Floating nut

Cage nut device designed to be installed in a structure comprising a bore having a first diameter (D), comprising:

• a nut comprising a tubular body provided with internal tapping, said tubular body extending along a first longitudinal axis, and one axial extremity of said body being connected to a flange that is substantially planar and located in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis;
• a nut support comprising a nut cage having a base and forming an internal housing able to accommodate the nut, the support also comprising a tubular portion, said tubular portion extending along a second longitudinal axis from an opening of the base of the nut cage, on a side opposite the internal housing, so that the flange of the nut can be inserted into said internal housing, in an installed position such that the first and second longitudinal axes are aligned,
• characterized in that an external surface of the tubular portion of the nut support comprises longitudinal splines having a second diameter (D′) smaller than the diameter of the bore to provide a clearance fit with the bore, and at least two longitudinal ribs having a third diameter (D″) greater than the diameter (D) of the bore to provide an interference fit with the bore.
