  • Patent number: 8596941
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods for an accessory retaining device are described. According to various embodiments, a handle, shaft and flange are configured to provide a rotational interface. With the assistance of threading between the shaft and the handle or other components, rotation of the handle causes axial movement of the shaft and compression of a grommet located about the shaft or flange. Compression of the grommet results in radial expansion. In this way, the accessory retaining device is adapted to secure an accessory to a mounting aperture located on a vehicle or other device when the handle is in a closed position. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 8475098
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods for an accessory retaining device are described. According to various embodiments, a handle, shaft and fastener are configured to provide a rotational interface. With the assistance of a cam bushing, threading between the shaft and the fastener or other components, rotation of the handle causes axial movement of the shaft or fastener and compression of a grommet located about the shaft or fastener. Compression of the grommet results in radial expansion. In this way, the accessory retaining device is adapted to secure an accessory to a mounting aperture located on a vehicle or other device when the handle is in a closed position.
