Abstract
A fastening structure includes an operating engaging element and a body portion. The operating engaging element has an engaging portion and an operating portion. The operating portion has a moving surface abutting against a corresponding moving surface of the operating engaging element to cause movement of the operating engaging element. The body portion has a mounting portion which the operating engaging element is mounted on; or the operating engaging element has a mounting portion which the body portion is mounted. With the engaging portion, the operating engaging element is fastened to an object, and the body portion is fastened to another object, thereby fastening the two objects together. Unfastening the two objects entails pressing the operating portion such that the moving surface of the operating portion abuts against the corresponding moving surface of the operating engaging element to cause movement of the operating engaging element, thereby separating the objects.
