J-Type Fasteners
Tinnerman J-Type Speed Nut fasteners press easily into
self-retained position over panel edges or in center-panel
locations. They are ideally suited for blind assembly or hard-to-reach
installation. Offer floating alignment to speed production
and lessen rejections.
No specal tools, skills or equipment is required. Riveting,
welding, clinching, staking and other secondary fastening
devices are eliminated.
J-Type Speed Nuts can be applied after painting or
porcelainizing panels eliminating the need for masking or
retaping operations.
The J-Type Nut Retainer combines
a spring steel retainer with a multiple-threaded nut to provide
an ideal fastener for heavy duty applications requiring high
torque tightening, low fastener profile, "float"
for hole misalignment and blind assembly. They are easily
snapped over panel edge or inserted into rectangular holes
in central-panel locations. Floating alignment and retention
are attained with extrusions in the retaining legs which snap
into panel mounting holes allowing the fastener to shift or
align, but not disengage. Applied after painting or porcelainizing,
J-Type Nut Retainers eliminate
the need for masking or retapping clogged threads.
How to apply J-Type Nut Retainers
Push into position with thumb, snapping extrusion into hole.
Short leg of J-Type Speed Nuts
allows complete visibility of clearance hole while nut is
being positioned.
Place second panel in position and drive the screw. Access
to opposite side is unnecessary. Flush mounting can be attained
by embossing either panel.
J-Type Speed Nuts can also
be installed in center-panel locations through a rectangular
hole as shown above. They are ideal for blind application
and fastening.
