<p>An improved slide-fit nut (10) is provided for rapid push-on mounting to a substantially seated position on a threaded bolt (12) or the like. The slide-fit nut includes a plurality of threaded nut segments (28) carried within a nut housing (18) and adapted for radial expansion to accommodate push-on mounting onto a threaded bolt (12). A cap plate (44) on the nut housing includes cam members (46) for retaining the nut segments in threaded engagement with the bolt upon rotation of the nut in a tightening direction. When the nut is rotated in an opposite direction, the cam members (46) displace the nut segments in a radially outward direction relative to the bolt, resulting in substantial disengagement of the nut segments to permit rapid pull-off removal of the nut (10) from the bolt (12).</p> |
