BACKGROUND 
       [0001]    1. Technical Field 
         [0002]    The present disclosure relates to a securing method, particularly, to a hot-melt pole and hot-melt method using the hot-melt pole. 
         [0003]    2. Description of Related Art 
         [0004]    The Hot-melt method is a common securing methods. 
         [0005]    A typical hot-melt is used to combine two elements. One element includes a hot-melt pole. The other element defines a hot-melt hole. The hot-melt pole is inserted into the hot-melt hole, then melted and pressed by a device so as to link the two elements together. 
         [0006]    However, the hot-melt pole is often deformed unevenly, such the two elements cannot stably combine with each other, deteriorating the lifespan of the two elements. 
         [0007]    Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art. 
     
    
     
       BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS 
         [0008]    Many aspects of the hot-melt pole and hot-melt method using same can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. These drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present hot-melt pole and hot-melt method using same. Moreover, in the drawings like reference numerals designate corresponding sections throughout the several views.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0013]      FIG. 1  shows a cover assembly  100  including an exemplary hot-melt pole  10 . The cover assembly  100  includes two hot-melt poles  10 , a cover member  20 , and a button member  30 . The present hot-melt pole is used to combine, in this embodiment, the cover member  20  and the button member  30  together. 
         [0014]    The cover member  20  includes a first surface  21  and a second surface  22  opposite to the first surface  21 . The second surface  22  is recessed to define a receiving groove  221 . The receiving groove  221  has a similar shape and size as the button member  30 , and configured for receiving the button member  30 . The receiving groove  221  is surrounded by a bottom wall  2211  and a peripheral wall  2212 . A hole  222  is defined through the bottom wall  2211  at a center thereof. One of the two hot-melt poles  10  protrudes from one end of the bottom wall  2211  on one side of the hole  222 , the other hot-melt pole  10  protrudes from the other end of the bottom wall  2211  on the other side of hole  222 . 
         [0015]    The button member  30  includes a main portion  31  and two arms  32 . The two arms  32  are secured to two opposite ends of the main portion  31 , respectively. The main portion  31  is configured for being received in the hole  222 , and being exposed from the first surface  21 . Each arm  32  defines a hot-melt hole  321 . The hot-melt hole  321  is a step hole, thus forming a ladder wall  322  surrounding the hot-melt hole  321 . Each hot-melt hole  321  receives one corresponding hot-melt pole  10 . 
         [0016]    The hot-melt pole  10  is generally a hollow cylinder, and includes a first end  11  and an opposite second end  12 . The first end  11  is secured to the cover member  20 . The second end  12  defines a guide hole  121 . The guide hole  121  is surrounded by a melting wall  122 . 
         [0017]    Referring to  FIG. 3 , to combine the button member  30  and the cover member  20 , the button member  30  is inserted into the receiving groove  221 , with the main portion  31  received in the hole  222 . At this time, each hot-melt hole  321  receives one corresponding hot-melt pole  10 . Then a hot-melt device  40  is provided. The hot-melt device  40  includes a body section  41  and two hot-melt heads  42  protruding from the body section  41 . Each hot-melt head  42  includes a guide pin  421 , a pressing portion  422  and a connecting portion  423 . The connecting portion  423  connects the guide pin  421  and the pressing portion  422  together. The pressing portion  422  protrudes from one side of the body section  41 . Each guide pin  421  is inserted into a corresponding guide hole  121  of one corresponding hot-melt pole  10 . The pressing portion  422  heats up and presses the melting wall  122  of the hot-melt poles  10  to make the melting wall  122  melt and adhere to the ladder wall  322 , thus connecting the button member  30  and the cover member  20  together. 
         [0018]    The melting wall  122  of the present hot-melt pole  10  can be evenly melted and stably connect to the cover member  20 , thus prolonging the lifespan of the two elements 
         [0019]    It is to be understood, however, that even through numerous characteristics and advantages of the present disclosure have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of sections within the principles of the disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms, in which the appended claims are expressed.
