Quick-disconnect fastener assembly for installing stowage bins and the like

摘要

A fastener assembly is provided that permits the quick connection and disconnection of various objects, including stowage bins. The fastener assembly includes a tubular connector for engaging a pin. The tubular connector may define a keyhole having a head end and a slot extending circumferentially from the head end. The head end is sized to receive an end portion of the pin and the slot has a width selected to engage the end portion of the pin. Thus, the end portion of the pin may be inserted through the head end and the tubular connector may then be rotated such that the end portion of the pin is engaged within the slot.
