ABSTRACT:
In the installation and removal of a fastener cap for covering a fastener which makes a front cover constructed as a first cover and a back cover constructed as a second cover fixed to each other by a fastener such as screw, which would appear on the exterior of products, the fastener cap is easily disassembled from the covers without marring the exterior of products, while maintaining an attractive appearance thereof. A back cover 20 which is coupled to a front cover 10 by means of a screw fastener 40, includes a fastener well 21 having a front assembly groove 23 and a back assembly groove 25 into which a front assembly projection 31 and a back assembly projection 32 on fastener cap 30 are respectively inserted during assembly. A supporting rib 33 on the fastener cap 30 is formed to be stopped by a push preventing projection 26 formed at the bottom of the fastener swell 21, so that the supporting rib 33 is stopped by the push preventing projection 26 to serve as a fulcrum when pressing the back assembly projection 32 of the fastener cap 30. As a result, the front portion of the fastener cap 30 is lifted above the surface of the cover, thereby allowing the removal of the fastener cap 30.
