  • Patent number: 9777762
    Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to an apparatus for facilitating manual connection of a spring bolt assembly to a mounting structure. A handle is connected to a bolt holder. The bolt holder can define a proximal section adjacent the handle, a spring support, a front concavity disposed between the spring support and the proximal section, and a rear concavity disposed distally relative to the spring support. The front concavity can be configured to retain a bolt head and a washer of the spring bolt assembly. The spring support can be configured and disposed to retain a spring of the spring bolt assembly. A retainer can be disposed at a distal end of the bolt holder, and can be configured to contact the mounting structure so as to retain the mounting structure within the rear concavity, while also facilitating attachment of a nut to a distal end of the bolt shaft.
