Abstract

An elastic fastener has developed to be assembled and disassembled easily, even without the use of a separate tool, that can be firmly and repeatedly coupled, and an actuator module using the same. The elastic fastener includes a hollow socket adapted to be elastically inserted into insertion holes formed on joint members, and a fixing pin coupled to a hollow portion of the hollow socket. The actuator module includes a housing including a first lateral plate having at least one insertion hole for inserting an elastic fastener, a second lateral plate positioned to face the first lateral plate and provided with at least one insertion hole of an identical shape as the insertion hole of the first lateral plate, and two lateral surfaces positioned between both ends of the first and second lateral plates while facing each other; a first connection member coupled to a driving shaft of an actuator contained in the housing via the first lateral plate, the first connection member having at least one insertion hole of an identical shape as the insertion holes of the first and second lateral plates, the first connection member having a flat plate shape; and an elastic fastener including a hollow socket adapted to be elastically inserted into the insertion hole formed in the first connection member and a fixing pin coupled to the hollow portion of the hollow socket.
