Abstract
A spin nut is operable to attach to a threaded fastener such as a rod. The spin nut includes a threaded nut having a shoulder for supporting a bracket, and a snap retainer detachably coupled to the threaded nut operable to spin onto any position on the threaded rod. At least one wing is formed on the snap retainer operable to attach to a bracket having a hole and spin to adjust to a position on the threaded rod. The snap retainer is detachably couple the plurality of sectioned threaded nut sections operable to spring open on a side opposite the band to allow the threaded rod to pass through.
Claims23
A spin nut operable to attach to a threaded rod, comprising:
- a plurality of sectioned threaded nut sections forming a threaded nut;
- a shoulder formed on the threaded nut sections;
- a snap retainer detachably coupled to the threaded nut;
- a band, wherein the snap retainer and band detachably couple the plurality of sectioned threaded nut sections operable to spring open on a side opposite the band to allow the threaded rod to pass through;
- and
- at least one wing formed on the snap retainer operable to attach to a bracket having a hole and spin to adjust to a position on the threaded rod.
A spin nut operable to attach to a threaded fastener and a bracket:
- a first and a second sectioned threaded nut sections hinged via locking section tabs;
- a shoulder formed on the threaded nut sections;
- a snap retainer detachably coupled to the threaded nut sections operable to snap onto the threaded nut sections;
- at least one wing formed on the snap retainer operable to attach to a bracket having a hole and operable to spin and to adjust to a position on the threaded fastener;
- and
- a band detachably coupled to the first and second nut sections at and end opposite of the snap retainer and operable to spring open on an open side to allow the threaded fastener to pass through.
A spin nut operable to attach to a threaded fastener and a bracket:
- a first and a second sectioned threaded nut sections hinged via locking tabs, threads formed on an inside of the nut sections;
- a snap retainer operable to snap onto the threaded nut sections and to be inserted into and rotated about a bracket slot;
- a band detachably coupled to the first and second nut sections at an end opposite of the snap retainer;
- a shoulder operable to be inserted into the bracket slot to engage the bracket slot and support the bracket;
- and
- a tapered opening formed by a tapered first section and a tapered second section, operable to separate and to open to allow the threaded fastener to pass through.
