  • Patent number: 8920095
    Abstract: A fastener for securing workpieces is faster and easier to use than a conventional bolt or rivet, requires no tools to use, and is made from a material that does not rust, such as plastic. The fastener comprises a bottom plate with a ribbed shaft extending therefrom and inserted into a top plate with a throughhole adapted to accept the ribbed shaft. Workpieces intended for fastening are placed in between the two plates with the ribbed shaft inserted through them. Protruding from the interior of the throughhole of the top plate is at least one locking tab adapted to engage the ribs of the ribbed shaft to ensure securement.
