Patent number: 11673242Abstract: A fastener device is disclosed. The fastener device includes a hub defining a bore, an attachment shank including a proximal stop and distal bit received within the bore, a retainer releasably engagable with a proximal end of the hub and a defining a passageway for a proximal mounting end of the attachment shank, a biasing element engaged with the proximal stop, and a split cam assembly disposed within a distal end of the bore. The split cam assembly is biased toward a closed configuration for engaging and retaining the head of a fastener, and is piovtable upon distal advancement of the attachment shank and distal bit, against the head, to release the head from engagement with the split cam assembly.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2020Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: SHUR-A-TAK TECHNOLOGIES LLCInventors: Walter Heinrich Nagel, III, Michael Pintz, Michael Keller, Andrew Somrack
