Abstract

There is provided a fastening target member attached to an attachment member by a fastening member that includes a head and a shaft. The fastening target member has a surface, at least one insertion hole that allows the shaft of the fastening member to be inserted therethrough, and a fastening member removal structure that is formed in the surface of the fastening target member where the head of the fastening member is disposed and that has a pair of grooves. The pair of grooves face each other with the at least one insertion hole interposed therebetween. The pair of grooves are each formed from an inner circumferential side relative to the outer diameter of the head of the fastening member to an outer circumferential side relative to the outer diameter of the head of the fastening member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fastening target member,
wherein the fastening target member having a surface is attached to an attachment member by a fastening member that includes a head which has a predetermined diameter and an outer diameter and a shaft which has a smaller diameter than the diameter of the head and on which a thread is formed, and
wherein the fastening target member has at least one insertion hole that allows the shaft of the fastening member to be inserted therethrough and a fastening member removal structure that is formed in the surface of the fastening target member where the head of the fastening member is disposed and that has a pair of grooves which face each other with the at least one insertion hole interposed therebetween and which are each formed from an inner circumferential side relative to the outer diameter of the head of the fastening member to an outer circumferential side relative to the outer diameter of the head of the fastening member.

2. The fastening target member according to claim 1 ,
wherein the inner circumferential side of each of the pair of grooves relative to the outer diameter of the head of the fastening member is closer to the at least one insertion hole than, at a farthest from the at least one insertion hole, a position corresponding to the outer diameter of the head, and
wherein the inner circumferential side of each of the pair of grooves relative to the outer diameter of the head of the fastening member has a portion separated from the at least one insertion hole by a predetermined distance.

3. The fastening target member according to claim 2 ,
wherein each of the pair of grooves is curved along a rotational direction of the fastening member.

4. The fastening target member according to claim 1 ,
wherein each of the pair of grooves is curved along a rotational direction of the fastening member.

5. A fastening target member,
wherein the fastening target member is attached to an attachment member by a fastening member that includes a head which has a predetermined diameter and an outer diameter and a shaft which has a smaller diameter than the diameter of the head and on which a thread is formed, and
wherein the fastening target member has at least one insertion hole that allows the shaft of the fastening member to be inserted therethrough and a fastening member removal structure that has a pair of holes which penetrate through the fastening target member, which face each other with the at least one insertion hole interposed therebetween, and which are each formed from an inner circumferential side relative to the outer diameter of the head of the fastening member to an outer circumferential side relative to the outer diameter of the head of the fastening member.

6. The fastening target member according to claim 5 ,
wherein the inner circumferential side of each of the pair of holes relative to the outer diameter of the head of the fastening member is closer to the at least one insertion hole than, at a farthest from the at least one insertion hole, a position corresponding to the outer diameter of the head, and
wherein the inner circumferential side of each of the pair of holes relative to the outer diameter of the head of the fastening member has a portion separated from the at least one insertion hole by a predetermined distance.

7. The fastening target member according to claim 6 ,
wherein each of the pair of holes is curved along a rotational direction of the fastening member.

8. The fastening target member according to claim 5 ,
wherein each of the pair of holes is curved along a rotational direction of the fastening member.

9. A fastening structure comprising:
a fastening member that includes
a head which has a predetermined diameter and an outer diameter, and
a shaft which has a smaller diameter than the diameter of the head and on which a thread is formed;

a fastening target member that has a surface, at least one insertion hole allowing the shaft of the fastening member to be inserted therethrough, and a fastening member removal structure formed in the surface of the fastening target member where the head of the fastening member is disposed and having a pair of grooves or a pair of holes which face each other with the at least one insertion hole interposed therebetween and which are each formed from an inner circumferential side relative to the outer diameter of the head of the fastening member to an outer circumferential side relative to the outer diameter of the head of the fastening member; and
an attachment member to which the fastening target member is attached by the fastening member.
