Nut Retainers
Tinnerman®
Nut Retainers combine the best advantages
of spring steel fasteners with the high strength of a multi-threaded
nut. They snap readily into bolt-receiving position at panel,
edges or center-panel locations and retain themselves in place.
Their application does not require special tools or skills,
eliminating the need for special operations. They can be applied
at any convenient spot along the assembly line after painting
or porcelainizing, thus eliminating the need for masking
or retapping clogged threads. The nut floats within the spring
steel cage more than enough to offset normal hole misalignment.
No other line of heavy duty fasteners offers so many advantages
for blind location assembly.
How to apply Nut Retainers
One retaining leg of the Nut Retainer
is inserted in the panel hole. The other leg is snapped in
place with a simple tool.
The second panel is then aligned and the bolt is started
into the threads of the captive nut.
The Nut Retainer, being self-retained
in a square hole, cannot turn as the bolt is tightened. Positive,
high torque attachment is the result.
