Abstract

Abstract A fastener device including a male fastener, a female fastener and a lock button. The male fastener has a pair of opposite outward projecting pressing latch boards integrally formed at two front ends thereof. Each pressing latch board has an integral inward projecting latch lug formed with a middle notch. The lock button is rotatably disposed on a latch seat of the female fastener and has a boss formed with lock blocks, whereby the lock button can be rotated to make the lock blocks of the boss thereof engaged into the notches of the latch lugs of the male fastener, so that the pressing latch boards of the male fastener are prevented from being withdrawn and unlocked from the latch seat of the female fastener by external force to achieve a reliable locking effect.
