  • Patent number: 5685682
    Abstract: A fastener device is provided for connecting a first component having a first aperture therein to a second component having a second aperture therein. The fastener device includes an axially extending first shaft portion for connection within the first aperture of the first component and an axially extending second shaft portion for connection within the second aperture of the second component. A connector portion extends between and interconnects the first and second shaft portions to each other. The shaft portions are each made of a first material and the connector portion is made of a different second material. The second material forming the connector portion is sufficiently flexible to permit axial and transverse movement of the first and second shaft portions relative each to allow for coaxial misalignment of the first and second apertures and to provide noise and vibration isolation between the first and second components in the assembled condition.
