  • Patent number: 11078949
    Abstract: The inventive nut plate fastener includes a nut plate base comprising a flat elongated base plate. The base plate has each of a first and a second planar base face arranged parallel to each other. A cylindrical plate bore diameter is selected to be greater than the diameter of the threaded hole but lesser than the diameter of the nut body. A nut cage holds the nut in contact with the nut flange face such that the threaded hole and the plate bore rest in substantial coaxially alignment. The nut cage includes a first and a second nut cage bridge oriented about the plate bore in opposed symmetric relationship. Each bridge includes a center post positioned to engage the respective nut tang notch.

  • Patent number: 6918725
    Abstract: A metal nut (N) is held by a plastic clip-body (12). The clip-body (12) has first and second arms (16, 18) and an end wall (20) that form a closed end and an open end (6). The open end (60) includes cam surfaces for camming a member (M) into the open end (60). It also includes an annular locator wall (28) that extends upwardly from the second arm (18). The upper end of this locator wall is formed to slope upwardly as it extends inwardly from the open end of the clip-body (12). The sloping upper end of the locator wall (28) helps to cam the member (M) into the clip-body (12). The clip-body (12) includes a first arm (16) having sidewalls (36, 38) that extend outwardly from the arm (16).

  • Patent number: 6474917
    Abstract: A metal nut (N) is held by a plastic clip-body (12). The clip-body (12) has a first arm, a second arm and an open end that includes a cam section for camming a member into the open end. It also includes an annular locator wall that extends upwardly from the second arm of the clip-body. The upper end of this locator wall is formed to slope upwardly as it extends inwardly from the open end of the clip-body. The sloping upper end of the locator wall helps to cam the member into the clip-body. The first arm has a transverse end section (15) and sidewalls that extend upwardly from the first arm between the end section (15) and the free end of the first arm.

  • Publication number: 20020119026
    Abstract: A metal nut (N) is held by a plastic clip-body (12). The clip-body (12) has an open end that includes a cam section for camming a member into the open end. It also includes an annular locator wall that extends upwardly from the bottom wall of the clip-body. The upper end of this locator wall is formed to slope upwardly as it extends inwardly from the open end of the clip-body. The sloping upper end of the locator wall helps to cam the member into the clip-body. The clip-body includes a top wall having a transverse end section (15) and sidewalls that extend upwardly from the top wall between the end section (15) and the free end of the top wall.
