A tolerance compensating connector (100) comprising a first member (10) having a threaded portion (12), a second member (20) comprising a bore (22) and an outer surface (21), the outer surface having a helical thread engagable with a receiver (40), the first member engaged with the bore, a third member (30) engaged with the first member and the second member, the third member transmitting a torque from the first member to the second member such that a first torque transmitted to the second member as the first member is turned in a first direction is sufficient to turn the second member in the receiver, the third member having a slipping engagement with the first member when the first torque is exceeded, and upon the first member being turned in a direction opposite the first direction the third member transmits a second torque to the second member sufficient to turn the second member in the receiver in a direction opposite the first direction. ® KIPO & WIPO 2008
