Benefits of technology

This patented technology allows for secure attachment between two parts by utilizing threaded bolts or screws instead of traditional methods like rivets. It achieves this through specially designed cleat members that fit tightly around both components together without interferring them when they are being attached. These special features allow for easy movement over time due to their lengthy shape.

Problems solved by technology

Technological Problem: In this patented technology, how to create an effective way to connect different parts through quick-fix tools like bolts without having them come into contact again during production runs?

Embodiment Construction

[0015]The following description of the preferred embodiments is merely exemplary in nature and is in no way intended to limit the invention, its application, or uses. For example, although the present invention is discussed throughout as a fastener which is used for attachment to a stud 10 of an automobile having a head 12 and a threaded member 14 as seen, for example, in FIG. 1a, the fastener is not so limited and may be used in many other contexts.

[0016]Referring to FIG. 1, a preferred embodiment of a fastener useful for attachment to a variety of studs according to the present invention is generally indicated as 20. The fastener 20 is generally comprised of a housing 22 or body. The housing 22 is preferably made of a thermoplastic material. Preferred examples include, nylon, acetal, hytrel, and polypropelene.

[0017]A cavity 24 is located in the housing 22. The cavity 24 is surrounded by a wall 26 having a generally square cross-section. The dimensions of the cavity 24 are sufficient

Abstract

The disclosed fastener includes a body having a cavity therein and a wall at least partially surrounding said cavity. The fastener additionally includes a finger having a first member extending from the wall. The first member is attached to a second member having at least one engagement mechanism on its distal end adapted to cooperate with a second engagement mechanism on the stud to retain the fastener on the stud. The first member extends outwardly from the wall and the second member extends inwardly into the cavity. A plurality of fingers each include a lower surface angled upwardly toward the center of the cavity such that a stud contacting the lower surface will be moved toward the center of the cavity.
