<p>A cage-nut assembly (10) includes a nut (14) positioned within a cage structure (12). The cage structure (12) is configured to provide high torsional strength to prevent rotation of the nut (14). The cage structure (12) has a flat base (16) and an at least partially open end portion (30). The cage structure (12) includes a blocking member (26) preventing the nut (14) from moving laterally along the base (16) through the at least partially open end portion (30). The blocking member (26) is relatively structurally weak in a direction orthogonal to a torsional rotation direction of the nut (14). The structurally weak blocking member (26) is bendable when less than approximately 20 lbs. of force (88.96N) is applied to the blocking member (26) to open the end portion (40) and allow the nut (14) to move laterally along the base (16) through the end portion for removal of the nut.</p> |
