  • T-nut for a toilet bowl flange bolt
    Patent number: 12018709
    Abstract: A T-nut for a toilet bowl flange bolt is an apparatus that fastens a bolt for a toilet bowl flange without additional tools. The apparatus includes a T-nut body and a wing nut.

The T-nut includes a cavitated base, a handle, and a first threaded hole. The cavitated base engages the bolt through the first threaded hole. The handle allows a user to maneuver the cavitated base until the cavitated base securely presses against the toilet bowl flange. The wing nut includes a nut member, at least one wing member, and a second threaded hole. The nut member engages with the bolt through the second threaded hole as well, and the at least one wing member latches the nut member into the cavitated base.
