The present invention discloses a fastener with lateral fastening mechanism, including an outer case, a slide block, a claw-shaped head, and a flexible member. The outer case is a hollow tubular member. A swing lever is pivotally connected inside the outer case. The slide block can move freely to a first position where the slide block is hidden inside the outer case, and to a second position where the slide block sticks out of the outer case. One end of the slide block is pivotally connected to the claw-shaped head, and the flexible member can constantly provide force for pushing the claw-shaped head and the slide block. A guide area of the slide block can interact with the swing end of the swing lever, and in the state of interaction, the position of the slide block can be decided to be either at the first position or the second position.

What is claimed is: 1. A fastener with a lateral fastening mechanism, suitable for fastening an object from the lateral side of the object, including: an outer case and a pivotally connected swing lever, the outer case being a hollow tubular member with an open end, and the pivotally connected swing lever being provided inside the outer case and having one end connected to the outer case and the other end being a swing end capable of making sway motions; a slide block having a nose located at a path of the object, wherein the nose is pushed by the object for a corresponding movement so that, when in a state of movement, a slide block is actuated and capable of sliding freely inside the outer case towards a first position and a second position; the slide block remaining hidden inside the outer case when at the first position, due to being confined by the swing end of the swing lever, and the slide block sticking out of the outer case from its open end when at the second position; wherein a guide area with special geometric-design blocks is provided at a side facing the swing lever so that the guide area interacts with the swing end of the swing lever for motions, so that, when in the state of interaction, the position of the slide block is selected from either the first position or the second position; a claw-shaped head being pivotally connected to the slide block and capable of freely moving inside the outer case along with the sliding movement of the slide block; and a flexible member, which freely goes through the center of the slide block and constantly provide resilience to push the claw-shaped head towards the open end so that it sticks out of the outer case; wherein, when the claw-shaped head actuates the slide block and arrives at the second position, the claw portion avoids being dropped in the path where the object and the nose will meet; and wherein, when the slide block and the claw-shaped head move towards the inside of the outer case through mutual actuation and arrive at the first position, the claw-shaped head will slide towards the open end of the outer case and make a swaying movement by using the pivot point as its center, wherein the pivot point allows the claw-shaped head to be pivotally connected to the slide block; wherein the swaying movement allows the claw portion to move towards the nose and perform a clamping operation at the lateral side of the object, wherein a protruded hook is provided at an outer surface of the slide block, the protruded hook being capable of sliding along a track provided at a surface of the outer case, wherein, when the slide block slides to the second position, the hook moves to one end of the track, so as to utilize the track to prevent the slide block from detaching from the outer case. 2. The fastener with a lateral fastening mechanism as claimed in claim 1, wherein one end of the swing lever is pivotally connected to the outer case. 3. The fastener with a lateral fastening mechanism as claimed in claim 1, wherein a friction member is further provided inside the outer case, the friction member being smoothly attached to the inner wall of the outer case and having a fastening anchor for fastening an anchor hole on the wall of the outer case. 4. The fastener with a lateral fastening mechanism as claimed in claim 3, wherein one end of the swing lever is pivotally connected to the function member. 5. The fastener with a lateral fastening mechanism as claimed in claim 3, wherein the friction member has a resilient sheet that constantly pushes against the swing lever. 6. The fastener with a lateral fastening mechanism as claimed in claim 1, wherein the claw-shaped head is pivotally connected to an axle protruding from two sides of the slide block, the claw-shaped head having a pair of extended arms, each extended arm containing a pivot hole respectively; through which the extended arms are pivotally connected to the axle of the slide block. 7. The fastener with a lateral fastening mechanism as claimed in claim 1, wherein the flexible member is a compression spring. 8. The fastener with a lateral fastening mechanism as claimed in claim 1, wherein the outer case is a hollow tubular member with one end open and the other end closed, one end of the flexible member countervailing the closed end and the other end of the flexible member countervailing the inner side of the claw portion. 9. The fastener with a lateral fastening mechanism as claimed in claim 1, wherein the open end of the outer case has a top-ending rim formed by three adjacent top-ending portions along the rim of the open end, so that, when the claw-shaped head is actuated by the slide block and moves towards the first position, the top-ending rim guides the claw-shaped head to make sway movement by using the pivot point as its center, the pivot point allowing the claw-shaped head to be pivotally connected to the slide block, so that the claw portion moves towards the nose and performs a clamping operation at the lateral side of the object. 10. The fastener with a lateral fastening mechanism as claimed in claim 1, wherein the guide area has a plurality of protruded blacks of special geometric-designed shapes, including four slanting planes and two straight edge-lines, including the first guiding line and the second guiding line. 11. The fastener with a lateral fastening mechanism as claimed in claim 10, wherein, when the slide block moves towards the first position, the first slanting plane is used to guide the swing end of the swing lever to move towards the direction of the first guiding line. 12. The fastener with a lateral fastening mechanism as claimed in claim 11, wherein, when the slide block continues to move towards the first position, the second slanting plane guides the swing end of the swing lever to move towards the center of the guide area of the slide block. 13. The fastener with a lateral fastening mechanism as claimed in claim 12, wherein, when the slide block slides towards the open end of the outer case, the swing end of the swing lever countervails the V-shaped third slanting plane located at the center of the guide area so as to stop the slide block from continuously moving towards the open end of the outer case, thereby allowing the slide block to remain at the first position. 14. The fastener with a lateral fastening mechanism as claimed in claim 13, wherein, when the slide block moves in a direction opposite to the open end of the outer case, the swing end of the swing lever correspondingly moves towards the fourth slanting plane, whereby the fourth slanting plane guides the swing end of the swing lever to move towards the edge of the guide area and reach the second guiding line. 15. The fastener with a lateral fastening mechanism as claimed in claim 14, wherein, when the slide block moves towards the open end of the outer case, the swing end of the swing lever goes back to the second position through guidance offered by the second guiding line.
