Abstract

A securing device includes a base and a sheet placed on the base. The sheet includes a hole. A securing support is disposed opposite the hole of the sheet. A coupler secures the sheet to the base through the securing support. The securing support includes a contact face that contacts the coupler. The contact face includes a notch through which the securing support is removed from the coupler to separate the base from the sheet without removing the coupler.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A securing device comprising:
a base;
a sheet placed on the base, the sheet including a hole;
a securing support disposed opposite the hole of the sheet; and
a coupler to secure the sheet to the base through the securing support,
the securing support including a contact face to contact the coupler; the contact face including a notch through which the securing support is removed from the coupler to separate the base from the sheet without removing the coupler.

2. The securing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein a diameter of the hole is greater than an outer diameter of the coupler.

3. The securing device according to claim 1 ,

5. The securing device according to claim 4 ,
wherein the first plane and the second plane of the side wall are disposed opposite the notch.

6. The securing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the coupler includes:
a protrusion to penetrate through the hole of the sheet toward the base; and
an abutment, disposed at one end of the protrusion, to contact the securing support.

7. The securing device according to claim 6 ,
wherein the protrusion enters the sheet through the notch of the securing support.

8. The securing device according to claim 6 ,
wherein the protrusion includes a screw and the abutment includes a washer.
