QUICK RELEASE STUD FASTENER

摘要

A quick-release stud fastener for fastening together a pair of members (6, 7), has a stud assembly (1) which has an elongate stud (3) having a head (31), a shank (34) depending therefrom, and a single, laterally extending pawl (37) at the end of the shank remote from the head. A stud retainer includes a housing (2) for mounting on the first member (6) and which has an elongate cross-section. The shank of the stud extends from the housing for engagement of the pawl with a receptacle (5) mounted on or an aperture in the other member (7) and the head (31) of the stud is constrained for relative axial and rotational movement in the housing. A compression spring (4) is disposed around the shank (34) of the stud within the housing, to bias the head of the stud away from the other member.
