of electronic products. In order to meet the needs of consumers, the shell of electronic products can be painted and painted in the production process to improve the appearance quality. Aesthetic and protective effect on the surface of the housing. The housing of the conventional electronic product is usually fixed on a rotatable fixture and then sprayed with paint. Because electronic products that need to be painted are often more complex, they often require different fixtures.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a housing 10 of an electronic product has a connecting portion 102 protruding from a surface thereof. The connecting portion 102 includes a first surface 1022 and a second surface 1024. The surface 1022 is at an angle to the second surface 1024.

In order to be able to fix the casing 10 to the jig when the paint is sprayed, a snap-type jig is used in the prior art. Referring to FIG. 3 together, the jig 20 includes a tubular body 202, and the tubular body 202 One end is provided with a plurality of upper hooks 204. The upper hanging portion 204 is radially arranged at one end of the tubular body 202, and each of the hanging portions 204 includes a connecting arm 2042 and a positioning portion 2044. The connecting arm 2042 has a rectangular cross section that extends outward from the outer peripheral wall of the tubular body 202. A stop portion 2046 is disposed on the free end of each connecting arm 2042. The cross-sectional area of the stopping portion 2046 is slightly larger than the cross-sectional area of the connecting arm 2042. The positioning portion 2044 is a pair of oppositely disposed positioning buckles. Each positioning portion 2044 includes a main body 2048 and a hook portion 2049. The main body 2048 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the hook portion 2049 is protruded from a side of the main body 2048. Each of the two positioning portions 2044 protrudes from a surface of the stopping portion 2046.
