Abstract: A flag for securing a work piece to an assembly jig comprises a base. At least one positioning member extends outwardly from the base for selectively pivoting about at least one axis. An end effector is connected to the at least one positioning member and defines an interaction point for engaging the work piece. A joining connection secures one of the at least one positioning member to another of the at least one positioning member. The joining connection has a first configuration and a second configuration. One of the at least one positioning member is moveable relative to another of the at least one positioning member in the first configuration. The joining connection defines at least one bore for receiving a dowel to secure one of the at least one positioning member to another of the at least one positioning member to lock the interaction point in the second configuration.

Abstract: A captive fastener including a bushing having a body portion and an internal bore extending through the body portion A snap ring is mounted within the internal bore. A fastener having an elongated shaft is mounted within the bore and is adapted to reciprocate within the bore between retracted and extended positions. The elongated shaft has a shank diameter and threads formed on one end of the fastener. The snap ring engages the bolt when the shaft is extended and retracted. The fastener has a shank diameter which is 0.020 inches to 0.060 inches shorter than the bore diameter so that the fastener can be moved laterally within the bore.

Abstract: A bushing for a drill template, the bushing has a head portion for receipt of a drill motor. The head portion has a top surface and a bottom surface with at least one pin protruding from the bottom surface of the head portion. The pin fits within a secondary opening in a template to help retain the bushing in place. A body portion extends from the bottom surface of the head portion. The body portion has an outer surface with a portion of it threaded. The body portion extends through a primary drill hole in the template. A fastening nut having inner threads mates with the outer threads on the body portion to lock the bushing to the template. A bore extends through the head portion and the body portion for receipt of a drill bit.
