Hole A connection apparatus (1) which enables to mount parts together without the need for a connection means, which does not require the use of additional parts in order to conceal the parts performing the connection after the installation, and which removes the necessity of using an auxiliary tool by the operator during installation essentially comprises;
- at least one body (21) in contact with a face of the plate (P) and to which the user exerts a force during assembly,
at least one restrainer (22) which prevents from passing through the hole (D) on the plate (P) during disassembly,
parts that enable to fix the button (3) to the plate (P) which are
· a contact piece (231) which contacts the plate (P) and whose angle with the plate (P) during assembly is narrowed,
• a body part (232) which provides connection with the body (21) and whose angle with the plate (P) during installation is narrowed,
• a connection member (2) having at least one arm (23) comprising an coupling part (233) that couples the contact piece (231) and the body part (232) and has a cavity (234) thereon to prevent deformation during assembly,
at least one button (3) mounted with the connection member (2) and fixed at the location where it is positioned.
In one embodiment of the invention, the connection member (2) is provided. The connection member (2) comprises a body (21). The body (21) is a structure that contacts the plate (P) and on which the user applies a force. The body (21) is preferably circular. A recess (211) is located in the center part of the body (21). The recess (211) is the area where the tip of the button (3) enters. The recess (211)
may be in the preferred geometry depending on the shape of the button (3). In this embodiment of the present invention, the recess (211) is circular.
In one embodiment of the invention, there is a restrainer (22). The restrainer (22) prevents the connecting element (2) from entering the hole (D) on the plate (P) and moving it to the front of the plate (P) during demounting of the button (3) from the plate (P). In this embodiment of the invention, the restrainer (22) is integral with the body (21). Preferred number of restrainers (22) may be present on the body (21). In this embodiment of the invention, there are three restrainers (22). Each restrainer (22) remains between the two arms (23).
In one embodiment of the invention, the arm (23) is provided. The arm (23) creates a spring effect during mounting, which ensures that the button (3) to be firmly connected to the plate (P). In this embodiment of the invention, there are preferably four arms (23). Arms (23) are identical. The arms (23) are positioned at certain intervals around the body (21). The arms (23) are preferably integral with the body (21). The arm (23) comprises a contact piece (231). The contact piece
(231) is a member of the arm (23), which contacts the plate (P). When the contact piece (231) is in the free state, it is almost perpendicular to the ground. If the user applies a force to the body (21), the contact piece (231) flexes and the angle made by the plate (P) narrows down. If the force is interrupted, it returns to its former state. The connection of the arm (23) with the body is made by the body part
(232) . When the body part (232) is in the free state, it is almost perpendicular to the ground. If the user applies a force to the body (21), the body part (232) will flex and the angle with the plate (P) will be narrowed. If the force is interrupted, it will return to its former state. Between the contact piece (231) and the body part (232), there is a coupling piece (233). The coupling piece (233) stands parallel to the ground. If the user applies a force to the body (21), the distance between the coupling piece (233) and the plate (P) is reduced. If the force is interrupted, the distance to the plate (P) increases and it returns to its original state. There is a cavity (234) on the coupling piece (233). The cavity (234) allows the arms (23) to
return to their original state without deformation during assembly or disassembly. There is a flag (235) on the faces of contact piece (231) and the coupling piece (233) facing the plate (P) and at the edge they join. The flag (235) prevents breaks which may occur during the assembly or disassembly due to flexing.
The use of a connection apparatus (1) in this embodiment of the invention is performed as follows.
In case of mounting; the button (3) to be connected to the plate (P) is placed in the hole (D) on the plate (P). After the button (3) is placed on the plate (P), the connection member (2) is positioned on the back face of the plate (P) so that the tip of the button (3) getting out from the rear side of the hole (D) corresponds to the cavity (211) of the body (21). The user applies a force on the body (21) after the connection element (2) is placed on the plate (P). During application of force by the user, the contact pieces (231) and the body parts (232) of the arms (23) stretch. The angle between the contact piece (231) and the plate (P) and the angle between the body part (232) and the plate (P) narrows and the coupling piece (233) approaches the plate (P) while applying force to the body (21). When sufficient force is applied, the tip of the button (3) passes through the recess (211) and the button (3) is fixed to the plate (P).
In case of disassembly, the button (3) connected to the hole (D) on the plate (P) is separated from the plate (P) by being pulled in the opposite direction of entering the hole (D). At this time, the passage of the connection member (2) through the hole (D) by the effect of the force enabling separation of the button (3) from the plate (P) is achieved by means of the restrainers (22).
With the connection apparatus (1) of the present invention, mounting can be performed without a need for any complex mounting apparatus and/or pieces such as cover or bezel. Removing the use of connection pieces (bolts, nuts, screws, rivets, etc.) and the devices used for their mounting (air pistol, screwdriver, rivet
machine, etc.), which are used for the mounting of parts (button (3) etc.) together with the connection apparatus (1), allows the operator to mount without using any tools.

at least one body (21) in contact with a face of the plate (P) and to which the user exerts a force during assembly,
at least one restrainer (22) which prevents from passing through the hole (D) on the plate (P) during disassembly,
parts that enable to fix the button (3) to the plate (P) by creating a spring effect during mounting which are
• a contact piece (231) which contacts the plate (P) and whose angle with the plate (P) during assembly is narrowed,
• a body part (232) which provides connection with the body (21) and whose angle with the plate (P) during installation is narrowed,
• a connection member (2) having at least one arm (23) comprising an coupling part (233) that couples the contact piece (231) and the body part (232) and has a cavity (234) thereon to prevent deformation during assembly,
at least one button (3) mounted with the connection member and fixed at the location where it is positioned.
A connection apparatus (1) according to Claim 1, characterized by the body (21) having a circular geometry, including a recess (211) at its center depending on the form of the button (3).
A connection apparatus (1) according to Claim 1, characterized by the restrainer (22) which is integrated with the body (21) and each of which is located between two arms (23).
A connection apparatus (1) according to Claim 1, characterized by a contact piece (231) perpendicular to the ground when in a free state, which stretches towards the plate (P) and its angle with the plate (P) narrows when the user applies a force to the body (21).
A connection apparatus (1) according to Claim 1, characterized by the body part (232) perpendicular to the ground when in a free state, which stretches towards the plate (P) and its angle with the plate (P) narrows when the user applies a force to the body (21).
A connection apparatus (1) according to Claim 1, characterized by the coupling piece (233) parallel to the ground, the distance of which with the plate (P) decreases when the user applies a force to the body (2), and the distance of which with the plate (P) increases and which returns to its original state when the force is interrupted.
A connection apparatus (1) according to Claim 1, characterized by a flag (235), which is located on the faces of contact piece (231) and the coupling piece (233) facing the plate (P) and at the edge they join, and which prevents breaks.
