  • Fastener with clutch mechanism and fastener operating method
    Patent number: 12704144
    Abstract: A system and method for a fastener. The fastener, in one example, includes a clutch mechanism configured to transition to a disengaged configuration responsive to a clamping force of the fastener exceeding a threshold value. The clutch mechanism includes a drive nut that is configured to mate with a head of a screw in an engaged configuration and a spring configured to interact with the screw head and where in the disengaged configuration of the clutch mechanism, rotation of the drive nut in a first direction does not induce rotation of the screw and rotation of the drive nut in a second direction induces rotation of the screw in an unclamping direction.
