Abstract:
A fastening mechanism comprising a pin (90) having a shank (110) coupled to the head (100) at a first end (120) of said shank. A metallic pin-lock is provided having a base portion coupled to a resilient pin-engaging portion. The shank (110) has a circumferentially-formed notch (150) at a second end (130), said notch being adapted to receive the (220) resilient pin-engaging portion (220). A resilient member (220) is coupled to the base portion (210) of the metallic pin-lock (180) and to a mobile phone housing (10). A retainer (160) is provided for housing said fastening mechanism inside the mobile phone housing (10). Upon insertion of the pin (90) into the pin-lock (160), the pin (90) is adapted to move the resilient pin-engaging portion (180) a predetermined distance until the resilient pin-engaging portion (90) engages the circumferentially-formed notch (150). The pin-lock (180) is adapted to be removed from the pin (90) via a magnet (800) attracting at least a portion of the pin-lock (180) away from the pin (90).
