ABSTRACT:
A panel fastener having a first section to be buried in one panel and a second section to be buried in another mating panel, said first section including: a hook plate fitted to an eccentric cam rotatably provided in said first section; and a leaf spring forced in between said hook plate and said eccentric cam. The two panels are connected and fastened together by rotating said eccentric cam in order to rotate said hook plate together with said eccentric cam, and by further rotating said cam in order to allow an end hook portion of said hook plate and a pin provided in said second section to tightly engage with each other. The panel fastener comprises a means for restricting rotational angles of said eccentric cam with respect to said hook plate within a specific range.
The panel fastener can reliably connect and fasten the panels together without any possibilities of failure of engagement between the hook plate and the pin due to an erroneous operation.
